Unraveling the enigma called 'men'

After years of having male friends that outnumber my female friends by 1000:.001 ratio, I've come to the conclusion that men are the happier of the two sexes.

I believe they are happier due to the following reasons:

1. They know how to compartmentalize their problems. They do not compound all their problems into one big lump that they feel they'll get crushed under. They make these tiny little "one-size-fits-all-problems" boxes in their heads & put a problem in each. And no, it's not necessary to arrange them neatly in a row because APPARENTLY
that's something only women do! The macho men that they are, they can pull out any problem from that mess & solve it with the snap of a finger!

2. A problem remains just that - a problem. It does not lead to other problems. For instance, a bad haircut is a bad haircut. It does not make their face look too fat, or their neck look too short. It does not make their shoulders look too broad, does not make their waist look too big, butt too fat, or thighs look like tree trunks!

3. Their way of dealing with a problem is pretending it doesn't exist. So what if it's Sunday evening and therefore, the most depressing time of the week. They'll call up a mate, shoot some balls, make a couple of baskets and swoosh! Sunday evening is over!!

4. They are totally comfortable with the fact that they WILL mess up in relationships. If they don't mess up in the loyalty department, they will mess up somewhere else. They don't need to look for a way of messing up. It comes naturally to them.

5. Jerk, prick, a**hole are things they know they WILL be called at various times in their lives, so they are completely fine with it. It comes with the package (of being a man). It's an occupational hazard, but you don't change your profession due to mild occupational hazards, do you? So you continue being a man & you continue being a jerk, prick, an a**hole. It's all good just as long as you have the remote.

6. Having possession of the remote control makes them feel that THEY hold the controls of their life & the lives of everyone around them. So what if they actually have no control over anything in this world, really! They have the control INSIDE THEIR HEADS!

7. They can scratch their privates in public whenever they feel like it and for however long, without being stared at or people making "gross!" faces at them. Anyone who can scratch their privates whenever they feel the need to has GOT to be happy in life!


However, men don't have to battle oestrogen & ovaries every month, or waddle around like a fat pregnant duck for atleast nine months in their lives, and this SINGLE-HANDEDLY clinches the battle in the favor of women! The war, rather. It's actually WE who possess the remote control, NOT you! :)
