If Males and Females Changed Places (guys, single, Latin, friend)

[fleetiebelle]

I'd be waiting in great anticipation for the men to experience their first period. And if they ever got angry about anything I could say, "Oh, is it that time of the month? Har har."

And just think, there wouldn't be waiting in any lines any longer to use the restroom. That in itself would be a plus.

Arrived at lab 1215 hours today. The Alpha Female had just commented on restroom concerns. The team and I truly need to devise a new experiment involving restrooms in regards to gender bending.

Well r physical traits not a part of this twilight zone? Cause if men will be the ones pushing babies out of their loins, the first thing I am going to do is knock as many of up as I can. Let 'em see what its like to have their body blow up so far it may never be normal again and let them feel what it feels like to have bones they didn't even know they had stretched from here to kingdom come to bring forward my baby. Yes I would change the world immediately. Guys I love and respect u, but payback is a ***ch

Hopefully, after having been turned into women already, the cry babies will be more stoic! 'Cause knowing how nobody's sicker than a sick man, I don't even wanna picture this nightmarish scenario!

This has already happened- everywhere I look anyways.

Men aren't the Alpha males, cavemen, nor do they bring home the bacon.
Women now are the Alpha and we bring home the bacon because the man either stopped doing it, didn't do it fast enough or wasn't efficient, or just didn't do it at all.

Stats and trends show (especially in this economy) the woman is keeping her lower paying job while the man was laid off from his higher paying job. But yet I've not heard more men do more of the work around the home or tending to the children...women still are expected to do that.

I think men have become the softer of the gender.

Well, the OP did say that it was a trade of EMOTIONAL traits and not physical ones so I think you guys are missing the point when talking about peeing in bottles and such. It's not a trade of genitalia.

For me, personally, I can't help but feel that the only thing that would change is that I would be able to be more open about my feelings. There have been plenty of times when I've let out certain statements that gave other people pause. Like being able to admit that another man is handsome suddenly gets you accused of being gay. It's not like I ever said, "Wow, he's cute; I wonder what size tool he's packing under those jeans."

Or another example: My wife always told me that she would like to see me cry at a time other than a funeral and then acted all embarassed when I choked up during an argument at thanksgiving (it's a long story) and was making excuses about me having had too much to drink.

I also might not get looked at weird when people find out that I don't like sports. I mean, I'm fat, I have long hair and I wear tee shirts that feature comic book characters on them and people still assume that I like sports. I do get a lot of people who think that I used to play football too though. I guess I just look like an athlete that got fat after playing when, in reality, I used to be a skinny kid in the drama club who got fat as a grown up.

And for the poster who talked about cramps from holding in gas: That's something that we men do also while we're dating, darling. It all stops (from the woman's end also) once you're married long enough.

Sorry, but I believe early on I mentioned that only mental/emotional traits would change - each team would keep their own equipment.

Which, thinking about it, kills the whole restroom thing, doesn't it?

In that case, this thread doesn't make much sense, simply because there are already so many women who have male personality traits and same goes for men. In that case this thread is just stereotyping women and men alltogether.

A lot more fun to explore what it would be like if men all of a sudden got female reproductive system and genitalia.

Which means it would all pretty much stay the same, wouldn't it? I mean, same characteristics would still exist, just in the opposite gender?
