1) Drinking - Most people think that if a man and a woman are the same height and weight, both should be able to hold down the same amount of liquor. However, this statement is actually not true for two reasons. Women tend to have more body fat proportionally than men. Fat cannot absorb any alcohol, which makes the alcohol hit the blood stream faster and at a higher concentration. The second reason is women do not have as much as a certain enzyme in their stomach that is used for breaking down alcohol before it makes it to the blood stream. This causes women to absorb 30% more alcohol from the exact same alcoholic drink a man consumes. If a man and a woman were to have a drink of the same alcoholic content, the drink would have twice as much of an effect on the women as it would the man. 2) Keeping a Secret - As it turns out, men are significantly better at keeping secrets than women.

1) Drinking - Most people think that if a man and a woman are the same height and weight, both should be able to hold down the same amount of liquor. However, this statement is actually not true for two reasons. Women tend to have more body fat proportionally than men. Fat cannot absorb any alcohol, which makes the alcohol hit the blood stream faster and at a higher concentration. The second reason is women do not have as much as a certain enzyme in their stomach that is used for breaking down alcohol before it makes it to the blood stream. This causes women to absorb 30% more alcohol from the exact same alcoholic drink a man consumes. If a man and a woman were to have a drink of the same alcoholic content, the drink would have twice as much of an effect on the women as it would the man.

2) Keeping a Secret - As it turns out, men are significantly better at keeping secrets than women. While women care about the confidentiality of their friends' darkest deed, we really don't care and end up forgetting about it. Not only that, but as some of my female friends have told me, girls "blab" about anything and everything just to talk.

3) We pee standing up - Oh how good it feels to be able to use a porta-potty and not have to worry about how disgusting that nasty seat is or how many gross people have sat on it. Having the ability to urinate while standing up poses many advantages. We do not have to even take our pants off. We can comfortably unzip and go, while women must pull their

trousers down to their ankles and pop a squat. We also do not have to wipe off the seat or worry about bacteria on the seat.

4) We are taller - While you are going to find your fair share of giant women, the average height for a woman in the United States is 5' 3.8". The average height of a male in the U.S. is 5' 9. Being a 6'5" male, I can tell you that taller is better. I am able to reach into or put things into high places. I appear more intimidating to the common person, which could potentially protect me from a crime. I was bound to be good at sports, which is why I'm a collegiate athlete, and my children have the potential to be tall as well.

5) We are easily amused - Men like to look at the simple things in life and take pleasure from them. From personal experience, it does not take very much to entertain me and my ex will certainly be in agreement with that. We don't need to get dressed up all pretty, put on gobs of make-up and wear fancy shoes to go out and have a good time. All we need on the weekend to be completely entertained is a couch, a football game and some chips.

6) We are stronger - We are stronger in many aspects. Besides the obvious physical strength difference, we are stronger in the fact that we do not depend on emotions to make decisions or have a bad day. We are better problem solvers when it comes down to it. When we see a problem, we immediately look at the problem and seek the quickest, most logical solution to our problem, instead of wondering what emotional consequences might come from our actions. In the end, emotions are just emotions; however the problem will be solved. Back to the physical difference, men as a whole are stronger than women. This gives us more job opportunities as well as allows us to defend ourselves better.

7) We get ready faster - I'm pretty sure everyone knows that men get ready for any occasion faster than women. The amount of things we need to do to get ready compared to women is amazing. We do not have to worry about our hair, or make-up, or what clothes are best for the occasion, or what is going to make us look easy. We put on clothes and go.

8) We are better drivers - Although there are statistics that show women are safer drivers than men, it does not necessarily mean that women are better drivers than men. According to a study at Johns Hopkins Schools of Medicine and Public Health, for every one million miles traveled, men as a whole were involved in 5.1 car crashes, and women were involved in 5.7 crashes. To go along with these numbers, men drive 74% more miles each year than women do. It is true that men are riskier and more dangerous drivers up until the 20's. Men and women have the same amount of accidents between the ages of 20 and 35, and men are statistically safer drivers after the age of 35.

9) We are cheap - Aside from our want of expensive technology and gadgets, we are relatively cheap. We only buy the bare necessities required to stay alive. We don't need a fancy table, nice clothes or expensive jewelry. As long as we have some food on our plate, and a minimal form of entertainment, we are happy.

10) We can have facial hair - A man with a good facial hair is a good find. It means he has some capacity to upkeep his facial hair on a daily basis requiring some amount of dedication. On the other hand, if a woman is seen with any sort of facial hair, she is deemed strange and manly.
