Men are just happier people

Men (throughout their lives) Are Just Happier People.

What do you expect from such simple creatures? Wedding plans take care of themselves. Your last name stays put. Tux rental $100 - a wedding dress $5000. The garage is all yours. Chocolate is just another snack. You never get pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. Hell, 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. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't pinch, 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. Two pairs of shoes are more than enough. You never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its natural color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck – or maybe nothing at all.

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 Just Happier People.

But maybe it’s valuable to consider other differences between women and men:

If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Bubba and Wildman.

When Laura, Kate and Sarah get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
