The reason probably mainly lies in upbringing and social expectations. Boys and men generally aren’t expected to be particularly graceful. Being somewhat rude at times is often actually encouraged – mostly by other men. Meanwhile, they’re usually discouraged from showing emotions that might appear to display “weakness”, such as shame. So it shouldn’t be surprising if men act amused rather than embarrassed when they let one rip.

That said, there are plenty of women who also laugh at farts. And honestly, laughing is probably not that bad an option. Everybody passes wind sometimes, and when it happens you can laugh, act ashamed or pretend nothing happened. Out of those choices, laughing easily seems to be the best one. If you’re going to have to endure the smell anyway, you might as well at least get a laugh out of it.

There are a few fundamental differences between men and women. It’s a simple fact, but not necessarily a problem. If both sides accept the differences, and accept that opinions on some things will always differ, things will work out perfectly fine.

However, to accept the differences, you have to know them. And that’s where this side comes in. It’s filled with lots of things most men would agree on, but which many women just don’t seem to know or understand. So if you’re a woman, read everything carefully and profit from your knowledge in future relationships.

That said, I readily admit that most men don’t understand women either. If you’re a woman who thinks she can help men understand other women, many of us would love to read your advice. So by all means, set up a similar site about women for men!
