You may have heard, “anything guys can do, girls can do better!
This isn’t just a saying. In many cases, it’s true! Considering everything we have to deal with on a daily basis, it’s only fair that some things are easier for us than men .
RELATED STORIES
This includes meeting people, getting free drinks , and more. Say it with me now: girl power!
Surviving the NICU.
This Redditor wrote that girls do much better in the NICU than boys do and tend to have less health complications.
Multiple studies have found this to be true. One study found that female infants independently orally fed one day earlier than males.
Carry anything on their hip.
“I worked in a banquet kitchen and was able to carry two bowls at a time. Dudes had to take two trips because they didn’t have the hips. It is definitely handy.” – u/cat_at_your_feet
Physical contact.
“If I feel like it if I need a hug, I can just cuddle with my girlfriends. I don’t think its that easy for guys…” – u/LisslO_o. If most men tried this, their friends would be freaked out.
Hiding their sexual arousal.
Poor men! If they’re feeling a certain sort of way, they certainly “show” it. This includes at the worst times, like out in public. Sometimes they can’t even stand up until things calm down.
Working with children.
“As someone who works in early childhood education I’ve had the cops called on me three times when I took my kiddos to the park.” – u/CaucasianDelegation.
Some people see an adult man interacting with children and instantly think “predator.”
Getting hit in the private parts.
While it certainly won’t feel great (there is still bone down there), it’s not as bad as the pain men experience. Don’t believe us? Try it on a man in your life and see! Kidding!
Complimenting a complete stranger.
“As a dude, I have to very careful complimenting strangers. I will actually tell my wife, ‘check her hair out, it’s super cool. Will you tell her?’ And she will, and it made that stranger’s day. Just wish I could do that more often without being seen as creepy.” -u/Mikey_Boy
Changing babies in public.
Since many men’s rooms don’t have baby changing stations, they’re out of luck. It’s also seen as weird if a man brings a little girl into the washroom with them, yet females bring their young sons with them.
Buying hygiene products.
“Small thing but telling what a lotion/deodorant/body wash/shampoo smells like by the label. Women’s is just labeled like vanilla or lavender but men’s get dumb names like wolf hawk or champion.” – u/WeavBOS
Wearing another gender’s clothing.
“Yep, this is one that has always been weird to me – most people don’t bat an eye if women wear looser pants, longer shorts, etc… but if a guy was to wear a skirt, tube top or any ‘women’s clothing’, people WILL notice.” – u/sahzoom
Knowing for certain that the baby is yours.
Have you ever seen a woman not know if the baby was hers on Maury ? We didn’t think so. Unless the woman somehow stole a baby from the hospital, it’s a good chance it’s hers.
Serving tables at a restaurant.
“While the overall sales between the men and women servers are about the same, the women get tipped much higher. People seem to have a better time at restaurants if their server is a woman.” – u/FourStringTap
Getting matches on a dating app.
“I made a fake female account in my small town with some friends, that were women. Immediately had dozens of matches. The profile picture was of a dog. The fake account was flooded with messages from dudes. While my actual account as a male never saw a single match.” -u/ToohotmaGandhi
Getting support from others.
Sadly, a lot of men feel alone in their suffering. when they reach out to help, they’re often told to “tough it out” and “be a man.” Meanwhile, women are accepted and supported for their emotions.
Going to a playground to hang out.
“I used to just go to the park and chill on the swings since it was relaxing…..I doubt a man my age doing that could do that without being labeled a p*******e or something.” – u/jojobi040
Working in mechanics.
“Women generally have smaller hands, making it easier for them to dip in and out of an engine bay. So if you’re a woman and some man says you don’t belong in the shop, I want you to own that shop and his job in the next 10 years.” – u/MiniGodComplex
Getting custody of the kids.
Unless a mother is seen as very unfit to take care of her children, most judges tend to side with the women. A lot of this has to do with beliefs that a woman’s main job is parenting.
Meeting people.
“You can walk up to strangers without seeming like a threat, and strangers are more likely to approach you.” – u/EristicTrick .
Unfortunately, this can backfire with women becoming the target of unwanted attention.
Getting a free drink at the bar.
Women, you know it’s true! Sometimes all you need to do is smile at a guy in order to get him to buy you a vodka soda. Men typically don’t get that same treatment. And if they do, it’s not the norm.
