How do you think it would be if you were a boy/girl?

I've sometimes wondered, what would my life be if I were a boy instead of a girl. Especially around the time when I started dating. In primary/high school, boys would come up to me to ask me for a date, and sometimes (it's cruel I know) I would toy with them, especially if I saw that they really liked me and they were nervous to talk to me. So I wonder how I would have been if I was the boy coming to ask me out on a date (you know what I mean!) Have you ever wondered how it would be if you were the opposite gender?

hmmm, I really don't know because I never wanted to be a girl :) well, I have lied. I have wanted to be a girl once, just to see what it is to be someone from the opposite gender. well, i guess my life wouldn't be much more different than the one I am living now, maybe the only different things would be my clothes :)

Your clothes only? No way... you'll have a lot more to lose: your pen!s would turn into a v@gina, your manly chest would be replaced with soft boobs and all your bodily hairs would either disappear or become almost unnoticeable. Oh, and don't forget, you'd be getting periods. AND you'd be capable of giving birth to another human being... So, phoenix, a LOT of thing would be different!

All I can say is - endless shaving! hahaha.. my brothers and father have lots of hair to cover for shaving every morning, so if I were one of them I'd join the shaving team. Kidding aside, I never really thought about it till now. I have always accepted that I'm a girl and neither do I envy their gender. Yes, they have it good at home because most of the chores goes to the girls in the family, but still they're the ones pressured by society to provide for the family and 'wear the pants'. But in this world where the gap of the sexes has been narrowed and almost reverse, I don't think what we are down below matters anymore. I think it's how we carry ourselves that truly matter. Therefore, I don't think my life would change that much if I were a man instead of a woman. I think what would certainly be lacking is a few regimen on my vanity table and a lot of gadgets and gym smelling stuff.

Hehe, Laydee, if your brothers have so much hair, then maybe it runs in the family... don't you shave your legs often too? - just kidding! Don't get me wrong, I love being a woman... I wouldn't trade it for anything. It's just when I think about how mean me and my girlfriends at school used to be to shy guys, I kinda wonder how they guys felt. I'm engaged to be married, and believe me, I know what my fiance goes through as a man, and I'm glad I'm not the man. And for the things I do in the home to support him, I'm sure he's glad he's not the woman!
