Guys & Girls

I thought this would be a funny topic to ask other people’s opinion on…

I was at a restaurant with a few friends the other day, 2 guys and 4 girls. My two guy friends found very amusing to talk about bodily functions (i.e. passing gas and the like), cracking up at times as us girls just kind of stared at them. One point one of them said “Oh you wouldn’t get it you are girls.”

What is a guy's fascination with fart jokes and the like? Is it just guy humor? Do I not "get it" because Im a girl? I’ll admit they sometimes they make me laugh but most of the time, I just dont find it funny.

Whats your opinion? Or if you have a funny stories, do tell LOL

 

Awesome book Tim....well worth the read Dyamond...explains everything.

 

You don't say how old the guys are but if they are getting so much amusement out of such things they sound rather young, i realize that guys find things funny that girls don't and their humor does tend to be vulgar at times as a guy i can laugh at a "dirty" joke and have been known to tell a few myself but i do restrain it in female company.

girl humor seems to be more in the line of commenting on the clothes or looks of other females but under the right circumstances ( when it's just girls)i think they can be just as crude as guys they just don't throw it in the face of mixed company (they are in the main more polite) http://bestsmileys.com/talking/3.gif

 

One is 19 the other is 20 something... I guess that kind of explains it huh?

 

why not? LOL

 

guys n gals have to be different.. if gals were just like guys, umm.. eww. it is the differeces that make it work. it's the yin / yang thing. girls cant be sugar & spice without fellas bein all snakes & snails.. its contrast, texture. sweet n salty good, bad.. wet or dry.. gotta have one for the other to mean anything at all.

i think i just confused myself..

 

LOL. I understand... I think :confused

Although I prefer my guys less snakey and slimey

 

who said anything bout slimey? its the sweetspicy snake

 

snails are slimey ewwwwwwww

 

The book that Tim initially mentioned will sum it up well for you

Us blokes are like that - I don't why but it's funny

 

Inside every adult male is the 10 year old. We learn to hide it, but the juvenile humor remains. And yes, we really do think differently, and use different parts of our brains. Even the parts we both use we (male/female) can use differently. But a lot of that is considered politically incorrect.

 

When I was young (er) I worked as a seamstress in a small workshop with about 5 other women. The tone of voice in there was more brutal than anything I've ever heard before or since, and I have worked in many totally male dominated places!

In defence, the level was a little more sophisticated than what you describe, dyamond, but I think learned just about everything I know about men and sex during that year... I was very young, and I listened with eyes wide... LOL

 

I walked into partsroom at work, that also houses the service counter.There was a handful of guys there and it stunk! I started to say "Man it reeks in here," when I noticed someone at the service counter, so I stopped. Out of sight of the customer was the partsmen at his computer doubled over in silent laughter. Had to be him. Later, I said to him that if this was a room full of women I'd be looking for the embarrassed looking one.

 

Potty humor is always in style with guys. I don't know why, but it's so.

 

roflmao How true! 'cept I try to keep a straight face and hope noone notices LOL

 

There are definately differences in the humour styles of men and women but to a certain extent they are merging (at least in australia)

Perhaps due to the media or more likely due to less constraint being placed on the thought processes of the female gender in the last 40 years.
Prim and proper is out, freedom of choice and thought is in :cool.

As Solange pointed out it isn't always the case though.
I have previously worked in a predominately female workplace and I have to admit they used to make me blush.
They appeared to have less constraint, were crass, cruel and intentionally hurtful in their jokes that were made about other workers who were out of ear-shot.

Even 'gas' jokes are in better taste than that, but I still think most people should grow out of them by the time they hit puberty.

 

SHANEMAIL shame on you, how dare you criticize the humor of other countries roflmao

the Aussies have got the weirdest sense of humor of all and with this strange slang that you use its sometimes difficult to even understand.

you guys can tell a joke and only another Aussie will get it.

(all said tongue in cheek)

Farts are funny.they make a "phhhh" sound and smell a bit like poo For some real laughs though a cigarette lighter is needed roflmao

 

LOL see thats exactly what Im talking about!! Why are farts so funny?

 

It is a worldwide phenomenon.

Well timed flatulence is always funny for some reason.

Because they're naughty,you shouldnt let them out in public because you will stink of poo and everyone around you will hold thier nose or want to leave,like if someone trips over in the street they dont mean to do it but it happens and its funny,the other strange thing is people dont mind thier own flavour and in some cases enjoy the a smell of thier own,the richer the better and bask in its glory roflmao

"Look what I have created! ahhhh get a lung full of that!"

 

roflmao

I've had one of my guy friends walk all the way across the room, fart in my vicinity, crack up and walk away leaving me with the smell rolleyes

 

Could be wrong, but I always assumed that to smell something you must be physically inhaling the particles

Still funny ?

 

Well all I can say, is that I've been in quiet a few situations where female company has taken delight in embarrassing me during the course of conversation. Their humour aint any 'cleaner', but is somewhat of a different tact. Then again, maybe I blush too easily, LoL . What they don't realise is that us ex-army guys have seen and heard waay worse. Guess the last laugh may be on them, eh?

This very board has had some light-hearted threads Re: 'Gas', involving a majority of women. I admit wearing a stanky emission like some kind of badge is a bit puerile for my tastes.:fart


..Sometimes the timing isn't reall good, though....

Yes.

I remember hearing this before, but I have nothing to back it up, but archaeoligists have found prehistoric caves drawings of "clouds" emitting from human rear ends dating back thousands of years.

roflmao Thats a great sibeer. I love it.

 

Geez, how many times have I heard comments made, that several women laughed at, only to be told it's a girl thing?

How many have I told a joke only to find only the other guy is listening, and had to pass it off as a guy joke?

 

And they're flammable. Seen it on some gross show, stupid things people do or something like that.

In fact I believe I heard stories of out houses exploding (old time ones)

 

This is funny I just stole it to send to my children. My children are in their 40's youngest is 37. In case I was shocking anyone. LOL

 

Honestly, I don't understand why, but for some reason, guys just find more humor in jokes involving the male genitalia and bodily functions. That being said however, I am the only guy in the salon I work at, and let tell you, the girls I work with (seeing as how the closes tome in age is still 8 or 9 years behind me) can and do get just as down and dirty with their humor. We all have a great time tho, and seeing as how I am not a 'threat' to them, we all get on great and keep the laughs flowing. (No scatological references intended )

The other day we got going back and forth and even the clients had a blast, I think that being able to do that is a good thing when you work in a place like a salon, because the clients see that you all get along and are a lot more relaxed and happy tom come to you for whatever they are having done.

IMHO only.

Of course, we also have a great group of people there. At my full time job, it is the exact opposite, the women there are b1tchy and nasty to each other, and if any of the 4 of us guys there happen to be in the way, forget about it, we're even more toast.

And they wonder why I won't give up the salon to pick up more OT at the Answering Service..... Daddy don't play that (actually, the funny part is, becasue of the age difference at the salon, and a couple other factors that introduced it, everyone calls me daddy there now ... heheh... of course, that means I can tell people not to mess with 'my' girls too... LOL)

@ calltaker - Can't you do your hair thing full time?

 

I wish I could, I still have to pull the full time at the Answering Service because the pay is just that good. Tough to give up $12/hr with full benefits. Our salon is getting busier, but I still don't quite make enough to do it full time. I may be getting a promotion soon, which would allow me to work full time for the salon, but unfortunately for now I am stuck with the 2 jobs and a crazy schedule.

I agree, dont get me wrong its not that I dont crack jokes, I do, just not around my male friends, well not atleast the way I do around my female friends. It's just my guy friends dont seem to know the limit, like when we are at a resturant and they are talking about physicals and poo.. I mean hello Im about to eat here!!

That why I was just curious to see why that stuff is such a hot topic LOL

 

This thread reminds me of the day I read in a newspaper of some scientific study that, after careful, regulated, and documented experiments and observations, determined that males and females think differently . . . I kid you not - I actually saw this. We all probably paid for it in taxes . . .

Hell, I coulda saved them some time and money. I figured that out in kindergarten . . .


LOL

 

Odd but true. I don't know how many guys have tried this, but when I was in university one of the first things I wanted to learn was to actually understand women. Funny part is I spent a couple of years reading feminist philosophy books only to figure out later that it's a lost cause. LOL

It's more productive to just be willing to listen, whether you're dealing with guys or girls. And it's no fun being the knowitall, no matter how knowledgeable you are. Socrates did not kid when he said that God alone is wise, and among people, he is wisest who realizes that his wisdom is worth nothing.

Chipper

 

That's so true it hurts.. but tell me, why are our ladies not at ease with themselves to let loose like us guys do? For instance, my Empress can't fart in my presence, she excuses herself, but me.. let's put it as she's now skilled enough to tell what I last ate from a single inhale...

 

Simply because its not a lady like thing to do, plus we get teased b/c for not "normally" doing it infront of a guy (well, I get teased LOL). In front of my female friends sure no problem but in front of my male friends..no way, my guy friends mock me ruthlessly if one happens to “slip”

 

Pull my finger...

 

It's a rude thing to do for either gender.

 

I totally agree with you Darlene.

I've avoided this thread of bodily functions and bodily noises. It is all a matter of manners and etiquette. I totally agree with you Darlene.

 

I think there is a time and a place for everything.

If your hangin with your girlfriends and one slips (cuz we ALL know you cant control those things LOL) not a big deal, you have a giggle b/c it is kinda funny but if you are in public, by no means do I think you should talk about it or try to promote it. Just my two cents

 

Uhhh........yeah!

A long time ago a bunch of us were in my buddies motel room. His girlfriend (who became his wife) figured she could sneak one out. One problem, she was sitting on the intake for the AC unit. She filled the whole room. We all let her have it, guys and girls. She laughed along with us though.

 

Ya know, that could be considered an act of terrorism! Maybe you should have read her the Patriot Act LOL.

I knew a lady that should have licensed her bottom as a W.O.M.D. Of course, I used to make her feel better by running from the room screaming .

 

I guess that means no? :major

 

Lol, Bill. My kids used to think "pull my finger" was a riot. My wife, not so much . . .
