They say women are from Venus and men are from Mars , which isn’t necessarily true, but also kind of is. The average man is going to act pretty differently compared to the average woman.
So, of course women are going to find some things about men confusing . And vice versa, too. But in this list, it’s all about women’s questions about men.
RELATED STORIES
Girls? I thought you said grills!
“The obsession with being the one who is the master of the barbecue.”
This feels like such a dad thing to me. No one can be around the barbecue other than the man of the house!
The answer: testosterone.
“Why do men always have the prettiest and longest lashes?”
Like, I get it and all, but seeing as women are always expected to have long, pretty eyelashes, it’s kind of annoying. Only a little bit, though.
‘Tis but a flesh wound.
“When guys are seriously injured but act like its just a scratch… that they can somehow walk it off. All the guys I know are like this.”
A commenter responded with, “A serious answer is because we don’t want to panic and cause an issue.”
I need answers. Is this real?
“I’m a dude, but why do we all pretty much collectively enjoy digging random holes? Especially at the beach.”
I can’t say I’ve ever felt the urge to… dig a hole. So I seriously need to know if this is a thing.
‘Inside me there are two wolves.’
“When they behave as the smartest man in the world and five minutes later as the village idiot.”
I want to say it just boils down to the difference between being smart and being intelligent.
Going to the bathroom? See you in a couple hours.
“Why pooping takes so long.”
Another Redditor gave a pretty convincing answer: “That’s usually because I’m reading something on Reddit and want to finish before I have to face the world again.”
No thoughts, head empty.
“When my boyfriend is quiet for too long and I ask him what he’s thinking about, and he says simply, “nothing”, and shrugs. This happens at least twice a month.
“What … what do you mean … nothing???? You can actively sit there and just wipe your brain clean??? No buzz buzz?? Just elevator music behind the eyes???”
Please take care of yourselves.
“Why some men don’t go to the doctor or dentist, unless someone else makes the appointment for them.”
If you think something might be wrong with your health/dental health, you should probably get it checked out. Just saying.
I guess that’s what windows are for?
“I’ve learned a lot being married to my husband, but there’s one thing I fail to understand in general. Why do you guys like to stare out the window so often? It’s usually just going up to a window or looking out the front door, and you fall into a trance. What’s up with that?”
This is sort of like how men turn their brains off.
There’s nothing more sacred than a man’s wallet.
“Why they won’t buy a new wallet even though the one they’re currently using is literally hanging by a single thread.”
It’s okay to replace your wallet when it’s starting to fall apart, I promise.
Men like feeling good about themselves, too.
“I don’t find this confusing, more sad. A lot of men aren’t told how handsome, sexy, good looking they are.”
You know what? That is sad. Tell a man in your life that he’s good looking!
Sometimes you just know, you know?
“How they intuitively know tools/objects/places based on absurd descriptions.
“Example given: Watching a movie with a friend and he goes: ‘Yeah, this show isn’t working for me. Last scene it was obvious they weren’t in France. That tall building shown for half a second last scene is in Serbia.'”
Doors are meant to be opened, and then closed again.
“Every male partner I’ve lived with has left the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen open. Like, if you think you might have to access that area again, you CAN reopen the cabinet. It’s not just a one time open.”
Relationships can be hard.
“That some will show immense interest in you, but as soon as you give them the same energy in return, they back off. I don’t like that and usually I’ll back up and move on. It’s confusing and very frustrating.”
Another user responded by saying, “We are scared that your hints aren’t hints and if we ask you out then we are scared of looking like asses or losing the relationship.” Communication, man.
Please learn to cook.
“Not a woman but I don’t understand other guys that think not being able to cook (I.e., the woman only cooking) is a sign of manliness. Like bro, you’re going to live off of fast food or starve if your spouse leaves.”
No matter what your gender is, you should know how to cook. Please.
Sleeping? Right away? What kind of witchcraft is that?
“The thing where they can fall asleep in three seconds, anytime, anywhere.”
I would love to know the secret to falling asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow.
Sports in general are very confusing.
“The obsession some men have with sports. Personally I don’t get it, it’s just a bunch of guys throwing a ball around for two hours. I’m not bashing anyone who likes sports, I just don’t get it.”
Sometimes, complaining can be a good thing.
“They barely complain, even on very important things they need to complain about.”
I feel like complaining gets a bad rep. Sometimes, you can change a lot just by complaining a little. How else are people supposed to know there’s a problem?
Why are man colds a thing?
“When guys have a minor sickness like a cold or the flu and it’s the end of the world but they break a limb and it’s no big deal.”
I guess some men don’t want to worry others when something’s actually serious?
Am I a man?
“Women have told me they don’t understand why I randomly walk to the fridge, open it, and take a look around lol. Sometimes when I’m hungry, sometimes when I’m not.
“I don’t know why, it’s just a habit. But I usually hear things like ‘Are you hungry?’ Or ‘The same food is in there as last time you looked.'”
I don’t know if this is a man thing (because I do it) but it is kind of confusing.
