I think i may have misunderstood the title of this thread. I took it to mean what the best part of being a woman seemed to be from a male perspective. But i have read the whole thread now and both men and women comment on what they think is best if they were the other gender, so my comment about orgasms doesn't seem like it didn't belong.
@Smoka90, your last comment seemed to say how it is being a male, but your profile says female, left me a little bit confused, but i guess it means what you think the best things about being male is from your female perspective. I checked a lot of gender profiles when reading this thread to see where people where coming from when making their statements.
I agree with you about that whole strong, confident (on the outside) and i'd like to add, inability to admit to mistakes, feeling like they have to prove themselves over other men, not backing down no matter what, and several other ways that some men behave. A behavior or code i like to refer to as machismo, and it's generally bad. As i've stated before in another thread, i think being macho is the opposite of being intelligent. It's a set of rules that dictates how one should act at all times without having to resort to actual thinking or self-reflection.
Being masculine is fine, with no false confidence, where you have this constant need to prove yourself all the time, but real confidence; being comfortable with who you are, your gender and your sexuality. A confidence that doesn't make you afraid to admit if you're in the wrong, that you have insecurities or feelings like we all have. There is a natural calm, congenial and undemonstrative self-assurance that i associate with real masculine men.
That being said i'd like to restate something i also said in another thread (and in a private conversation). I don't think there is all that much difference between men and women, we just tend to focus on the differences a lot more than the similarities. Everyone i know really well i don't think of primarily as a man or a woman. I think of them as kind, mean, honest, untrustworthy, generous, intense or calm and a host of other things. In short i think of them as people. Whether they be man or a woman comes far down my list of how i think of them (only exception here is if there's sexual interest involved, then gender moves quite a ways up that list for me, being straight).
