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 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. Send this to the women who can handle it and to the men who will enjoy reading it.

I represent that story. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> And wouldn't trade places with you gals for all the tea in China!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> FR
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face. Challenges can be stepping stones or stumbling blocks. It’s just a matter of how you look at them. The purpose of life is to live it, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience

Funny, I just sent this to a guy friend last week.
He enjoyed it, I think?!!
He always says he feels for us women, and he wouldn't switch places ever.

I told my friend that too!
Yeah, we go through more at times, but I wouldn't trade it for manhood either. Having my girls was the most special experience I have ever known. A man just can't understand that.
I love your spunk Drita!

I happen to like my smoothly shaven legs, especially in 4" heels that make me stand 6'2"!
I love the fact that I can openly and freely express my feelings, cry in public, hug my girlfriends (any boys!).
I like that I can change my hair and no one asks any questions.
I like that I have to question mechanics, doctors, lawyers, I lean more and put them on the spot!
I like that I can put a hat on with no make-up and I'm incognito, then see the same person an hour later and they can't believe the transformation. I love that I can fix my toilet, mow my lawn, clean my pool, and be self sufficient, if needed. I also love that I can call Mr. Fix it and no one thinks less of me if I don't want to do any of the above!
I love that I take the time to shop for that special gift for that special person, and that I wrap it up nicely and they can see the thought and love that I put into it...same with special cookies and baked goods that I give.
I love that I can go on vacation and buy a whole new wardrobe!
I love that I can wear silk and soft garments under my clothes (or not!) and no one knows and there is no shame. I love that I have the strength in my legs to hover over that yucky toilet if I have to (although those heels make THAT one a little tough!)
; )

That visual just about did me in!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> (hover over yucky toilet ----- in heels???? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />) Isn't that against the law?

Men are happier because they don't have to wear bras.

men aren't expected to put on pantyhose and walk around in shoes that were designed by women who don't like men.
I have, on rare occaisions, sent my now x for 'supplies'
