They say women are from Venus and men are from Mars, and sometimes it really does feel like this is true. Someone recently asked online, “Men of Reddit, what’s one thing you will never understand about women?” We collected the top 23 responses.
How Much Hair They Shed
“Based on the amount of hair I have seen in the bathroom, and that I somehow still keep finding in my clothes/butt, how do you still have so much hair on your head?”
“Because the hairs fall out/grow in cycles. You’re supposed to lose around 100 strands of hair a day. New ones will take their place and also eventually fall out.”
Broken Conversations
“Why does she start a conversation, then continue it after walking into another room where she can’t be heard?”
“Or, out of nowhere, starting up part of the way into a conversation where the first part obviously took place internally. We need to be informed of how the conversation was going in the previous venue and whether the in-your-head version of ourselves started any fires we need to put out.”
Taking Dreams Seriously
“I’ve been in trouble with my wife for doing something in one of her dreams!”
“Had a girl wake up mad at me for something she dreamed about, then tell her best friend and FAIL TO MENTION THAT IT DIDN’T HAPPEN.”
“I had a dream that my ex cheated on me, I then told her, and she started crying about why I dreamed that. No amount of assuring her that it was just a dream helped.”
Eating Food They Said They Didn’t Want
“When she says, “I’ll just have some of yours.” No. I want all of mine; that’s the point. I’ll just get two and finish yours.”
“Always order double your order for these situations. I learned that real quick.”
“Every time she wants nothing from McDonald’s, she ends up eating all my fries!”
Inconsistent Clothing Sizes
“Why are sizes so random? A size four in one store could be a nine somewhere else.”
“We don’t get it either, and we don’t like it. The fashion industry refuses to standardize sizes, make big bras, or put useable pockets on our clothing.”
“My best friend says women’s sizing depends on your horoscope and your immediate proximity to a chicken.”
Instant Rage At Past Events
“How a woman can instantly tap into the rage they experienced from an argument we had two years ago, and I don’t even remember it happening.”
“They clearly have storage specifically for past rage. But where is this storage? They don’t even have pockets.”
“This. If your lady does this, it’s because it’s an unresolved issue.”
How Small Their Pockets Are
“I wear men’s pants because of this. Those shallow pockets couldn’t hold an m&m.”
“Pockets went away because 20th-century fashion silhouettes were too slim for pockets, the cost of installing pockets for manufacturers, and that women’s clothing is made of weaker fabrics that aren’t suitable for pockets.”
“It’s so impractical and annoying. Fake pockets are the most infuriating thing too!”
Not Being Able To Choose A Restaurant
“It’s called decision fatigue. From the minute I get up, I have to start thinking about breakfast, lunch, dinner, hockey practice, etc. So when my husband asks me to make some sort of decision, I just don’t want to.”
“The worst are women who tell you to pick and then turn their nose up at every option.”
The Number Of Hair Ties Everywhere
“Are you planting hair ties and bobby pins everywhere to mark your territory?”
“This actually came up in a previous relationship when my girlfriend found a “foreign” bobby pin in one of my drawers and freaked out about it. I casually explained that she was not the first girlfriend I ever had who left hair accessories in every available place.”
Signals That Are Too Subtle
“I have heard complaints from women that a man isn’t “picking up what they’re putting down.” And my advice every single time is that they need to TELL them directly.”
“The signals they give to men to show they like them or are interested are confusing and aren’t noticed, or even interpreted as signals.”
“Walking past us in a cute outfit or dropping hints is NOT communication.”
Over-sharing
“Why do they discuss very intimate details of our sex lives with their friends?”
“It’s a pretty massive violation of trust that’s just accepted as normal.”
“My girlfriend casually showed her friend a photo of me without clothes, and I was genuinely shocked and betrayed. I honestly didn’t even know how to address it.”
Impressive Past Recollections
“How in the world do they remember minute details of something I did wrong 27 months ago of the moment an argument starts?”
“Because we will sit and think about what it meant for three weeks.”
“But all of a sudden, they don’t remember details when it’s not to their benefit. I have a great memory, but my wife has great selective memory.”
Super Thin Clothing
“Because the fast fashion industry profits when clothing is thin and wears out quickly as a result. That’s capitalism, baby!”
“Don’t forget that you will also need an undershirt because your blouse is sheer. And also a cardigan so that you stay warm. You just turned 1 top into 3.”
“I think it might be archetypal in nature: floaty, soft layers are more feminine.”
Not Chatting On Dating Apps
“Why do they match with you on a dating app but never talk?”
“Women match with a lot of people on dating apps. There’s no way anyone has enough time to simultaneously chat with 100 people, so you have to prioritize.”
“I can answer this one. They get frustrated finding no matches from their three right swipes and 997 left swipes, so they match everyone.”
Physical Insecurities
“Why can they can never see how pretty they are to us?”
“They likely grew up with a mother who would say things like, “You would be so pretty if you…” which leads one to believe that you don’t look good the way you are.”
“There are a lot of dudes who make “2/10: elbows too pointy” comments about actual supermodels, and your girl has dated at least one such dude who gave her a complex.”
Mind Games
“Once had a girlfriend who would intentionally wait longer to respond to some people’s texts than others. Like a whole mental tier list of who was important enough to get immediate responses and who had to wait. Crazy.”
“At least she waved that red flag around openly.”
“My friend constantly sees if her BF is online or not. If he doesn’t text back fast enough, she will check if he’s on social media. If he’s active, she destroys him.”
Planned Pregnancy
“Why would anyone ever want to be pregnant? I watched my wife push out two kids with no drugs, and you all have my undying respect. Courage is defined as a woman who intentionally gets pregnant, knowing what that actually entails. Hats off to you!”
“It took me a long time to understand that some women not only want kids but find something positive about the experience of pregnancy itself.”
Really Long Nails
“Having long velociraptor claw-like nails is perhaps the most unattractive thing of all time and seems so impractical.”
“It’s just personal preference. I tried them out once, and it was difficult for me to do basic tasks. I have other friends who don’t struggle like me and enjoy getting custom designs done. Women do it for themselves and not to impress others.”
Saying It’s Fine
“For me, it’s more like “I’m a little annoyed, but it’ll pass, and it’s not really important enough to bicker about.” So, it will be fine, just maybe a little less than fine right now.”
“Because I have no interest in discussing again; nothing has changed, and it’s exhausting. I’m still annoyed, but I’ll get over it.”
Very Specific Temperature Requirements
“Why do you want to turn up the heat in the passenger side of the car and then move the vent away from you? It makes absolutely no sense to me.”
‘Because when it’s blowing directly on the same spot, it starts to get too hot and uncomfortable. I want to be warm, not cooked.”
“Direct heat is uncomfortable and dries up my skin too much.”
Unexplained Kitchen Mess
“How my wife can use three spatulas, two frying pans, and eight spoons and turn our kitchen into a military mess hall to make a single grilled cheese sandwich.”
“A couple of weeks ago, I had made dinner, and my husband was doing the dishes. I found him staring into the sink. I asked if he was ok, and he said in the smallest, most defeated, and confused voice, “I just… I just don’t understand how you used literally every spoon.” Sorry!”
Deep-cleaning Before Guests
“We are having company? SCRUB THE BASEBOARDS! VACUUM THE CEILING! CLEAN THE LINT TRAP IN THE DRYER! WE CANT LET ANYONE KNOW PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIVE HERE!”
“I understand tidying up, but it’s always an hour before company comes over, and I’m having to deep clean the whole house.”
Shaving Their Eyebrows Off
“I’m specifically talking about shaving off eyebrows and drawing them back on for vanity reasons. I don’t know why anyone would do this; eyebrows help convey emotions and feelings through different facial expressions.”
“Trimming eyebrows looks aesthetically better. However, you are only noticing the people who have done too much. It’s like plastic surgery; you only notice it when it fails.”
