Are men just happier people?

"Men are just happier people

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 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 service station toilet 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. Suit 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 holiday 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 are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original colour. 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 colour 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 moustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

No wonder men are happier"

1. I've seen something similar to this and

one other thing is

You can walk around the hardware store while eating a banana and nobody will stare at you.

2. I think in general, yes

We men are simple critters. :D

For me, thinking goes like this:

If I am really concentrating on something ("object" denotes the thing I am supposed to be concentating on)- times are in MM:SS

00:01 - 00:09 - Object
00:10 - 00:20 - Boobies
00:21 - 00:29 - Object
00:30 - 01:20 - Sex
01:20 - 01:29 - Object
Etc..

Otherwise if I am just "Not thinking about anything" its a mixture of whatever random cool thing pops in my head (frequently family guy and other funny quotes scenes) and sex and boobies.

9. Jeff Foxworthy says if you want to know what a man is thinking

at any given moment, it's this: "I want a beer and I want to see somebody naked."

3. I guess I'm a closet woman then!

Either that or my meds are screwing up my brain again. Or my brain is screwing me up again and I need to take more meds.

Oh well, when life give you lemonade, make lemons. Oh wait, my mind's all addled anyway.

Nevermind. :)

4. And yet,

if I were to be reincarnated, I would still like to come back as a woman.

5. does that sound like things that would make someone happy?

your belly hides your big hips? one wallet and one pair of shoes, one color for all seasons? your underwear is 8.95 pounds for a three-pack? yikes, sounds like hell to me

no wonder they gripe so much abt nothing

[RedCappedBandit]

6. I could respond..

to everything in that article, but i'll just complain that i'm a guy and i'm not happy. What the heck!

[Blue-Jay]

7. We're just easy to please.

And emotionally "held back".

[Floogeldy]

8. Honestly . . .

. . . most of those things you mention could easily be applicable to women if they would shed meaningless notions of tradition, culture, mores, expectations and behavior.

Okay, except for the pregnant part! ;)

[DrGonzoLives]

14. We have a winner

Do women honestly think that if they all decide to stop wearing makeup and doing the things they do en massed that men will forego sex or relationships? No.

If you don't want to wear eyeliner and high heels and pantyhose, then don't. It really is that simple.

11. But If a Woman Wants to See a Naked Man

She just has to ask. I believe men have to go through a little more to see a naked woman.

Oh, and I believe men are mostly capable of single orgasms every hour or so. Poor things.

[NewJeffCT]

12. and despite our supposed happiness...

we men live shorter lives, on average, and are more likely to die from most leading diseases.

13. But They're Usually So Nice To Have Around!

They're usually taller and stronger, and quite a few of them are great, despite only having three pairs of shoes.

15. Those were part of Maxim's 100 best reasons to be a guy, about

8 or 9 years ago? (Geez time flies!) You left out that we think the idea of punting a small dog is funny, and nobody secretly wonders if we.... nevermind this will get locked.

[Deep13]

16. Usually.

In a couple, i usually find that it is the woman who is the more fretful, especially concerning social matters. I think many of the complaints of the poster are burdens women put on themselves. My Sweetie is not like that, but my mother can't go to the corner store without being dolled-up. I go in my pajamas.

By the way, shaving ones face is a barbaric act that I only do because the job requires it.

[samsingh]

17. yes - if they have enough sex with different variations

[RedStateShame]

18. There are two responses I have for this

"Of course men are happier!! We drink more on average."

or

"Of course men aren't happier!! We drink more on average."
