    I think next time round I would like to be a guy just to see how the other half lives.. To have a less complicated emotional structure and not to have periods to dread :)

    male

    would be very upset if i came back as a girl


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 994 ✭✭✭mental07


    I think being a man would be less complicated!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    I said male, but in my next life I wouldn't remember beign a girl, so if asked then I'd probably say female.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28 **magnolia**

    You have a lot to learn....not having periods is great though.
    Women are different and interesting. They're shaped different. They smell different. They think and laugh and sex different. They're awesome, but I don't think I'd want to be one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,032 ✭✭✭She Devil


    I'd hate to be a smelly boy!

    Women hold the power these days so i am saying Female! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,375 ✭✭✭fonpokno


    I think I'd be a guy.

    I'm sure it's much more fun that the crampy weepy months and childbirth and all that. Plus I'd never have to put on make up again. Shopping would also be so much simpler.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    I wouldent mind coming back as a womon but no half measures like transvestities .I want to be the full measure of womonhood in all it's glory .But i suppose that depends also on ones definition of the perfect womon ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,496 ✭✭✭Mr. Presentable


    Yes. Yes I would come back as a man or a woman. Thank you.

    male. im close enough to it in interests etc now. yes, i would like that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,201 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    Definitely as a woman.

    I've had enough of being a man.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,351 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    If there's one thing modding this forum has taught me, if I ever come back I would definitely want it to be as a man. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,212 ✭✭✭✭Tom Dunne


    As I have an affinity for breasts, it would have to be a woman.

    No contest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,816 ✭✭✭Acacia


    Woman, for sure. I just couldn't imagine being a guy.

    You could just be a fat man. best of both worlds.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Man. Then I could appreciate boobs without being the weird one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    I think us guys who want to come back as women want to know what womon are really thinking .

    Dont we ?

    I think it would be interesting to be a woman, but I'm not so sure it'd so much fun as to give an entire life to it. Being a guy is fairly great, tbh, I would hate to be an unattractive woman, it must feel society like is actually out to make one feel worse about themselves.

    By the same token didnt society at one time make anybody of any pursusaion (bar hetrosexual /female ) feel unattractive regardless of looks ? But i take your point .I suppose the thing with supposedly unatractive women is that as long as they are comfortable whitin themselfs as a person, then that's what's important .

    I dunno, I've never been an unattractive woman.... (afaik, iirc)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,405 ✭✭✭NewFrockTuesday


    Woman every time. No doubt. And hopefully Iwould have learned to be comfortablewith myself. That would make it easier the next time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    Woman definately. I love female clothes too much and I love men too much! I think I'd be a terrible gayman.


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,425 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    I already think like a man, a lot of the time. Working with men in a male oriented environment. But I get to be girlie too. Best of both, really.

    And I dont really care what I come back as, as long as I dont come back with any more hangups than I started out with this time. Its all life. Its all good. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,613 ✭✭✭✭Clare Bear


    A guy I guess. They seem to have it easier. Then again women are bitches so I wouldn't like to be a guy on the dating scene!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 229 ✭✭Katniss everMean


    I had to think about this for a minute. I like both man and female so either way I'm sorted. Men seem to have it easier, but I don't really think they do, there the ones expected to make the first move and be gentlemen like. They can't figure us out at all and seem to get very confused when we get upset. Its so freaking obvious why we are yet they still fail.. I want to be a women cause I think to be male would be to confusing. I love getting the ball gowns and dressing up, yes it takes us more time, but hey he has to try and figure out how to get the dress onto the floor ;)

    boobs > male


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,930 ✭✭✭✭challengemaster


    Man. Then I could appreciate boobs without being the weird one.

    rofl :D

    I think if I came back as a woman i'd just play with myself. Like, all the time.

    Fairly happy being a guy though.. Only one problem with all of this. If all you wimmin end up as guys, and all the guys stay guys... we're gonna have one big problem :pac::eek:

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 66 ✭✭Danimalito


    Would defo depend on how physically attractive i'd turn out, as picking order is more or less:

    attractive woman > attractive man > not-so-attractive man > not-so-attractive woman

    i may be a smidgeon biased though, as i've got this weird fetish for good looking, intelligent, charming and over-sexed women


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 842 ✭✭✭Weidii


    Meh, woman, I know periods are bad, but I like having boobs. (though I may not be saying that 40 years down the line when they're touching my knees)

    Probably a dude.
    To find out what the fuss is all about regarding boobs.


    I would wear a suit every day.....

    And I'd join a rugby team.
    Just to look at the other men and whip them with the towel á la generic high school movies.


    Fun times!
    :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    I'd love to see how all the men who want to be women for the tits react when they realise that all other men see that they have tits too :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,676 ✭✭✭genericgoon


    As a man of course. Couldn't be arsed learning how everything works all over again. And think of the headstart you'd get as well.

    I wouldn't be interested in being a man.

    I like being a woman, I like that I'm feminine, and I think periods and childbirth are all part and parcel of the experience. A small price to pay for the privilege of being a woman.

    Well... you don't have to be a man to not obsess over clothing and wear makeup.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 229 ✭✭Katniss everMean


    If periods annoy you just get rid of them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,509 ✭✭✭✭randylonghorn

    So what would be different then? :confused: :pac:

    On topic, think I'd prefer to come back as a man ... but if I could be a woman and keep a man's outlook on life (and esp. on the womanly bits) that might be fun, as the Rickmeister pointed out! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,930 ✭✭✭✭challengemaster

    good point... :pac: :o

    Yes periods, pregnancy and child birth are a pain in the hole never mind the socail inequalities but boob and multiple orgasms FTW.

    And to think Adam chose being able to piss standing up instead! >.<

    Male. there's so much nice clothes for guys. yeah thats about it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Reku


    I'd rather not come back at all if I've a say in the matter, and since I wouldn't remember this life or the opportunity of making the choice it's all a bit moot anyway, but I guess I'd come back female since I've done the male thing and so would learn more from a stint as a female than another as a male.

    lol, I wonder how often that actually comes up as an issue for gay couples.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    Man, by far.

    -Not-so-attractive men have chances with decent-looking women. An ugly bird wouldn't stand a chance with a hot guy.
    -Men don't have to deal with periods or childbirth.
    -Men aren't nearly as catty as women, nor do they tend to hold stupid grudges-- with men, it seems as though you can have a quick fight and it'll never be thought of again, whereas with women we build it up and unleash it at random intervals six months later.
    -Men are easier to take seriously; if a woman tries to make a point, or gets angry about something, it's just PMS.
    -Men don't get judged for sleeping around.
    -Even masturbation is easier. It's all right there!

    There's loads more. There's no point in continuing. Men have it easier, hands down.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,878 ✭✭✭Rozabeez


    I'd probably be a woman again. Boobs!


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,217 Mod ✭✭✭✭Wibbs


    Have to agree with liah. I would come back as a bloke again. The childbirth/period stuff would be a pain, but the biggies would be the double standard in many facets of life that women face all the time. IMHO it's one of the reasons so many women come off as low level paranoid to many men. The other reason for that would be the friends thing. Women are far more socially competitive and disloyal with each other. That has been my consistent experience over the years. My female mates have noted that with me or their other male friends. It's easier and feels more consistent and safe than with their female friends. Of course this is a generalisation and women mates can be far more empathic, but all too often there is subtle point scoring at work.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,165 ✭✭✭✭brianthebard


    I've decided I want to come back as a woman. Boobs, clits, multi orgasms, and you can let the guys chat you up, instead of having to go on the pull yourself. I think I'd be a pretty girl....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Lol, do the guys on this thread not realise that multiple orgasms don't come as standard? It's not written in the specs like boobs and vadge.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,165 ✭✭✭✭brianthebard


    Yeah I know, but that doesn't mean we can't learn. Same with squirting.
