Hey Pandas, What Is Something You Have Always Wanted To Ask The Opposite Gender? (Closed)

Never? I need more context PLEASE

When it is on the History Channel.

More often than I used to

Maybe once a week, but usually in general terms when considering historical empire building.

Almost never

If there's a normal toilet AND some a*****e hasn't peed on the seat AND it is not a public toilet (e.g. a friend's house, family member house, etc) I always sit to pee. It makes less mess. However, if it's a public toilet, the risk of contacting a pee puddle or a poop smear or some other grossness doesn't make it worthwhile. ALSO, probably TMI, but the thing on the front often touches the porcelain which grosses me out.

I sit and pee. I hate using urinals and will go out of my way to not use one.

I've wondered about this. Thanks for the answers 😸 Glad guys are revolted by bad aim just like females!

It’s actually more convenient

Not enough people lift the seat before peeing.

Easy. Business acquaintance that you want to get money out of : handshake. Business acquaintance that you barely know and don't give a rats about, nod. Buddy/friend : two hand handshake, high five, or hug. Also, the hug must have two pats to indicate how long it lasts. More than two pats is gay. <- humour

I do this as a girl lol

I rarely see my some of bros because they are in a different country (could drive there but customs checkpoints are a headache) and they mostly only come back during Christmas/New Years. So whenever I see them, BEARHUGS it is!!! Just think of it as us expressing how much we miss each other but at the same time, haven't seen you in a bit so I'm gonna get playful rough with you.

I do the nice to meet you dance. Lots of weird looks.

It's very culture specific: I shake hands with every single male friends, collogues, acquaintances every single day I see them. Sometimes I even exchange pecks on both cheeks while shaking hands with male relatives or friends. We also give pecks to each other with a lady if she leans in, but no hugging, not even side hugs. Hugs and pats on the back are only for immediate family or friends I haven't seen for ages. No high fives, fist bumps, elbow bumps.

Alphas are normally the most "beta" people you will ever meet. Best to ignore them.

FEW! Alpha males are definitely not my type. I tend to have a weakness for geeky intellectuals who have a sense of humor.

I never met someone who thinks he is an Alpha (whatever that means, but in my area of expertise an alpha version is just the first try with lots of mistakes and bugs)

Yawn. I am 6'2" and built like a linebacker. Most "alphas" who see me don't bother. The few that do I usually just smile at them until they go away. Usually less than 5 seconds.

It's like playing with a mouse :)

Honestly, the periods. I don't think I could handle a portion of that pain, and here we have girls and women who put up the s**t of daily life while dealing with that.

Best part: being less hairy. I hate body hair with a passion. Worst part... obviously patriarchy, but I think periods is probably second worst.

I don't know if it's the "best" part, but as a dude I'm very jealous of women's fashion and ability to accessorize. I mean, us dudes have surprisingly little variability in clothing, and without make up, if you're ugly, you just ugly. Plus rings and necklaces and so forth. It'd be nice to have options. I mean, obviously guys CAN wear these things, but on a level of social acceptability and manual labor jobs, it's not really feasible.

The second you get your period so many new concerns pop up. Especially if you live in a U.S. a state that has really strict laws on abortion, everything surrounding your period is scary. You don’t get your period, you might be pregnant and you only have two weeks to get it aborted if you are. You do get your period, you have to sit all day at school/work in pain planning out when you change your product. Twelve year old me should not have had to start worrying about that but I had to.

As a guy, I do not care if gay guys change in the same room as me.

This is the issue with the trans lobby. Gay people were never allowed, or invited, to switch locker rooms when it became legal. The decision was, and should be IMHO, based on biology and not psychology. Whilst I sympathise with those affected, I feel very strongly that one should accommodate the majority. Maybe there should be more "non-binary" areas, but I don't believe it's right to make him comfortable at the expense of making the females uncomfortable.

What kind of administration allows this? I mean, he may not be attracted to the girls, but they may be attracted to him, and that puts him in danger too. Plus, the girls deserve not to be put in that situation to begin with. What about their comfort? Not to mention the slippery slope of other people being creeps and trying to exploit the situation. That whole thing is absurd all around.

Should be fine, he's not attracted to you, so he won't harass you.

As a man, no i don't care if there's a gay guy changing in the men's locker room. It's the men's locker room. But this raises the point that so many people are happy to ignore while pandering to the smallest minority of the population, the fact that YOU are uncomfortable, does not give you the right to make anyone else uncomfortable. If the only solution anyone can come up with is to trade the comfort of one for the discomfort of someone else, or likely the discomfort of many then you haven't found a appropriate solution. You've just created new problems.

Unless I’m actively seeking a sexual relationship with someone, it doesn’t enter my head. Not my business and I’m puzzled why some people are so keen to tell me when it’s entirely irrelevant to our interaction. It’s not like I go to the grocer’s shop and say “Morning! 2 lb of oranges please and I’m heterosexual” 🙂

CROWLEY PFP (my poor heartbroken baby ;-;)

im a female and it just depends wat parts we have

Yes please I must know, what does it feel like???

To add a little bit to fair-weather-rose's excellent response below: sometimes my gender is a crushing weight of expectations, limitations, and demands, occasionally it can be a freedom, permission to be or do in a certain way, and, in special situations, it can be powerful...b/c of my sex i can cause certain men to behave in certain ways, or to allow themselves to feel certain things. But that last one is much more physical, much more intimate...where's the line between sex and gender? // How do you know you don't have a gender? What is that experience like? Please try to explain, too 🙂
