Curious To Know, Is This Practice Normal Among Men....Or Is It Just My Nasty Guy Friends? lol Why Don't Men..

Question: Wash their hands after using the restroom? Over the weekend, two of my best guy friends came to visit me. They both used the restroom, and seeing as how my bedroom is RIGHT next to the bathroom, I know for a fact that they didn't wash their hands after using it...mainly because I heard a flush and then out they walked. It's also not just those two that i've noticed doing it...I know that my ex boyfriend would do the same thing, which I thought was kinda weird. My question is, isn't this unsanitary? Do men feel like they don't have to wash their hands after using the restroom because they aren't really touching anything? Is this something that a lot of guys do? I know some women do it, which I feel is beyond nasty...especially considering everything you have to touch. I'm just wondering if it isn't just as unhealthy when guys do it, as it is when women do it? Or are guys allowed more leeway, because they don't have to go through the same process women do?

Answers:
Unfortunately, it is "normal". Not right, but normal. Not sanitary either. My thought is that its the convenience factor (or inconvenience of stopping to wash). Also, moms are often the mentor and set the standard for kids. I think much more attention is given to teaching our little girls how to care for themselves than we do teaching our sons.

I just don't think that it matters to a lot of guys.
