Why are girls expected not to fart?

Question

Okay so to make a long story short, I have never been comfortable farting in front of anyone (especially boyfriends!) It's honestly the most embarrassing thing ever and makes people laugh at your expense which is why I avoid it as much as humanly possible. However, it has happened on accident once or twice in some of my relationships and needless to say I was beyond mortified! The guy has always reacted the same way. He laughs his ass off and keeps playfully bringing it up, adding to my humiliation. Why are guys so amused by it? Meanwhile the girl is so embarrassed and wishes to erase it from her memory LOL. Most of my boyfriends had no problem farting in my presence and didn't think twice about it! Whenever I did it by accident, they would make it seem like I was the only girl in the would capable of doing that! :P Why do guys make a big deal out of it when a girl farts for first time in front of them? Why does he purposely tease her about it? I know this is totally random but I'm curious!

No secure man has ever given a shit if something natural happens with a woman... the guy that you said was laughing... thought the same. Its a natural bodily function... and will happen from time to time...
yea, people say its not "woman-like"... you know what i say? they can go fuck themselves... just like all the women that try to say what a "real" man is..
what are their fucking qualifications to judge?
to be fucking honest, i'd rather my girl let one rip, rather than hold that shit in so she can concentrate on me after. I've seen girls that hold that shit in... look like bobble headed poodles... just let it rip... breathe a sigh of relief... and if it stinks? relocate lol.

Most guys find potty humor amusing so a simple thing like a fart will (literally) make them laugh their asses off.

Why are girls not expected to fart? Because although farting is natural and everybody does it, it is seen as "unlady like" and "rude," especially if done in a public setting. Women are expected to uphold an image of perfection and it's stupid and unfair.

Don't feel bad about farting because you gotta remember that everyone does it. If it happens on accident, try to make a joke out of it. Feeling embarrassed will only make your partners tease you more. Lol.

Or you know you could just talk with your boyfriend and express how you want to be comfortable around them but you can't when they do this. before my boyfriend and I moved in together I told him straight up that around my period farts slip left right and centre and what I need from him is to pretend nothing happened and that is just what he's done. If you don't date an asshole this stuff is pretty easy.

Because guys know how perfect we try to be around them so when we slip (or let one slip LOL) they think it's hilarious.

But I totally get why you'd be embarrassed. Us girls aren't supposed to fart, be hairy, sweat... otherwise we're "one of the guys" and no guy wants to screw their mate.

Lol if a guy hinks I shouldn't fart, I'm pinning him down and farting on his damn head. It's normal, who cares?

This one time my girlfriend farted and she thought it was cute. I took off my belt, unzipped my pants, pulled down my skivies, and proceeded to lay down a fresh warm nugget on her forehead to let her know who runs the fucking show. She cried afterwards so I backhanded her across the face and told her to shut the fuck up. My girlfriend hasn't farted since.

It is more of a joke on society than you. They are laughing at your action not you. All guys kind of react the same way to an extent women also do. To a guy a fart will always be funny. When you fart your reminding the guys that your human and not just some pretty thing. With guys teasing is often a sign of affection. Unlike girls we often jokingly insult our friends in a way that they know we're joking. So often we stupidly do the same thing with women we comfy with. Which hurts your feelings.
Next time guys tease you about it show that your hurt and mad or sad at thier actions. Be verbal about it even. If your shy. They will stop.

LogicBomber · Answer

So let me get this straight...
You want to know why girls are expected no to fart, because you have chosen not to and when you do the guys generally just laugh it off and make it a joke because you turn it into something more than it is.
You (and other girls) made not farting a thing and because you all refuse to do it, when it happens it is weird because it is now not common.
But as you proven, we don't make a big deal about it. If we did, we would be like "GROSS OMG I can't believe you just did that." instead of simply laughing it off.

Because they know that you were trying to hide it from them. And they know you slipped up, which is just funny. They tease you because they know that you are really embarrassed. Its just comedy.
They will stop teasing you once you are no longer embarrassed. Then they have no ammo. Dont worry, most guys think its cute. They just tease for the lolz.

These things tend to go away after you grow into your relationship more.

Now if you did something really bad, like poop, now that would be a dealbreaker

godfatherfan · Answer

I have never done it in front of any female, dating or not.
I never purposely did it in front of my ex, who I was with 25 years.
For me, it is about showing respect to her. While i am not comfortable I really don't care if she does in front of me. However, I will never joke around about it and I certainly don't find it funny. I would just ignore it and never bring it up again...

1988fido · Answer

That is their way of saying it's alright we are cool with it. We know U r human 2
At least a gentleman would do all that for that reason.

But for me I keep talking in our conversation like nothing did happen I :) don't want her to feel awkward or embarrassed.

balcora84 · Answer

it because your embarrassed about that they poke fun. if you did it and you didn't care, neither would they. i never fart intentionally in front of anyone not because its embarrassing but because its rude. manners matter. its also a bit disrespectful to your partner in my opinion.

dizmuhjam · Answer

Cause its funny. You just have to realize that there aren't bad intentions by doing that. Of course women have to fart too and of course it smells as bad. Guys are aware of that, and in normal cases you won't be less attractive to him in any case. Just laugh with us !

CT_CD · Answer

Because girls shouldn't do that. Farting is traditionally associated with men. It's a manly thing to do. It's not feminine or ladylike at all. It will ruin the illusion for us and they will start to seem them as another human and not a goddess worthy of our undying devotion.

Anonymous · Answer

I find farting to be rude when done on a date or in public more often than not. The same way I find burping while on a date or in public is rude more often than not. Obviously, sometimes you can't help but to fart or to burp, but have same manners when it happens. This goes for both men and women.

In order to fart you must have a prostate.  Seeing that women outside of hermaphrodites do not have a prostitutes, it stands to reason that they should not be able to far.

Kurodo · Answer

its amusing because you're so embarassed by it but everybody does it. most dudes dont really mind either if you have to let one go i mean dont do it on the first date or anything but when you get comfotable together then go ahead though being a "lady" about it isn't terrible either, more teasing for us.

blondfrog · Answer

That's because women can't biologically fart so it would be weird for them to do something they physically can't do. However they do queef which if blowing air out of their vagina.

You need to watch this...

LucianaBanana · Answer

I don't think I'm a typical girl in this respect.

I grew up in a house where farting was regarded as hilarious, and I've never really grown out of it. I will not fart amongst people I don't know well but when with my boyfriend or friends if I need to do one I'll stick my ass out and fart loud and proud ha ha.

Guys love it when girls fart! It’s precisely why I love farting, especially in front of guys. It always makes them laugh. The trick is to not feel humiliated. If you do it on accident, you’re embarrassed. If you do it on purpose, you’re a comedian! Hell, sometimes I fart on him or fart under the covers and throw them over his head. He still finds it funny even when I’m gassing him out... men are interesting lol

dolemite68 · Answer

i've never understood that either. Farting is a normal bodily function that everyone does, how is it unlady like at all? i like when a girl is comfortable farting a lot around me, she's just being funny. its fun when ur comfortable around each other and don't have to hold them in

chrisbigman · Answer

I don't know. But I read that those that hold in their farts are prone to health issues. So, for your health's sake, fart away!!! Granted, the farts may not smell good. But at least you'll be healthier. Either fart into a toilet (if possible) or fart outside and away from people.
