Most people have probably all noticed that males seem to fart more than females; right?

Is it more to the fact that males celebrate their farting more, even boast about it at times, such that it's more noticeable that it's happening, or is there some kind of biological thing going on?

Averett

Hmm... I'm not sure if there are any biological connections, but it does seem like men do more than women.

But I think they're just more open. They just... let it out so to speak. Women tend not to. Unless they're alone, then all bets are off. Err... not that I would know or anything

I'd say that I let 'em rip more that my wife does, but right now she's pregnant and I just can't keep up with her!

Averett is right, IMO. We males just don't care (in some circumstances).

I think it is sexy when a woman let's one out once in a while. Just shows that she's not uptight and finds humor in one's natural excremental functions.

Well the general line of thought that I know is...
Guys fart more, but when girls...
RUN!

A friend once explained it this way:

Men fart more than women because women never close their mouths long enough to build up the required pressure.


(Apologies to all the women on TFP. You still love fhqwhgads, right?)

Women just hide it better. Us men just lit them rip. Sometimes by choice. Sometimes not.

It only seems like boys fart more because, at certain ages, they treat farting like performance art.

pocon1

you mean there is an age limitation to performance farting?

Bentley Little

That is hysterical! ROTF LMAO.

My wife thinks farts are funny, which is good too because I let'm rip alot.

But I think that women were just raised to not do that stuff since it isn't lady-like, but, well for boys, no such thing is ever spoken to a boy by his dad. "Son, you just fart way too much" will never be uttered by a father.

I don't think farting is funny, but I don't prohibit it. I only hate them because they STINK SO GODDAMN BADLY!

I don't fart. Very rarely will I, and I know that my boyfriend more than makes up for my lack. It may be biological, or it may be the fact that he has horrible digestion and mine is better (or vice versa).

Diet plays a large part in it as well. Women tend to eat...a little better than most men.

The SBD's are worse than the Loud ones..

Much to the chagrin of my mother(She's given up all hope that I'll ever be ladylike) , I think farts are hysterical (especially at the most inappropriate times - and I generally have to leave the room because I can't stop laughing.

I got scolded for teaching the rugrats this poem:
Beans Beans, good for your heart
Beans beans they make you fart
The more you fart the better you feel,
SO eat beans at every meal


So, have you ever lit farts?

Man, this is a very informative thread, and will cause me to grow as a person, I evolve as I read it, and absorb the words. Just kidding, it's actually pretty damn funny that we're talking about farts, because I know I fart WAY more than my girlfriend. We're talking a 20:1 here friends.

Biology has nothing to do with it. Men and women both fart on average around 14 times a day (according to a study I read a while back). Obviously some people do more than others but that generally depends on the composition of your diet. I would say that the apparent disparity is due to the different social pressures that men and women are exposed too.

I always avoid farting in front of girls I like at all costs. Even if I have been with her for a long time. I have lived with 2 different girls and I have very very rarely done that.

I can't remember a girl I was with ever letting one "rip" in front of me. Which is good. Something about hearing that from a girlfriend just turns me off...

You must be uncomfortable a lot.

I'm a veritable wind machine. Not sure what it is, but there's sure a lot of air that needs to vacate my colon on a daily basis. Feel nice to let it out. Everybody does, even your girlfriend.

I let'em rip all day, even at work. I'd say about 20-30 a day. I should figure out some way to siphon them and sell them to Exxon.

A fart is a turd honking to get in line to get out!!

My friend think farts are funny, so I always wait for him to drink something and I try to rip a loud one....

I had some wierd guy tell me this once:

Can't say that I've thought about it since.

Therein lies the problem. Women don't think farting is funny!

With men, it never stops being funny. Howard Stern once had a
routine whereby each cast member left the room and farted into a recorder. (don't ask me how they farted on cue!) They then had to sit and try and guess which fart belonged to whom. Then the discussion digressed into WHAT was the food that produced which fart.

Another thought...I think farting is one of the few things you can do when you're dead.

also...farts are like snowflakes, no two are alike. That's all I can think of at the moment...fartically speaking.

hmmm, it may seem like I am at one extreme of the bell curve then.
The worst is when I have farted at work, and realized it was a "strong" one, and been forced out of my own cube. I then hope no one comes to visit me soon.

maleficent

I had a roommate once that swore she never farted, she made what she sweetly called - fanny burps-- uhh huh- and she didn't ever sweat - she glowed too...

Ive been with my g/f for almost 4 years and none of us have farted in front of eachother, I find it disgusting if a girl farts, I will be permanatly turned off, no matter how hot she is.

erion

Farting is a continual battle in our house. She doesn't deny that she farts, but she denies that hers smell. I wish there was a way to get a recording of an odor. . .

animosity

LMAO! i almost fell out of my chair on that one. :

i know i fart about 10-30 times a day, depending on who i am around... no point in building up pressure. i figure that cant be good.

it seems like i read somewhere that the average person lets one loose 3-4 times a day... that cant be accurate. maybe im just weird.

p0thead

i liked it when my gf first farted in front of me... showed that she was comfortable enuf to do that. i dont want someone to be uncomfortable holding in their fart. that's just mean

meembo

yes.
we do.

I dated a guy like that in high school. Good Lord, am I ever so thankful I didn't end up marrying him!!

Rdr4evr

What are you trying to say, that you fart too much?

Trisk

I've heard some really bad stories about fart lighting backfiring

Anyway...I know I fart a decent amount but I always go to efforts to make it as soundless as possible....and then to evacuate the area once I've let a smelly one loose
Meanwhile, my brother will fart and if the sound didn't alert everyone, he makes sure to tell us all that he has just farted.

la petite moi

Women are just more open- I fart just as much as my male counterpart, but he is just prouder of his butt burps.

xxSquirtxx

Hehe. No. Didn't think of that....he was of the mindset that "girls don't do that, and I'd be so disgusted if you did that."

Fremen

Blame it on the dog. They can't deny it.

(i don't want this to sound mean or preachy, but here goes...) i hope that before you transition from g/f to wife, you get over your inhibitions and learn to be open and honest with one another.

that being said, everyone has a right to live how they want, and if you both choose to omit this part of reality and you both agree, then you're perfect for each other. be happy you've found someone just like you.
