Who has more advantages in life?

Personally, I like a guy who can be sensitive, not one who feels he has to be tough all the time, but that's what society expects.

I think people in general find bad boys (and girls) exciting and/or intriguing, at least for a while.

Guys definitely have the upper hand in society. No doubt in MHO.

Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."

Of course I like bad boys...that's a typical fantasy of all girls. But skydivers take that fantasy and throw it out the window. Or at least one does.
But remember, even a lot of bad boys have a sensitive side that no one is allowed to see so they can keep up their image for society, where a bad girl can break down every once in awhile, and it's okay because she's a girl.

I think it depends on the situation... Sometimes it seems like men are taken more seriously just because they are men, but there are definitely opportunities that women have simply because they are women (but usually only the good-looking women it seems)... So I think in society that men are usually judged on both their brains and brawn, whereas women are judged on their looks and sometimes their brains, and opportunities are offered accordingly... not necessarily fair, but that's the way it seems to me...

I think it's changing every day though, getting closer to the "equal opportunity" thing... The more we depend on our brains, in a technologically advanced society, the more "equal" we will become (I believe)...

How many times have you seen people point to the sensitive guy and say "oh, he must be gay"?

Yeah, clichee.
But i'm sure in a near future it'll be no more important or make a difference if you're hetero or homo. We'll all be multisexual then, and the only thing that counts is how many you've trapped in your bed

have a nice weekend and blue skies!

The problem with the advantage that women have is that in many cases it's demeaning to use it.

Yes, a girl can get lots of things for showing her tits or whatever. Respect isn't usually one of them, neither are increased responsibility where it can lead to a more satisfying life, interesting job, or more pay.

So I guess it depends on whether you're in it for the short term or the long term. Even if I could get away with, um, 'using my feminine wiles' I'd probably see it as manipulative and think less of myself for having done it.

Ah well -- there's always that sex-change operation I've been saving up for

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Yes, this is a problem, especially since looks will be considered first. Being blonde, it's very hard to be taken seriously long enough to prove that I have any brains. I won't claim to be a genius, but I'm pretty smart and well rounded in my knowledge, so this is one disadvantage I see women having.

Yeah, I think it's a mixed blessing if you're so-called "good-looking" as a woman... You're usually gonna be judged on your looks before anyone even thinks about your brain... which might offer more "opportunities" for you in the long run, but might keep your "brain" from ever being used to its full potential... but we all have our own challenges in life, so I guess the key is to make the best of whatever you've got... and if someone offers you an "opportunity" based on your looks, then take it and make the most of it with your brain...

Wait a minute, I'm gonna call shenanigan on this one. Yeah, it's true, but it's also true on the men's side as well.

Take a look at who got elected to leadership positions in this country before and after the widespread use of television.

You can make that dividing line the the Kennedy-Nixon Debate.

"Good looking" people of both sexes have huge advantages far beyond those afforded to the other 90 percent of us.

Ok, I'll agree on that one... I guess my point was - Life is NOT fair... use WHATEVER you've got... looks, brains, or both!

But I think men and women have equal, yet different, advantages in life... I guess it all depends on who you know and how you look at it??? Sometimes I feel disadvantaged being a woman, yet other times I feel the opposite - all depends on the situation.

Ah no no no...many women do not need to approach anything close to "showing their tits" to reach certain goals.

I didn't mean that women have an advantage via demeaning method. I simply mean that women in many general ways and many specific ways (ie affirmative action) have certain advantages.

Some of these advantages are due to women simply being women, but some advantages exist because of the establishment.

As long as men are in power there will always be jobs for beautiful women. Therefore the unemployment rate for attractive women will remain low.

I also want to add that dumb blondes have benefitted from men in the workplace. Dumb blondes have been gainfully employed for years because of this.

I definately think women have more advantages. I don't know if its a good or a bad thing, but they can get into clubs at a younger age, they have to be 18 +, we have to wait til were 21, they get more leaneancy for the simple fact they were born with a vagina, and lastly i hear that they have toiletry napkins available in the bathroom. Now when i make myself comfy to drop a #2 id like a toiletry napkin. Do i hear a hell yeah? Not only that, most lesbians are hot...thus if your a woman u can be a lesbian and have more of a chance of hooking up. I think the real question is......who has more advantages...male female niether...or hermaphrodite

Procrastination is like masturbation it feels good while your doing it but in the end you realize your only fucking urself

Statement without opinion:
I'm guessing you mean in TODAY's World.
I have yet to see a Scholarship offered to public schools for state colleges "For males only" or: a single fathers fund, a publicized court case of husband abuse then made into a movie, any Pro-male story on LIFETIME or an ENTIRE network just for men.
FACT:
If a woman(ages 5yrs old to 90: M&F) comes up and sneaks a kiss to a guy she thinks is cute, it is flirty, a male does the same act and it sexual assault (age 5 on up)
******This was all brought to my attention by a woman.===read: "Bringing up Boys"

Life in general? Women have the advantage.

I agree, PU$$&^% is a powerful thing...

edit to add: Men fall for and will always continue to fall for it.
