Why do so many guys belch?

[ret04]

I find it irritating and obnoxious. Most males that I know vocalize their burping and it's so stupid. I think many of them get into a habit of doing it without even thinking.

I guess I could ask, in general why are guys so nasty about their bodily functions. It's like a part of them that stays 8 years old forever.

I remember growing up my parents taught me that being gross was bad only around company, but not around family. I wonder if that was a subliminal gender thing? That it was okay because of being male?

Either way, I realize now it's stupid and obnoxious and point being, I do not belch period. There is no point in exaggerating a burp so disgustingly.

I agree with you. How some people justify being polite to society and rude to their family? This is a bit shizophrenic. Why people believe that they can behave however they want to their family or to their long-time relationship? People who look awsome when going out, walk around the home with old dirty pijamas and messy hair. Belching (and other) without apologising. Eating like an animal. Shouting and swearing. Never apologising because 'it's their home, they can do whatever they want'. They then put on a nice facade and go out... I believe that People should be polite and mannered both to family and to society. Family is consisted of our loved ones and we should respect them. Society matters as well, because we live in it.

Guys just do stupid stuff its apart of being a guy I guess. Is it rude? Yes. Is it annoying? Not really.. I mean it can get annoying but i really dont care as long as they're not belching in my face or doing it when business is being conducted on in public I find it quite funny sometimes as a joke. When we're just playing or around family. friends its okay. But in restaurants i think toning it down would be better because you dont wanna be gross about it. Outside of those situations its funny imo.. Hope i helped..

I think belching is really gross too. My boyfriend does it and he says its because it feels better. Didn't think burping could feel bad at all or feel good I just thought it was burping.

For the same reason we burp babies, sometimes it just has to be done.
I agree it doesn't have to be exaggerated for comedic effect.

In my experience, it’s more of a girl thing. I definitely vocalize my belches and I’m not shy about farting when I feel one coming. It hurts if I hold it in and it feels good if I let it out, plus people find it funny and I like the smell of my own brand. I’ve met a lot of girls who take pride in their gas but I’ve yet to meet a guy like that.
