Damn lucky to be a guy

I'd like to interrupt my discussion on the downsides of the PUA community for a special announcement.

This weekend, I realized just how lucky I am to be a guy. 

Thanks to Facebook, I reconnected with a high school friend whom I haven't seen or heard from in almost a decade.  It's been about that long since I graduated from high school. 

She was in-town with her husband for some business convention.  While he attended the convention, she asked if I can grab desert with her and her children to burn off a few hours.  It seems, after college, she married and popped out three kids in rapid succession.  Such reproductive speed is pretty rare for Asian people. 

While we spent two hours together, I realized how a woman's life is pretty much over once they get married and have kids.  It was embarrassing seeing her trying to get three young kids to behave and not crawl under the table or make a mess.  Although she was pleasant and friendly to me, she was clearly a mature women.  There was nothing fun, energetic or youthful about her demeanor.  I found myself watching the clock, looking forward to leaving.

It's ironic that women are so eager to find "the one" and settle down when that occasion marks the end of their life.  Seriously.  They have nothing adventurous or new to look forward to. 

For us guys, we can still act stupid and have a retarded sense of humor, even if married with kids.  In fact, the only difference it seems between men and boys is the price of their toys.  Guys can, if they want, still screw around with girls.  There are guys in their 40s and even 50s attending PUA bootcamps.  Can you imagine women of that age still trying to meet cool people at clubs and bars?  That only happens in trashy romance novels, soap operas and Sex and the City. 

A few of my friends who are married still talk about banging other chicks -- and a few have either succumbed to that temptation or made an attempt.  My brother, who’s happily married, takes 5-6 trips to Asia alone on business.  I would not be surprised if he’s doing some extracurricular stuff there with hotties. 

As guys, we don't have to "grow up" and become boring.  We still can look forward to new adventures and encounters with new people.  And that is why I'm glad to born with a penis.  The next time you get rejected by a girl, have consolation knowing that in a decade, her life will likely be more depressing than yours.
