If you have other funny lists of this sort, please post them here as well.

[zibo]

This is awesome, do you have more of it ?

[Lucifus]

Holy crap, I laughed my azz off at so many of these. They're all pretty much 100% accurate too.

[Terracosmo]

The funniest part about this is that not even half of those fit on my life. Hell, not even a quarter. *eyes his handbag* Then again, is anyone surprised?

But there's one in particular that's interesting, and that's the one about "needing a support group in order to go to the bathroom". I've always wondered, what the hell is up with that? Women always head to the bathroom in a group. It's utterly disgusting. Who wants to be in the company of a friend urinating? (sure us guys have that "opportunity" in most bathrooms, but who'd do it by sheer will?)

Fucked up I tell you.

[LaZie]

Sad but all true

[samsonlonghair]

87. You can rationalize any behavior with the handy phrase "Screw it."

88. If another guy shows up at the party in the same outfit, you just might become lifelong buddies.

[bagandscalpel]

6Zabuza9, that "YOU KNOW YOU'RE CHINESE WHEN..." list creeps me out. A good 50%~55% is dead on, in my case.

It now feels like there's a guy living in my ceiling, jotting down many of my habits.

[Kraco]

Funny lists. I had only seen very short "great to be guy" lists before, but that 100 one was very smart.

[Psyke]

This thread makes me feel lucky to be born a guy. As for the chinese list, it's pretty much accurate, but applies more to our fathers' generations. Chinese kids these days aren't really that conservative or value centered, especially those not from Mainland China.

[Lucifus]

Add to 100 reasons why its great to be a guy.

101. "You find the idea of a piece of cloth riding up your azz revolting!"

[samsonlonghair]

102. Happiness can be bought in the form of a portable electronics device.

Oooh. It has buttons and blinking lights! I must buy it!

[Lucifus]

102. Happiness can be bought in the form of a portable electronics device.

Oooh. It has buttons and blinking lights! I must buy it!

Correct! A PSP and Loco Roco is portable joy. Happiness in a can....

[BioAlien]

best one:
38. You can write your name in the snow.

nice thread

[gr3atfull]

72. Wedding dress: $2,000; tuxedo rental: $75.

So true. >.<

[Board of Command]

16. You don't have to lug a bag of useful stuff around everywhere you go.

This one put a big smirk on my face.

[Raven]

In my opinion at least half of these, if not two thirds are not accurate these days. At least, with me and most guys I know. I guess it just depends on the type of guy you are.

*High-5s Terra*

[Assassin]

dammit raven, you're ruining the vibe

*kicks raven out of the conversation*

*grumbles something about aussies under his breath*
