Male or Female which gender would you rather be ?

To sort of complete my thoughts on this subject, having opted for the male gender at least for the first 60 years, the question remains should I prefer to be a straight man or a gay man. Although I am straight, I see many benefits to being gay. The vast majority of creative artists I have come to admire are gay and that's not just a coincidence. Gay men have exceedingly interesting relationships with woman who feel entirely open and comfortable in the presence of gay men. Indeed gay men seem to have many of the attractive emotional attributes that I admire in women. I'll have to think this over some more. I've never entertained this conjecture before.
 

Well, a gay men might attract a lot of women, but a hot looking, highly educated and nice salary man can do the same. During the years I was single, I wasn't "hot" looking, but was good looking and didn't have much of a problem meeting women. My education was only a few college classes, so my salary wasn't up there..........so, being that, the real "hotee's" of the world ignored me. Gotta LOL over that.

But, two kinds of males some women adore are COWBOYS (rodeo types) and ROCK MUSICIANS!

I understand what you are saying, I have known a few gay men, I found them to be very intelligent and fun to be with....they were fun to talk to, I think because of their intelligence.

I agree with your thoughts.
 
Well, one MAJOR change in me was my personality. Way back, I was pretty much shy and quiet. Those two elements don't work in a nightclub atmosphere nor do they work when wanting to meet someone. I decided, "enough was enough" and became more outgoing, aggressive and humorous. All three worked! Learning how to Country dance and Square Dance helped as well.

I agree ClassicRockr, I'm quite sure I would have enjoyed your social life during your years as a single man.

Well, I wouldn't go that far probably because I've never thought that way about gay men. IMO and only IMO.
 
When I was a teen one of my fantasies was to be a girl long enough to check everything out. A day would have been long enough. Now that I'm old I look back at my life and I am glad I was born a man.
 
Some of my best friends have been gay men; great company, very good to go shopping with, and will watch your back for you!
 
unfortunately... you can take the same attributes and spin them differently depending if you are talking about a man or a woman.


A man is commanding
A woman is demanding

A man is forceful.
A woman is pushy.

He’s assertive.
She’s aggressive.

He strategizes.
She manipulates.

He shows leadership.
She’s controlling.

He’s committed.
She’s obsessed.

He’s persevering.
She’s relentless.

A man is a perfectionist.
A woman is a pain in the ass.

I'd stick with being a woman, although I would like the ease of watering a tree during hikes in the backwoods, with the zip of a zipper like my husband does. Other than that, I wouldn't want to be a man, certainly wouldn't want to be drafted to go off to senseless war in some hellhole that is waged by the government for oil/control/money interests only.

I've worked all my life in male dominated jobs, with equal pay, I wouldn't want it any different. I did all the jobs they did, just as well or better. Many of them treated me as equal, as I don't fit the negative stereotype that many women have encouraged.

I've been hiking through the woods, fishing, shooting, boating, etc., either alone or with my husband over the years. In fact, I've likely done more manly things than some men have. I have absolutely taken long drives alone, eaten in restaurants and gone to the movies...we are talking women here, not children, right? :D

Unless you were in a Union, or sat down with them and compared paychecks.... it's doubtful if your pay was equal..
 
So the only perk in being male is being able to pee standing up. Gentlemen I think we are being belittled. They totally ignore our superior sense of direction and there was something else but it escapes me right now.
 
I agree Josiah, in my case, my husband's sense of direction is far superior to mine. :)
