Men. Things they're good for

A friend just reminded me this morning that boys are weird. Add to that the fact that we know they’re smelly, and we’re faced with the questions: What are men actually good for?

Ok, ok. That was a bit cheeky, but I mean it seriously.

So here’s a question to women: What is it you need men for? What is it you prefer men to do/provide, that you don’t want to do yourself? What do you think men (or A man) do better than you? etc.

This isn’t one of those cases where you get to say “Nothing besides sperm. Women can do anything men can!” etc. That’s so old and boring, can we please skip that?! :slight_smile:

I don’t want men to feel left out, so here’s a question to you guys: What is it you think women need you for? What is it you think you should always be doing instead of women? What is your exclusive role? etc.

I’ll start us off:

In ballroom dancing, I hate to be stuck in a couple with another girl. Men are better at being the male part of the dance couple. (if they don’t suck at it)

So you’re not restricting this to straight men then?

Asian women need men to take the trash out, I have never met one who does it herself.

Manual labour and killing bugs.

hmm…

Massage.
Kissing.

Paying the bills.

I think that’s it.

I’m apparently good for fixing things. :stuck_out_tongue:

5

The rock-like steadiness of the male temperament is needed as a calming influence on the emotional female mind.

6

Putting the worms on the hook and gutting the fish.

7

Pointing at and laughing.

Helping choose a new pair of shoes.

Telling you don’t look fat in that dress.

Hokay, seriously,

Balance. Some yang for your yin.

Men? We a pillar of stability for our fragile female counterparts.

You mean you didn’t know? :astonished:

  • Tash were would women be without engineers?

That’s possibly the key. I have no yang. Absolutely zero. (Which is why I always go for the super-zingy-yang types, even though deep down we despise eachother. Or not so deep down). We’re looking for someone to fill our holes. Double entendre not intended.

Boys, boys. There are the ones you fuck so they will become your friend, there are the ones you become friends with so you can fuck. There are the ones we fuck for no reasons at all. The others become your fathers or sons. Few ever become your brothers or teachers.

And there are the ones who fix your computer. In the modern age, however, a Mac is more important than a vibrator. I don’t care if things are broken or how I look in the dress.

Dunno. Dunno.

if you fold them just right you can squeeze them under the door to stop it from slamming when the wind blows.

they can carry lots of shopping bags.

For you Buttercup:

I know something men can do (waving hand frantically like a Sweathog)

…me…pick me… oooh…oooh…oooh.

We can pee out of moving vehicles and do cock push ups. Two very valueable skills that I use frequently.

I know something me DON"T do, we don’t cry when we are tired or compare clothes with other men.

“Yo Frank, check out that A-hole in the jeans, he looks like a slut who just rolled through a Salvation Army.”

15

they have credit cards when yours are full…apparently…erm I heard this after the wedding!

16

Toesave, there’s a cockroach on the floor.

17

We’re god’s gift to ugly women.

18

Women need men to help them squeeze their boobies when they have their hands full doing other things.

19

Eh? Fit burds don’t need men? I’d always believed pretty girls to be more needy because they have less practice at doing things for themselves. (Sorry, pretty girls)

And Tom, squeezing your own is like tickling yourself. Doesn’t really work, otherwise we’d never go out.

Actually, after a brain clarifying pot of chamomile tea, I think boys are best if you just look at their bums.
