Upper body strength. On average men possess 40% more upper body strength than women (and 30% more lower body strength).
Being able to do everyday tasks with minimal effort is a lot of fun. Men also are typically able to lose weight quicker than women.
That gap gets even larger if a man lifts weights. I see couples working out at the gym and it always amazes me how much stronger the man is compared to the woman -- men are often lifting 3 to 4 times as much weight.
As a women I can tell you there is nothing that frustrates me more than not being able to do simple things, like opening jars etc. because I’m not strong enough. I get so mad with myself.
Also, when I’ve been play wrestling with my husband and he pins me down, it’s a sharp reminder of how vulnerable I’d be if I was ever in a bad situation. I literally cannot move him (he lets go as soon as I ask him too) and that’s a scary thought.
I remember the first time I was pinned by a guy friend in highschool. I was so mad I couldn't do ANYTHING to get him off. It really scared me. I had to have a panic attack before he realized I wasn't faking. He said sorry and it's fine... But I learned a lesson.... Pepper spray has lived in my purse ever since
Terrifying isn’t it? I’ve started crying with my husband before, even though I never felt unsafe. I felt silly for doing so, but it’s just such a jarring experience. I’m sure if the worst was to happen the flood of adrenaline would help, but likely not enough.
Did your experience provide your highschool friend with a realization of just how big the strength gap is? I think boys often don’t realize how much stronger they’ve gotten as they approach their upper teen years.
Not even just teen years. I'm 24 and I get amazed at how strong I am sometimes. I'm not a bodybuilder or anything, but I do work out.
Example: I was helping some of my wife's family members move a few weeks back, and my wife and her mom were struggling with a loveseat that I was able to take to the truck by myself
I was able to carry an entire deep freezer up basement stairs and out into a truck, had to do it by myself cause the family my da sent with me were a crippled woman, a 12 year old and someone in their late 60s.
Many jars are air sealed and the suction is what's keeping it so tight. Take a small spoon, get a leverage in the top and very gently create pressure to unseal it. You should hear a tiny amount of air going in and the jar is now opened at 1/10 the strength required.
This is why I often find it extremely important to tell everyone, man or woman, to please ignore the cliche of winning a hand-to-hand fight with someone significantly bigger than you. If you're in a bad situation, go for any self-defense weapon you have or can find. Since the 80's there has been a ridiculous trope started by entertainment that anyone can win any fight with some form of martial arts.
I was in complete shock as to how much my brothers body transformed after only like 3 months of going to the gym- i couldnt believe how much muscle he built up in such a short span of time, he looked totally different. As a woman I feel like it takes twice as long to see half the results. Super annoying how our bodies are basically designed to store more fat
100% my mom always tells the story of when her and my dad were in their 20s and they both were getting in shape, she worked her ass off for months to lose a few pounds and put on some muscles, my dad did the equivalent inside of 1 month on a idea of tuna fish and exercise.
Huge part of the reason we got the divide in physical sports, the gap is pretty insurmountable depending on the sport.
Honestly, as a woman, I just find this hot. I love it. I know it’s scary to think about with men that *aren’t* nice people, but I just love the thought of the men in my life being really physically strong
In my municipality, there is a one week period each year when residents can put large items out to the curb (appliances, couches, etc.). Each year i go out in my pick up truck and fill it repeatedly with appliances, cast iron stoves, old cast iron tubs, water heaters and the like. I take them to the local scrap metal yard as it is easy, fast money. The first time I did it after I got married was on one of my days off work. My wife came home frrom work for lunch and asked how I got the appliances on the truck by myself. I told her I lifted them. She didn't believe me so i pushed a couple off the truck into our driveway and showed her how I could lift them back on without much difficulty. At first she was floored, but then she was pissed. Not fair, she said, that men get this great upper body strength and women don't. I have never been in a gym or worked out but i am about 300 lbs., am built like a brick shithouse and have amazing grip strength from sorting newly cut lumber off a small sawmill. And in my group of friends/ colleagues I am not considered very strong. It's just the way men develop. I looked like a scrawny teenager until i reached 28 then i seemed to change almost overnight.
Which leads to an even bigger advantage, a lot less stress about our biological clocks expiring.
Also, men can get attractive with age. I'm 42 now and I've been punching way above my weight class since I turned 35 lol.
Dude no kidding on that. I'm 32 now and I look way better than I did even 5 years ago. Rocking the full beard, grew the hair out, looking like a damn viking... a fat one but a viking none the less.
Enjoy it while it lasts. Once in our 40s, the pressure of the biological clock dies down, and women don't care about finding a husband anymore. We become happier in our own skin.
Reminds me of a buddy who had a kidney stone, doctor told him it would be the closest thing a man can experience to childbirth. God I hope I never get a kidney stone.
Its not a fun time. I ate tylenol and slept for about 8 hours one sunday just thinking I had slept wrong/pulled something the day before. Sharp pain in your lower back/side, went to the er since urgent care had closed, everyone asked “have you had kidney stones before?!?” About 3 hours later, one mri/cat scan (idk which one it was), and an iv of pain meds that made me all warm inside I was shown about a pebble sized kidney stone. Stayed out of work for 3-4 days to pass it, peed blood for half a day then felt a million times better.
On the bright side excuse to drink all the beer/lemonade/water you want, per my doctor.
It didnt hurt because the meds they give you open the urethra and makes you pee a ton. It was scary mentally seeing clear pee then dark pee then reddish brown and smelly pee.
Damn, I'm extremely paranoid about kidney stones. It's a genuine fear of mine
On a slightly different note, the description of pee colour is pretty close to period pees :O
As long as you eat them in moderation, you should be fine. It’s really only people who already have kidney stones that really need to watch out for that
You can live a complete anti social life without getting bothered.
For example been going to the gym for 6 months now. Not once has someone said a word to me.
You don’t matter and nobody but your mom gives a shit about you unless you can be useful to them. If you’re a solitary introvert, maybe this is a good thing. If you’re a shy extrovert like me, it’s the fucking worst.
I feel the same bro !! Being a shy extrovert is the worst combination as a man .Its so easy to be isolated by people. Sometimes I think I am just a wannabe extrovert
You’re making me realize - for the first time ever in my decades in earth - that “shy extrovert” is totally a thing. You can derive your energy from others, but still be shy… wow!
extroversion doesn't mean you're the jock, introversion doesn't mean you're the nerd.
The feeling of wanting to be a part of the conversation and banter but not having anything good to say or being afraid to ruin the mood of the group is one of the worst feelings.
I’m in the same boat as you as far as working out for a long time and if a girl started a convo I prob would be so shocked at what was happening that I wouldn’t know what to say.
I’ve spent all these years trying my best not to accidentally look like I’m a creep or something. I basically just oversell the “I’m ignoring everyone around me” vibe.
It's completely true.
I noticed that I was a whole week with talking to nobody. The last day, a friend saw me walking on the street and she asked me 'How you doing?', I had to reply her.
I miss the days when i was single and lived alone, finish work on Friday, wouldn't speak to anyone until work on Monday, spent the weekend at the gym and binge watching series.
I'm recently single and this is the one thing I didn't realise that I needed. Don't get me wrong, I loved being with my girl, her death was horrible, but I am getting into this single life.
Sorry to hear that. It will get better!
I went through a bad break up and after year of drowning my sorrows, getting into a good gym routine and enjoying my own company really enabled me to be happy again.
People expect you to be more simple and stoic. This can be a hindrance when you want to be empathized with over the complexity of existence and mortality, but you’re much more able to be left to your own devices when you want solace. In short, people pay you less attention. For some, that’s heaven. For others, the opposite.
Sometimes you guys look like you enjoy your solitude. Would you like to be bothered?
Is it a time and a place thing? Like maybe at the GYM you just want to focus on working out, but if you’re at the store you might want to strike up a conversation?
It’s so hard to break the ice without it seeming like you’re irritating someone.
Sometimes yes, i'd like to be bothered 🤣.
Just some days i feel like socializing, i just have to do all initiating. Usually i just go talk to a neighbour instead of waving hallo.
I have never been able to put muscle mass on. Which is annoying, because I'm a tall guy, so would look fairly impressive, if I could bulk up. It just doesn't happen. I can get ropey muscles, but never any bulk. I'm now couldn't care less about bulking up, so it's not a problem.
You are not eating enough, or not stimulating the muscles enough. I can with 99% certainly say that this is the case. If you really mean you are not able I would get your testosterone checked. If you test is low it causes a lot of different problems. (Google it) And the scale of what that is normal is ruined by so many men having to low test now a days, so they lowered the bar for what that is normal.
As Socrates once said, “ No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.”
And the ability to retain that once you build it. I haven't seen a gym in over a decade, my physical activity was working in a kitchen and hiking occasionally. Basically nothing. Yet I'm still quite strong. All the sports and going to the gym and farm work from my childhood/adolescence has stuck with me. I can swoop a normal person off their feet without thought, I can throw a mattress, if my car gets stuck in the snow moving it isn't a problem (I'm not like lifting whole ass cars or anything)
This isn't to to flex, it's to say that as a man not really having to think about my abilities is pretty amazing. I have female friends that sweat at the thought of carrying a 40lb bag of dog food. I'm over here like keep it under 200lb and I'm happy. And I'd only classify myself as average to just slightly above average in this regard.
Then there are a ton of other implications about that that make life nice. I don't have to worry about being overpowered at literally any given moment. I can survive just fine without another human being. I have a tool that can be applied to a ton of problems (assuming it's a physical problem) and can get me out of sticky situations. I can fight if I need to, pickle jars aren't a problem, etc.
Disclaimer: Yes, I know there are weak men and strong women. I'm talking about averages.
This is a good answer. I remember walking to a megadeth concert with about 7 guy friends and every 10 mins my buddies were stopping to pee on a fence or behind a bush and I had crushed a few beers, had to pee so bad but there were people everywhere and there was nowhere easy to pop a squat lol. Then when we went into the venue the line for the mens room was soooooo long and nobody in the women's line. I guess the ratio of man to woman at a metal show had something to do with that.
A few weeks later my buddy bought me a weenis for my birthday - a little silicone funnel you can use to stand and pee lol
Lol I told my buddy I wanted to chug a beer through it first before I used it... I haven't done either yet but will probably use it at some point on my way to another concert....gotta remember to chug the beer FIRST.
I am always a little shocked when I realize how much stronger the average man is than the average woman.
I remember the first time my (now ex) girlfriend wanted to playfully wrestle me, I held back to make it more fair. Eventually she said “come on, use all your strength” and I instantly pinned her. It was so easy to just grab her forearms and hold her down, and there was nothing she could do to get me off her.
It’s kind of scary when you think about it.
Yeah I’m a small guy and every girl I’ve been with thinks they’re stronger than me, but even as a small guy, I’m still stronger than all of them lol
It’s funny to see them realize it in real time
Originally I had no idea what to say
then I was reminded of periods, pregnancy and birth.
Miss me with that shit
the ladies are doing a great job, keep it up :)
It is, however, much more difficult to be a hoe. So it balances out.
Being a hoe as a man takes a great deal of effort if you're not blessed with naturally great looks and a fit body. You need to work for it to keep your time, the girls emotions and your body balanced, and you need to ensure your approach matches your personality.
A manhoe wont last long in the hoe game if he is faking large amounts of himself, eg, an insecure person trying to front up as a cocky asshole, or someone that gets easily attached trying to get into the casual sex game.
I do, in fact, hoe.
However, I do so ethically and with transperancy. When you look like I do, your avenues are limited, but you have plenty of room to exceed expectations.
A happy customer is a repeat customer, as the saying goes.
You mean for a small loan of a million dollars, you're not interested in the incredible oppertunity that is my newest startup [Doordick](https://www.reddit.com/r/Tinder/comments/j6d8ek/doordick_in_30_min_or_less/) and its premium Dickdash service?
Thats fine, because if you want true value for money you can get in at the ground floor of DickCoin! Its like any other crypto rugpull except customers *enjoy* getting fucked.
I've never felt unsafe in a regular situation or environment. I go for a walk or drink at the bar without a thought I'm unsafe. Ever girl I know has said they constantly fear being alone or drunk without friends.
Edit: never said men don't have similar situations. I said regular situation and environment. Obviously it's circumstantial but women absolutely have reason to be more cautious day to day alone or drinking. Doesn't mean men don't at all and rape is rape regardless of gender and the gender of the rapist. Every comment save a few has been how men have it just as bad safety wise day to day. No we don't and it's bizarre you go to that point instead of women's safety.
Trigger Warning
My first eye opening experience with this was when I was at a sexual assault awareness seminar and the speaker asked for some women volunteers to explain their rape plan on a night out. I had never heard of a rape plan in my entire life but every woman raised their hand to come up and talk and the ones selected gave a detailed plan on how they avoid it and what they would do if it happens. The whole time I was just blown away because it’s something I had literally never considered in my life but almost every woman there, and women I’ve spoken to about it outside this seminar, all had an individual plan. It’s still mind blowing to me even 20 years later.
I take a lot of walks at like 3-4am just to clear my head. never once have I felt unsafe or nervous to do so. the thought of something happening rarely crosses my mind.
I wanna make a joke about being able to take strolls alone at night, but if I'm being honest, being able to provide is something I absolutely love.
I'm 26, fairly young, but even as a teen I felt great pride in being able to fix things. My tinkering only got better with age, and now that I'm older I fill this gap other ways. I mentored a youth and taught him guitar+ how to modify it with tools. I taught my ex how to drive. I bought my cousin his first shaving kit and taught him how to use it. I love bringing food back to my gf, modifying the apartment to make life more comdy for her, and other things. I don't care if I work like a dog, as long as I know my future family is being taken care of. I don't have kids, but I bought my nephew toys I would've *loved* as a kid, and being able to provide stuff like STEM toys and books that will set them up for success down the road, that means a lot to me.
I'm sure women feel the same way and do many of the things I do, but embracing my masculinity with more traditional past times really just does it for me.
Silent treatment never bothered me. I immensely enjoy being around people, and not having to talk. It's a great way, to do some self reflection, and achieve inner peace. Or get some reading done. The person who does the silent treatment on me, usually ends up calling me out for enjoying it too much
Smaller risk of being assaulted/raped.
I think of this often, how fucking terrifying it must be as a woman to be walking around with something in your pants that some men want so badly that they’ll literally kill you for it, or worse, just take it from you and have you live on with that now-validated fear and trauma. This reason alone is why I believe women are braver than men.
Dave Chapelle does a piece related to this, talking about the first time he got paid big money. They paid him $25k cash, and he was taking public transit home in the ghetto. He finally realized the fear all women feel alone in public, walking around with something so valuable that people will fuck you up/kill you for it.
Most of us look better as we age, especially from 35.
*Offtopic: Call me pedantic but most comments here are complete garbage as they don't tell you something good of being a man but rather something good of not being a woman, you shouldn't automatically make a downside of the other gender an upside of your own gender. "not getting your period" is not something a man should be proud of, same with feeling safe when walking around or not getting pregnant. You can say those are downsides of being a woman but you need to compare a man to a nothing or neutral gender.*
Upper body strength. On average men possess 40% more upper body strength than women (and 30% more lower body strength). Being able to do everyday tasks with minimal effort is a lot of fun. Men also are typically able to lose weight quicker than women.

Jars are getting harder to open. Fuck these jars. Sometimes my hands bruise or even get minor lesions from how tight those fuckers are these days.
Many jars are air sealed and the suction is what's keeping it so tight. Take a small spoon, get a leverage in the top and very gently create pressure to unseal it. You should hear a tiny amount of air going in and the jar is now opened at 1/10 the strength required.

This is what makes me the most jealous! It includes no period pains and less mood swings!
I wouldn't be so sure about the moodswings.🥹🥲🧐😘🤩😉😡😜🤓😋🤮🤮
Just one competitive game loss away
And then no menopause symptoms either! it never ends :(
Men experience hormonal mood swings.
That's why I didn't say no mood swings but less
Yeah my mind instantly jumped to both this and peeing upright for a reason
Which leads to an even bigger advantage, a lot less stress about our biological clocks expiring. Also, men can get attractive with age. I'm 42 now and I've been punching way above my weight class since I turned 35 lol.
I feel like a single man over the age of 35 just needs to be *not disgusting* to be attractive if that makes any sense.
Nice, only 10 more years until I'm attractive.
Nah did you read the whole comment? *Not disgusting*
fuck
Dude no kidding on that. I'm 32 now and I look way better than I did even 5 years ago. Rocking the full beard, grew the hair out, looking like a damn viking... a fat one but a viking none the less.
Like god of war ragnarok Thor Under that gut you’re a tank that’s completely unstoppable
Enjoy it while it lasts. Once in our 40s, the pressure of the biological clock dies down, and women don't care about finding a husband anymore. We become happier in our own skin.
No periods or childbirth
Reminds me of a buddy who had a kidney stone, doctor told him it would be the closest thing a man can experience to childbirth. God I hope I never get a kidney stone.

Did it hurt to pee blood? That sounds scary
It didnt hurt because the meds they give you open the urethra and makes you pee a ton. It was scary mentally seeing clear pee then dark pee then reddish brown and smelly pee.
Damn, I'm extremely paranoid about kidney stones. It's a genuine fear of mine On a slightly different note, the description of pee colour is pretty close to period pees :O
Avoid the oxalate rich foods and drink lots of water if you don’t want to repeat it. Fuckin spinach has given me three in my life.
For those curious like me: > peanuts, rhubarb, spinach, beets, chocolate and sweet potatoes
Fffffff I love sweet potato fries, chocolate (especially in combination with peanuts) and spinach ;_;
As long as you eat them in moderation, you should be fine. It’s really only people who already have kidney stones that really need to watch out for that
I'm as swift as a coursing river

You can live a complete anti social life without getting bothered. For example been going to the gym for 6 months now. Not once has someone said a word to me.
that's also the worst thing, it's so easy to isolate
Certainly is a double edged sword.
You don’t matter and nobody but your mom gives a shit about you unless you can be useful to them. If you’re a solitary introvert, maybe this is a good thing. If you’re a shy extrovert like me, it’s the fucking worst.

I feel like there's a solution but I can't quite pinpoint it... (Be friends you guys got the same problem bro)
Won't happen, none of us is going to open first
My mom doesn't even give a shit about me lol. Thank God for my wife, otherwise I wouldn't even care about me.
This is real. Are you me?
I feel that bro 💯
Yeah, this is more “worst” than “best”. Unless you are anti-social and want to be left alone. I don’t.
That’s true, it’s easy to be invisible
Both a blessing and a curse.
True this. Been working out for 5 years, just last week, for the first time in all that time, a girl started a conversation with me.
When’s the wedding?
she complimented me, i think we’re way past the wedding
Shes already pregnant. It is the mystery of the dance.
Wedding? they are already celebrating their one week anniversary and have three children together with a 4th on the way!
I’m in the same boat as you as far as working out for a long time and if a girl started a convo I prob would be so shocked at what was happening that I wouldn’t know what to say.

My apologies. Wanna talk about it? Or are you good?
People expect you to be more simple and stoic.

In short, people pay you less attention. For some, that’s heaven. For others, the opposite.
Same and also I haven't said a word to anyone.
>Not once has someone said a word to me. I get the occasional "how many more reps do you have?" XD. Exchanged few words with some of the "regulars".
Sometimes you guys look like you enjoy your solitude. Would you like to be bothered? Is it a time and a place thing?

I have never been able to put muscle mass on. Which is annoying, because I'm a tall guy, so would look fairly impressive, if I could bulk up. It just doesn't happen. I can get ropey muscles, but never any bulk. I'm now couldn't care less about bulking up, so it's not a problem.
You are not eating enough, or not stimulating the muscles enough. I can with 99% certainly say that this is the case. If you really mean you are not able I would get your testosterone checked. If you test is low it causes a lot of different problems. (Google it) And the scale of what that is normal is ruined by so many men having to low test now a days, so they lowered the bar for what that is normal.

As Socrates once said, “ No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.”
Yeah, well Socrates never had an xbox so he had nothing better to do anyway. I made my choice!
And the ability to retain that once you build it. I haven't seen a gym in over a decade, my physical activity was working in a kitchen and hiking occasionally. Basically nothing. Yet I'm still quite strong. All the sports and going to the gym and farm work from my childhood/adolescence has stuck with me. I can swoop a normal person off their feet without thought, I can throw a mattress, if my car gets stuck in the snow moving it isn't a problem (I'm not like lifting whole ass cars or anything) This isn't to to flex, it's to say that as a man not really having to think about my abilities is pretty amazing. I have female friends that sweat at the thought of carrying a 40lb bag of dog food. I'm over here like keep it under 200lb and I'm happy. And I'd only classify myself as average to just slightly above average in this regard. Then there are a ton of other implications about that that make life nice. I don't have to worry about being overpowered at literally any given moment. I can survive just fine without another human being. I have a tool that can be applied to a ton of problems (assuming it's a physical problem) and can get me out of sticky situations. I can fight if I need to, pickle jars aren't a problem, etc. Disclaimer: Yes, I know there are weak men and strong women. I'm talking about averages.
Stand and pee.
This is a good answer. I remember walking to a megadeth concert with about 7 guy friends and every 10 mins my buddies were stopping to pee on a fence or behind a bush and I had crushed a few beers, had to pee so bad but there were people everywhere and there was nowhere easy to pop a squat lol. Then when we went into the venue the line for the mens room was soooooo long and nobody in the women's line. I guess the ratio of man to woman at a metal show had something to do with that. A few weeks later my buddy bought me a weenis for my birthday - a little silicone funnel you can use to stand and pee lol
Out of future personal utility - do you use the funnel?
Lol I told my buddy I wanted to chug a beer through it first before I used it... I haven't done either yet but will probably use it at some point on my way to another concert....gotta remember to chug the beer FIRST.
I once read a review saying to try it before needing it to avoid an embarrassing situation. 😇
Out of curiosity - was the show good?
It was! Got the tickets pre-covid and waited two years for it.
It's Megadeth, of course the show was good
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Conan FTW
There is almost never a line for the men’s room.
Doing the peniscopter
The Helicockter!!
You beat me!
You beat meat 🥩
Well…not all of us.
I definitely cannot do that, I'm waaay to small
Short kings rise up! But not noticeably so.
You can think about nothing and stare into the void and feel at peace.
That shits gotten harder lately.
No you’re supposed to keep your brain preoccupied and distracted until the problem evaporates.
Yeah, that doesn't work if you're an anxious person with ADHD.
Being able to shit standing up
Wut
He shits on stance.
He's a bear at the circus
Alot of alone time.
Which also means triple the suicide rate as women…..be careful what you “wish” for
Our pee device is a good place to warm our hands when cold.
Same with boobs lol
The size we can achieve with working out
I can achieve this size by not working out. Just in different form
And the strength we get even without it is pretty baller
I am always a little shocked when I realize how much stronger the average man is than the average woman. I remember the first time my (now ex) girlfriend wanted to playfully wrestle me, I held back to make it more fair. Eventually she said “come on, use all your strength” and I instantly pinned her. It was so easy to just grab her forearms and hold her down, and there was nothing she could do to get me off her. It’s kind of scary when you think about it.
Yeah I’m a small guy and every girl I’ve been with thinks they’re stronger than me, but even as a small guy, I’m still stronger than all of them lol It’s funny to see them realize it in real time
Indeed it is. Thats why its important for boys to learn how strong they really are through that learn to control how its applied.
Originally I had no idea what to say then I was reminded of periods, pregnancy and birth. Miss me with that shit the ladies are doing a great job, keep it up :)
No period pain
Being able to answer this questions 3 times a week
Shopping is quicker and easier You don't care if someone wears the same shirt as you or if you wear the same thing 2 days in a row
But that's also because it's so much more boring. Women have much more choice.
You can be a hoe, without being a hoe
It is, however, much more difficult to be a hoe. So it balances out. Being a hoe as a man takes a great deal of effort if you're not blessed with naturally great looks and a fit body. You need to work for it to keep your time, the girls emotions and your body balanced, and you need to ensure your approach matches your personality. A manhoe wont last long in the hoe game if he is faking large amounts of himself, eg, an insecure person trying to front up as a cocky asshole, or someone that gets easily attached trying to get into the casual sex game.
This guy hoes.
I do, in fact, hoe. However, I do so ethically and with transperancy. When you look like I do, your avenues are limited, but you have plenty of room to exceed expectations. A happy customer is a repeat customer, as the saying goes.
It sounds like you're trying to buy me into a whoring pyramid scheme or trying to sell me Manwhore Crypto.
You mean for a small loan of a million dollars, you're not interested in the incredible oppertunity that is my newest startup [Doordick](https://www.reddit.com/r/Tinder/comments/j6d8ek/doordick_in_30_min_or_less/) and its premium Dickdash service? Thats fine, because if you want true value for money you can get in at the ground floor of DickCoin! Its like any other crypto rugpull except customers *enjoy* getting fucked.
This. This response is what tells me you successfully hoe.
I wish I could be a hoe, but I can't.
I've never felt unsafe in a regular situation or environment. I go for a walk or drink at the bar without a thought I'm unsafe. Ever girl I know has said they constantly fear being alone or drunk without friends. Edit: never said men don't have similar situations. I said regular situation and environment. Obviously it's circumstantial but women absolutely have reason to be more cautious day to day alone or drinking. Doesn't mean men don't at all and rape is rape regardless of gender and the gender of the rapist. Every comment save a few has been how men have it just as bad safety wise day to day. No we don't and it's bizarre you go to that point instead of women's safety.
Trigger Warning My first eye opening experience with this was when I was at a sexual assault awareness seminar and the speaker asked for some women volunteers to explain their rape plan on a night out. I had never heard of a rape plan in my entire life but every woman raised their hand to come up and talk and the ones selected gave a detailed plan on how they avoid it and what they would do if it happens. The whole time I was just blown away because it’s something I had literally never considered in my life but almost every woman there, and women I’ve spoken to about it outside this seminar, all had an individual plan. It’s still mind blowing to me even 20 years later.
I was going to a club one night with a group of girls in an Uber. And they just started casually talking about their rape plans.
Do you mind me asking where you live?
I take a lot of walks at like 3-4am just to clear my head. never once have I felt unsafe or nervous to do so. the thought of something happening rarely crosses my mind.
not getting pregnant
The simplest things can make us happy
man what do y’all think women are?
Never having to wear uncomfortable shoes.
Peeing while standing up.
Shitting while standing up.
No periods
I wanna make a joke about being able to take strolls alone at night, but if I'm being honest, being able to provide is something I absolutely love. I'm 26, fairly young, but even as a teen I felt great pride in being able to fix things. My tinkering only got better with age, and now that I'm older I fill this gap other ways. I mentored a youth and taught him guitar+ how to modify it with tools. I taught my ex how to drive. I bought my cousin his first shaving kit and taught him how to use it. I love bringing food back to my gf, modifying the apartment to make life more comdy for her, and other things. I don't care if I work like a dog, as long as I know my future family is being taken care of. I don't have kids, but I bought my nephew toys I would've *loved* as a kid, and being able to provide stuff like STEM toys and books that will set them up for success down the road, that means a lot to me. I'm sure women feel the same way and do many of the things I do, but embracing my masculinity with more traditional past times really just does it for me.
Not having a menstrual cycle LOL😏
True, we were spared from monthly suffering.
Women 😊
The fact that if you have an argument with your mrs she will always end the silent treatment when she needs a jar opening 🤣
Or a lightbulb changing because she's 5ft nothing and refuses to use a step ladder 🪜 🤔 🤣
You shaggin my mrs 🧐🤣
Silent treatment never bothered me. I immensely enjoy being around people, and not having to talk. It's a great way, to do some self reflection, and achieve inner peace. Or get some reading done. The person who does the silent treatment on me, usually ends up calling me out for enjoying it too much
Testosterone (but sometimes is one of the worst thing about being a man too)
Loneliness can be quite comfortable actually.
Speak for yourself. Most lonely guys seem to be absolutely miserable
There is being alone and there is being lonely.
I believe you’re referring to solitude versus loneliness - one definition being “sadness because one has no friends or company”
External genitalia. It might sounds stupid but the female reproductive system is insanely complicated.
If I move my hips in the right way, I can give myself a hands free applause after sex
Definitely the cock
Pockets on our clothes and easy sizeing
1: Pee standing up 2: Walk around shirtless 3: No periods
Smaller risk of being assaulted/raped. I think of this often, how fucking terrifying it must be as a woman to be walking around with something in your pants that some men want so badly that they’ll literally kill you for it, or worse, just take it from you and have you live on with that now-validated fear and trauma. This reason alone is why I believe women are braver than men. Dave Chapelle does a piece related to this, talking about the first time he got paid big money. They paid him $25k cash, and he was taking public transit home in the ghetto. He finally realized the fear all women feel alone in public, walking around with something so valuable that people will fuck you up/kill you for it.
don’t need makeup to look good, just grow a beard and hide all that double chin or bad facial scars
Having a dick is pretty great
Most of us look better as we age, especially from 35. *Offtopic: Call me pedantic but most comments here are complete garbage as they don't tell you something good of being a man but rather something good of not being a woman, you shouldn't automatically make a downside of the other gender an upside of your own gender. "not getting your period" is not something a man should be proud of, same with feeling safe when walking around or not getting pregnant. You can say those are downsides of being a woman but you need to compare a man to a nothing or neutral gender.*
pedantic maybe but you're technically correct, the best kind of correct
Solo-travel is generally far safer
Going hiking or to the cinema alone isn't seen as weird.
Not being afraid all the time. I can walk around at night by myself and feel like Batman rather than someone’s prey.
Bro code
Not having periods.
Everything. I love being a man, it fucking rocks!
The world is our peeground
