i constantly tell my husband how much he sucks. We started working out at the same time and he has lost like 35 almost 40 pounds. Guys completely suck!!!!!!!0

Hey Hey Hey! We women are strong! We can take childbirth because we can handle the pain, we can take menopause because our body can handle the change, we take menstruation because our body can handle the responsibilities of giving life and we can take breasts because our body can handle the weight.
Yeah we don't burn as many calories but that's because we can handle the extra workout and we have the self control to stay at our calories goals.
So don't be discouraged.
Men have it easy because they can't handle it hard.
So yeah, it feels amazing to be queen, it may be hard....but that's because we can handle it.
Mostly agree with this, it's a bit of a stretch to say all men can't handle hard because there are a few but they aren't as common as I'd like.0 -
Well, all I know is I have two heads, both are bald, one is blind, and the other needs contacts.
Plus there's peeing standing up.
What I wouldnt do for this
The shower is a woman's urinal.
I lost a bet when a girl showed me how she can pee standing up and the calorie thing...we have two brains to feed! Oh yes ladies it thinks for itself!0 -
I hate you! :happy:=D being a 220 lb man that works out, I get to eat about 3000 calories and not worry about gaining so long as my workout happened.
It's nice.0 -

What a bunch of femenist bull crap.
If tearing others (men) down makes you feel better about yourself, that's just sad.
Dude...do you need a hug this morning?
Not really, but a hug is always nice. :happy:
I just can't handle people being discrimnatory. :sick:0 -
I really don't get this. It has always baffled me. Why what someone else gets or has matters. My neighbor has a beautiful new truck and can afford to put gas in it, good for him. I know people that don't work nearly as hard as I do that make a lot more money. Good for them. Some people have more calories, some less, good for them. I just guess I don't get being jealous of others or what they have. What works for them works, what works for me works. I am glad that they are successful, even more so if it doesn't take a great deal of effort.
Just my outlook.
ok, this is what is going on in the woman's head:
-yay, I'm doing good, I'm on track, I'm doing it, I'm doing it!
-oh look, my Other Half wants to join, nice!
-dinner time! we make the portions nicely even: for the bigger one (the guy, that is) more calories because he needs it... Calories all on track!
-excercise time! we go do the same amount of time, slightly different things though proportionally the same effort.
-Weighing time! I step on the scales: no change. I suppose that's good enough, at least I didn't gain... he steps on the scale: 4 lb difference!
*bang head against wall and cry alone in misery* Makes one wonder if that saying by Margaret Thatcher: "In order for a woman to be successful, she must work twice as hard as a man" is really true in EVERY aspect of life.
It's not so much an envy thing as it is a self-loathing thing which you really don't want to admit because overall, you know you're doing well and at least you didn't gain, but godDAMNIT somebody is doing something by magic!0 -

Geez.......there's always atleast one person who'll come along and pee on the party.
Lighten up....it's all in fun. We're not in church!!0 -

plus we don't feel the need to complain about something every 30 seconds, maybe there's a link between whining and weight gain...0

There are perks to being a woman! We shop better, we get free drinks at bars, and we never have to learn how to do anything as long as you have short shorts and nice legs (though I think smart women are sexy).
Don't forget the bedroom perks. Every woman is like an underground oil reserve...just waiting around to be drilled :blushing:0 -
GRR! As if women don't already have to deal with menstruating and menopause and childbirth and BOOBS, for goodness sake.
Ok. End rant.
Just so we're clear, we men generally have to deal with the END RESULT of the menstruating, the menopause, and the childbirth. BOOBS are our consolation prize. We take the small victories where we get them; so we don't exactly get off scot-free here. Just saying, not hating....................

You know when people type lol when they just barely smirked? This isn't one of those times. I nearly dropped my ****ing coffee over this. May I use this in the future?0 -

Men can't handle hard? Really? Childbirth is going to serve as the scapegoat here, and rightfully so - but don't make a broad statement like that when it's a "fun" thread. It makes you sound hateful.0 -

What I find funny about this post is how you seem to enjoy tearing down other posters in almost every thread you post in.0 -

Good Lord...no kidding. I would like to see a man deal with TOM too. I never thought it was fair that men have nothing like that to deal with. Unless they do...then by all means, educate me.

Oh yeah, and ignorant.0 -
Ugh! I know what you mean.
My boyfriend is SO unhealthy. He eats crap. as many calories as he wants and doesn't deliberately exercise. Meanwhile, he's skinny as a rail and I've been at a plateau for nine months now, despite working out like crazy and eating extremely healthy and counting calories. Makes me want to kick him!
I think you are right when you say "My boyfriend is SO unhealthy". Don't forget that weight is not a predictor of health. Plenty of skinny people die at age 50 from heart disease, cancer, liver failure.
Oh, I'm aware. He also smokes and drinks too much. I'll probably outlive him assuming no speeding buses come along. :-) But I want to outlive him in a thin, toned body!!!0 -
ah the differences between men and women. Some things, no matter how hard we try to be equal, will just not be the same between us. For me it's nothing to get frustrated or aggravated about. I encourage my husband to eat more. He was trying to keep up with me because "dieting by yourself is no fun" but he was so lethargic and moody. I armed myself with some websites and medical studies and a couple of boards here and explained why he can not sustain himself on 1200-1400 calories a day! Then gave him an extra serving of veggies and a half extra piece of chicken at dinner. He looked at his plate and then at mine and said "is this fair?" I said "No, but you need it, I don't"
just the way the cookie crumbles for me
This precisely... if its so universally easy for men, shouldn't they all look like an Adonis? But they don't, it's not easy for anyone.0 -
I agree, hindsight is 20/20, I really didn't see it as hateful when I wrote it.
Men also have many aspects of strength. I didn't post as saying men were a bunch of wimps but I was just seeing many comments about what made men so awesome.0 -
HAHA. Wow I love how this has exploded and turned into something feminist and ridiculous of sorts.. No more joking talks for MFP in the morning, apparently!!!0
-
Yeah, well when women put on a little weight, they still look all curvy and sexy, but when men put on weight, it just goes to the belly so we look like a beach ball with legs.0
-
I am having the same problem! my boyfriend joined calorie counter and i was on MFP, but since MFP had more food choices in their log, he switched over with me. He lost 5-6lbs just cutting out soda.. he started eating healthier but he NEVER needs all his calories.
I, on the other hand, is having the hardest time trying to eat 1200cals!! I work out 3-4 times a week doing at least 30 mins of cardio. I'm doing the Couch to 5K also. I also do an aerobics class (kickboxing, etc.) a week. So if I don't work out, I wont be able to stay within my calorie limits.
Honestly, I don't always eat healthy every day, but I do try to when I'm at work which is from 6am-4pm.. with travel time, i'm out from 5am-5pm. 12 hours! 1200 calories!0 -

I really didn't think I'd be attacked about the comment. The poster was just talking about how what women go through was so hard. I don't think men are wimps or anything and of course they many aspects of strength physically and mentally.
I was just seeing a bunch of comments about how being a man was so awesome.
I wasn't serious about the post or trying to make anyone feel less. I found it more so as a joke than anything.
But if you or anyone else didn't like it then I apologize.0 -
ADVANTAGES TO BEING A WOMAN!!
We can be attracted to someone just because they're really funny.
We can borrow your spouse's clothes and it doesn't mean you belong on Jerry Springer.
After we shower, the bathroom will smell like a tropical rain forest.
We have better restrooms. We get the nice chairs and red carpet. Men just get a large bowl to share.
We can cry without pretending there's something in our contact.
We actually get extra points for sitting on our butt, watching sports.
If we are a lousy athlete, we don't have to question your worth as a human being.:sad:
In high school, we never had to walk down the hall with our binder strategically positioned.:blushing:
If we are not very attractive, we can fool 'em with makeup.
If we use self-tanner, it doesn't necessarily mean we are a big loser.
We could possibly live our whole life without ever taking a group shower.:noway:
We don't have to fart to amuse ourselves.:laugh:
When we take off your shoes, nobody passes out.
If the person we are dating is much better at something than we are, we don't have to break up with them.
If we are dumb, some people will find it cute.
We don't have to memorize Caddyshack or Fletch to fit in.
We can dress ourselves.
We don't have to pretend to like cigars.:smokin:
We are rarely compelled to scream at the TV.:mad:
We and our friends don't have to get totally wasted in order to share our feelings.:drinker:
If we pick up the check once in a while, that's plenty.
Sometimes, chocolate truly can solve all our problems.
If we are under 6', we don't have to lie about it.
We will never regret piercing our ears.
If we have big ears, no one has to know.
We don't have hair on our back.
Our hair is ours to keep.
If we ARE bald, people will think you did it on purpose, and we are really chic.
If anything on our body isn't as big as it should be, we can get implants.0
