ManFAQ Friday: Lids Down, Gents

It’s Friday, and that means answer time! For those of you who have commented with questions from previous ManFAQs, thank you. I’m adding yours to the list of questions women have asked about men over the years, and I will answer them all in turn – to continue to demystify the more malodorous gender for those of the gentler.  Actual questions, posed by real women, and answered by a REAL man. What could go wrong?


Question:   Why do most men hate fuzzy toilet seat covers?

Answer:    I’d love to say that it’s a macho thing, that fuzzy toilet seat covers seem less masculine, and we don’t want other guys laughing at us when they come over and use the can. 

Because most guys don’t want to admit the truth.  Mostly it’s a question of having a something to sit on when we’re getting into or out of the shower.  Now this may come as a surprise to you, but women are built differently than men.  When we sit down on that thing, if it’s fuzzy, it’s going to tickle.  This then leads to thoughts of other things that tickle our junk down there, and then we’re starting to fantasize about the toilet seat cover, which is too weird even for me, and we feel like pervs.  (The fact that most of us *are* pervs is beside the point, thank you very much.)


Now you know. Please, feel free to comment with any questions you’d like answered!

  2. @Rin, that’s reason enough to switch dentists for me!

  3. but… this makes me so happy…

    why on earth did you not just leave the seat down next time you peed and give her your most beatific smile on the way out? she’d never be able to accuse you of anything, since women leave nasty dribbly messes all the damn time.

  4. Orange,

    I have tried that many times. All I do is get in the dumps and get no “Hey Hey” for a few days…. I rather leave the seat up…

  5. […] the lid.  It’s what we do, and if we all do it, it’s fair.  As long as it’s not a fuzzy lid, we’re all good with that.  Second, it adds the element of surprise.  If the lid’s up […]
