No Wonder Men Are Happier

[Drax]

I don't know cloud. How much can hanaeleh bench press?

[kymaera]

Ha! When I get an interview directed to my EYES instead of my chest, when my drycleaners doesn't charge me EXTRA because the buttons are on the other side (why on God's green earth do they need to be on the opposite side, anyway?), when high heels go completely out of style, when I'm not expected to buy ten purses to match different outfits (what the hell is up with that, anyway? Doesn't brown or black go with everything?) etc., etc., etc.... then I'll think about wearing your sign.

1) Wear sharingan style contacts for your next interview.
2) Make your own clothes with the buttons on the non-other side or wear
men's clothes. (Women can get away with that. Men wearing women's clothes is bad.)
3) Be a trend setter. Set your own style.
4) Wear only one color of outfits. Then, you only need to buy one purse, or if you wear
men's clothes as suggested above, you can carry stuff in your pockets/wallet and do
away with the purse totally.

There you go. Issues all resolved, you sharingan-eyed, brown men's
clothes and flat shoe wearing person.

Now, I expect that picture soon. I've heard that you've already bought
the necessary costume.

After I lost my third or fifth purse (with ID), my parents finally gave up and let me carry a wallet. Haven't gone back to a purse yet!

A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.

It is me..... (I am not a man......) All I need is my computer and mathbooks (and some cloth etc..... )

[crackpot27]

.....there's always the 1 girl to 5 guys ratio at conventions...That's a plus ....most of the time

.....unless you're a girl!!!!!

....but I like being the only girl in a group of five guys...hmmmm, but I don't get to do a lot of shopping afterwards, there might be a reason for that....

I think all would be interested in my "high maintenance" list post that I made a few months ago. Many have joined since I posted the list so I think it's okay to drag it up again. This is kinda the opposite of the list the hanaeleh posted, which by the way was very funny. The xmas shopping one made me laugh more than the rest. The fact of the matter is if you women* weren't so "high maintenance" you too might be able to enjoy some of those things on the "it's great to be a guy list".

I've always thought that a bachelor's residence should have TWO diswashers: one for the clean dishes and one for the dirty dishes. You'd never have to put the dishes away. Take from the clean dishwasher and put them into the dirty dishwasher when finished.

*yes, that's a sweeping generalization and I know that for every woman that is high maintenance there's probably one that isn't.

Who else would never have to put the dishes away ?

To this end, the MOB is seeking a settlement of ten
million dollars, a pledge from Ms. Hanaeleh to attend sexual harassment
prevention classes and a pictorial apology from Ms. Hanaeleh in the form of
her holding up an "I'm an insensitive brute! Please forgive me!" sign while
wearing a Digi Charat kigurumi costume.

Ha!

What were you saying? I was looking at your chest, I mean eyes... =P

Yesterday I was buying a game, I was reading a box of something next to the cash register. Bad thing is that the lady's chest was about the same height, I swear she was probably thinking, "Great, another guy looking at my chest." while I was doing that. So the next time you think a guy is looking at your chest, we might be reading something... although you are at interviews... so... nevermind. You just need to carry a hammer and bop them on the head when you notice their eyes shifting.

I was thinking that the MoB can ask for more than that. How about the theme park animal costume from Full Metal Panic?

[Ms. Poe]

You know what three(well...There's more of course...) things make me happy to be a woman?

3. Boobs.
2. We are the ones who REALLY run the show.
1. We are the only creature on this earth who has a sex organ created specifically for pleasure. *squee*

Wedding dress $5000; Tux rental-$100.

I have to admit this one is even more true than the others.

One of the weddings I attended:
- the bride is up at 4a.m. while a team of scientists and architects collaborate in order to get her hair and her dress perfect.
- twenty-five minutes before the ceremony, the groom and best man (me) are debating wether or not we are able to wear the same socks as the day before. (where is an ashamed-smilie when you need one)

I really like the dishwasher idea, I will have to do that in my next house.

I have a friend that gets eyes painted on her boobs out at faire so the guys are looking at her eyes when they talk to her

or wear
men's clothes. (Women can get away with that. Men wearing women's clothes is bad.)

Except women have this thing called BREASTS which cause problems with the way a lot of men clothes fit.

Seriously, though. I've kind of made it my point in life to break just about as many sterotypes as possible. I'm a high-tech geek who has a waredrobe that is practically uniform-like. I wear a jacket with zipped pockets so you'll pretty much never see me carry a purse. I only really wear 2 pairs of shoes - 1 pair black sneakers, 1 pair black flats. I favor the sneakers. I'm not changing my name when I get married, which my fiance accepts just fine.

I do agree that having someone stare at your chest is annoying. Anyone know where can get a pair of said contacts? >_<

The two human genders seem much the same to me.

Hmmm, while I haven't exactly made it a point to break stereotypes, I seem to do it quite a bit anyway. I'm also a high-tech geek, and I enjoy tinkering with computers or building a model far more than say... getting my nails or hair done.

Even more annoying than having your chest stared at: when men don't take you seriously as a technical person because you're a blonde-haired female.
