It's Great To Be A Man


Recommended Posts

That girls are, for the majority, attracted to our sex is a bonus ^u^

And... you know how females have more 'grey matter' in their brain which allows them the ability to multi-task better? Yeah, I got like zilch because I have no multi-tasking ability at all. Not that I mind too much as the trade off is that I have a focus that can allow me to pick up a subject faster than some (but of course, this is generalizations, as the ratios and inner workings of the brain shift between each individual)

An elephant's brain is about 10 kg, but I don't see an elephant winning the Nobel prize the coming year.

i can't believe none of ya'll have mentioned that men tend to get better (more distinguished) looking as they get older...while women tend to peak and fade. i'm so jealous of ya'll for that.

Oh man, you are totally right. I've had women mention that they can't wait until a salt and peppered version of BigM exists.

I've had cockroaches... some dude next to us was a walking health hazard and spread his filth to our apartment building. They were gross.

So we bombed the hell out of our kitchen and killed the mofo's. Exterminator unnecessary. We are men... we saran wrapped the doorways and windows and then left the house to soak in the gas for 24 hours.

Good times.

You ever see those guys who look like they totally used to be in shape?
I'm working to get back to that...

Went to the bar, right?

This is Lemony, the drywall spider I found on my couch a while back. Note: this is not photoshopped, that is his actual color!

And this is Phyllis. Her and her thousands of siblings used to live in our basement, but Phyllis would come upstairs to say 'Hello!'

The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.

There was aggression on both sides.

This had nothing to do with brain size ^_^

In fact, ALL human's brains have continued shrinking throughout the ages. It's the fact that they get more wrinkly that makes them actually able to hold more information.

I was simply referencing there's a trade off between the ability to focus and the ability to multi-task.

And actually, my terminology was wrong. It's men who have more of the Grey matter, and women who have more of the white matter (though, my rational was still correct, as the white matter is more connective for multi-data assimilation whereas grey matter is more for local processing)

I mean, this whole thread is basically meant to be taken at some level of a generalization anyways... since there are actually females who can pee standing up and guys who get free stuff because girls fawn over them. There are just much much less.

The ability to join a fraternity. If any of y'all are still young enough to do so, do it. Greatest experience of my life so far.

And remember, "Joining a fraternity means nothing. But when you have really worked for it, sweated for it, cursed it, and loved it, as well as the men in it, you have something." -Alfred "Koko" Kovner, Pi Lambda Phi, PA Alpha Delta Chapter, Temple University

Maybe I'm breaking a guy code or most of you aren't parents or married, but yeah, I'm kinda surprised at what I'm reading...what about being a good husband and father? Seriously, I can't wait for the day I get to be both... :dispirited:

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

No wife, not kids, but could not agree more! All I have to do is look at my own father, my brother (father or 2), and my brother-in-law (father of 2) to see just how well a husband and father some men are made to be. So proud of all 3 of them!!

All I have to do is look at my father, my in-laws and my friends and just think "Holy crap, some of these people were actually allowed to be put in charge of OTHER SMALLER HUMANS!!! What is wrong with the world!?!?!?" *shrugs* It's harder than it looks.
