MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE

mousiegirl — Sat, 15 Apr 2017 16:49:52 GMT

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.
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.
Wrinkles add character.
Wedding dress-$5000. Tux rental-$100.
People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.
New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.
One mood all the time.

Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
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.
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 20 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

No wonder men are happier.

When it comes to NICKNAMES · If Sheila, Candy and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Sheila, Candy and Sarah.

If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Bubba and Wildman .

EATING OUT · When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50.None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.

When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

MONEY · A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
· A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's On Sale.

BATHROOMS · A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel.

The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.

ARGUMENTS · A woman has the last word in any argument.
· Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

FUTURE · A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

· A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

MARRIAGE · A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
· A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.

DRESSING UP · A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.

A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

NATURAL · Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
· Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

OFFSPRING · Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.· A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!

@mousiegirl. I just don't know where to start. I am so opposed to this way of thinking and find it demeaning to women.

I don't know if they are happier, but they seem not to worry about the small stuff or at least what they think the small stuff is.

Have you always hate men or did it just start...lol A lot of hate and anger comes out that thing. I'm sorry about whatever caused those feelings. Can you imagine the uproar if a man posted something like that about women...lol

@Shanus I found this to be very true, and funny, not demeaning at all, unless facts are demeaning.

He can wear comfortable pants and not ask if they make his butt look too big

He doesn't have to ask directions

You left out "dude" that they can call each other.

He may try something "fun" even if he hurts something, breaks something (on his body), or makes a complete fool of himself, and his friends will laugh, ask if he's ok, and keep right on filming him.

(I'd rather be a woman). I go into this as just having fun.

@mousiegirl

Gee, sorry to see that some just don't have a sense of humor., just the PC world we live in I guess.......I found it to be funny and true.............

But one thing men have a problem with is BEING BORED EASILY!!! When a woman retires it seems she is busier than ever---hobbies, volunteer work, gardening, decorating, taking classes to learn to cook new cuisine, exercising, social media, or if applicable having fun with grandkids............ Meanwhile, about 15 minutes after their retirement, men get bored and end up going back to work.....a weekend is enough time off for them.

I read a story a woman wrote about her husband having just retired was bored out of his mind.........as the woman was finishing doing household tasks he was following her around like a lost puppy looking for a home---"watch the news" , she said...."I did that" he replied, "read the paper".she said, ...he said,."did that", walk the dog, "I did that", mow the lawn---"did that yesterday" take up a hobby---"dont like to fish, golf, or exercise--my joints ache"..............As the woman grabbed her purse and car keys and headed off to do some charity work, she finally said---GET A JOB!!!!

I have heard so many people say this about the men in their lives---LOL!!!

I'm not sure why it is demeaning - I find it pretty right on, except for the remark "men can become president" - so can women!

@Spurt LOL! I have already told DH that he can work a few days at home when he retires, and fortunately, his hobby is model trains, though I wonder if he will tire of that when he has all the time to attend to it. I expect him to help me in the garden a lot, now it is only on Sundays. He is great at building things, so I have fences that need attention, and on and on. I told him, remember, I can never retire, meaning household chores.

Long story short, no way will he be following me around, or out the door he goes, lol.

@mousiegirl

LOL!!! Well I hope his train hobby keeps him engaged.....and I would certainly put him to work in the garden a lot---LOL!!! The fact he likes to build things is something he can fall back on if boredom hits him, a friend's husband got bored in his retirement and started doing some handyman work for his neighbors and relatives---he doesn't charge anything except for materials he needs for the project--it has kept him pretty busy and away from the "gee there's nothing to do" stage........

I only see a small amount of "facts" here. Many more generalizations though and most I don't agree with.

You may not care for it, but if you know men , you know most of it is true.

Cute post @mousiegirl

A lot of those are true and some are really cute. I don't know if men are happier people, but I'm happy they're here. Where would we be without them!

The PC police hate stereotypes & generalizations.

Personally, it's funny, cute and mainly true.

Thanks for the giggle.
