Why Men Are Never Depressed ? Your comments ?

Question

This is waht I read in the morning. It was fun to read:hahaha

Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character.

Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. !

Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.

You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.

Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color.

The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.

You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

Answer 1

hahaha...gentleman...it seems you are getting various feedbacks from this question.....i think some people took it too seriously when all the article wanted to do was to cheer people up and look at the funny side of life...

men do get depressed...but they get over depression faster...they dont dwell as long as women on the bad things that happened to them but rather, they would take charge and go into action....

but i guess like you...i just found it hilarious and should not be taken too seriously....

Answer 2

You, my friend, must be on some good drugs to think that men are never depressed.

- Men have a huge weakness with their insecurities and that is what causes most male teenagers stress in junior high and high school.
- Second men have a almost physical need for sex and when we don’t get it regularly we get real depressed about that. Women think going without sex for a year is a long time in “guy time” a month is as bad as it would be for a woman.
- Males are almost always in competition and if it isn’t in sports or for the best job it is among their friends. Sure you don’t get depressed when you lose the local football game, but when you don’t land the promotion and the other guy does you get real depressed about it.
- Modern society has its own stresses and problems, but few men have to worry about going without dinner. If primitive man didn’t track down and catch the “bacon” then he often didn’t have any dinner; that is certainly stressful.

I doubt it is any easier for women they have their own set of problems.

Clearly, the article you quoted was written by a woman.

Answer 3

That's a funny list. I read it a few years ago and it still cracks me up.

Let's try this:
WHY WOMEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED?
1. the price of an engagement ring went from 2 weeks to 3 months but a dowry is considered barbarically old-fashioned.
2. get all federal money for college without having to register for selective service.
3. demand combat pay in the army and wave to the male soldiers as they go off to die in combat.
4. realize that you've made a mistake by entering the military during wartime? Get pregnant, get discharged, get an abortion! It's cheaper than a lawyer.
5. demand equal pay to that of coal-miners while you work in the front office and listen to the news that another dozen men were killed in the coal mine.
6. earn three times what your date earns and rest assured he'll pay for dinner.
7. unwanted pregnancy? abortion! too late for that? leave it at the hospital and sever all obligations.
8. get caught speeding? cleavage!
9. you collect both pensions, all the insurance, and live an extra decade!

Answer 4

I agree with Jason. We get just as depressed as women, but society tells us that it's weak to show it. We HAVE TO BE strong and supportive, especially when it comes to family and our women. We typically respond with anger, rather than tears, which is NOT good. Perfect example is me and my gf. We're both professionals with stressful jobs (which is why I'm on this site now at work, with a little down time). But when I come home stressed, I tell her how people at work are pi$$ing me off, she sits quietly and may shed a tear or two. To someone observing our behavior, I'd come off as being upset, but not depressed, where as she'd look completely broken. TRUST ME, we have our fare share of problems and worry. Ever heard the saying "when women get married, they stop worrying about their future, when men get married, they START?

Answer 5

Men do get depressed. I have 3 brothers that are medicated just for that reason. I recently met a man too, that was so happy and energetic when we met him, but 2 weeks after we met, he left a message on our phone saying that he was getting ready to kill himself and we didnt hear from him for a month and a half, and ever since hes been disconnected, strange, quiet, down, different, and just plain ,not the man we met.*

Answer 6

Hah ha. Funny, but true. I'm pretty sure that all these conveniences really do add up to a less stressful life. D@mn, I do sort of wish I was a guy! They never have to worry about getting fat or maintaining their looks...they maintain themselves!

Answer 7

I don't think there is direct relation between depression and what all you have mentioned. Men and women are different and complimentary to each other. It's like they are two vital and interdependent parts of the same system!

Answer 8

Listen Gentleman,
Thats not true always...
There are many guys who have comitted suicide due to depression...
The thing is gals tell their problems but guys keep it with them.
Even guys are depressed but they never show it...

And about the looks and dresses, seeing that only u guys (like you) fall behind gals right?

Answer 9

We don't get depressed because all the women do enough of the "depressing" for both of the genders. And if we get depressed - the women will say "sexual discrimination" for taking away from them the power to demand chocolate and diamond rings from men (to help them get over their depression)

Cheers

Answer 10

STAR BY FAR...! Hey u know ur right but this is with 5-10% of the men in the world. WHY? Every one is born with somethings (good & bad), circumstances change too etc.,
WHY I CHERISH WHAT U'VE MENTIONED 'COZ I'M a.k.a. JODY SINGS & CAN SO RELATE WITH ALL U SAID.
