WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED

[christie1111]

( a rebuttle of sorts)

Men Are Just Happier People--

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.
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 cut, blister, or mangle your feet.
One mood all the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
You know stuff about tanks and engines. 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.
Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack.
You never have strap problems in public.
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.
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.

I wish this were true in my job, but alas it is just the opposite.....

One of the Jokemaster's jokes at Toastmasters today was along these lines, about the differences between men and women.

One of them wasn't funny -- it said that any woman claiming to be a sports fan and watching the game with the guys would be considered to be a SPY unless she could speak knowledgeably about the game AND unless she could drink as much beer as everybody else. I could probably drink as much Montrachet 1978 from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti as everybody else, also as much 1787 Chateau d'Yquem as they do.

But not as much beer.



P.S. I googled those expensive wines, I am no oenophile.

In an odd little role reversal, I like football and my husband couldn't care less about it. Before we started dating, he had invited me to his place to watch the Superbowl. Little did I know until the following season that he only used that as a ruse to spend time with me, and had absolutely no interest in the game. I laughed and told him it sounded like something a chick would do!

I'm pretty sure that bix and her girlfriend are bigger football fans than their husbands.

Ha! It might be if we ever watched movies anymore. Seems we spend too much time catching up on DVR viewing.

I realize, Christie, you meant this topic of why men are never depressed as a joke, but I did see on the news that the portion of the brain that deals with worry is larger in women, implying that is why women tend to worry more, which leads to unhappiness.
I also saw on the same news show that a woman's happiness generally declines as she ages, while a man's increases. I believe the commentator said a woman's happiness declines because children move away. A man's generally increases, if he retires comfortably, due to financial reasons.
