Has anyone ever read this?

Anyway, here it is



Why men can't win


If you work too hard, there's never enough time for her, if you don't work enough, your a good for nothing bum

If you try to keep yourself in shape, your vain, if you don't then you are a slob

If you buy her flowers, your after something and if you don't your not thoughtful

If you cry, your a wimp, if you don't your an insensitive bastard

If you are proud of your achievements your an egomonster if you arent you aren't ambitious/a good provider

If you tell her how good she looks, it can be sexual harassment, if you dont you obviously won't get anywhere (ie date, sex, relationship)anyway

at a job, If you get promoted ahead of her, its sexism and if she gets promoted ahead of you it's equal opportunity

I can never seem to find a nice middle ground in between all of the above extremes. Even if I try and "live in moderation," I always get carried away with something and veer off towards an extreme until I crash and burn. With a girl, I just can't stay somewhere in that middle range. For example: I can't sense when being complimentary veers into the realm of obvious flattery or over-praise. And if I try to tone down the compliments, I come off as insensitive. Normal people can sense when they are crossing a line.

I'm not so sure about that, more that they just don't analyse it so much. We've all got to be somewhere on those scales, so why worry?

Do men really exist for any reason other than to please women? :wink:

men get to suffer under stereotypes and impossible expectations just as women do . . .

I have hated myself due to my sex and I felt my reproductive organs should have been cut off. I have heard of neurotypical women go typical man this or all men are w*kers even in front of me (even my mum) it is an absolute disgrace to be treated like this. When I was younger I have been expected to have been expected to drink alcohol in excessive quantities like it's some competitive sport. Not only that I have been expected to be good with my hands as in doing manual work all this just because of a different anatomy it's stupid isn't it. in the 1970's and 80's neurotypicals at school used to call boys by their surnames which is rude and was then it is also very sexist as girls weren't. SOmetimes I wished I was born a girl :idea:

Yup. I have no doubt the females could come up with an equivalent list. Different in detail, but the same.
