Men Are Just Happier People - and here's why (May/12/2007 )

What do you expect from such simple creatures?

Your last name stays put.

The garage is all yours.

Wedding plans take care of themselves.

Chocolate is just another snack.

You can be President.

You can never be pregnant.

You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park.

Car mechanics tell you the truth.

The world is your urinal.

You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky.

You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.

Same work, more pay.

Wrinkles add character.

Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental- $100.

People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.

The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected.

New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.

One mood all the time.

Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.

You know stuff about tanks.

A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.

You can open all your own jars.

You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.

If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.

Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack.

Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.

You almost never have strap problems in public.

You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.

Everything on your face stays its original color.

The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.

You only have to shave your face and neck.

You can play with toys all your life.

Your belly usually hides your big hips.

One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons.

You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.

You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife.

You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache..

You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

No wonder men are happier!!

Good one, ahmad.

Do we need so many reasons to be happy?

ye, you men are really lucky
there 're more other criteria than what you mentioned
women's life is more difficult

Hi Ahmad, I wonder if the statements you made are based on empirical evidence or just plain hearsay.

Perhaps most of what you wrote were true but would you have us women any other way? If this were so then…

-who would carry your child for 9 months and go through a period of morning sickness, mood swings, bloating, back ache, displaced internal organs, medical procedures and the duck walk while still keeping a full-time job;

-who would humor you with tales of being duped by the mechanic and not knowing a bolt from a nut nor about which way a jar should be opened;

-who would teach you the importance of sanitation and good hygiene if you think that the whole world is a toilet, the best of which are in the gas stations and if you bring only one piece of clothing on a five-day trip;

-who would emphasize the value of safety when you substitute grooming implements with a knife;

-who would make you appreciate the importance of change…in color, in hairstyle, in shoes, in names;

- who would hone your talent for perpetual preparedness since you don’t know how we’d react nor what we will say or do from one minute to the next;

-who would show you the finer points of elocution i.e. that a word can be more than two syllables and a sentence more than two words and a conversation more than 30 s;

-and finally, who would still accept and love you for all the dominating, condescending, insensitive or clueless cave men that most men truly are?

I rest my case.

casandra

a perfect demonstration of the sexes
ahmad lists a bunch of things which make men happy
casandra lists a buch of ways women affect men (ie not a list of things which make women happy on their own)

MEN ARE HAPPY JUST BECAUSE WOMENS ARE PERFECT
