Men. Say I had no job and stayed home all day, would an attractive woman want to marry me and provide for me? No, but women can get away with that.

You're skewed there. Wrong actually. I know cases of reversed roles. Obviously lazy guys who are well past healthy who have a woman who supports them.

And I know that I myself would never stand for a woman who couldn't handle herself and wasn't afraid to get dirt on her hands and join me in my day to day business.

Also, speaking as someone who's walked both sides of the spectrum.

Strangers as a whole treat you with more respect overall if you're perceived as male, and it also feels significantly safer walking about the streets alone.

That's probably just something to do with confidence. iirc majority of crime happens to male victims.

Except that really has nothing to do with it in my personal experience

Oppressing women and keeping the patriarchy strong isn't easy, so men by far have it worse

Women quite obviously have it worse.

Also just some commentary on women's clothing.

Other than it being uncomfortable and often times made of significantly cheaper material unlike the male counterparts despite having a bigger price tag?

My biggest beef, by far:
FAKE. POCKETS.

Holy SHIT women's clothing has no practicality whatsoever. They design shit for appearance, not comfort and practicality. Everything is about appearance. Holy balls it used to drive me up the wall.

So basically, guys are born weaker, can die through less trauma, and burn out faster than women in terms of aging.

And we still gotta do all the heavy lifting, take all the hits like a meatshield, and be nice gentlemen in the process.

Well, higher muscle density as well as coordination... Go look at sports, men do better in almost every category. Men aren't weaker, they just don't absorb pain as easily.

I think most people forgot the point of the thread here though Ender. You asked for the baseline physical difficulties. Not the social difficulties. Everybody here mostly seems to be talking about the social issues.

Which, again, has its ups and downs for both sides. I'll comment on my particular side since it's the only one I can accurately know.

As I guy, socially, I have a metric fuck ton of responsibilities to uphold for myself to even vaugely be considered by any woman I bump into as somebody worth being with.

I need to have a house. Or a property. A home base, basically. I need to have an income and to be able to support myself.

I need to be in prime fucking shape, not a lazy bone in me.

If I want to start a relationship with somebody, I have to take the initiative because they won't. If you come on too strong, a woman gets spooked and backs off. Play too weak, and you lose your chance. Even if I have a good personality, a woman will not so much as look at me or consider me if I do not project interest in them.

Which is an issue for me because my sex drive is basically gone at this point. I don't project attraction or show interest anymore. Neither do I feel it. So, no woman is going to look at me, study me, look at my flaws, and say "I wanna hang around with this guy even though he's got some off bits to him."

In order for a relationship to be considered, I basically have to have this entire fucking base set up, be it myself, or a home, or anything really. And I don't even want a kid. I realize that I'd make a poor father at the present time. Maybe at all times. I don't even want sex. I gotta do all this analytical shit, be absolutely on fucking point, and essentiallly, Mr. Fucking Perfect in all avenues, to even be considered.

It'd be nice if I could bump into a lady with a real damn good head on their shoulders who was a little bit of a social anomaly and not like the common crowd, so that maybe they'd look at me in a different light and not think only about their own physical needs and wants. But those are rare finds. Further lowering my chances of any success whatsoever.

Social pressures for ya.

There's a lot of reasons why I'm depressed. That's one of them. A societal mantle that I'll never be able to live up to even if I tried my best. Cause that's what I'm doing now and it's not good enough.

And what does a woman have to do? Look nice. Be friendly.

Hell. For simpler people she doesn't even have to have a good head or a personality. Just look pretty. Which, if I read through this thread, is another load of bullshit in itself for ladies to have to deal with. My point, both sides have shit to them.

No, see, the terms mess things up. I'm not saying that they're physically weaker in the sense of muscle. They're physically weaker in the sense of health.

More guys are born with birth defects, in bad condition, or die at birth than women do because of the physical genetic differences. Men die earlier than women by a large margin, Average male lifespan is 60-70. Female is 80-90.

Even if you took a population of men who physically worked hard all their lives, and women who worked physically hard all their lives, women would still live longer because they've got the more durable system built into them.

Waxing
Makeup
Hair
pain for the sake of "beauty"
uncomfortable clothes
girly shit

You say all that like it's a bad thing

I say I want it all so bad, but I feel like I'll end up changing my tune after it actually starts happening

Considering that most of them have actually gotten somewhere in life their genes are better than yours.

Um, reported.
