- Sex/Gender Problems

[Canadamus Prime]

The stereotype that because I'm a boy I am obsessed with sex.

THIS ONE!! I also hate the people who perpetuate this stereotype. ...and SpikeTV.

So when some random guy in a game offers to `explain` the game to me, I should automatically be grateful? I'm just trying to play a game, I guess I shouldn't expect to be treated like I know what I'm doing.
I am happy when PEOPLE hold the door for me, but I also hold the door for others.
If you do it for people, awesome.

Seriously though, I dont mind white-knighting as much as the harrassment (cause the white-knighting happens much less). Also it has to do with a guy I knew who white-knighted me to death, and wouldn't let me hold a bag with a packet of gum and a can of coke in it. It. Gets. Old.

The stereotype that because I'm a boy I am obsessed with sex.

I second this.

 

[orangeban]

As a man I find my biggest problem is what society expects of me as a man. Also, awkard boners.

Most annoying thing about being a guy? You can't be friendly towards a member of the opposite sex without all your friends (and sometimes all of her friends) assuming you are "grafting" her (yes, that's the new slang). If you like talking to a girl it obviously must be some kind of subtle ploy to end up in her bed, because you couldn't possibly just enjoy their company. No no no no no. Because you see, you're a guy, and it's a well known fact that whenever a guy looks at a girl all they see is a pair of tits on a stick. /sarcasm

Oh, that and being kicked in the balls. That one's no fun either.

I hear you on that one. In high school the majority of my classes were had a larger female population. I got in more than one argument because some dude thought i was trying to get his girl.

Being a boy and so stereotypically obsessed with sex. It is very time-consuming...

Also, this may sound really weird, but I'm pretty jealous of women's ability to get pregnant. It seems super special, and I feel I'm missing out.

 

[Shakomaru]

Why the hell can't a girl whose interested in a boy come up and talk to him instead of it always being the other way around?

This. I also hate that Guys actually follow the stereotype that they all have to be perverts. Personally, I'd much rather not be a guy, especially if it means I have to be just like every single one of them, or risk having friends. I have described myself as a tomboy many a time to my best friend, who is female, (Lucky her..)and she has agreed. or at least said that she's more masculine than me. I'll probably have more to say as I remember it.. I have a rant somewhere. but until then... THAT'S WHAT I THINK!

 

[bruggs]

It might seem weird, but I'm pretty jealous of how women can grow a human inside them. I feel like I'm missing out.

Edit: This was meant to be an edit of my earlier post, but now it's a separate post! I just wanted to take out my silly half-joke and now look what happens.

 

[omega_peaches]

I'm a guy, and the first thing I thought was Awkward Boners.
Seriously.

 

[Baralak]

I hate that most women don't even think to help me lifting furniture at work. It's like the thought doesn't even cross their minds. Oh how the classic feminists would weep...


Also, I'm a guy who hates sports. I hate shopping, too, but that's because I never have enough money to buy everything I want.

 

[theevilgenius60]

I hate how, as a guy, I'm supposed to know EVERYFUCKINGTHING about cars. I have never cared that much about cars, it's just transportation to me, but I get the rolled eyes and looked down on if I don't know every tiny last piece of minutiae having to do with my truck. Thing I do is bring the conversation around to sports and drown them with jargon to see how they like it.

That, too. I can build a PC, but I have no idea what a "hemi" is.

I hate that it is just naturally assumed I am a fucking horndog because I'm a dude.

When people find out I'm asexual, somehow that makes me not a man. Because men are just like that, supposedly. If you don't want to stick your wang in any warm, inviting hole that presents itself, you may as well just be a statue or something.

I have actually had people come up and say things to the effect of "why don't you just get castrated since your dick is basically useless." And then they sit and stare at me with inquisitive little dumbfuck eyes and a vapid smile like they didn't just say something completely fucking retarded.

Maybe they should be lobotomized. Their brains seem to be basically useless.

OT: Beer reminds me of the smell of piss, yet for some reason guys seem to be expected to drink it. My friend even admitted that no one actually likes the taste, which makes me wonder how people are stupid enough to drink something that tastes bad. It is possible to make alcohol taste good, but I guess they're just cheap.

 

[Vault101]

I dont know

alot of stuff targeted towards girls is crap...dance movies, rom coms toys part of the reason I just prefered boys stuff as akid...its just better

I agree wholeheartedly. Give me a Smirnoff to Mike's Hard Lemonade or something over Budweiser or Coors.

I am perfectly happy with being a male. Just the fact that Girls are the ones who have baby's makes me so happy to be one too lol.

 

[Death God]

Males: The most annoying thing about being a guy is that everyone expects you to be like some kind of Rambo-muscled, power-housed, strong man. The minute you show a kinder side it is an immediate, "He's gay. He likes reading instead of sport and watches 'chick-flicks', so he must be gay," and personally, that gets real old and real annoying.

Females: Girls who want equality but yet deny when a guy want to play volleyball or gets mad when a guy doesn't hold the door for them or doesn't pull out their seat. I, being the gentleman I am, already do all that but I is beyond annoying when girls say a guy can't do something but a girl can and still ask for equality. If they want equality, you get equality 100% or not at all.

Most of the girls I've talked too say they like a feminine side. I had one who started a rumor that I was gay, which I didn't really mind. My current fuck buddy has a boyfriend that tries to fit the stereotype to a tee, except he looks like a frat boy. And acts like one. It amazes me why girls go for guys like that, but meh. Free sex.

If anything, they like a guy who takes care of himself in the gym, and has a feminine side.

I suppose so. I've been called gay for many reasons but mostly due to the fact that I have very little muscle mass and and a sensitive kind of person.

 

[SckizoBoy]

It was worded that way on purpose.

Meant to reply to this ages ago, but couldn't quite remember a quote of newspaper headline epic fail. Finally remembered it, so:

How Much Cleavage is Too Much? A businesswoman must keep in mind that too much exposed boobage can swing back around and kick her in the butt(!)

 

[Robert Ewing]

I am impartial to being male.

Because we get the blame for everything, and if there is a scrap involving a male or a female. The male will always come off worse. 100% of the time.

 

[MercurySteam]

So, Escapists.

What do you personally believe to be the most annoying thing about being a male/female? What shortcomings do you think those of the opposite gender often overlook?

I hate that male orgasms are so short.

I like to think it's because we have so many things we need to do, our bodies try not to let one of our most primal (and daily) urges take too long so we can get on with other manly activities.
