First of all, looks don't matter. If you are looking at it objectively, both sexes are equal. In that case, no offense ladies, guys have it easier. I'll elaborate.
Many of you say "women can do nothing, shake their ass, get everything given to them" and so on. At least in my opinion, this is not a "better life." Sure it may be easier, but that doesn't make it better. As guys, as unfortunate as it may be, we have more opporunities to succeed in what we choose. More jobs, different mindsets, and physical advantages that most women simply don't have. There are of course exceptions, but speaking generally, as the question suggests.
With these opportunities, we have the chance for a better life. Now it may be a little harder in some cases, or even easier. Regardless, i see better life as being one with many goals, experiences, and challenges, rather than simply sitting on your ass and doing nothing for all of it.
Plus, we don't give birth. We don't have periods. Did i mention we don't give birth?
Plus as far as sex goes, we have the upper hand, generally. Sure it may be harder for us to get, but that's half the fun. Most of the pleasure is centered around us. We get off everytime (usually), women don't. We have a more visually appealing partner to have sex with (big hairy dudes....im glad im not havin sex with those). We can have sex with millions of women and it's not too bad. A woman does that, she's a slut. Multiple orgasms? those are few and far between.
We don't have to watch our weight as much as a girl to not be scrutinized. Our clothes are less revealing. Granted women can get laid anyway, but in this respect we still win out.
No offense to women, but in this day and age, generally, guys have a better life i feel. Now there are plenty of exceptions, but on average, i would take a guy. All other things equal (motivation, wealth, intelligence, etc.), they have it better off.
