AKLulu Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 For those of you who have been following the man thread to this effect (well... the opposite really.... how it's great to be a man), I think we need a place to express how great it can be to be a woman... and possibly also rebut/refute some of the men's jabs against women. I'm trying to be at least slightly respectful and refrain from posting in their thread Let me start by saying: BOOBS. I think those are well and truly in our favor (even if they can be a bit of a hindrance during high-impact sports)And menstruation (get it right) - yeah, it sucks, but attracting bears? I lived in grizzly bear country most of my life. I don't know how true it is that a woman's menses attract animals, but it doesn't take much to attract bears - the bucket of turpentine my dad was soaking paint brushes in for example (all drank up and the bristles of the brushes GONE). I would think that stinky men would have just as fair a chance of attracting bears At least I'm not scared s***less by bears. I could take 'em!

Morrigainz Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Aaaaaaaaaaaahahahah I was wondering how long this would take I love The Cute Card. It gets me free drinks (I'm sorry, I know, totally stereotypical and hypocritical and etc etc etc...but it does). Quote Level ?

AKLulu Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hey, nothing wrong with that card! Sometimes you don't even have to be cute, you just have to be female! I love going out with guy friends... I never have to pay for a drink Quote Lulu : one that is remarkable or wonderful (it's in the dictionary, it must be true) Battle Log | Pinterest | Twitter | Instagram Link to comment
NotBadForAHuman Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 And in that same vein, while women *can* smell bad, it doesn't happen nearly as quickly (or as bad) as with men. I've worked enough video gaming conventions to know this. Quote Link to comment
Maggie May Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Yeah I also love the cute card. Ashamedly I've told my husband to "let me do the talking" because I've thought I'd get something free (or discounted) if I was by myself. Or if I just unbuttoned my shirt one button... yep, works every time. Terrible, but true.Also... we have an excuse of eating mass amounts of chocolate or ice cream and can have a perfectly valid excuse Quote Link to comment
Morrigainz Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 True - men are stinky!And their POOS are stinky too...my god.....my husband can stank me out of the house after a bathroom session.ETA: I have noticed this to be the case with other men also, so I consider my anecdotal evidence to be confirmed.

AKLulu Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Well, and not only eating ice cream, but crying for no reason and much much more! Ahh.... periods suck, but having an excuse to be "hormonal" - priceless.

IrishPirate Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Im all about the cute card, and the boobs card.Those two things combined, will get free drinks any time!

AKLulu Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Heh. It was in reference to getting rebounds in basketball, but my dad always said, "Use your biggest ASSets."

Guest Gemeaux Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I was hoping someone world start this !Boobs ! Yes . Mine are not big but I love them , they sometimes get me discounts !Oh and I do play the cute card as well . I love that I can be feminine yet tough. I can wear pink workout clothes and lift weights ( soon as much as the boys I hope ) Quote Link to comment
Guest Gemeaux Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 And we deal with pain a lot better . Can you imagine guys getting waxes , their periods etc ? Quote Link to comment
Maggie May Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 And we deal with pain a lot better . Can you imagine guys getting waxes , their periods etc ?HAH! I ALWAYS joke with my husband about this. Occasionally I force him to let me pluck his eyebrows (when they get too bushy) and he is such a wimp about it. There's no way he'd be able to go through a wax or laser-hair removal!!! lol! Quote Link to comment

Arashi Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Re: cute card and variations. When I was younger (late teens/very early 20s), every time there was a male attendant at McD, I'm order a sundae with an obscene amount of nuts - while leaning over the counter. Worked EVERY TIME! You should see their faces when I used the word obscene, it was hilarious!I can't do that anymore, the guys at McD are way too young and I'd feel like a creep. Quote Link to comment
eco2pia Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Make-up. specifically cover-up for acne, and mascara for eyes. Sure you may not love feeling like you have to put it on, but the confidence it gives spotty teen girls...I felt sorry for the spotty teen boys. Being able to dramatically change things you don't love with $5 and 10 minutes.And skirts/sandals in hot weather, so comfy, yet office worthy. Playing the helpless card w/o shame at the feed store if I just don't wanna load up....and then turning around and throwing around feed sacks like nothing just for the shock on their face.Being able to calmly ask for directions if I get turned around.Not breaking the stuff I am trying to fix--I DO know my own strength.Knowing how to use your brain and body weight to get stuff done without having to muscle through it.Charm.Flexibility.The ability to multi-task effortlessly.Girls night out. Dancing. The immediate attention of the bartender/waiter.Getting hit on. (sometimes annoying, but recently heard male friends talking about how rare that is for guys. Free ego boost for us.)

Guest Gemeaux Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 And I'm glad I don't have a penis , they look like they could get in the way . And as women no one knows if we are turned on . Quote Link to comment
AKLulu Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Oh! I also love being a STRONG woman! Because guys are so much more impressed when women can do things than when men can Quote Lulu : one that is remarkable or wonderful (it's in the dictionary, it must be true) Battle Log | Pinterest | Twitter | Instagram Link to comment
morethanjustamom Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I think women are emotionally stronger than men. At least, that's been my experience. We can multitask. Skirts. And shoes!

Arashi Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Being able to calmly ask for directions if I get turned around.Jesus, this. This whole 'I'm a man, therefore I am never wrong and always know where I'm going' mentality is so counter-productive. And unattractive. Quote Link to comment
AKLulu Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I think I was raised by too many men... I have trouble asking for directions, but I'm getting better.

Guest Eduard Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I'm here just to remind you all that you have periods, pregnacy, can't pee standing up without making a hell of a mess, your boobs hurt while our pecs don't, you don't produce testosterone so you rely just on HGH to build muscle which means you won't build as much as us men do, you can't have secks without damaging your reputation, you're more often depressive than most men, and you have to shave your legs and arms.Now, before you jump on me, this is just some justice served for the two girls who posted in our area (one and two) and for the fact that OP copied our thread "It's Great To Be A Man" which means she obviously read it, and she's probably not the only one ("...For those of you who have been following the man thread to this effect...").Love you! <3 But really, you've been warned. There's a reason why we have separate areas to talk, and it's because men shouldn't read what women discuss intimately, and vice versa. Quote Link to comment
Loren Wade Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Eduard. It's gonna happen. I read the Womens ones all the time. If I can help, I will, female or male. Quote lobro's a druid? twitter | fb Link to comment
