    1. We earn more money on average and have better career opportunities.
    2. Society takes us seriously.
    3. We're taller so it's easier to see over crowds at public events.
    4. We can drink more.
    5. We are incapable of getting pregnant or giving birth
    6. Men (who look after themselves) will get better looking with age. Women will not. Sorry ladies but it's true.

    Feel free to add more reasons Why is better to be a man than a woman

    Speak for yourself.

    Although surely reason number 1 should be "I have a penis".

    Lol, first thing I thought of when I saw the thread too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,081 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    Our brains work on logic.

    Perfect example.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    Ooh, I've a good example.

    Ever hear a guy go "Well they don't actually look like that, that picture has clearly been photoshopped as much as possible, that's not what a real man looks like" regarding a picture of a male model/advertisement? I haven't, yet every single insecure woman will belt it out any time a few guys comment on a model being hot or something. Therefore, we're a lot more secure in ourselves in general. I'd hate to find myself getting jealous of such crap as easily as a woman does.

    Men are not frowned upon for not being all pink and fluffy and crying at the drop of a hat.

    Men can speak their mind without being called a bit.ch

    Men are not expected to like sex in the city

    We can have sex with as many woman as we can and be called a legand not a slut!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,942 ✭✭✭topper75


    Dunno guys.

    Can't women have sex anytime they want? (ok not necessarily always with WHO they want)

    Not so for 99% of men. Me being one of that 99% of course unfortunately.

    but maybe on the whole, all things considered - I did throw a 6 on the first role of life's dice in becoming a man. Peeing standing up in the great outdoors alone wins it.

    5)Your underwear is 10e for a three-pack.

    6)Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.

    7)Same work, more pay.

    8)Gray hair and wrinkles only add character.

    9)Wedding dress: 2,000e. Tuxedo rental: 75e.

    10)If another guy shows up at the party in the same outfit, you just might become lifelong friends.

    11)You are not expected to know the names of more than five colors.

    12)The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.

    13)Christmas shopping can be accomplished for 25 relatives, on December 24th, in 45 minutes.

    4)If someone forgets to invite you to something, he or she can still be your friend. (You call that a friend?)

    7)Same work, more pay.(im sure the spotty 18 year old working in mc donalds tgotally agrees with you)

    8)Gray hair and wrinkles only add character(and i suppose the incontinence and nose hair does too)

    11)You are not expected to know the names of more than five colors.(You just set your sex back 100 years)

    13)Christmas shopping can be accomplished for 25 relatives, on December 24th, in 45 minutes.(well arent ye thoughtful)

    15) Not afraid to piss in public(or get arrested for it)

    18) We dont get pregnant(so without women there would be no men!Yes thought so)

    21) Are able to take jokes without getting insulted(not when it comes to sports)

    This may be completely unrelated but I was just wondering how long a lactating woman could survive in the desert drinking her own milk? Along the lines of people drinking their own wee.

    Would it be handy to have a lactating woman during any lost in the desert scenarios?

    Ye, I was just coddin ya around the plaice.

    I wish it was confined to just the fas girl incident!

    Today I got an email forwarded to me from my GF who had it sent to her in work, every single other person who received it was female (judging by the email addresses). It was called "Maybe she's born with it...maybe it's photoshopped!!!" and it had a load of pictures of female celebrities, one shot of them in a photoshoot/advertisement and then beside it they put a picture of the same celeb female without makeup/looking worse for wear.

    I mean wtf? How pathetic is that? I would hope I never see guys partaking in such a miserable, jealous activity.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,081 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    In fairness, have you seen that Evolution of Beauty video on youtube?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,577 ✭✭✭StormWarrior


    Hmm you say you wouldn't slag someone off out of jealousy. But sounds to me like you men are slagging off us women because you're jealous that we can get sex 1000 times easier than you.

    Um, and then when you avail of that you're tarred as a slut and thereafter are only able to get a lower grade of man due to your reputation.

    It's safe to say that men have nothing to be jealous of women about.

    Lol, 6 months off to clean up a childs shíte, put up with it crying all day, have your nipples sucked raw, lose your normal sleep pattern and basically stress out the entire time, and you're trying to use that as an example of why it's better to be a woman?

    Lol! I'd rather be in work that putting up with that shíte.

    Someone can't get pregnant with our kid, and then force us to become parents against our wishes. If I was a man I would never have sex for this very reason.

    If you are a man whore, a "nice" girl won't want you anyway, so not much difference.

    If you're a man whore you generally don't give a shíte about their personality and only want something that'll look good on your arm.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,577 ✭✭✭StormWarrior


    I know plenty of women who also only want someone who looks good. And whatever the other arguments, women still win because no-one can force parenthood upon us.

    Men have clear heads in pressure situations whereas women are prone to bouts of irrationality.

    I fear for our future if Hillary Clinton gets the nod tbh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,577 ✭✭✭StormWarrior


    women can dress and act masculine or feminine. We don't have to worry about being beaten up or ridiculed if we act a certain way as much as blokes do.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 6,376 Mod ✭✭✭✭Macha


    I love the way AH's reaction to a thread on feminism is to have a thread about why men are better than women. Can you say 'insecure'?

    Lol, you can't "force" parenthood on a man. Some try and end up single mothers going "boo hoo poor me etc".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,577 ✭✭✭StormWarrior


    There's a chance you'll be made to pay child support or something, and there's still a kid of yours out there that you didn't want.

    Not if you leave the country you won't. Best way to avoid any run ins with the little accident also.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,577 ✭✭✭StormWarrior


    Well if you were a woman it's something you'd never need to worry about in the first place. Also, in general, women don't smell as bad as men. We can also make ourselves look better with makeup and other tricks.

    Debatable. As someone else pointed out before, a womans private parts get smelly a lot quicker than mens. And that's what counts.
    We can also make ourselves look better with makeup and other tricks.

    Exactly. Without makeup, you wouldn't get men, or at least not the same grade of man and then they'll be gone in the morning when they see what you actually look like ;):p A man can do himself up well and still be the same person you wake up with, which isn't the case for a lot of women.
