what's your favorite?

What is your favorite part of being a woman? how can you use it to make you stronger when dealing with people and situations?

Same thing for guys...what's your favorite aspect of it? can you use it to improve yourself?


My favorite part of being a woman is having it socially acceptable to express my feminine side. I feel like I'm too hard in real life and I don't use the feminine side of myself often enough. I think if I were to remind myself that people don't seem to mind the "traditional" feminine woman I could be a bit more free. If I could make peace with the fact that being feminine doesn't mean i'm weak I could interact more readily with people and connect better with them.

I think i could use my favorite aspect of being a woman better than i've used it so far. Part of being a woman means I should be naturally better at reading faces and feelings...baby girls learn this earlier than baby boys (i read that in a medical journal)...so it should be a natural ability that I have inside of me somewhere but bc i'm so afraid of being viewed as weak,I've pushed down this natural ability to bond with those around me.

but i think it's still there...if i choose to use it.

My favourite part of being a man? Women....

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I honestly do not think there is one thing I can pinpoint. If I had to be specific it would not be something that is related to being male but being human. I have the ability to adapt and overcome obstacles that are put in front of me both mentaly and physicaly. I took on a lot when I met my wife with her suffering with anxiety and panick attacks regularly. Her son (now also my son) has Cystic Fibrosis and I had to come to terms with something that at that point in my life I had never heard of but jumped in with both feet and took control. He was later diagnosed with Diabetes which is something I dealt with, with him, to come to terms with and get under control. These things were added to my own problems with my mental state but I adapted. I had to adapt when our daughter came along, who is thankfuly OK up to press. I had to adapt to cope with the military and the nasties that came with that. I made physical adaptions due to having bad feet and lately asthma and PNES. The human psyche is a very strong tool to be able to adapt to any and all new challenges that life throws at us. Yes we may all suffer from time to time with the problems our minds throw at us, and unfortunately there are those who cannot adapt and choose to bring it to an end, but we all have the capability to change our future. I am probably one of the most depressive people here ,and I do appologise if any of my posts bring you down (don't say there is no need for appologies bc we all need to vent, I know that sentence is coming), but I do have my good times and I am trying yet again to adapt and change and get better for the sake of my family, friends (yes, you lot included) and myself.

My answer to this question, My and everyones ability to change.

Women!! totally have to agree

DOA pretty much summed alot of it up, i dont feel i can add anything meaningful to it.

oh! and we know stuff about tanks!

soooo...you're gonna use your knowledge of tanks to just run through all those talkative, at ease individuals til there's nothing left but us SA people? THAT would be so cool

Can I use mine please.....

thats right! cant get me if im locked in my tank

guess no one else has a favorite...bummer

My favourite part about being a woman is all the nice clothes I get to wear and looking at Kate and Pippa and following their fashion trends.......

giant pink coats and cute sweaters

*raises voice to uncomfortably high register*

I'm not sure what my favorite part of being a woman might be.

*looks down at chest*

*looks up in disappointment*

But I've always been eager to help others. But most guys don't just want a helpful woman.

My favourite part of being a girl?
Uhm...I get to wear crinolines and corsets (though guys can too I guess...)
Er...it's easier for me to be shy, because apparently guys are supposed to ask girls out (though all the guys I like are either shy or fictional)

You can always use the line "I'm PMSing so....." to get away with something. That is a way it helps you in situations. XD

Loving kitty cats as much as I do. It would be kinda weird for a guy.

As a woman you are not naturally better at reading faces and feelings. Those skills are acquired through socialization. Females learn these skills earlier than boys because people try to encourage and teach them these particular skills at an earlier age than boys. Sorry, I don't mean to sound like a jerk. These are useful skills, and it is perfectly okay for you to embrace them. I just think it is important to realize they are not natural.

Based on what Agent Violet said, I'd have to disagree with your disagreement. Babies act out of instinct and are not subject to social skills and constructs. If baby girls do learn these things more quickly than baby boys, then it's more likely a matter of nature and not of nurture.

As a male I guess I feel safer running and walking around town. This unfortunately can be potentially more dangerous for women.

Other than that I like being me and enjoying the things in life I do, without any consideration given to being male or female.

In my experience attemps to read the faces and feelings of other people does not make the interpretation any less dysfunctional. People try to read my anxiety and they get it so wrong it is not funny. Perhaps they should go back to pre-school and relearn their social skills. I've witnessed so much ignorance and immaturity.

what am i supposed to put here?

my favorite part of being WITH a woman?

my favorite part of being IN a woman?

my favorite parts of a woman?

i'm confused....

i like being a girl because it seems okay to be shy which can be seen as sweet to some so it appears to be easier to start a relationship then a shy guy.... i guess i'd like to be more humorous in a group setting instead of the one hiding and being called shy and silent all night long by ppl but im so introverted it probably wouldnt happen

Does anyone else have this song playing in the background of their mind while reading this thread? Just me, oh

I love female creativity, wordability, humour, curviness, empathy. Femaleness is simple beauty.

No part of it is my favourite. I hate every aspect of being a woman.
