Do men have it easier?

[GH85Carrera]

i dated a chick long ago that was a 4'11" and about 85 lbs. She confided in me some of her legitimate fears about going out alone to safe places like a grocery store or the mall. To be in an average crowd and virtually be invisible was always an issue. She had a few instances of men that are 6'4" and a muscular 250 pounds just terrify her by picking her up like a child.

She hated my house because I had items put away in cabinets at eye level and she had to climb up on the counter to get to them.

I finally really "got it" when I was on an elevator with members of a basketball team and they were all 6'8 and up. Just all giant men.

^I had a girlfriend in college who was the same height. She didn't have those kinds of fears, but she was always having problems with people assuming she was way too young. One time Starbucks refused to serve her because they told her she wasn't old enough to drink coffee... I always had to hold back the laughter when she told that story.

Why do men die younger than women?
Because they've earned it.

why do women have their monthly visitor?
Because they deserve it.

I'm not going to get married again, I think I'll just find a woman that hates me, then buy her a house.

Stupidest thing I've ever heard. Does that employee card everyone to drink coffee? It's not a gd bar.

You haven't visited PARF, apparently.

Being born an attractive white female is like hitting the genetic lottery. Life in easy mode.

I've never changed a tire on full size cars.

I have changed tires on my RC cars, but those are removing old super glue and installing with new super glue.

I'm not sure I've met anyone that didn't live in the deep country that doesn't go to a tire place to change their tires off their wheels. The machinery to break and reseal the bead is just that convenient.

IMHO....traditionally, the biggest disadvantage women have had is not being the bread winners in the family.

Not being the one who "brings home the bacon" many times results in feelings of low self-esteem....which in turn lead to certain personality quirks.

Of course, more and more females are now working and many of them are indeed the bread winners.....but then again that presents more challenges when their partners are dead beats and they feel like they are at a disadvantage.

There are exceptions of course and this is just a theory....YMMV.....

That was the point of the video.

Lloyd goes into great detail about the pros and cons for both sexes.

If that's directed towards me...this is PPOT...

Surely you don't think I've read all the other posts or even watched the video

[sc_rufctr]

The video is worth 17 minutes of your life.

I can assure you it is not. I am already familiar with the advantages and disadvantages each gender inherently has.

Do men have it easier? That depends

Watch virtually any couple get ready to go to work in the morning. A guy gets up, *****, shower and shave, dress in the same blue suit, or khaki slacks and white shirt and gets on the way.

Most all women spend 30 minutes getting showered and putting on a face and would never think of wearing the same dress or outfit that she did the day before or week before. So different clothes, different shoes, different jewelry and so on.

From my experience, women tend to deeply analyze much of what goes on around them. I don't know if this is a mechanism that serves self-elightenment, or self-preservation, but it seems prevalent within the female species.

Men, on the other hand, tend to not really GAF what is happening, unless death is iminent.

I think men have it much, much easier.

From some of the YouTube videos I have seen, there is a bunch of men out there that still don't GAF in the face of danger.

Women carefully weigh their options for most situations, which is the reason they are late most of the time (with us waiting on them). Far too many men don't weigh their options at all (why our insurance rates are higher).

..

Bringing home the bacon originated as a reference to lower-income workers as bacon (pork bellies) was cheaper and less desirable than other cuts of meat on a hog. I know huh. Go figure.

In contrast, living high on the hog meant the opposite as shoulder or back cuts were more expensive indicating more wealth or income.

So bringing home the bacon would be a better term for women and living high on the hog would be better for men.
Now where were we?

BTW, where's the "it's not about the nail" video when you need it?
