8 Things I Enjoy Being A Guy And I feel Lucky I Was Born A Guy. And 3 Things I Dislike.

[Anonymous]

I know for some people it's a coin-toss, but personally I feel really lucky I was born a guy and not a girl. I honestly believe if I was born a girl I would go underneath a surgery. But luckily now I don't have to.

1) No Periods.

It's obvious I think. Sounds very painful.

2) Men Age Like Wine and Women Age Like Milk.

I know it may sound sexist, but I'd say it's a fact. When a guy is 50 he might still look attractive to the opposite sex, unlike a woman who is 50. She has to put more effort.

3) Less Chances To Get Raped.

It's pretty rare for a guy to be raped by another guy. If he was raped by a woman I believe chances are he'd enjoy it, so it'd not be rape at all. Girls tend to get raped more often.

4) You Can Enter In A Chatroom, Without Getting Annoying Messages.

I have done this experiment. I entered a few times in a chatroom by using a female name, and after 1 minute I was in, I had at least 3 messages from guys. Girls here would know how does it feel since they get messaged way too frequently by various guys.

5) You Don't Get Catcalled Or Being Hit On, When You Are Out.

Well, sometimes I might complain about it since I wish I would be hit on by a girl...but sometimes, someone might not be in the mood to get hit on.

6) You Don't Get Pregnant.

Personally I don't want kids. But even if I wanted, it wouldn't be so painful as it is for women. Sounds really painful to give birth.

7) It Would Not Look So Weird To Go To A Bar Alone.

Maybe it might look, if you are 25 or below...but for guys 25 or above it's OK to go out alone. A woman probably would look weird.

8. Masturbation Sessions Are More Pleasureable And It's Easier To Get Off.

I've seen some videos when women try to masturbate, and it seemed to be tough as nails to get off.

---

Now about 3 things I dislike:

1) Facial And Body Hair.

I can't stand them both. I have to shave my face daily, and I have to shave my body hair every week.

2) Men Have More Chances To Die From An Illness.

It might not be always true, but unfortunately statistics have shown, deaths from men are more frequent.

3) Men Are Oblied To Drive.

I don't understand why. There are some men who don't like driving, and there are others who can't drive for various reasons, like myself.

[Debbiexoxo]

Who says a man will enjoy getting raped, men are just less likely to report of society thinking men cannot be raped and dumbass people like you, and please i have seen beautiful 50 years old plus #blackdon'tcrack

[aliceinwonderland69]

After all the misogyny of the Internet it's nice to find a guy with some empathy.

[myTake Owner]

Explain?

[aliceinwonderland69]

It's a compliment. Lots of guys act like being a woman would be so much easier but you've taken the time to consider things from our perspective.

[myTake Owner]

Aha. Thanks then.

[John_Doesnt]

You forgot how awesome it is to pee standing up. I could never give that up.

[YourFutureEx]

"Men Age Like Wine and Women Age Like Milk"
LOL

[myTake Owner]

Is it a lie?

[Byakuyarko]

I am pretty torn about how I feel about being a guy...
things I like:
1. No tits. While I absolutely love women with large busts, I can't help but think that it must be really bloody uncomfortable in the summers.
2. Having a low pitch voice. call me prejudiced, I like voices with a lower pitch.
3. Folks leave men alone when they're in an evil mood. Women in general have to deal with people who think that they can't handle their problems alone. That must be infuriating.
4. Less pressure to conform to herd mentality.
Things I detest:
1. Nut-shots. Women are truly blessed not to have their gonads dangling out of their bodies. Full stop. I've been smashed in the crotch enough times to truly appreciate how simple it is to disable a male for a short time.
2. Having no proper emotion other than rage. This is probably not true for all blokes.
3. Unpredictable hard-ons. My little johnny ('little'= just a diminutive. I refuse to consider 18 cms hard as too small to get the job done) has gotten me in trouble while dissecting a frog at school, during my great-aunt's funeral, and even while breaking up with a girl I used to date.

i go places alone all the time. i didn't realize it looks weird. don't care. cultural.

men dont age well as a rule.. depends on the person regardless of sex.

rape is not sex its control and it involves anything that causes humiliation and pain. a woman can butt rate a guy with broken glass and leave him for dead, just as a man could a woman. weapons level the playing field for size discrepancies. plus a lot of high women out there. anyhow most rape is done by men. its likely if a guy got raped its be by a guy. male suicides in prison are largely due to rape.

some have full body orgasms and masturbation orgasm, is usually superior to sex, bc men dont' get womens body as she does. I don't know who told you orgasming is better for men. simpler perhaps but not better.

hair is gross but women shave their body daily. men should too. this is cultural not inherent.

i won't be getting pregnant either.

you don't have to drive. cultural.

i dont mind messages. its just a message,. you dont have rot look. or respond.

[CHANDANDHWHDW]

Do you actually know anything here is true, you are saying "its all better for women" when you dont know how it is for men do you, also rape is control but also sex like if it was just control wouldn't they take them as prisoner like come on thats just bs, also most men couldnt be raped by women as your average man is taller stronger and better at fighting and because grappling is mostly weight they would easily beat a would be rapist unless they were super jacked and the man was below average

[Spiorad_Aisce]

Some make a lot of sense while I am not sure of a few.
(1) From anecdotal evidence, I would probably agree
(2) I feel that has more to do with luck and genes rather than gender
(3) Statistically you are right but it just doesn't seem right to say it in black and white. I would just say all sexual assault/rapes are wrong and indefensible. It seems wrong to quantify the probability into groups.
(4) + (5) Totally agree
(6) There are some who enjoy being or look forward to being pregnant
(7) Agree with this but that is more a society bias rather than a gender decision, it is probably connected to (4) and (5)
(8) I am inclined to say depends on the individual and their sexual nature
(9) Agree to a large degree
(10) Stats bear it out so would have to agree
(11) It is changing, women are doing a lot more of the driving

[beautifulangel76]

1. Women get facial age too
2. Not being racist but white people age differently than black people, Hispanics, Asians, and so on. They age quicker. It doesn't really have anything to do with whether you are male or female.
3. Just like women don't always say something men also are going to be quick so say that they have been raped. Who knows maybe the statistics are the same for both genders, maybe more men are raped, or maybe more women are raped. We would never know because not everyone stands up and says something.
4. No one says you have to drive.
5. And yes men are more likely to die from certain diseases but they are also more likely to rape, kill, steal, and are more impulsive than women. Men also have higher insurance costs and you can get longer jail time.

[myTake Owner]

1) Mhm.
2) Really? I've seen many whites who look younger...
3) Hmph.
4) Yeah but many chicks want the guy to drive.
5) Hmph.

[beautifulangel76]

About the aging thing it's not always true for everyone. It's really up to DNA and how you take care of your skin.

[hellionthesage]

Actually womens skin ages faster then mens. They begin loosing collagen (the substance that keeps the skin taught and firm) at a rate of 2% a year after the age of thirty, men lose it at a rate of 1% a year (plus they have a bout 25% more of it). Rape actually does occure at almost the same rates: : https://time.com/3393442/cdc-rape-numbers/
Men pretty much always have to drive, if he doesn't eventually she will say something sorry but its true. Men are actually no more likely to rape then women, they are more violent towards other men however women are more violent towards men and children: www.saveservices.org/.../
and men are actually as impulsive as women its just that men are more risk taking, women are more risk avoidence (Impulsive: acting or done without forethought.) Men do get higher insurance and prison time as well.

[Socialrealist]

@hellionthesage "white people age differently... age quicker"

lol you're just jealous because you'll never be as beautiful as a white girl. White girls make non-whites look like shit, which explains why non-whites would throw all kinds of exaggerated and desperate bullshit (like they age quicker, botox). y'all just jealous you don't have natural beautiful skin, hair, and eye color that makes men all over the world prefer white women. Sorry.

[hellionthesage]

@Socialrealist?

[xxcchhllaauu]

I see no benifits being a guy you have more to worry about

[Kirah]

List item #3 is absolutely awful. Ideas like that are the reason male rape victims are not being taken seriously. "Oh he's a guy, so he must have liked it!" How would you feel if this happened to you?

Rape is more common than you think, male victims included.

[myTake Owner]

If a chick raped me and most of all I liked her? It would be awesome.

If she was ugly, then I'd not enjoy it much... but it'd not affect me at all. I'm 24 not 12.

[Oberon960]

Liking it or not is independent of it being rape. If someone were to forcibly tie you down and rape you it would be rape whether you enjoyed it or not. Men are raped way more often than statistics tell and by definition men weren't capable of being raped until about 10 years ago (defined as unwanted vaginal penetration). Rape is rape and it is reasons like this why it goes unreported, no one takes it seriously when it is.

[godfatherfan]

Actually male rape is very high. not as high as woman but way up there. Unfortunately, it is not taken seriously. Just because guys love sex people figured we would love it. So @kirah is pretty full of shit for that comment.

[hellionthesage]

@godfatherfan Its actually only a ten percent diffrence in occurence but that also doesn't acknowledge that society doesn't recognize it and therefore it is far more likely to be unreported and ignored.

[godfatherfan]

@hellionthesage which is exactly what I am saying.

[hellionthesage]

@godfatherfan I was merely clarifying that while the number may not be as a high as womens that their are certain outside factors which would have a high probability of pushing those numbers down. It wasn'ta criticism/argument more like an addendum.

[Jager66]

3) Men are actually raped by women at nearly the same rate as women raped by men, except that men are 10 times less likely to report being raped than a woman, we just don't hear about it because that fact doesn't support the Feminist narrative.

4) this may be true specifically about chat rooms but I've never seen the data. However man face more online harassment than women do.

6) Men don't get pregnant but they lose a significant amount of their human rights as soon as a woman is pregnant...

[the_rake]

# 7 is not really true. even above 25 I think it takes a lot of confidence to go to a bar by yourself and not standout. that said, it's true that once you have roughly hit somewhere near the 25 zone, your confidence will have improved quite a bit. I think this goes for both genders though. if I see some old person (man or woman) by themselves at a bar I think they must be very lonely and take pity on them, unless they seem to be enjoying themselves (e. g. talking to bar staff).

[PiscesEyes]

Fun take.

I'll just nitpick a little.
3. It could be insulting to a man to say a man would enjoy being raped by a woman. Keep in mind women can do pretty treacherous things too.

4. (So true).

5. Being "hit on" might br a mood thing. But being "cat called" is never ok. Cat calling is threating, period.

7. So true. :(

Lastly as a women I shave my body hair at least 3 times a week. Men are expected to be hairy. Women aren't.

[PiscesEyes]

One reason Im happy I wasn't born a man...
Learning to control boners
I suppose I can give you the expectation making the first move as well.
... and expecting to pay on dates.

[889889]

Lol boners are the best thing

[IceEverest]

THIS SENTENCE OF YOURS IS SEXIST AS FUCK... that "If he was raped by a woman I believe chances are he'd enjoy it, so it'd not be rape at all. Girls tend to get raped more often."

MERELY ORGASMING IS NOT EQUAL TO ENJOYING. ( in both cases of male or female rape)
Except periods or pregnany. Even women can have those advantages.
The disadvantages you wrote is okay but dont forget that women are expected to be smooth more than men.

[DarkIndividual]

You know what this post lacks? Logic and fact-based evidence. Where's the proof of any of this? It is just your opinion, and not a single person in the world can speak for the entire population. Everyone is different in some way.

[myTake Owner]

So what was wrong in my title anyway? Can you please tell me?

[DarkIndividual]

Just ignore what I said. I ignored the fact that this is your opinion.

[kahokohino]

a lot of girls have to shave everyday too sadly. at least if guys dont shave people won't mind as much as if a girl doesn't. hairy men is consider sexy by some people, but never hairy girls.

[Anonymous]

2. In addition, women lose all their fertility past menopause, while men seem to be able fertilize at any age.

3. I don't know about this. Men report less rape than women do. Do they really get raped less often?

[LiveFreeorDieHard]

yes of coarse. don't question it, just beleive.

[ManOnFire]

I see these things as neither pros or cons to being a man. It is what it is. The bar thing #7 is really just kind of senseless to me though.

[skeptic007]

okay number 3 is completely false many female rapist and the guys or little boys didn't want it

[Anonymous]

number 5 i actually hate, me personally for as long as i can remember, i've always hated, detested the gender role that guys are expected to approach and make the first move, be the initiators

[Anonymous]

#5 is wrong

Gay guys cat call me all the time. Which is worse.

[myTake Owner]

Really? Never happened to me...

[Opinion Owner]

yeah pretty weird

[Anonymous]

Dislike: I'm expected to be well endowed, and I'm the complete opposite. #ForeverAlone

[xxcchhllaauu]

yeah and girls will lump you in with other guys like he that size soo all guy are that size sucks and having to be the leader but not act like you care and dating combined with that she might think ur small and leave afterwards or leave at the start is dishartning and the cons outweigh the good

[Anonymous]

3) Less chances to get raped -- EXCEPT!
More chances of being the victim of violent crime in general!

[Zorax]

I agree, mostly, good Take by the way.

[Tdieseler]

omg... i am dying laughing...
