Here is a question for both sexes and it is not about being able to switch genders. See the details below.

Here we go again…

Pedicures!

It’s all relative to the individual. There’s no universal notion of what makes a man a man and a woman a woman.

Agree with Vinifera, that question comes 50 years too late. Traditional attributes are just that, traditional.

I know guys as fragile and innocent as a pre-teen girl and I know women as burly as a dang trucker and promiscuous as the proverbial sailor.

The CEO of my last company was a woman as tough as a coffin nail and smart beyond measure, all while being extremely hot and good looking. But then, I know a guy who is obsessed with cosmetics, wears make-up for men and whatnot. He’s not gay, married with kids, but he is the one who almost makes them leave late for dinner invitations cause he can’t decide which shirt to wear.

I really think gender-specific attributes are dying out.

Yeah, what @TaoSan and @Vinifera7 said.

I will say, though, that I wouldn’t mind having better muscle mass. It would help for moving heavy things around.

To men: freedom to cry
To women: the ability to look good without make-up

I would love to be able to pee while standing up when outside.

I do a lot of hiking

being always right, even when they are wrong, and persuading people that they are the poor underpriviledged victims, even when they just robbed a bank, killed everyone inside, and used the money to buy drugs

The right to hold practical handbags with all that useless junk in there (no, those banana belt pouches don’t count)

Not having to pay traffic fines as long as they just smile to the cop and pretend they’re stupid (actually I also do that, but I’m a foreigner wherever I go so I just pretend to not speak the language).

Being able to get laid, anyday, anytime, even if they’re ugly.

Alternatively, we could just grow tits and do away with women altogether…

(ok seriously? I don’t envy anything about being a woman. I guess if I were one, I’d also be content with it, but it has never seriously occured to me that I could have any female attribute, so I’ve never bothered with it)

I’m with jonsblond! Yes, gender is relative to the individual, but my vag certainly doesn’t work standing up (or at least not without soaking myself).

@jonsblond I don’t hike, but you took the words right out of my mouth. And when you’re away from home, you can come across some nasty restrooms. Sitting down is NOT an option, so you’re left squatting trying to do your business without getting it all over yourself.

And being able to get ready to go somewhere without having to dink with hair & make-up would be great. Men have it so easy in that respect.

@jonsblond: Yes! Peeing while standing up would be wonderful. I hate having to pull my pants down and put my ass on the toilet when the porcelain is freezing.

@Jack79: Nice..er..list. I’m not sure how much of it you believe, but I know a lot of guys who believe every single thing on there.

Well, I think that our gender defines us so much that these hypothetical questions have no meaning. I keep making statements about what I’d do if I were a woman, but in reality if I were a woman, I wouldn’t be me. So I’d be thinking like a woman and act like one. And of course it works the other way around too.

People who have sex transplants already don’t belong to their original gender, that’s why they feel the need for the transplant. I’d never do that, neither would most people.

I think loser might have some more insight than just pedicures.

Women: The ability to pee standing up
Men: Multiple orgasms

@Mtl_zack: Lurve. Personally, I thought that Bluefreedom was asking about physical characteristics which is why I said the peeing thing. If you think about it men and women are way more similar than either would want to admit.

@tinyfaery: This is a little off topic, but every time I see a mini cooper I think of you now. :)

I am me. There is really no such thing as attributes that are specific to one gender; I’m talking gender not sex. I have been told my interpersonal interactions are more like that of a man. But, I am also extremely emotional and I cry easily. Hopefully, one day we’ll all just be able to be who we are without having to label ourselves as masculine and feminine.

@Jack79 Maybe these kinds of questions have no meaning, but Blue was just throwing in a “what if” for fun.

I know, I was not accusing Bluefreedom. I’ve often wondered that sort of thing, so I understand his question and I actually tried to answer jokingly. But when I tried to answer seriously, I realised it’s not really possible. Gender (as tinyfaery rightly put it) is an intrinsic part of our personality.

I’m glad not everyone disliked my question here. I was getting worried there for a moment. It was just for fun if anyone was wondering.

I wish that men don’t have to ask ladies out. Now, that is not true at all, but I am saying at dances. Except Sadie Hawkins dance, of course.

Did you know that in Egypt a long time ago around King Tut time, the men wore all the make up? And the ladies had dresses from lower boobs, down. Hence, boobs were showing.

@90s_kid Well, I’m glad that custom went out!

Not for the perverts.
Sorry, aren’t I a little bit messed up?

by the way, NO I am not perverted

@90s_kid I certainly didn’t take your answer as being perverted. I took it as an information thing. Since the make-up thing is true, it’s not hard to believe the boob thing, too. You just sounded informed.

@jbfletcherfan
touchè

When boobs showed all the time, they probably weren’t seen as a perverted thing to show. Similarly, in China during footbinding times, feet were a perverted thing to show, but they’re not now as we wear sandals all summer. Cultures change like that.

Wow. In Chinese, their “Middle Finger” (US) is the pink finger.
By the way,Why are you whispering?

I’m whispering because my quip was a divergence from the original question.

Not really. But now you have the right to whisper because what we are saying now is totally off topic.

@discover um, women DO look good without make up

Theres nothing i can’t do as a man, that I would be able to do as a woman. Its true that women get away with a lot, but we men have our ways of achieving and accomplishing the same.
