My take on the Men/Women thing

I have been meaning to do this for months...I got this email about why Men are happier...and just can't accept it...so...the original points about Men are the ones in blue.  My reply to each point is in regular old white.  Feel free to add your own point of view...

 

Men Are Just Happier People: 

 

-- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put.

You get to drop the one you were born with ( Blat, Jelloschitz, Stanischaukiwitcz, Bush etc) and become Smith...

The garage is all yours. 

You never have to work in a cold, damp, room with an oily cement floor...

 Wedding plans take care of themselves. 


The wedding is exactly how you dreamed it would be...

Chocolate is just another snack. 


Everyone knows that to make you happy all they have to do is buy chocolate..

You can be President. 


You can sleep with the President...

You can never be pregnant. 


You can make everyone cry by showing a picture of the inside of your body...

You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. 


You can wear a swirly, flirty little sundress to a water park...

You can wear NO shirt to a water park. 


Well, okay, I have no reply for that one...Well, maybe it's that you get to look at the other gender walk around with no shirt...

Car mechanics tell you the truth. 


You can cry and get the mechanic to take $50 bucks off the bill...

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


None for this one either...Men have it made in this department...

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


You learn a cute litlle rhyme and amuse everyone by saying Righty Tighty Lefty Loosy

Same work, more pay. 


Days off for that time of the month...

Wrinkles add character. 


Same for women!!!

Her Wedding dress - $5000. Your Tux rental - $100. 


You get to dress like a princess for one perfect day...

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


No one has ever stared at my chest...




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


You get to spend all day shopping with a girlfriend for the perfect strappy sandal...

One mood all the time. 


This is a good thing...?

 

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 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. 

Just oblivious...ok, I could only do so much...help me out...
