15 Times Girls Wish They Were Guys

Being a woman definitely has its perks. We can usually get into clubs for free, we don’t really have to worry about balding in the future and we can easily pull off our boyfriend’s clothing just as much as our own girly duds. But there isn’t always a happily ever after ending to the fairytale that is being a woman. Sometimes it looks like guys have it easy, especially when our bodies do some weird things and our hormones send us on a roller coaster ride of emotions. From the outside looking in, being a guy seems like it has some major bonuses. With that said, we can name at least 15 times us girls wish we could be guys for a change.

1. When it comes to using the bathroom

Oh, how much easier life would be if we could pee standing up, anytime and anywhere!

2. In the morning when we first wake up

Unless you’re a guy (or Beyoncé) you don’t usually wake up as flawless as you went to bed. Seriously, is bed head even a thing for guys?

3. When getting ready to go out

Our routine could be reduced by at least an hour or two if all we had to do was throw on a V-neck and pair of jeans!

4.  When that time of the month comes around

It’s like someone is stabbing you in the stomach for five days straight and guys will never know the feeling— lucky sons of…ughhh!

5. During sex

Orgasms just seem to come by much easier for guys.

6. After sex

My how the tables would turn if guys had to worry about getting pregnant!

7. After we’ve been wearing a bra all day

Breasts just seem like more of a curse than a blessing each day we have to strap those puppies down.

8. When ordering at a restaurant

The ability to scarf down three cheeseburgers without judgment or the fear of weight gain would be such a blessing!

9. When it’s time to pack for anything

Even if we only include the essentials it’s nearly impossible to get our packing down to one suitcase, while a single backpack can suffice for a guy. Must be nice!

10. When it comes to making friends

If we had the ability to make and keep friends as easily as guys, Bad Girls Club probably wouldn’t even be a thing! 

11. After a breakup

A guy’s ability to quickly move on after a breakup has to be a superpower! We refuse to believe there’s any other explanation.

12. During the summer time heat

God forbid we run around half-naked with our shirts off in public, unless we want to be arrested for indecent exposure.

13. When it’s time for a wax

Men don’t have to worry about removing a single strand of body hair. Not fair!

14. When we have PMS

We’d kill to have a day where we aren’t set off be even the simplest thing! Meanwhile, men just seem to go about their day without a single care in the world.

15. After we’ve been wearing heels all day

Women’s shoes may be waaay cuter, but they sure make you feel like a thousand needles are stabbing you in the foot.
