Redesigning men and women

Just wondering. . . in light of modern times . . .

If you were a supreme male being, how would you redesign women?

If you were a supreme female being how would you redesign men?

It may be physically, emotionally, spiritually, whatever. Just curious.
 
I'd get rid of or make it impossible to get various diseases and cancers and whatnot.
 
I'd improve them all in accordance with my values while maintaining some diversity. One improvement would be a stronger instinct to explore space and spread out.
 
I got into this as the result of a comment by an old friend, and I know a lot of folks must have heard it before, but . .

He said he would put the boobs on the back and operating instructions on the belly if he had the opportunity to redesign women. Crude, but effective I supose.

Me too.

And here I always thought I was just weird. I'm so glad it isn't just me. :)

I would also get rid of all facial hair. Speaking of hair, I think the thinning of hair with aging is just a huge annoyance to everyone (especially men), so that would have to go as well.
 
I would put the reproduction on predetermined cycle instead of any old time. Like many animals who always give birth around the same time of the year. No real reason. I just think it would be interesting to see what culture would arise. Singles bars would not be around, but I'm sure the annual "spawning" rituals would be fun.

I'm actually rather offended by that. Of all the men I know with thining hair, only 2 are upset about it. Most of them think it's funny and personally I'd be happier if it all fell out one day. On the other hand, women are usually quite upset about their own hair loss, so I'd make sure all women could keep a thick, full head of hair.
 
Do what you like with the men - but don't change the women.




. . . . Er . . . unless its to make them think I am witty and interesting, but I don't foresee that technology existing within my lifetime.



NA
 
I think interchangeable parts would be nice, heres a spleen, no tissue match.
The ability to turn off pain for periods.( I had an abcessed tooth three years ago, I was so sore I couldn't open my jaw to eat.)
 
Although we all started out rather dark at some point in our distant past, the ethnic divisions by skin color that developed ever since Homo Sapiens cut a trail from Africa have, and are still causing many problems for mankind.

I think I would redesign everyone with more or less the same skin color, maybe a nice green so we would blend in well with nature.

I would make all "Holy" men a bright safety orange so we could see them coming a long way off and thereby be able to take corrective measures earlier.

Sorry if my comment came across as insensitive. Apparently your experience differs from mine.

Edited for clarity.

Sorry, I should have added a smiley. I wasn't greatly offended, just a bit taken aback at the thought that someone felt my balding pate was a problem. I have always laughed at men who worry about normal male pattern baldness. Most of the surveys I've seen show that the majority of women over the age of 18 say that bald or balding men are either as attractive or more attractive then men with hair.

It's only a problem if you have a comb-over. :)
I was more concerned, actually, about the effect it seems to have on some men's self-image. Some guys have the attitude, "No problem; I'll just shave my head." Other guys fret about it. Maybe some guys don't care either way. I've never met a guy who was happy about developing a bald spot, though. ("Yes! Finally, the bald patch I've been waiting for!")

Wait a minute. "Bald" and "balding" are separate issues. Personally, although I prefer men to have long, thick hair, I recognize that bald men can be sexy. There are some really hot bald guys in my department right now to prove it.
As for men who are "balding," although it doesn't necessarily detract from their looks, I would be surprised if a majority of women found it enhanced their looks. And when some men try to hide it with comb-overs....arghhhhhh.....clueless.

Your surveys, as you quoted them, do not distinguish between bald/balding and as/more attractive, so I can't use them to decide whether most women would agree with me on this or not.

Anyway, my plan for redesigning the sexes would in no way prevent men from shaving their heads.
 
I wouldn't put the waste disposal center so close to the recreation area.
 
If I was god... how would I redesign men and women...

First, for every one man there would be 3 women... not so that every man can have 3 women... I just think of women as being the most beautiful of all the things to be witnessed with the human eye

I would give all people born without legs the ability to hover above the ground... maximum hover speed approximately 20 mph

I would do away with blood types

Upon birth, as the child comes out I would have laser lights and techno music play from the womb

I would make demons, much like in the show Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel... just for fun

Vampires would be real

I would make everybody's blood run cold and black, so to be more like mine

I would make morbid obesity a thing of the past

I'd do away with the appendix... all that thing is good for is exploding... and people dont like exploding

I would make Wiccan Magycks something that actually produces real results

I'd invent a machine to translate animal thoughts and noises into human words

I would make AOL less horrible

I'd invent a machine that could suck the soul out of human body... just for fun

I'd make Hell a real place... but there would be many Hell dimensions... much like the Buffy show

I would do away with people having to need braces... everybody hates braces and cost too much money

I would do away with racism, sexism, and descrimination... but in doing that I'd have to balance it out by making Langoliers... the langoliers however will only occupy a small island off of Greenland and would never leave

I would give myself a more fruitful acting career

I would create a constellation in the sky that would look like a monkey eating a human

I would make it so anyone urinating in a swimming poop will become temporariliy colored green

I would build a huge supercomputer that could answer any question that you give to it in unfathomable time. Ask it something personal like "What do I keep under my bed" and it replies back "Pictures of kittens". Ask it "Where are my car keys" and it replies back "On top of the TV, behind your underwear". Ask it "How's the weather going to be tommorrow" and it says back "Pretty Crappy. Stay inside." "What's next weeks lottery numbers" "I'm sorry, that would be cheating". "Whats the meaning of life" and the computer pauses for a few seconds and then says "Give me about 5 seconds... ... ... ... 42"

That is just what I would create... I wouldnt do away with evil or most diseases though... then we'd be over populated...
