These are hastily thought up facts and then some stereo-typical reasons, in response to Sam's Why men seldom get depressed thread. Feel free to add ones that have been missed.
Men:
Have to shave everyday or they look like Miami Vice wannabe's.
Have to register for the draft.
Have to keep up that macho image for their buds.
Have to pretend to love beer.
To them, size is an important issue. Their brains get twisted in knots wondering if it matters to women.
Need little blue pills. 40% of men need them after 40 and over 70% need them from 70 on and for some the blamed pills dont' work for them at all.
Blue pills cost at least ten dollars a piece.
Men: don't get the credit they deserve for being class A nags. Poor fellas. Think governing body and elders, the champions of the art of nagging.
Men: they get stuck with wives who just never, ever can cook, clean, or bail them out of trouble like their mommies.
Men: neck ties.
They are too proud to ask for directions so they spend 2 years, 45 days, 7.5 hours, 20 seconds driving around lost during their life times.
They are not allowed to cry, dammit. Not even when they slam their fingers in the car door. The only time it is okay for men to cry is when their hound dogs die.
They cannot have tea cup toy poodles with pink toenails, pink ear bows and pierced ears riding around in their pockets. They especially cannot name them Fifi or Chiffon.
Have to button the top button on dress shirts.
Have to pretend they don't love quiche.
Have to pretend they come from Mars.
Have to pretend they don't watch Hallmark Channel and Oprah.
Have to pretend they hate Nanci Pelosi and that they love Sarah Palin.
Can get woody at the most inconvenient times.
