I think that's one thing that sets me far, far apart from the average male (at least stereotypically) is that I'm very in tune with my emotions. However

So it may just be my APD.. but I actually enjoy being so in tune with everything. It can just get kinda hectic sometimes.

this is true, there are both less intelligent than average men and smarter than average men, while women tend to fall in the middle.

not sure what point you're trying to prove though. sounds like your attempting to sound open-minded and enlightened, like a male who claims to understand a female's point of view and issues.

fixed it for ya

(too easy, couldn't help myself :D )

well said, as long as you know where you are setting your sights, then you can follow your instincts and they will take you to where you are as a person. it is the problem with advice, they dated you, so all the answers come from within. that is what matters. not someone else, or you are gonna find it hard to keep guard.

Sometimes I wish I had boobs ala Genesis P-Oridge. Well, I know some people wouldn't be surprised.

i think this is a GREAT question and have been thinking about that alot lately

for the past few months i've been basically living in a house with three guys two nights a week,.....and while i've lived with men before, it has never been in this type of setting where i was not in a relationship, nor did i want to pursue one, with any of them,....it has been quite different to have some much male energy around me that i've thought about what it would truly be like to be male

i think certian aspects of me would enjoy it.
boys are kinda gross, but in 'their' own element, like their home,....boys at peace are kinda cool

they are pretty even keel, there's no judgment, they are so open
i think i would enjoy that aspect of being a boy, the way they exchange socially with each other

i feel like women are so much more competitive, even when they share the same home, or comfortable space
its like no matter how close we become with each other, there will always be a twinge of competitiveness

as for physically,....yes, i love being a girl and experiencing as a girl

It seems the great majority of females here give the "love physically being the girl but envy the social life of being a boy" answer.

I know there are guys who are pretty openminded but there are also a lot of girls who are very openminded (all the broads here for example) and vice versa there's a lot of dudes who are superficial judgemental f*ckwads and it's as common for men as it is with girls if not more so. Overall I'd say that personality flaw is a basic human nature thing and isn't exclusive to any one sex.

On the flip side from how some girls here feel, I've always been way more comfortable talking to girls (at least when it's girls Im not trying to persue and thus fear rejection from) because I don't feel that kind of pressure to not say anything that makes me sound like a "fag" like it is when I talk to members of my own gender. That's a huge reason I don't have any interest in being "one of the guys". If I do find me a guy I can communicate easily and comfortably with, the odds of him being queer are probably high.

I'm a girly man, and if you like being girly you'd find being a girly man would be hella difficult if you have any hopes for a social life with people of your gender. Thankfully I don't so I'm kewl with being a pussy who doesn't pee standing up.

You go, girlfriend...;)

I thought you were one of those types of homosexuals known as "bears". http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y28...irh-smiley.gif

I'm not convinced that guys are as difficult to talk to as you say. I have a lot of guy friends, and I'm usually regarded as just "one of the guys." I agree with savanah that a lot of the time is DOES feel more comfortable and relaxed. Maybe your problem is the type of guys in your social circle at the moment. I have a lot of friends who I could describe as "girly men," and yes, they get made fun of by the other guys, but so does everyone in the group, it's how we all relate to each other. Our group dynamic is to joke around a lot, but there's no actual malice behind any of the comments, it's all just friendly banter. I'm assuming you're not the crazy over sensitive type who would be hurt by this kind of thing, so my guess is the guys in your social circle are mostly just assholes. It's a shame because I'm sure if you found a good group to hang out with you'd feel just as comfortable with guys as with girls.
