Men are from Mars?

Recently, my Mom sent me a funny little pick-me-up about how awesome it is to be a woman.  I found the list amusing and thought I’d share:

·         We can scare male bosses with mysterious ‘female’ issues

·         We don’t look like a frog in a blender when dancing

·         No fashion faux pas we make will ever rival the ‘Speedo’

·         We don’t need to pass gas to amuse ourselves

·         If we forget to shave, no one has to know

·         We can congratulate a teammate without ever touching her butt

·         We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our ‘bits & pieces’ are still there

·         If we marry someone 20 years younger, we are well aware that we will look like an idiot

·         There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems

·         We can make comments about how silly men are in their presence because they aren’t listening anyway.

And there’s a dark side.  Now, I’m not usually a ‘man-basher’, but some of these are funny because they ring slightly true:

·         It’s OK if we wear a tank-top in a restaurant

·         No matter how small our feet are, no one ever wonders how small anything else is

·         We can get out of a speeding ticket by crying

·         We can get out of a speeding ticket by showing a little cleavage

·         Men don’t know what our ‘girl talk’ is all about (and I’m not gonna tell you!)

OK, to be fair, guys have certain advantages that I must admit I am sometimes jealous of.  For example:

·         Men don’t need expensive fashion clothes or 20 pairs of shoes

·         No monthly visit from ‘Mother Nature’

·         Friends don’t give you crap for losing or gaining weight

·         Clicking through channels, you don’t stall on every shot of someone crying

·         None of your co-workers have the power to make you cry

·         You and your buddy can watch a game in silence for hours without ever thinking, “Gee…he must be mad at me.”

·         You can admire Clint Eastwood without starving yourself to look like him

·         Gray hair and wrinkles add character

I suppose men and women have equal advantages and disadvantages, but I am clearly biased…I much prefer being a girl.  And I know God knew what he was doing when He gave me girls!
