Have you ever wondered what men really think or do? Then look no further. A recent internet survey asked, “What are some ‘guy secrets’ girls don’t know about?” Here are the top 16 answers:
Men Never Forget a Compliment
“I used the same conditioner until it went out of production because someone told me my hair felt soft and smelled nice.”
“Someone told me a certain shade of blue went well with the color of my eyes. I have a lot of shirts that are that color now.”
Sometimes Men Fake Confidence
“It’s more like a mask that we put on. Confidence is being okay with one’s shortcomings, but what a lot of us do is mask it. We still feel extremely hollow because of the insecurities.”
“That male confidence that you find attractive is us totally faking it while shaking on the inside.”
Men Struggle To Know When Someone Likes Them
“We NEVER know when you like us. I’m 48. Looking back. I messed up so much.”
“There is only one, and I mean ONE, way to tell a guy you like them. Tell him outright. No clever suggestions, no sneaky phrasing, just be blunt and serious about it.”
Men Can Be Friends for Years and Not Know Each Other’s Real Names
“My husband has a group of gamer friends, and one day they all decided to meet up in real life to attend a gaming competition. They’re all addressing each other by their gaming names. And it’s ridiculous, like, ‘Yo Dragonkiller, what size coffee do you want.”
“I worked with a guy for five years and called him Archie for all five years. It wasn’t until he died that I learned his name was Kevin. Same with the best man at my wedding. I knew him as Rick for years. It turns out his name was Curtis.”
Men Treat the Head-Nod Like a Language
“It’s weirdly sophisticated too. You can actually tell how comfortable guys are around each other based on if they say hello with an up-nod or a down-nod.”
“Up = Hi. Down = respect. Left = check this out. Right = need to talk to you.”
Some Men Like Being Given Flowers Too
“The day before, a very close female friend of mine gave me a flower. I can barely explain how amazing that made me feel. I almost cried. Needless to say, that memory has a golden spot in my brain.”
“Usually, the first time a man receives flowers is after he’s dead. I’m sure a lot of guys would seriously appreciate getting flowers.”
Men Don’t Like To Put Their Worries Onto Other People
“We don’t want to tell you that certain things are worrying us because we don’t want you to worry either. Now there are just two people worrying, whereas before, one was worrying, and the other was happy.”
“It’s a bit different if the person you’re telling can do something about the issue, but for something currently unsolvable, there’s no reason to extend the misery to anyone else.”
Men Don’t Go to the Gym Just To Look Good for Women
“Keep at it until you feel good. That’s all that matters. Also, who thinks of going to the gym just to hit on people? That’s kind of weird and uncomfortable to think about.”
“I like going to the gym because every time I do a rep, it feels like I’m the Hulk.”
Men Pick the Urinal They Use Very Carefully
“Always at least one empty space between dudes. If not possible, we go to the poopoo stall, even if it’s for peepee. If not possible, we wait.”
“I had a coworker who I despised, and, who would have guessed, he’s a middle urinal user, which completely makes the two next to him unusable. I’m glad he’s gone.”
Communicating With Men Is Easier if You Are Direct
“This is true with guys who have a normal and reasonable approach to listening. It’s not true with guys who either don’t realize or don’t care how bad they are at paying attention to other people.”
“I agree. A girl telling me directly what she wants or needs will almost always gain my undivided attention. Unfortunately, that is because it is so unusual to happen.”
Men Think About the Dumbest Things When They’re Bored
“My girlfriend asked me if this is true. I told her right now, I’m imagining being a little action figure-sized dude and trying to make my way from one side of the room to the other using whatever pipes or wires are available.”
“I had to tell her that I was wondering if the singer from Pump Up the Jams walks around telling people to pump various things up.”
Sometimes When They Pee, the Stream Breaks Into Two
“It’s surprisingly cool every time, unless one of the streams kicks out at a 45-degree angle and pees on the floor.”
“The degrees and separate streamlines happen to women too. We just don’t pee on the floor.”
They Like To Be Childish Sometimes
“I like being childish, and if I trust you enough, I will be childish around you.”
“My girlfriend said that she thought I was scary for a while until we started dating because I was always serious, but then she got to know the more comfortable version of me.”
They Fear They Are Loved for Their Value, Not for Who They Are
“Men, in society, are valued only by what they provide, and you are expected to be perfectly stoic about it. Even after you are discarded by society.”
“Fear of being loved for the value of providing; fear of only being loved for what we give rather than for who we are.”
Men Can Get Lost In Their Thoughts, They Aren’t Ignoring You
“If it looks like I’m ignoring you, I’m probably just so deep in thought that I forgot I actually existed.”
“There is like a 50% chance we are indeed thinking about nothing and a 50% chance we are thinking about something very ridiculous.”
They Have No Control Over What They Do in Your Dreams
“My girlfriend gets genuinely upset when I cheat on her in a dream. I don’t get it.”
“Oh man, once I dreamed I slapped my husband and felt so bad when I woke up I had to cuddle him and apologize!”
