A lot of the ones in the "men's" list were downright wrong, e.g. same work for more pay.

It is a proven fact men have in the past and even now gotten paid more than women. Maybe not in your country, but in the US it has happened.

I sure wouldn't wanna be able to get pregnant. I'll take the gas. A person living inside of me for almost a year...no way man.

Not to mention that it has been said that men could not handle the pain of childbirth! ;)

The pain of a man passing a kidney stone would come very closely to resembling the pain of child birth. When I was in the U.S. Navy,two young men had kidney stones. The doctor,in order to help flush out the stone,prescribed BEER for his patients. As we all know,beer will definately cause one to urinate a lot.

Ya, both lists are great.

I had to react to a couple.
You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.
You can wear NO shirt to a water park.
------ I'm glad, but don't see why woman can't too!

You almost never have strap problems in public.
------- No we just have to adjust our junk!

None of those reasons make me happy.
Give me a billion dollars and tell me to marry an unbeliever. I'll reject.
What makes me happy is God and His people. Girls need men who can take care of them, be a good husband and raise kids who love Jesus with them. They don't need a tank loving, video game playing, happy to keep his last name guy, no matter how much money he has.
If Jesus isn't the glue of marriage the marriage is doomed to be a failure.
I know OP didn't ask about marriage specifically, so forgive me for being too blunt on off topic thing, but none of those things make me happy. My tank knowledge reminds me of my past and I've been laboring for months with the grace of God to put video games behind me. I don't even want to go back there in my thoughts. That time is past.
What should make guys happy is the Lord and serving Him. :)

Blessings.

Yes,spiritualy and idealy. If all Adam needed was the LORD,the LORD would not have created Eve. Therefore,as much as I hate to admit it,we men NEED women in order to be happy. I have heard many women my age (57) say that they have given up on and have no more use for a man. I have NEVER heard a man my age say that he has no longer use for a woman. Women can live without us,but we men cannot live without a woman. It just does not seem fair,does it? :sorry:

Agreed, but some do have the gift of singleness and each, single and married, should not view each other with contempt. What I meant by what I said is not that man doesn't need a woman but that he needs a Godly woman who will love Jesus and want to raise kids under Christian values. I don't want to promote singleness because of my own ideas about life (and the fact that I never had a date would undermine my credibility) but to each what God has assigned to them. :) :preach: ;)

You NEVER had a date and you are twenty-one years old? WOW!!!, And I thought that I started too late to start dating. I started at 17. I did not go to my High School Proms. On my first date,I was scared to death! I just did not know what to say or do. I was in my early 20's when disco came out. I was afraid to go out on the dance floor. I missed out on one of the most exciting eras in music and in dancing. Now,I am not afraid to go out on the dance floor. Learing to become an actor gave me the confidence to perform and/ or to speak in public.

So, maybe God has called you to singleness. As far as your credibility goes,well remeber that old saying,"He who does not play the game,should not make the rules" :p

I've gotta agree with Strelok, a lot of this stuff is just stupid; sure, meant to poke jokes at each gender but at the same time people accept these types of behaviours as fine and dandy; as a Christian man, we're meant to search the world to please our wives but not at the expense of spoiling them or that we're supposed to even give-in to a woman who is not worthy of a crown in Heaven.

Both lists kind of annoyed me a lot if you can't tell lol

lol sorry man, but in all seriousness... After reading them I was actually kind of annoyed, people whom want to play the victim (I can't stand on my own feet without a man), and then the feminist really just annoys me (but to hell with men, we need to embrace all of our feminine powers to equalize the world); it was never meant to be equal amongst genders, it'll never be equal between genders.

If you want to be equal with each other, don't expect to be treated like a woman then... if you want like to be treated like a woman, and blame the rest of the world for your inabilities by all means; just expect a whole lot of people (including other women) to come down on you just as badly, or treat you like a spoiled child.
