Do you ever wish you were the opposite sex and why? (Mar. ’02)
He Said by Steve Martin
Would I want the chance to be of the opposite sex? The answer would definitely be NO! I'm proud to say that I am very happy with being a man. While there’s only one other choice, the reasons for being happy to be a man are numerous. Here are some, just to mention a few.
First of all, girls are just too sensitive. Anytime someone says something to a girl, he must be very careful or he might end up hurting her feelings. For example, you joke with a girl about her weight and she starts complaining that you're calling her fat.
There’s also the fun time of having a girl ask your opinion on something. Take the classic “How do I look?” line — sometimes there’s just no right answer. If you agree, she thinks you’re lying. If you disagree, there’s for sure going to be a conflict. Sometimes even remaining SILENT will get a guy in trouble. Having feelings is definitely a good thing, but taking everything so seriously and being oversensitive is definitely a negative.
The next issue is getting ready. I know we all can agree that when it comes to getting ready for something, girls just take FOREVER. Guys throw on a baseball cap, and they’re ready to go. Girls, on the other hand, have to spend hours in the shower, putting on their makeup, curling their hair, and choosing the perfect outfit to wear. And it doesn’t stop there. Not only do they take all the time to prepare, but just think of all the energy they use to maintain what they’ve done. I mean, heaven forbid a gust of wind should come! Then they have to go and do it all again!
Finally, babies, babies, BABIES! Guys, can you imagine carrying a baby for nine months?! I couldn't! Enough said. Ladies, we will just leave it all up to you. You all look better carrying them anyway.
It's just so much fun being a guy. We get to do more things than girls. We get to play football and other full contact sports. Men’s basketball is so much more exciting than women’s. Guys dunk while girls just throw the ball and foul each other. Besides, guys are stronger and faster than girls. Guy things are much cooler than girls’. Ladies, just face it, you all know we have an advantage being a guy and if you could, you KNOW you would be a guy, too.
She Said by Diana Saada
Well, that's a very good question. I'm not going to lie and say no; many times I've wished I was a guy. I think every girl has wished she was a guy at one point, especially when it comes to getting ready to go somewhere. The hair, make-up, clothes and everything else just take forever. Guys don't worry about all that stuff; they can just wear whatever. Most of the time they don't care if they keep wearing the same things! Guys do make fun of us girls when we wear the same outfit twice a week. Every time I go to work I wish I were a guy. At my job they expect me to dress nicely, like church clothes. It gets expensive and wearing heels and standing on my feet for five hours isn't exactly comfortable. If I were a guy I could just throw on some khakis, any shirt, put some gel in my hair and I'm ready to go! Shopping for guys is much easier. I love buying clothes but I hate shopping because it takes forever! We have to get the matching accessories and the perfect size pants and all that complicated stuff.
But if you look at the REAL picture, girls are DA BOMB. We have more fun than guys. They need to get a life — all they think about is women, football, who fought with whom, and sleep. We have more than just that, we have a LIFE!
Well, my real answer to the question (not just my being lazy answer) is "No, I don't wish to be the opposite sex." I'm very happy to be what I am. I personally think that girls take everything seriously. If I were a guy, I would feel very sorry for my sister because then she would have to deal with two brothers. We have one brother and thank God we don't have more. We're barely able to handle him in the house! Well, I guess sometimes we wish we were the opposite sex and all that stuff. But deep down, I'm very thankful for what God has given me. He wanted me to be a girl so I am one. He wanted Steve to be a guy so he is one. It's all His will and we are very thankful.
