Differences between men and women

[Amberle3]

Here's my vent/ramblings for the day:

What is it about men (in general) that makes them so much fonder of various bodily functions and bathroom humour?

My sweet, loving, caring, DFi is obsessed with gas. It doesn't matter what the conversation is about, it inevitably has to include "gassers" in there somewhere. Most recently I was telling him how much I was looking forward to moving him into a house and out of his apartment, and his response? "Yeah, more room for my gassers". The man is 36, not 12!

He tells me stories of road trips with his brothers as kids where his youngest brother decided to make it the "trip of 1000 farts" and counted each and every one of them.

I just don't get it! I'm MORTIFIED if I even have to burp!

And I frankly have never heard the following uttered by any woman coming out of a bathroom:
"Aaaah, now that was good. Oooh boy, I wouldn't go in there for a while hon, it's TOXIC I tell ya!"

I've studied psychology, and I'm fairly well acquainted with the underlying motivations and reasons between a lot of differences between men and women. But this one has me baffled! And I fully realize that all men aren't like this, but gosh it sure seems like a lot of them are!

You apparently haven't met my sister.

Luckily my DH isn't like this but the 2 guys at work are. It is all they talk about in the staff room (well that and another thing that blokes think about a lot! ) Another fortunate thing is that the 2 guys left a few weeks ago and when we go back after the summer break it will be an all female work place. We were just discussing on the day they both left that the conversations in the staff room will be a little more civil from now on!!

I worked in an all girl environment and we were anything but civil. WE may not have been talking about bodily functions..but..let's just say...we were bad.

I don't understand the pride in basic bodily functions either - or the need to share it with everyone. Farting is not a unique and special talent, neither is using a toilet. I think men took the praise they received as little boys being potty trained to heart and still think those things are praiseworthy. Do the dishes and I'll praise you; I don't want to hear about that other stuff.

This thread made me chuckle.

I used to work with a very weird girl who would go to the ladies room and announce (to me, and my male co-worker who was usually on the shift with us) that she "had to poop". It was just way TMI!

My BF thinks the word "poop" is very funny. I guess it kind of is.

I'm not sure it's a fascination with their bodily functions as much as a thrill of disgusting us.
My ex used to do or say things that would shock or disgust me, just for the fun of it. He loved getting reactions from me.

I don't understand why the male sex has such a fascination with belching either. I just don't get it. I hope this doesn't start anything bad, but I just hate seeing guys spit out of car windows. Women don't do that. I can't believe that men have anymore need to do it. I can't even begin to tell you how disgusting I think it is to walk along a sidewalk and see where someone has hacked on it! Sorry, this is a real pet peeve of mine!

You must understand the consequenses of holding things in...

I'll clean this up a little:

Never hold gas in. It travels up your spine and into your brain and that's where crappy ideas come from!

I read this somewhere so it must be true...

you guys are toooo funny...


I needed a chuckle today

 

[cheyita]

Do I have a secret camera hooked up to my computer and you all are talking about my husband???

I've taken to laughing about it now, because he's not going to change. I laugh if he's in bed and I'm in the bathroom brushing teeth, etc., and I hear him let loose. I'll yell out, "Honey - I'm coming! I hear your mating call!" and stuff like that.

I really don't get it, but I only get frustrated when he gets really obnoxious (like belching loudly ten times in a row).
