    I saw this topic and now have that song "If I Were A Boy" in my head.

    Being a guy has its downfalls too, if that helps any.

    Me 2!! I get frustrated that my husband eats whatever he wants, barely goes to the gym and loses 10 lbs. While I have maybe lost 5 or 10 lbs more in the same amount of time, I had to busted my butt to get there.

    Last night I watched him eat 4 frozen fruit bars, 3 soft pretzels with cheese, and some kind of alfredo noodle bowl thing. And that was all after we had dinner. :noway: I wanted to hit him. :explode:

    i'm a guy and from what i know about women i can honestly say i know very little b/c a women can be so in touch with their emotions and yet feel so bad about themselves...i only wish that women could see how beautiful they really are to us bf's and hubbies from the inside out. and i do wish i could do more to help my wife from the outside in...i guess patience and understanding will have to do for now GL to all of u and talk to ur significant others often enouph to help them understand ur pain...Men are hardheaded and so lost most the time but even stone can be transformed into art =)

    Please don't ever say that! lol Being a woman is so much more rewarding than being a man...no offense, guys. When it comes down to it, we're all enduring the human struggle together.

    As any guy would admit- they have their issues too. Like losing their hair!

    haha, because women aren't capable of losing hair? I didn't start this thread, I was just in agreement with the other ladies, haha.

    Not really. I have a full head of hair. I just chose to use my own clippers and shave my headoff, cause its free. Well accept that I bought the clippers for 20 bucks. It paid itself off like 8 years ago. How much does it cost for you to get your hair done? *snickering*

    Give him a month of getting up at 2, 4, and 6 am every day after the pregnancy. He'll get skinny soon enough. :wink:

    Guys get away with that for a while, but it'll hit him like a ton of bricks when he gets to middle age. Seen it with my husband and lots of our friends. Of course losing weight gets harder for middle-aged women too :grumble:

    I REALLY hat how it's more socially acceptable for a man to be fat than a woman... women 'have' to be skinny and beautiful ALL of the time to be accepted. not men... i don't know about you ladies, but i also feel the burden of a relationship is a major stress factor... we have to work full time to help pay the bills, we have ANOTHER full time job keeping the house clean and cooking dinner, and then if you have kids, then you have those to chase after when you're finished all that! but, your husband had a 'stressful' day at work... so that apparently exempts him from responsibility...

    sorry.. had to get that out.. chocolate withdrawal.

    A little off topic but this is what I thought of....

    When I saw your topic, all I could think about was this calendar that was done as a fund raiser for the American Cancer Society - my brother is MRS APRIL - yes I said MRS - it's all community male "leaders" (he's a NARC Cop) dressed up as girls - they parade around at Relay for Life and also raise money - besides just the calendar - whoever collects the most that night earns the title Ms Relay - my brother - the tuff cop has won 2 years in a row!! It's a great cause but there are actually people that are mad about it since they are "cross dressed"...it's all in fun and such a great cause.

    I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but sounds like you guys need to work on working together as a team, instead of creating the preverbial "scoreboard" as I call it.

    My wife works part-time. I work full-time plus military duties through the month and training in the summer. Not to mention deployments. I don't complain about this. Its my job. I freaking volunteered to do both, thats my labor. I also do the yard work, I pay all the bills, I take care of the vehicles, I fix the hosue when it breaks. Why? Cause someone has to do it.

    My wife and I BOTH clean up the house when we can. We both switch off cooking. She pretty much does the grocery shopping. Now does that sound like equal duties? not really, but *kitten* has to get done and get done properly. Its about working together, not cutting down the other person; no matter what their gender is.

    Though I agree kids are a job, I can't stand it when people use their kids "an an excuse" for needing a break. Shoulda thought about that before you had them. Thats my beef.

    During a date only the woman knows if sex is in the future.


    Advantage - - - Woman.

    Old comedy line,,,

    "A woman's basic expectation for a date is far far better than a man's wildest dream...

    Imagine it guys - a woman dresses up, washes her car and details the interior. She comes to your house and picks you up. Takes you to a movie. Takes you out for dinner. Pays for everything. Then she tries to get you drunk and have sex with you... - - - Wouldn't that be awesome!?!?!?"
