lets talk about sex

[4getmenot]

so when in bath lastnight shaving my legs I thought 'my god the things us woman have to go through' and then I thought of all the obvious others, babies, periods etc. So todays debate is between the boys and girls or ladies and gentlemen and I ask 'who has got it tougher?' Would like to know what problems boys have that girls dont.

mental anxiety, mental breakdowns, menstrual cramps, menopause. . . .

Did you ever notice they all start with MEN

[johnlambert]

Shaving parts of our bodies is something that both sex's need to put up with, so you dont have it any tougher than the gents in that department.
Most women are attracted to successful men, just like in nature the female will mate with the alpha male in order for the male to protect them and to produce the strongest offspring so I suppose the pressure is on us to at least appear strong, confident and finacially independant.

^^^^^^^^^
manage, manoeuver, manual, mankind
do you notice all start with man

[stylinsam]

theres nothing that begins with woman though eh!?

[johnlambert]

There is, it's called

arguement

[4getmenot]

I've always thought that women have a harder time physically throughout life (birth, periods etc) but i think men have it far worse mentally - especially in this day and age (peer pressure, bullying, fights etc).

[redcrx]

nat, just wait til after youve had baby Nat before commenting on how hard men have it lol

[nat_84]

haha! Yeah maybe i shouldnt speak too soon!!lol

[4getmenot]

but fighting isnt something they need to do, walking away is the bigger thing to do. We have to do our things

The problem that men have is listening to the women constantly moaning about the �problems� they have. Such as you have mentioned, but also, the latest diet doesn�t work, the latest heart-throb celeb has got married to b1thc face, the latest clothes don�t fit, I feel fat, I feel emotional, you don�t understand me, you don�t listen, etc etc - it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

And we get told off for being grumpy when Arsenal has a bad game.

[4getmenot]

no oct you're not getting the point I'm trying to see if there is anything a man has to deal with in himself. You are just moaning about us moaning, bit hypocritical :-)

[4getmenot]

if we were to go on about the problems men make for us I�m sure it would be an even bigger list, because half the things you�ve mentioned are caused by men because of the stereotypical way a woman should be, if men didn�t ogle over porn mags and models we wouldn�t be that paranoid :-)

[nat_84]

I get told off for being grumpy when Arsenal have a bad game - so thats not just a man thing!

As for the fighting i think a lot has to do with per pressure, starts from a young age.

[4getmenot]

and surely thats the mans fault for being grumpy

[Octavius]

Might as well be as it seems it is also a mans fault when a woman is grumpy.

The problem is 4get, that men wouldn�t classify things as �problems� as through apical dominance perhaps, we just get on with it and don't ponder, but in taking your lead:

Shave face every day
Get shaving rash
Stub toes on bath & cabinets because of our big feet
Remove spiders from� everywhere
Checking out what went bump in the night
Management of the TV remote control
Adjusting the boiler temperature every half an hour
Fixing everything and repetitive DIY & decorating
Taking the rubbish out

I am sure there are more, but I was just thinking of one day in the week.

[4getmenot]

but thats what I'm trying to ask what is there that Men actually have to go through that woman don�t, as to your list men dont HAVE to shave, woman get shaven rash too, and being a woman living alone I do all the above and we too stub our toes

[Reverandfunk]

Waxing is the way forward surely....lol chest and eyebrows on a regular basis...

[4getmenot]

By the way I�m not making this into a post so we can moan about men I just wondered if anything that only men go through. Oh and may I mention the smear test
