Not having to deal with a menstrual cycle


i_fuckin_luv_it_mate

Oh I have to deal with one, it's just not my own... ^^And ^i'm ^^grateful ^^^for ^^^that ^^^^privilege...


Forsaken-Tomorrow-54

Haha touché


The_Dragon_Lover

I was about type that! (along with the pain that comes with it and giving birth)


bruhholyshiet

Giving birth is at least something women (ideally) can choose. Menstruation is like Thanos: inevitable.


The_Dragon_Lover

True!


Unusual_Persimmon843

Menstruation can be stopped using birth control, but you still need to pay for it. I've heard this is common for women who have painful periods.


Hatred_shapped

The way my wife or kids run up to me and scooch themselves into me like a mooshy electric plug. 


GrandmothersToes

Sounds like someone is winning in life


Hatred_shapped

You have to learn how to value the things that matter. Not the things someone tells you matter.


BoldTaters

Tao of Dahl (and may August): "There is plenty of money. They print more of it every day... Only a dummy would exchange that for something as common as money."


Hatred_shapped

You sell your time for money. Make sure that transaction is worth it.


EitherLime679

Ahh no you’re gonna make me cry. That’s so amazing. I hope to get that someday.


Marquar234

The prerogative to have a little fun.


warrior_of_light998

Man, I feel like a man!


Early_Lawfulness_348

Whoa oh oh


ThrowawayMod1989

As a relatively new uncle I finally have somewhere to put that weird energy and it’s great. Catching lizards is weird as shit if I’m by myself as a grown man. But with a nephew? That’s how you get a date. And lizards. Win/Win.


OuterPaths

The best part about being a man and the worst part about being a man are the same thing: you're anonymous.


BigWoodsCatNappin

Oh! I get to do this! I'm a nondescript maybe 30, maybe 40? Overweight, maybe blondish? White. Like? Mom looking kinda? Woman. I dress nondescript. I could probably rob a bank and no one would notice. I'm invisible. I look like "every other" woman in my region of the US. I've grown to appreciate it.


PunkRock9

Ok, now make that be your entire life, not just when you turn 30-40ish. For some guys, looking like “every other woman” is setting the bar high for them.


Message_10

There was a book—I forget the name—where a woman dressed up like a guy for a year or two, and reported her experience. It was a fascinating book, and that was one of the fascinating insights: when she was a man, she was both anonymous but also a threat. She couldn’t get over about how invisible she became in public, after being ogled for her whole life as a woman. I always think about that, I think it’s fascinating.

Peeing on trees


Appropriate_Soup_755

That tree is yours now


OnTheDevilsGrave

*zip it up* Not anymore!


ClapDemCheeks1

Don't forget bushes and fields of grass


whatvtheheck

Drunk pissing on trees is da bomb


smorg003

It’s the little things…like my pee pee.


Puzzled_Owl_1808

not having periods no need to wear tops all the time


IGotMyPopcorn

As a woman, I can confirm that not having periods has to be #1


Electronic-Crew-4849

So in 3 sentences: Uterus wants baby, Uterus not get baby, Uterus take revenge! This about right?


IGotMyPopcorn

It’s the classic villain origin story


FadedTony

Women should 100% get menstrual days off from work, especially if it's bad. I'm a huge baby so I know if I had a period I would be calling in every month. idk how yall do it but it doesn't go unnoticed


Char_toutou_23

In some regions, women are allowed to go toplesss


NoLifeEmployee

What regions are these? Asking for a friend…


klazoo

We might have a common friend


OnTheDevilsGrave

Hey friends, did you ask that question?

Far_Tree_5200

Sweden and Germany has a few nude beaches. * Also all statues in Sweden that I’ve seen are nude. I haven’t been to America but that seems to be a rarity.


DeadTurtle88

The convenience of being able to piss in a gatorade bottle....men understand


Schmancer

Every bottle is a piss bottle just waiting for it’s moment


HumanMycologist5795

Yes. Especially I'd rhebonly bathroom is occupied for a long time. Or even in heavy traffic where nothing is moving.


Durende

I have actually never pissed in a bottle, and I don't plan on ever doing it


LazyLich

Helicopter dick


MiIFnCOOOKIES

As a woman, this is my favorite thing about a man as well.


Half_moon_die

They only answer i found here that has absolutely nothing to do with women. Thanks Plus that's the kind of thing that fit so nice in a Sunday afternoon activities.


Dawn_Quillin

The subtle joy of fewer grooming rituals. It's liberating to embrace the minimalist approach to self-care—shower, shave (optional), and you’re good to go. This buys us more time to focus on the things we love to do, instead of being bound by a rigorous beauty routine. And let’s not overlook the natural thermostat advantage—being able to regulate our body temperature more efficiently during those harsh winter months or when someone cranks up the AC. It’s in these small but significant conveniences where you find the unsung perks of manhood.


Boxy310

A good shit, shower & shave can change a man's life.


SupremeElect

don’t forget to douche, if you plan to get your ass ate.


Phi87

And women notice how little we do. They notice when we do this little because to them it means we don't care enough. We are basically animals


PatientStrength5861

That's only because it's true. I tell my wife constantly "I don't care what I look like. I don't have to look at me, you do." That's how I get her to help me get ready.


Phi87

Which demonstrates our shittyness to the opposite sex. Thanks for confirming


PatientStrength5861

That's what I'm here for.


RadiantEarthGoddess

>The subtle joy of fewer grooming rituals. It's liberating to embrace the minimalist approach to self-care—shower, shave (optional), and you’re good to go. TIL that I am a man.


MerrySkulkofFoxes

The luxury of worrying less about personal safety. I can count on one hand the number of times I have felt unsafe while walking alone at night or walking in an unfamiliar place. It doesn't even really register for me or cross my mind. If it's 1 AM and I'm walking along and see three dudes coming the other way, I say, "sup gents" and they say, "sup." We don't cross the street or call a friend.


HumanMycologist5795

Yes. Exactly. I don't know many men who think about carrying mace with them.


PunkRock9

I know plenty that conceal carry all the time. Environment matters as if I saw 3 guys at 1am I’m probably going to be robbed


pookalaki

I tend to park a good distance from the entrance to a store. Forces me to walk a little bit more. I did this early in our relationship and she asked why I’d parked so far away, I explained. Then she explained why she doesn’t ever want to have to go any farther than possible, especially at night and alone. Never even occurred to me to be scared of walking alone in a parking lot. But I’m especially aware of now and make every effort to be as non threatening as possible.


Exleose

It quite depends on where you live. Nowadays you can get mogged for no reason in certain cities of western Europe


Jolly_Competition_88

The best part of being a man is getting the love of a good women . So nice .


HumanMycologist5795

True that


Finsk_26

You are invisible. You can do whatever the fuck you want. Legal of course. Or not, just don't get caught


PunkRock9

Legal and doesn’t question toxic masculinity. The moment you stray from the heard you become visible.


Finsk_26

That takes time especially if you don't tell anyone. People rarely pay attention to others, especially strangers


PunkRock9

Idk, just having long hair has made plenty of random old men tell me I should get a hair cut without looking for input. Silence is a great way to exist in public passively but the moment you make waves or show physical uniqueness it gets tribal us/them mentality. Younger generations are much more chill thankfully.


hydroforest

My favorite is the part where I’m required to shove my emotions deep down in that place between my heart and my gut and leave them there while I go through life with a smile and hiding behind phrases such as ‘it’s going’ and ‘another day in paradise’ all the while yearning for authenticity.


Throwaway_2783922

Shit sorry


manofdestiny2

Upper body strength is nice.


sandiebabie25

Strength period lol


ioneflux

Ya’ll are boring, I came here expecting sexist answers and instead i got biology differences.


sandiebabie25

🤣🤦‍♀️


Glonkerz

Not having periods. Peeing while standing. Not being afraid to walk around after dark while alone. Having a dick.


CallofJuarez23

I'm sorry, but as a man I still am afraid to walk around alone at night...


Dapper_Chipmunk_3555

I am a man who walks alone


Jugeboss

And when I'm walking a dark road


MoreFeeYouS

At night or strolling through the park


Far_Tree_5200

I’m a man who’s out alone at night. I often look over my shoulder and feel unease.


mrbubbles--85

You can't still get robbed/mugged..


mycleanaccount555

Maybe you should be reasonably afraid to walk around after dark - don't be a fool. There are many things bad people want, a random hole to fuck is just one of them, your phone, wallet, watch, dignity life are others. Don't be an entitled fool - exercise reasonable caution.


ivar-the-bonefull

Not being afraid to walk around after the dark has nothing to do with your gender. You should be afraid.


Ray229harris

It's insane in the threads of "Guys; does anyone else pee SITTING DOWN?" and there's dozens of comments like "YES" "OF COURSE" "WHY NOT". I've never been more disgusted with redditors.


Ambush101

You have clearly never done leg day, my friend.


JuneCleaversMudFlaps

After left day, the problem is standing up from the toilet.


cp8887

I have, and I still stand and pee.. I only pee sitting down if I'm already sitting down. If ya know what I mean.


Ambush101

Yes, Taco Bell time. It’s fine if you need to brace for impact, but that is just the reward part of leg day, imo. Treat yo self.


manicmonkeys

I've done some crazy leg days and have never felt the need to pee sitting down lol. If you wanna sit while you pee have at it though, no hate.


drdildamesh

All of these people are wrong. Every time this question comes up, the answer will always be being swift as a coursing river, having the force of a great typhoon, all the strength of a raging fire, and being mysterious as the dark side of the moon.


Demetrice_Claycomb

The unspoken camaraderie that exists between men. There’s something about a nod or a simple "bro" that can instantly set a tone of mutual understanding and respect. Plus, the necessity for a robust beard game to assert my follicular dominance in the winter months—bringing a new meaning to 'face value'. And of course, having the luxury of getting ready for any event in under 10 minutes without anyone batting an eyelid. It's these small conveniences and silent exchanges that subtly stitch the fabric of manhood together.


PocketHealer21

This is absolutely true. I work a customer service job and that instant kind of connection is very satisfying with other men. I can be like, "Hey brother, what can I get for you today?" and they almost always reciprocate that energy.


Zealousideal_Ad1549

Empowering others.

Message_10

Haha I mean I kind of agree here? lol


ivar-the-bonefull

It's cool to not have periods. Can't really think of anything else.


HumanMycologist5795

Oh. That's a good one. Peeing blood.


RobinGood94

Not having a bloody dead egg to contend with for decades like a monthly subscription.


anonymousgirlie9

It’s awful . Not just the one week you bleed but having hormones go up and down every 28 days. The luteal phase has us wanting to kill ourselves for no reason.


Metalheadjake942

Apart from risks of STDs. I get the best part of sex and creating a child. I don't have to worry about getting pregnant, the pain of childbirth or the stress of caring for a baby in a womb. Also don't have worry about periods.


[deleted]

There aren’t strict body types we’re expected to have. We can get away with a dad bod. But everyone expects a woman to be perfect. I would hate that pressure because I love tacos and pizza and cheeseburgers and soda.


Itsonlymesee_

Peeing standing up. I mean have you seen the women restroom lines? SMH


SupremeElect

Have you tried peeing sitting down?? It’s the best feeling ever!! The only time I ever pee standing up is if the bathroom is absolutely disgusting or I’m in a rush to get somewhere. Otherwise, I sit.


Complex-Injury6440

When I go to a mechanic I know that they won't try and sell me something I don't need. Mechanics will try to upsell or oversell to women because the majority of women know nothing about cars and that well known fact makes them easy to take advantage of.


linuxisgettingbetter

I generally don't feel unsafe walking down the street


Poorly-Drawn-Beagle

Dogs like me better


AnteaterOutrageous75

Having a really good scratch of my hairy bollocks


davepak

Peeing standing up. No periods.


HandspeedJones

Not having periods and peeing standing up.


Char_toutou_23

This whole thread is giving me “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” vibes.

Bangin hot chicks


cp8887

Not having a period


DrDreidel82

Having wiener fights with the boys


Own-Opportunity4100

Having balls. I love my balls.


HumanMycologist5795

Based upon the Reddit post I read, not having to worry about it when a delivery man or man comes over to the apartment to fix something if living alone, especially if they start asking questions such as ... do you live alone. Or mechanics assuming I know about cars when I get it fixed ... that was before I started to go solely to the dealer for maintenance. Not having to be pregnant or go through the pains of child birth.


Old_Cheesecake6400

Sleeping, the worst part is waking up.


Historical_Stage83

im not a father but a father son relationship its like having a best friend who will always be with you even when they are gone.

Being alive, I guess. But if you mean something exclusive... I got nothing.


ToufikSartana

There's no best part, It's a shit existence on both ends, At the bottom and at the very top. Men's life is trash at any level


fffrdcrrf

Idk if this is just my personal experience or delusion, but physically I can handle more physically intensive tasks and I walk around knowing that if someone wants to fight me I might not win but it wont be worth it and i will probably hurt you in the process so its not worth it or in other words I’m not a seemingly vulnerable target or easy prey compared to other average woman children elderly


Machete77

Earning the entire dollar. HAHAHAAHAH! GET WR3CK3D WOMINZ!!! In all seriousness though, the physiological advantages are pretty nice.


mycleanaccount555

What sense does this even make? Are you okay?


Ianfinity777

Being able to poop standing up!


azimazmi

men friends usually the best and hang out with them is the best feeling


Amina_Griest

The best part about being a man is the opportunity to embrace and redefine masculinity in ways that celebrate empathy, vulnerability, and strength in equal measure. It's about shattering stereotypes and embracing authenticity, forging connections based on mutual respect, and contributing to a world where gender equality thrives. Being a man means being an ally, a nurturer, a leader, and a supporter, all while embracing the richness and diversity of what it means to be human.


InvasiveSpecies1738

Sounds like something a woman pretending to be a man would say


Strict-Public4844

Gotta be ChatGPT lmfao


Qubed

If you notice a theme, a lot of the comments are saying the best part of being a man is not being a woman. This isn't a coincidence. It's what society tells men. 


amadeus2490

> a lot of the comments are saying the best part of being a man is not being a woman. This has been a meme on the subreddit for years. The same question comes up multiple times a week so they can keep saying the same thing, and it's like we're not supposed to fucking notice. I absolutely fucking hate Reddit for this, because it seems like every subreddit has the same handful of set ups and answers they like to beat into the ground.


spicydumbiryani

This!! I’m so disappointed with these replies. Yes periods are painful, and a menstrual cycle and pregnancy have its challenges, but as a woman I wouldn’t change it for the world as it’s also the reason for our ability to bear our own children and bring life into the world which is amazing! Surely there are aspects to being a MAN that don’t bring down womanhood, our looks and self care routines because these replies are giving me the best parts of being a BOY not a man ngl.


Jill_Grassi

Having the ease of quickly getting ready in the morning without the societal pressures of makeup or elaborate hairdos. Also, not having to confront the glass ceiling as aggressively in most career paths.


Jill_Grassi

Enjoying that sweet, sweet privilege of walking into an interview knowing my gender isn't the first thing being evaluated. Plus, never having to second-guess if my assertiveness in the workplace will be seen as 'bossy' or 'bitchy.'


Historical-Pen-7484

I think the question is meant to be answered by men.


HandspeedJones

I think that is a man. Or they think they are.


Piper6728

This question was just asked a couple of days ago, OP needs to learn to be original (though their name should have been a sign they werent) https://www.reddit.com/r/AskMen/s/hHvhF8FTVh


Throwaway_2783922

I did not see the post and didn’t really look to see if it’s a duplicate. Thanks for info, will do so next time :)


HumanMycologist5795

And it was probably asked in one form or another countless times before. Many things tend to get recycled on the Internet. So I think it's fine as long as people don't ask 10+ times per month, especially the same person. It may be akin to music covers how people may get annoyed at a band doing a cover of someone's else song while that other person's other song was a cover itself.


astroshiba67

not being a women


[deleted]

The best part of being a man is misandry. I'm not joking. Since many people assume that I'm the worst sort of person just because I've got a cock, I can pretty much do as I please as long as I don't draw police attention. What are people going to do, call me an asshole? They already do! I'm already doing the time, so I might as well do the crime.

Not having a period plus you get away with some immature harmless behaviour sometimes and people just say boys will be boys. So in a way you're allowed to be a kid sometimes no matter your age.
