Why 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 be pregnant.

You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.

You can wear NO T-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.

The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected.

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 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.

Your belly usually hides your big hips.

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 pocketknife.

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!

How about...

Skip dessert once a week, lose ten pounds. Permanently.


P. S. With all due respect to our male low-carb compatriots.

*L* sad but true mailman... MY particular pet peeve is that my husband doesnt CARE what the house looks like when he invites someone over..*L*... makes me NUTS! *L*
he also doesnt care if what he wears has HOLEs or is STAINED ... he will grab some wierd concoction of food and offer it to guests... doesnt need to PLAN some meal ... anything will do ..

he doesnt care how dirty he gets... (sure he is a mechanic milwright.. but still....)
he doesnt even THINK about if a dog has dirty paws when he pets them and lets them jump up on WHATEVER he is wearing.. even going out ...

he MAYBE combs his hair once a day.... MAYBE!
if he EVER looks in a mirror.. i have not seen it...*L*

and my NUMBER ONE thing that drives me NUTS? he will drive 5 MILES to get to a station that has GAS for a couple pennies less a gallon..grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i have been known to toss him a quarter and tell him to get the blippin GAS here! now! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh Kim LOL I'm crazy with the gas thing to. I will drive 5 miles into New Jersey because the gas is cheaper and I don't have to pump it there. (it's against the Law to pump your own gas) Why should I have to pay more money and work for the gas companies. and then I pay .75 to get back into Pa. LOL

We also don't care if the seat is up or down!

But do you know why most men die before their spouce? Because we want too.
