Why Men are Happier People

I received this email — made me pause for a bit and laugh — earlier this week. Curious? Well, reading about “why men are happier people” will tickle your funny bone. At least, it did mine.
It highlighted certain things that somewhat proves just how they are happier. While most claim that women are baggage-ridden, emotional beings, this email tells us that men are happy and carefree beings.
I couldn’t help but nod in agreement on some parts. I hope all you guys out there won’t take offence when you read this. Just think that it’s all in good fun. Hehe.
Anyway, I’ll let you be the judge if this has any truth in it —
Men Are Just Happier People– What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don’t have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you’re talking to them. New shoes don’t cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.
Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.
You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes — one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can “do” your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.
You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.
No wonder men are happier.
There are things you’d fail to realise if you don’t put the bits together. Just like this. Makes you understand the gender, eh? LOL.
So, what do you think? Are men truly the happier bunch as this message says?
Reminds me of a joke I heard: Many men dream of having a harem, a place where multiple women are available to fulfill the man’s needs. Women never dream of having a harem of men, because it means having more people to pick up after.
That ought to be part of this discussion alright. LOL. XD
Men are happier, not only because we’re “simple creatures” as this post says, but because we try to keep things simple.
“Wedding plans take care of themselves” because all we care about is whether or not we get married.
“Chocolate is just another snack” because everything we eat will make us fat, and all the exercise we get will get us back to normal weight.
“Car mechanics tell you the truth” because we actually try to understand how cars work.
“New shoes don’t cut, blister, or mangle your feet” because comfort comes before style.
“Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat” because phone concersations will cover one topic, maybe two, then they’re done.
“You know stuff about tanks” because we’ve dreamt of driving one since we were five.
“A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase” because we don’t need a whole new outfit (including shoes) for every situation that might come up in the next five days.
“If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend” because we don’t really care about that – as long as we get along and have common interests, we’re good.
“You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes” because again, comfort comes before style.
The thing about never having to care about an icky bathroom is true only for some cases. The world is our urinal, yes, but I can’t do the deuce in a filthy toilet.
Again, the point is we’re happier because we try to keep things as simple as possible.
One mood all the time? Hmm. Which guys is the writer hanging out with?

Can’t help but laugh out loud (literally). But you do make a nice point. Cleared things up. XD

Does make you wonder, eh? I guess it can also mean, “unaffected”. What do you think?
