There’s no denying that men and women were made differently.
For instance, only one gender can pee standing up, while the other has the reproductive powers to create human life. And so on and so forth.
RELATED STORIES
These “benefits” were recently discussed in a viral Reddit thread. There, both genders got real on the simple pleasures the opposite sex can’t experience.
Prepare for some shocking answers!
The amount of camaraderie from drunk girls in a bathroom
Oh, how real this is! A quick shoutout to all the amazing women we’ve met over the years!
Thanks to brave drunkenness, you go from complete strangers to besties in two seconds flat.
Ice in the urinal
“When you’re in a bar and they put the leftover ice cubes in the urinal, and you make a game of how many of them you can melt before you run out of pee.” – u/ Beginning-Bed9364
Taking out a tight ponytail
While guys with long hair can also experience this, this one’s mainly for the females. The feeling is very similar to taking a bra off after a long day. So. Freeing!
The pee shivers
“Do guys get pee shivers? You’ve had to pee really bad and you finally get to and just… Shivers. Maybe I’m the only weirdo that kind of enjoys that feeling haha.” – u/ Glitchedme
Cupping your boobs when running downstairs
Shoutout to the big-chested ladies! Since our chest will hurt if we don’t do this, this is more out of need than a want. It’s the same when doing jumping jacks.
Stroking your beard just because
Does this make men look smarter? Many think so! Some men believe it helps them think smarter, too, as they notice they do it during times of deep thought.
The traveling pee
One male shared that he relishes the feeling of peeing off of a tall cliff. Must be nice!
Unfortunately, most girls will never experience that. We’re too busy trying not to pee on our shoes while we squat in the woods.
Knowing that PMS-related depression is short-lived
“I like leaning into it sometimes. It’s nice to know that life is actually good and it’s just short term feelings because of hormones, but it also feels so good to cry and to just let myself feel all the moodiness.” – u/ FireflyBSc
A fresh buzzcut
According to men, the feeling of a fresh cut is magical. It’s fun to rub your hands on and it keeps your pillowcases clean. Some men also talked wondrous things about the first shower post buzzcut.
Getting called “cute” as an adult
“Not many guys get called cute and some even find it insulting. But as a woman I like the feeling of being called cute.” – u/ SnowballinHell247
Getting to put their phone in their pocket
While a lot of girls love outfits with pockets, few items are big enough to fit a big smartphone.
Guy clothes, on the other hand, are built to hold everything from a man’s phone to a wallet to keys to the kitchen sink.
Holding the girls
“Omg just holding one’s tits is just so relaxing. Just stress balls attached to my chest. I’ve done it sometimes when I think my fiancé is asleep and all of a sudden I hear him ask, “why are you holding your tits whispering ‘bewbies??'” – u/ LeeThePhoenix
The smooth glide of freshly shaved legs on crisp clean sheets
Ahh! This is the scene razor companies should be showcasing in their commercials!
Even though it’s short-lived (damn you, stubble!), it’s such a good feeling.
Not getting hit on or cat-called in public
“I’m sure most women would envy how it never happens to men. So I guess the simple pleasure would be just getting out of the house, minding your own business and going about your day.” – u/ mwm1980
Scratching their “men”
A lot of men mentioned this. Ball-holding is basically the same as women holding their chests for comfort. It’s relaxing, warm, and feels good when you itch it just so.
Feeling small in someone else’s arms
“My husband is bigger than me and I’ve now become dependent on his body for sleep. Curling into his warm enveloping embrace is a pleasure I want everyone to know at least once. Hugs and cuddles. The safety and comfort are immeasurable.” – u/ katz332
Night walks
“I really love night walks. When I was in college I would sometimes walk on trails as late as like 2 am. Didn’t even really realize this was a big deal until I mentioned it to one of my female friends and her jaw dropped.” – u/ datdonutboi
Getting asked out on dates and receiving flowers
It’s rare for men to be on the receiving end of these gestures, same with being treated to dinner.
Even shows like Bridgerton show that it’s the women who are romantically courted.
Feeling your child move inside you when pregnant
“I loved this. Towards the end when they had proper limbs, my husband would spend 15 minutes watching my belly after dinner like it was a TV show. And he’d sometime feel around to identify a knee or feet. He always seemed an odd mix of awed, jealous, and horrified at the same time.” – u/ pah1027
