Got this from a friend... thought you'd enjoy it...

-----

Men Are Just Happier People -- What do you expect from such simple creatures? 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 become 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. The world is your urinal. 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. Same work, more pay. 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. You know stuff about tanks. 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 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 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

No wonder men are happier.

Ugh.

Women worry too much.

P.S. and are inherently inferior and stupid.

Good one

i got that in an email b4 xmas - and re-sent it to everyone on my email list


but, unfortunately, the thread title isnt true- men DO get depressed- but they r less likely to seek help- and thats such a shame.

June7 said:

Oh hell no! LOL

I suppose all that's something to be happy about. So why am I so miserable?

Now ladies, let's be honest here. While some of these differences are beyond our immediate control (pay disparity, the way mechanics talk to you, etc.) a lot on this list is self-inflicted.

....cuz we die younger.

I have alreally asked my husband, an he told me he does not care.

I dread going to the mechanics.

No, you don't

no one is in a genuine happiness.
what is happiness? people are never comfortable, they always want more.
they can live very happy, but something still upsets then.

so no men are not happier.
and women are not sadder.

people=people nothing more.

The point is, we don't need more than 3 or so pairs of shoes. But how many women have that few? Not many. I know I don't. It's self-inflicted.

Being scared of things. Impractical shoes. Willingly shelling out for overpriced undies. Constantly trying to keep up with the latest trends. Taking forever on the phone. Being self-conscious to the point of refusing to wear certain clothes, like shorts. Not knowing which way to turn a nut. Not being able to open jars. Spending ludicrous amounts on white dresses we'll never wear again. A penchant for overdramatizing. Food guilt. Changing our last names.

This shit is all self-inflicted.


Whether as an attempt at humour or not, I'll never understand women who willingly treat themselves so poorly then have the gall to bitch because men have it easy. The menfolk have got all the advantages in a lot of areas in life, many of which are still beyond our control. But these things? There's no reason we have to stick to salad or be useless at fixing things or hobble around in painful shoes.

I once read a study...well, OK. I heard about it on the radio. But anyway, someone studied people with depression and did a little experiment.

The depressed people would be woken up in the middle of the night. They didn't really have to do anything, they were just woken up. After it was determined they were awake, they were allowed to go back to sleep.

The study found that waking up in the middle of the night lowered the amount of depression significantly. No one knew why, but it was uncontrovertable that if one suffered from depression, sleeping the whole night through was not desireable.

Well damn... just for the record, I'm very good w/ tools I also buy cheap drawz, ignore most trends, ignore the phone most times, can usually open my own jars & have yet to buy a wedding dress. Just sayin'

But don't fuck w/ my shoes

It also helps that, no matter how bad things may get, I ALWAYS have a friend who's up for playtime.....

reneGade20 said:

AH-HA! So do men wake up throughout the night to play with their "friend" perhaps?

somethings are funny because they're true
