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 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 service station toilet 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. Suit rental-£100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. 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 holiday 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 are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original colour. 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. Your belly usually hides your big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one colour 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 moustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.
No wonder men are happier

And I have literally made my husband drive to another services looking for better toilets.

Yes all valid points but I'm happy to be a woman ta
You're right: men are simpler creatures. We're just happy if we can get laid once in a while; with, perhaps, an ice cold beer or two later. Anything after that is a bonus.
I know you probably didn't mean but that's a little patronising.
Sorry if that's the case, but how I'd genuinely like to know ?
You're suggesting that we're so gullible that reading a magazine makes us think we can have it all.
It's not just magazines, that's simply one example.
You don't believe that modern women have been led to expect a great deal form life ?
The career, kids, wealth, health, looks (including a totally unrealistic idea of the ideal figure) and finally the perfect mate.
......
I'd consider myself a bit of a modern woman and I don't think there's anything wrong with expecting a great deal from life. Magazines and the media haven't contributed to those expectations. What do think women should expect from life?
hole...digging...deeper...
Have you ever read the personal colums ?
If you have a pulse you're in with a chance for most men. On the other hand, the list of requirements set out by most women is daunting. Then they wonder why they've had few takers.
Sorry, I missed this post.
There's nothing wrong with expecting a great deal so long as you're prepared for disappointment. I'm saying a more realistic approach is needed.
us men( i am coz of my barmitzvah) we get ready in two seconds grils tak centurys.
we go in a shop we knopw what we want dnt look for agessss
That's certainly a theory to support the idea that men who use personal ads are more desperate than women who use personal ads; I thought this thread was about their relative levels of happiness, not desperation, though?
It is about that, and it's my theory that the raised expectations of women contributes to their lack of happiness. That's all.
Did you ever see Groundhog Day and the scene where Andie MacDowell is describing the man she'd like to one day meet and marry ? He has to be strong, kind, sensitive (not afraid of his feminine side), good looking, good with children, intelligent have a strong sense of humour and be able to play a musical instrument........lol Maybe just a joke, but you get the idea.
