The Man I Want To Be

In a world of transgendered people, drag queens, female body builders, cross-dressers, the rules of gender have completely changed. Today, citizens can cross over and become the exact opposite of what they were born. Sarah can be Sam, Joe can be Jody, who ever feels they were assigned the wrong card can begin a process of change and evolve into who they want to be.

Regardless of one's inner thoughts on the topic, you have to at least wonder what the opposite sex version of you would be like. Would you be the same with different parts? Or would the different parts give you the balls, no pun intended, to branch out and develop new traits? And if so, what type of man/woman would you be?

There's the constant joke between men where they say that if they were a woman they would be the biggest slut ever because they could have sex whenever they wanted, and would be a stripper and never have to work. Assholes. 

#1 women who are sexually active are not always sluts and #2 if you think dancing is easy, try to get your big beer gut up that poll!

Seriously though, if I changed, the man I would want to be would be a beefy builder, a dancer, and an all around funny guy. A builder because as a woman I have no upper body strength- at all, and imagine the satisfaction of that craft to be amazing. Plus I would have the most fabulous house on the block because I could fix everything myself. And if I am being completely honest- I think it would be exhilarating to work without a shirt on.

Then, I would like to be a good dancer. This is purely to give back to the ladies. As a female I love to dance and have to force my husband out at gun point or get him loaded and thinking he is John Travolta. Have you ever noticed how 80% of the dance floor is female, c'mon guys take some classes or something, nothing is sexier than a man who can groove. Oh! And don't think for one second that I mean grinding on me to the point I feel like I may have gotten pregnant through my blue jeans! Gross!

And lastly, funny is fantastic. Ever see a really unattractive guy with a smoking hot lady? Odds are one of two things.. either there is something below the belt or he makes her laugh. Women, men, children, old people LOVE TO LAUGH! If you're funny, you're in!

In the grand scheme of things, I am glad I am a girl. I love the life, I love the clothes, I love the crazy drama and wild mood swings that sometimes come. I feel for those who struggle with their bodies and the skin that they're in. It's amazing to think it could have all been so different for any of us.

Yes! A man that makes us laugh! This is HUGE.  I am VERY attracted to men like this...and smart men...I dont' care if they are good looking.

The Man I Want To Be

Funny.

This is great! Loved it. My husband and I have a standing joke that when we've gotten really mad at each other, we both wish I were a guy and we could just kick each other's ass...you know, really just fight it out. Wrestle out our frustrations.

I'm a girly girl.

I would like to be a beefy guy too, but in actuality I would probably be a very metro guy since I am such a girly girl (with less than zero athleticism). 

And I don't have penis envy, but it sure would be convenient to pee standing up!


The Man I Want To Be

My parents thought i was

My parents thought i was going to be a boy all the way up until i came out of mom, so i have always wondered about the man i would have been.  For the record, my name would have been Lockland.  I think that is either a geek/math whiz or a lacross player waiting to happen.


The Man I Want To Be

Ahhh! I can't believe I left

Ahhh! I can't believe I left that out! Good one Mommyhood! Peeing standing up would be the ultimate! Although, one time at a gas station I saw they were selling these paper-like funnels for women to use. Genius! I bought one, then lost it before I had the excuse to try it :(


The Man I Want To Be

So funny!

This was a crack up! Great insight and lighthearted.... I love the subjects you bring to the table, are you sure you aren't destined to be a writer? Your finger is on the pulse! Think about it...
