it's an age old question i'm sure; why do men enjoy doing stupid things? on all these YouTube videos and on various home video tv shows, we see men/boys doing dim things such as snowboarding off a roof in mid-summer, riding in a shopping cart down a bumpy rock filled hill, and drinking themselves into a state of such drunkeness that they run about outside in public in the nude (and they of course always end up getting hurt or arrested).
i'm not saying women are immune to doing stupid things, but it seems that men do them FAR more often. are men lacking common sense? when a man knows he could get hurt doing something idiotic, why will he do it anyway?

To be fair I think the topic is BS, women are also capable of stupid things.

Capable, yes. Likely, No. The question is, why do men do these things way more often.

Gosh I hate these types of topics, especially as women are more than capable of doing the same stupid stuff.

Girls do stupid things too, trust me.

It does seem that you're more likely to find proof of guys doing it tho, dunno why that is.

Until you hit the kerb and fall out onto the pavement, or fall backwards into the trolley, both of those hurt

I have to agree, but sadly I do wonder if things were different, what then?
