Yeah, guys have benefits, too.

Socially acceptable to check people out... I think I'd get called a pervert...

Peeing outside has always made me feel awkward. I would hate to be in the woods going potty when a serial killer finds me. So vulnerable.

I hate it when people have no sense of humor. I also hate it when people only start to like something out of spite.

Whovian maked me laugh.

You just have to get a technique down. Also, being gross or perverted is more socially acceptable because it's expected. Burping or farting is okay. Chewing with your mouth open is okay. Eating ALL the things is okay.

XD I like when girls talk bout the benefits of being a boy, it's like 'oh wow, you see these things as benefits?' Like 'not expected to get overly emotional,' and 'it's socially acceptable to hit on people.' These things make me smile. Perhaps we should swap for a month, Doll.

Have fun with red week.
Also, not being expected to be emotional is a benefit. 1) When you're upset, people think "Shit just got serious." 2) Your emotions aren't belittled because of your gender.

The grass is always greener.

Exactly. I mean, I listed being overly emotional as a benefit for women, and not being overly emotional as a benefit for men...

I am assuming that you guys mean VULVAS, not vaginas, especially if you're talking about looks and comparing them to penises. Otherwise, it is far more accurate to compare the appearance to that of the eurethra (sp? I'm on a mobile.)

I'm sorry, that's a pet peeve of mine.

Damn, people beat me to the whole "there's nothing positive about being a girl" thing. I'd like to add, that in my experience, homosexuality in girls is more accepted. And they can hug other girls without it seeming weird. And there's no expectation to be "tough" and hide your emotions/pretend you don't have them. And they don't get questioned for dressing certain ways.

Those are just issue I personally have where I see a disadvantage of being a dude. (and yes, I know that there are a shit load of upsides)

I agree whole-heartedly with Joetom.

See's title of video. Aborts thread.

I hug other dudes (Limited to my closest friends though), don't give a shit what people think. However not like I'd hug a family member or a girl.

I really love that video.

If you're leaving a thread, there's no point in announcing you're leaving said thread. You can... leave. We don't take attendence.

I don't hug other girls. I only hug guys.

I hate people who don't give other opinions a chance, yes, that means you mr(s) 'I-abort-threads'

I've never really gotten the whole thing with people being in opposistion of hugging others of the same sex, it's a hug, you're not swapping spit.

But it totez makes them edgy AND shows they are just too cool for your shit.


I hate hugging people when I'm mega sweaty. It makes me feel gross.

I probably wouldn't care too much about what other people think, but my boyfriend is really worried about that kind of thing, so I can't show the slightest bit of affection when other people are around.

This does not sound healthy.

Well... if it works for you guys, but... damn, man. I could not do that.

I don't like it, but I kind of understand it. And we get plenty of time to ourselves.

This is America and how do I freedom! Alright Nips... Be angsty.
