Guys are supposed to ask girls out. As a man with crippling anxiety when it comes to the opposite sex it's damn near impossible to ask a girl out. Why can't it be acceptable for women to ask men out?
[–]laneloveslipstick 105 points106 points107 points  (28 children)
This probably will sound dramatic to men, but I really envy that they (generally speaking of course) are probably overall less paranoid 24/7.
I truly can only speak for myself, but I think men would be shocked if they felt my fear just walking from my car to my house at night. I'm sure men are scared of things like that too, though, I'm not saying they have it easy.
Or how creepy it can be when a man "catcalls" you in a very disrespectful way, and you wanna stand up for yourself or say something sarcastic back, but you just don't know what his reaction would be.
Oh and not to mention, the fact that I (and lots of girls) have been getting hit on by older men since age 13/14. Very creepy and confusing feeling for a young girl who hasn't even really flirted with boys their own age.
I know most men do not have bad intentions, but if by some chance they did? I'd probably have no real chance because I am small. No matter how strong I am, or how prepared I am, there's 95% chance the man is physically stronger than me.

Hair. Women can and are allowed to do so many pretty things to their hair. Hair cuts, colours etc. For an average guy your options are never presented to you. Maybe because they are so limited. My mom/dad never took me to the hairdresser and go through what kind of hair I had and what hairstyles works with my face etc. My mom just told me I needed a haircut and she cut it for me. Now I'm 25 and I found a haircut I like and that works for me. Still it's nowhere near how beautiful the hair of most girls are.

There's pretty much only one thing; not having a period. I hate having to double check plans to make sure they don't fall on the day I'm likely to start, I hate not knowing the exact day either it's just guess work and a nasty surprise, I hate being unable to do anything for the day other than lying down doubled up with pain, I hate feeling gross, and I absolutely how how it happens every frigging month. I would give so much to not have to suffer with this bullshit.
Also I hate the embarrassing stigma surrounding it. If I'm really in pain and feeling ill, I will never admit why to anyone, I'll just say I don't feel good.
[–]Caridor [score hidden]  (0 children)
The fact that women get complimented.
Men don't. Men rarely complement other men and women are the ones who are pursued, rather than go after someone so men can work out as much as they like, having a rocking body and never get complimented on it, same with the mental things, because we come to you. You don't have to make us feel wanted or good about ourselves, we've already told you we want to be with you.
It happens rarely but holy shit, is it amazing when it does happen. Except when it's that "You're such a good friend", please don't tell us that if you know we like you romantically. It's soul crushing, but we have to be ok with it, because it's a compliment.

The clothes. Don't get me wrong, there are some good stuff out there for guys, but I just like female trends so much more. Larger variety of color, styles, the accessories, don't get me started on those. And lingerie, holy shit is that a trove of treasure and options.

Male chiming in, I work in an office where I'm the only male and I hear stories all the time about how they get out of tickets by crying and heard about it frequently from college and high school friends as well. So, I really envy the empathy that women receive when they are hurried or stressed or their ability to get out of trouble by becoming emotional.
Do note, I'm not saying this works for all women or that all women do this. I'm just saying I envy the women in my life who do, do this and do it consistently to manipulate law enforcement or administration into letting them get away with misbehavior.

Nothing. Women have the oddest plumbing. Being a guy is the best.
[–]queenofthera 26 points27 points28 points  (22 children)
Arguably our plumbing is more sophisticated. It's all neatly tucked away whereas a guy's just kind of hangs out. It's as if God got bored after designing such an intricate system for females and thought: "fuck it, just gonna let it all dangle."
[–]PatheticPathologist 664 points665 points666 points  (69 children)
The sexual norm. You basically only have to be there.
Not wet enough? Guy's fault
Didn't come? Guy did a bad job
He didn't come? Not your fault!
Didn't have sex for a week? Well he didn't initiate...
I know reddit is (mostly) a sex-positive environment and that this mindset isn't very prevalent here in our little echo-chamber. I'm also well aware that loads of women do feel responsible for these things, but that still doesn't change that the average guy will perceive aforementioned problems as his fault.
It's frustrating.
[–]Itanagon 713 points714 points715 points  (41 children)
You don't seem aware that a lot of women have massive complexes over not being wet enough. Think how you feel when your dick stays limp even though she's doing her best to arouse you. A dry women feels exactly the same.
On a similar note, if you fail to get hard, I can guarantee not a single women will think "eh it's not my fault". No, they'll think "what's wrong with me ?" and take a serious confidence hit.
Didn't have sex for a week ? She won't think "eh, he didn't initiate", she'll think "oh my God why doesn't he initiate anymore, what's wrong with me ?".
Everyone gets to enjoy the benefits of soul-crushing complexes when it comes to sexual performances, men and women alike.

Sometimes I don't get hard or I don't get as hard as I'd like and I get all in my head about it (which makes it worse). Anyway, my girlfriend doesn't explicitly say she thinks it's her fault but I can tell she thinks it is to some degree--and that sucks because it's not her fault at all. In all honesty, it just happens every now and then.

Not having periods. I could really do without that monthly hell.

Yeah, I'm sorry. Erections sound pretty uncomfortable, too, if you're wearing jeans or something.
[–]TheKamaD 414 points415 points416 points  (41 children)
Depends. If I'm wearing jeans that just barely fit then yeah it can be uncomfortable, but as long as my gear is positioned correctly pre-erection then it's no discomfort at all.
I still don't understand the thought many have that erections are painful or cause discomfort. I've never felt it like that, there's increased sensitivity and pressure down there, sure, but not really any discomfort.

[–]oOshwiggity 97 points98 points99 points  (1 child)
The best thing about massive heaving orgasms is the way it warms up your extremities afterward. Perfect pre-sleep relaxation temperatures to help you drift off to sleep in a warm, blood-filled flesh sack. (I'm referring to my body. I haven't microwaved a bag of blood to cuddle with since the prices skyrocketed. Thanks Obama.)

[–]GingerScruff 416 points417 points418 points  (59 children)
It doesn't always happen right away, each person is different and you have to find what works for you, but once you figure it out its easy to reproduce.
Basically things will start to get so incredibly intense really quickly and you're about to cum, then you orgasm, but nothing comes out...then you build immediately again and cum again, practically in seizure by now, but nothing comes out again. This will happen 3 - 5 times usually before you do blow and it'll just gush out like a fountain. You'll be left a heaping, sweaty, cum covered mess afterwards and you'll feel like you're on cloud 9.

This is going to sound so wimpy, but...
I wish people were kinder to me. I wish they considered my feelings more, and complemented me on days when I was looking good, and did little shit to try to make me feel better when I was in a crappy mood.
A lot of this is my own fault, for being kind of grumpy and stoic, but we guys just don't get the same level of kindness from the people around us.
Please understand: I think men are generally given more unearned respect and deference and we can feel safe in many more situations and stuff, so I'm not trying to say that we don't have adavantages in how we're treated, generally.
It's just that we aren't very often shown pure, unadulterated kindness (ie, sympathy, empathy, compliments, general emotional support), and sometimes I feel like it would be nice to get some.
[–]KD3DJN 188 points189 points190 points  (7 children)
Nothing wimpy at all. Contrary to what society and the media as a whole likes to push, men appreciate compliments and sympathy as well. It can be very tiring to always have to be the stoic tough bad ass. Some days we all would like to just be complimented genuinely or told "Hey, you look down. If you need an ear, just say the word and I will clear my schedule". The key is to find the right kind of friends to surround yourself with. Easier said than done I know but it is worth the effort to find and cultivate those friendships. My best friends are about as "Manly" as you can get but at the same time, none of us will ever hesitate to sit down with each other and listen to our worries, fears, etc. and genuinely try to help or at least provide support.
The people who call men a "wimp" for having feelings are often the ones who need someone the most even if they don't admit it. They have been told that emotions and needing help are signs of weakness just like going to the doctor. End of the day, the "real man" is smart enough to admit and say "Hey there is something wrong. I need help"
[–]OTTERSage 15 points16 points17 points  (0 children)
I feel ya on this one man! There's nothing wimpy about wanting emotional support - men are typically encouraged to suppress emotions and it feels like an isolated existence.
I feel blessed to have the roommates I do - one in particular is a very kind person. He's done and continues to do many kind things - one thing in particular that stuck with me is his tendency to constantly and genuinely compliment people.
When I asked him about it, he said his philosophy is that if we have a kind thought come across our mind, even if it's something small like "I dig that shirt," you should share it! What might be a small compliment to you could make the other person's whole day.
I've done exactly that ever since - I'm very glad I met this fellow.

Women are dominating the sound-design field because they on average have better hearing than men. Many believe it's an evolutionary trait, which gave them better sensitivity in the recognition frequencies at around 7kHz so they could hear the cry of their kids.
Regardless, as someone working in the audio industry, Im jealous as fuck. I've spent 10 years training my ear, and even then, the women in my field put me to shame.

This is exactly what my wife says.

If you are a woman and you post a picture of a male in which he was not aware, it is ok, some might even find it cute or say that she has a crush on him. If you are a male, you are a sexual predator.

I know someone who's uncle was casually accused of being a paedophile in a shopping centre once.
He is an older man and was out with his wife and their young nephew for the day.
His wife wanted to have a look in a women's clothes shop and the little boy didn't want to go in, so they stayed outside.
The way she told me the story was that her uncle was waiting out there for quite a while with his nephew and some woman had phoned the police on them.
Police came and they all confronted the poor guy.
Easily explained, and the woman got cautioned for wasting police time.
If that story is even partly true its horrific.

Was at my cousins senior night football game talking with my uncle and my mom, when two little girls walked by. One was 5 or 6 and the other 3-4. The 3 year old dropped a dollar and neither noticed. So I picked it up and gave it back saying "excuse me, but you dropped this" and the 3 year old was slightly scared and didn't react but the older one just took it and they continued walking and I went back to talking to my mom and uncle. On my way a group of teen girls was watching and all looked absolutely horrified, and I even heard "that was sooo fucking creepy".

When we were shopping for a nanny to watch our kid, I asked my wife what she had in mind. Somehow it became clear that there was absolutely no way she was going to hire a guy, not even a maternal and effeminate guy who was sensitive and in touch with his nurturing side. Why not? Because it was 'just weird'.
Now, I'm picking on my wife here, but I admit that I had my own reservations about hiring a guy to watch my daughter. I really dug deep, examined myself, and I still cannot nail down why I felt uncomfortable with the idea.
That's how deeply ingrained your point is. I'm aware of it, I don't think there is any reason to still believe it, and I still felt my prejudice.
[–]illini02 172 points173 points174 points  (7 children)
Yeah, I have a female friend. She is very liberal, but I asked if she would consider having a male nanny, and she said no way. I tried to get her to explain, and she had no valid reason, just essentially that she didn't trust a guy. That is pretty shitty.

As a guy who is a preschool gymnastics coach, this is 100% true and it hurts. This one lady insisted her daughter was afraid of me (the little girl wasn't) and also refused to believe that no other children were afraid of me when she pulled the girl out of my class.

I just recently got on Instagram and was scrolling through old pictures on a female coworkers account and found she had several sneakily taken pictures of me on there. I knew she had been doing that at the time but I didn't know she'd been posting them. Was a weird feeling but I wasn't hugely freaked out, even a little flattered.
On the other hand, if the roles had been reversed it would have been creepy as all hell, like 10/10 I get ostracised and taken off shifts with her for her safety.

I envy that men aren't pressured to change their looks too much using makeup. I LOVE makeup so much, don't get me wrong, I find it fun and relaxing. I don't really do it drastically change the way I look, but because I enjoy it. But I just think it's interesting that it's a societal norm for women to "fix" or "enhance" their appearance with makeup but men aren't expected to.
I still feel comfortable leaving the house without makeup on, but I always feel kind of envious that my boyfriend can look his absolute best in less than 20 minutes. For me to look what I consider my absolute best, I add makeup and curl my hair etc., and that certainly takes more time. For example, going to a wedding, or out to a fancy dinner or something, in general the woman spends much more time getting ready.
On the other hand, maybe some men feel envious that women can wear makeup without judgement. I'm sure some men might wake up with a zit or huge bags under their eyes and think "it would be awesome if i could cover this up with makeup....but that feels too weird, what if someone notices?"
I kind of wish nobody gave a fuck about who was or wasn't wearing makeup. Lots of men would look wonderful with their brows filled in and some under eye concealer, lol.

Women can tell colors apart better than males, generally speaking. Apparently Burnt Sienna isn't Darkest Orange or whatever
[–]arachnophilia 88 points89 points90 points  (15 children)
statistically, the same way that people have on average slightly less than one testicle.
the genes for the cone cells in your eyes are on the X chromosome, so women have two shots at getting them right. men have one, so men are more frequently deficient in color vision. reportedly there are also female tetrachromats, who have a bad and a good red cone cell gene and produce both, and so can discern colors even better.
personally, i'm male, but have perfect color vision.
the other factor is naming conventions, which are cultural. women are taught to focus more on many color names (makeup, fashion, etc, are all targeted at women). this isn't so much discernment, but how we choose to name things. we had a guest lecturer in our seminar class in college once talk about this, and rehashed this same tired point. she showed a color, and said she's call on a male student and a female student. she called on me, and i told her it was lavender. "bad example," she says, and calls on my female friend who is sitting across the room that day. my friend said "purple."
i was an art major. she was a bio major.

[–]yuudachi 8 points9 points10 points  (0 children)
Biologically, it is a lot easier to go your entire life ignoring your clit or vagina i.e. we don't get intrusive boners. Also, porn and most things makes it extremely easy to see how you're suppose to pleasure a penis. Meanwhile, every woman can receive pleasure differently, especially considering that plain 'ol repeated insertion often doesn't work.
Climaxing is also extremely easy to understand, particularly visually. Your penis shoots out stuff and it's soft again. You came, easy. But, for women, you literally only know you orgasmed when you... orgasm. You can only get so wet-- after that, you're just sort of looking for that vague feeling of immense release without actually releasing something (unless you squirt). Really doesn't surprise me that women can go most of their lives not orgasming.

the pleasure won't be the same but men can certainly get pleasure from anal sex. Nerve endings, the prostate etc.
[–]lolypuppy -22 points-21 points-20 points  (6 children)
Yeah, I am not sure if that is something good.
 
I have already been told, in a medicine lecture, that the pleasure felt on the prostate happens when it is hit from behid during the anal sex and it stimulates the nevers.
Usually, it should never be hit from behind, because it is an internal organ and it protected by other organs. In order to feel some kind of pleasure, it has to be hit hard. And what happens when it is hit hard? It swells and it might stimulates the nevers, which might cause an ejaculation.
Is this good? I don't think so.
I don't care about how other people have sex, but I don't want to do something that might potentially hurt my body.

I am male. I have already attempted. I hurts and I didn't feel any pleasure.
After my attempts, I read about it. I also read experiences of other people and the answers are mostly the same: only the psychological part and/or hard sex with strong impact influence on the pleasure.
The medicine explains what happens when the prostate is hit, so I prefer to give up.
 
Today we might not have idea of the outcome (results of researches regarding anal sex and health condition), but maybe in some decades.

    There's a difference between being popular and having sex appeal. Honey-senpai, to use your example, was surrounded by girls who thought he was adorable and felt happy being near him, but I don't think any of them were thinking about seriously having him as a boyfriend, and not even close to thinking about sex with him.
    Plus, Honey's cuteness was reconciled with his badass fighting skills, and I would argue most, if not all, other cutesy boy characters in anime have some other badass skill, whether physical or mental. There are hardly any cutesy male characters that can exist as just cutesy like some female characters do, even in anime.

    I feel like you are only counting the already pretty women, or the girls who spend time on their appearance. fat girls or girls who are considered ugly don't exist to most men, which is a feeling I think many men can relate to. Maybe average women have it easier than average men, idk honestly, but there are definitely a ton of women who never get wanted (especially not if they don't put effort into their appearance. I think most girls put down effort into their appearance because it is really important in order for you to be liked as a girl. idk this is just my experience though.)

It's also bullshit that it costs money to make me feel better (I have to pay for the prescription) because most insurance companies don't cover it because it's not a "medical necessity". It's all bs. And even though my period is made slightly better by birth control I still say men have the advantage in that sense. Periods suck no matter which way you spin it.

      In the work world (particularly in my field), being able to state your opinions and ask for things directly without having to agonize over how to do it exactly right so as to insure you will be heard while not being considered shrill, difficult, or just crazy.

      The fact that people are expected to approach THEM and do all the initial work in dating.
