There’s a warmth women are received with in our society that men simply aren’t. I get why women are wary of men, I do, but it sucks to be distrusted by default. I try not to let it get to me but it does hurt, I won’t lie.
There was a movie that came out back in 2021 called chaos walking where the thoughts of men and boys swirled above them. The premise was a little disconcerting but all I could think was how refreshing it would be if people could simply see into my heart and know me for who I am, not who they fear me to be.
Somewhat off topic, but I came into this thread thinking women have it way easier than men in many ways and that I’d be envious, but instead it’s had the exact opposite effect and made me realise that us guys probably have it much better.
Yes, women can get attention from the opposite sex much more easily, but the flip side is unwanted male attention, harassment or feeling unsafe. Us guys can generally go out after dark and won’t be pestered. Women are more likely to get away with showing less accountability whereas a guy would be called a bum, but the flip side is we have a tonne more autonomy and freedom overall. Women get to dress how they want, but the flip side is having to actively think about what they wear to weddings/to the office (generally) whereas us guys can generally get away with a suit/shirt/smart trousers for most occasions. Just a few examples!
I imagine women might be jealous of some things that men generally have/get to do, but after thinking about it all as I have, they might conclude that they’re pretty darn happy as they are too!
It’s all relative to what we know. And I think it’s a great exercise for everyone to do cos it’ll make you appreciate your blessings! I mean after all, we’re lucky not to have been born as pigeons or something 🤷🏻♂️
Come to think of it! 😂 Okay, but real talk — I’m lowkey jealous of how women can just… compliment each other like it’s nothing. Like, a girl walks into the room and instantly it’s, “Omg I love your hair!” and the other’s like, “Girl, stop! Yours is perfect!” All smiles, all love. Meanwhile guys are like, “Nice shirt… loser.” But, Like let’s talk about cozy clothes. Women’s hoodies? 10x softer. I swear they’re made with clouds and magic or something. Every time I borrow one, I’m like bruhh!, why doesn’t mine feel like this?? I am jealous 👀
As a recent converted bald guy, jealous of women having long hair. I know men can have long hair too, but with women, it is more socially acceptable. Also, you know, thinning of hair and what not lol
They’re judged less for having something on them at all times for carrying all their stuff. I personally use a backpack all the time because it’s necessary for things I need all the time. Women just have purses and nobody really judges them if they got a bigger one to hold tons of stuff.
You don’t have to worry about anything physical on your body, because surgery always exists
… Wheras if a guy is too short, or has a small dick. You’re completely fucked, and will most likely never have kids, or ever experience what it’s like for someone else to be attracted to you
To be able to complain about any and everything that want when ever they want and it’s completely acceptable. Im over here trying to get that shit done in silent while crying inside but there is absolutely no complaining or you no longer find me attractive because Denise’s husband did it in a tank top without a complaint.
Multiple orgasms. Sorry to be crude, but it must be awesome to climax numerous times in a single session. One ejaculation, and I’m done for 20 minutes (by which time, rhe moment has passed)
Having so many options of people to date on a daily basis. Being able to actually decide whether or not you want to be single. Never being expected to “pursue” someone romantically, whatever that even means.
For women, it’s like they get a menu the size of a Cheesecake Factory menu of men to date…and then if they don’t like any of the options, they’re free to politely decline and go home. For us, it’s like having to go on a drive from the east to west coast of the USA to find a bald eagle, and then if you manage to find one, there’s a 99% chance she’ll just fly away and not even notice you’re there.
Women “release” emotions better than men, and it depends on what you mean by handling emotions. Men handle emotions through controlling of the emotion . To not act on or be the emotion. Women handle emotions through being and feeling the emotion. Frequently playing out their emotions so that the emotion dissipates instead of being stored as potential emotional trauma.
If you don’t want emotional trauma stored inside you, you have to literally “cry” it out. (accept the emotion, be the emotion, and ultimately feel the emotion. Not necessarily tears)
Being attractive by default. I feel like the average women is seen as attractive, and even if she has some flaws a lot of them can be hidden with makeup. For a man to be seen as attractive he has to have won the genetic lottery.
Everybody forgives them for being clumsy or being unable to do something. When a man is clumsy, he’s done. It is unacceptable for a man, in a masculine world, to be unable to do something. “You’re a dude, man up!”
The power they hold over men. Even the proudest man will secretly bed a woman that other men would ignore, if she uses her feminine charms on him. Women have many ways of catching a man…scents, clothing, hair, conversation, dancing, teasing. It is an art.
The most common comment is multiple orgasms yet when speaking with real women men usually can’t even make them come once. And I’m not counting in the women who have hard time coming themselves.
Womins can change their appearance and everyone is positive and supportive but when a man does anything other than lose weight it’s suddenly who is he trying to impress or midlife crises accusations.
If I had to pick something, it’s that they’re less likely to be treated with suspicion, more likely to be trusted and given leniency. Whereas as a guy, especially as a brown dude, I’m more likely to be treated as suspicious and just distrusted by people until I prove otherwise.
Clothes, heels, makeup, inherently valued just by existing, being seen as generally attractive by like 90% of the population, thousands of valid options for dating and intimacy, people showing interest in you physically and romantically on a daily basis.
I’d happily trade all the perceived safety advantages of being a man if I could undo the 20+years I spent feeling invisible for anything beyond platonic friendships and actually being wanted and desired, be seen as attractive and actively pursued as such.
Probably how women have an easier way to talk about their feelings and any problems they are having. With Men we can’t really speak out and talk about our issues, our emotions or any problems we are having without risking breaking that horrible stigma that men should be “manly and never cry”.
It’s definitely getting way better than it was a few years ago and it’s more socially acceptable to talk about your feelings but years ago in the early two thousands and centuries before if you spoke about your feelings and cried you were seen as weak or being a baby.
But women (from what I’ve seen) have a better understanding of each others feelings and are open with each other and can talk for hours about their issues, but men don’t really have that and not being able to open up and talk about your issues can be quite bad for your mental wellbeing.
That their growth and feelings are nurtured and supported and even if they screw up along their journey of self discovery they get encouragement to try again and keep going.
I’m jealous of the legal rights, privileges and protection that women have that men do not. Men, for example, have no reproductive rights at all. There is no “choice” for men about becoming a parent or not. Women get to choose for men. “Equality”.

For me it’d be how they’re socialized to handle emotions better than men, totally.

Not having giant reproductive apparata dangling between their legs. So much more comfortable.

Nothing really.
The vibes they radiate.
Being able to get away with most things by virtue of being a woman.

Absolutely nothing
Being able to contradict the opposite sex on their own subreddit
Getting to wear make up, lingerie, feminine clothing, nail polish, jewellery etc.
I am of course not jealous of the expectation for women to have to wear at least some of the listed things.
Multiple orgasms
As a recent converted bald guy, jealous of women having long hair. I know men can have long hair too, but with women, it is more socially acceptable. Also, you know, thinning of hair and what not lol
Always have access to boobs
[removed]
Women can more easily wear clothing from either gender.
They’re judged less for having something on them at all times for carrying all their stuff. I personally use a backpack all the time because it’s necessary for things I need all the time. Women just have purses and nobody really judges them if they got a bigger one to hold tons of stuff.
Tits

… Wheras if a guy is too short, or has a small dick. You’re completely fucked, and will most likely never have kids, or ever experience what it’s like for someone else to be attracted to you
How much more clothing options they have, particularly in the summer.
It must be nice not being the villain by default
Getting sex so easily.
The Women are Wonderful effect.
To be able to complain about any and everything that want when ever they want and it’s completely acceptable. Im over here trying to get that shit done in silent while crying inside but there is absolutely no complaining or you no longer find me attractive because Denise’s husband did it in a tank top without a complaint.

This comment section is so down bad.
Women get so much free shit and from all accounts, their dating app experience is full of options.
Bro what you mentioned is depend upon person because I’ve seen both types of people who can’t control emotions and some do it in a great way.
Not really jealous of nothing but yes seen if there are women or men, women are most trusted, seen as empathic, nice people.
Having your worth in the eyes of society and in the dating market be independent from your net worth.

That they can usually waltz into any job and be liked and wanted whereas im disliked by everyone immediately and generally ignored and let go.
nothing really
How amazing they look with long hair
Womins can change their appearance and everyone is positive and supportive but when a man does anything other than lose weight it’s suddenly who is he trying to impress or midlife crises accusations.
Able to be emotionally vulnerable and be given support.
Basically everything. Women have it so much easier in almost every aspect of modern life.
Having more worth generally
If I had to pick something, it’s that they’re less likely to be treated with suspicion, more likely to be trusted and given leniency. Whereas as a guy, especially as a brown dude, I’m more likely to be treated as suspicious and just distrusted by people until I prove otherwise.
They don’t handle emotions any better than men, they’re just not ostracized for showing emotion
the clothing options. looking nice.
Clothes, heels, makeup, inherently valued just by existing, being seen as generally attractive by like 90% of the population, thousands of valid options for dating and intimacy, people showing interest in you physically and romantically on a daily basis.
I’d happily trade all the perceived safety advantages of being a man if I could undo the 20+years I spent feeling invisible for anything beyond platonic friendships and actually being wanted and desired, be seen as attractive and actively pursued as such.
Attention. Definitely willing to give up 30% of the inherent safety I have as a man to get 20% of the attention from the opposite sex.
More women who would come up to me to express interest or even just express their interest by looking at me.
That will be an equivalent exchange.
Nothing
The fact that people feel so.much more safe around them, even when people don’t love.
Everywhere I go, it is pretty clear that people feel some sense of being threatened by me. And to not experience that would be great.
But I get it we are supposed to be threatening.
not being seen as a threat by random people, that support and collective spirit they seem to exhibit
To be blund: pussy pass
Women can get away with way more things than men
Probably how women have an easier way to talk about their feelings and any problems they are having. With Men we can’t really speak out and talk about our issues, our emotions or any problems we are having without risking breaking that horrible stigma that men should be “manly and never cry”.

Having a pussy. Also with the quota system women get jobs over men, discrimination of men. Having a pussy gets you almost everything.
That their growth and feelings are nurtured and supported and even if they screw up along their journey of self discovery they get encouragement to try again and keep going.
Plus fashion choices.
Putting little to no effort into dating apps and getting matches
I’m jealous of the legal rights, privileges and protection that women have that men do not. Men, for example, have no reproductive rights at all. There is no “choice” for men about becoming a parent or not. Women get to choose for men. “Equality”.
Their voices.
Boobs. Need I say more?
