What’s it like being a man?

I’ve been pondering something for a while. What’s it like being a man?
Now, I totally get that y’all can find it difficult to answer that question since none of y’all have been women, but I’m really curious about it.

What’s it like being tall, like 6’2” or even taller? Reaching everything without having to use a box or a stool? Or being able to operate your cell phone using only one hand?

This is not a joke. I’m really curious.

On behalf of all the short men with small hands in the world, I personally want to thank you for implying that only tall, large handed males are "men".

Well, seeing how I'm 6' 1 1/2" tall, I can tell you that height has both its advantages and disadvantages.

On the one hand, yes, I can reach most things without the use of a box, stool, or even a ladder, and I'm often asked by women at the grocery store to grab something for them off of a top shelf.

On the other hand, however, I've also OFTENTIMES bumped my head on things that other people wouldn't bump their heads on because they're shorter, and I've split my head open (never needed stitches, but blood still poured down upon my face) on more than one occasion. Probably the worst one (although no blood spilled that time) was when I was helping a friend carry a sofa down his driveway. Well, I didn't see the air conditioner in his neighbor's window, and the pointed edge of it caught me right in my temple while I was walking at a brisk pace. It could have literally killed me, but obviously it didn't.

I recall another time when I ran down the stairs and into a friend's basement.

Low hanging pipe from the ceiling right around the corner.

Big ouch.

A semi-decapitation.

Then there's the time that I was playing "Man hunt" as a teenager. I was chasing someone at night, while running through someone's backyard. He was about a foot shorter than I was at the time, and I didn't see the person's clothesline strung across their backyard.

Yep.

It caught me right under my nose.

Back flip in the air before landing flat on my back.

Big red rope burn under my nose/across my face for about two weeks.

Shall I go on (I easily could)?

Like I said, height has both its advantages and disadvantages.

Anyhow, your questions seem more geared to things related to a man's physical attributes.

Had you asked a more general question in relation to what it's like to be a man, then I'd tell you that it's very difficult at times.

I obviously cannot speak on behalf of all men, but I can assure you that I've been wrongly stereotyped, simply because I'm a man, A MULTITUDE OF TIMES throughout my life. In fact, almost daily in one type of situation or another.

In other words, just because a lot of men truly do suck, a lot of women automatically assume that all men suck, and that's simply not the case.

As a born again Christian man, I've spent the last 33+ years genuinely seeking God while allowing him to fashion me into that which a true man should be.

Where has it gotten me?

Well, I'm in good with God, but I'm still wrongly stereotyped by people (and not just women) constantly.

It is what it is.

On a totally unrelated note (and, as strange as this might sound, I've thought about this several times in the past), for some unknown reason, I like your profile picture the best out of all the ones I've seen here. I honestly don't know if it's representative of some character or not, but I just like it.

For whatever that's worth (probably nothing...lol).

Men are generally good at the things women suck at and most women are good at the things men suck at.

I’m sorry about that. It sort of came out in the wrong way. I didn’t think before typing (per usual). 🥰🤗

And so far I've found that being a woman who's good at the things men are generally good at doesn't get you many dates. But it does have all the men really disliking you anytime you play one of those battle of the sexes games.

Hmmmmm..... How about arm wrestling?

I'm sure she didn't mean anything by that Number 1. So get up out of your chair and stand up with the men!

oh....wait. You were already standing..... my bad.

Yeah but on the upside, you don't really need to find a man.
