Men Online Reveal 30 Things They Learned About Women Once They Started Dating One
Since we were little, we have always heard about what as a man or a woman we are supposed to do or how to act. And even now, years later, when we’re trying to break various stereotypes, there are things that we don’t know about another gender. Despite tons of different sources that might help us understand men and women better, Reddit user @u/0Timato0 asked men of Reddit “what was something you didn't know about women till you got with one?” The question that received 37.2k upvotes received thousands of answers that some people found useful and for others, it put a smile on their faces.
A lot of men online were shocked by how fast everything becomes covered in hair after starting dating a woman, revealing some of the places they find most of it. A Reddit user even suggested that people should check their office chair wheels as they might be covered in hair. Have you checked yours already? Some other interesting things that men were quick to notice included women’s ability “to withstand unbelievable temperatures” or that the buttons on their shirts as well as zippers on other clothing are on the other side.
Which one of these discoveries was the most interesting? Perhaps you have one too? Then don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments down below!

That most women's clothing doesn't have pockets, and they're very bitter about it

That it really /is/ the thought that counts. At least, with the right woman. A random candy bar when she was having a bad day often meant way more than a very nice meal/evening out.
#3
That periods will hurt. I always thought it’s just the blood leakage and the discomfort & awkwardness associated with it but never knew that women get pain from it until i had my first relationship at 21. Really sad that they had to endure this every month. It’s kinda unfair that they had to go through this apart from 1000 other problems they face everyday.
Women’s anatomy is an endless mystery.

I have a box in my closet titled "Monthly Stuff" each month I replenish it with candy bars, tea bags, hot pockets, painkillers, and tissues for my roommate's time of the month.

Their extremities are made of ice. They siphon heat and life during their slumber. They embrace you with their frozen limbs and steal your heat. They feed on us
#5
No matter how many bras they own, there is ONLY ONE that is perfect and god forbid you somehow lose/ruin that ONE bra, she'll make John Wick look like a choir angel!
#6
Tampons are super absorbant. She came home one day and the sink was full of saturated tampons because i was just amazed by how much water one can hold. I was chastised and sent immediately out to buy more. Totally worth it.

Soldiers/medics in the field have used them as a way to stop bleeding until a Dr can see the injured soldier. They are particularly useful for those who have been shot. They stop the bleeding, or absorb the blood, when either inserted into a wound or laid on a wound and taped in place.
#7
That when they complain it doesn't always mean they want you to fix it, or that they've come to a negative conclusion. It's just thinking out loud, in a way that most guys don't.
#8
All my life if someone complained about a problem, my response was to think of and offer solutions. That‘s how you help and show you care. If I have a problem, I welcome ideas on how to fix it. Women don’t necessarily work the same way. There are times she just wants you to listen and not try to fix it. Replace “maybe don’t hang out with Karen,” with “Man, Karen sure can be a b***h sometimes.“

That giving them food makes their mood extremely better. I sincerely always thought it was a meme

A hangry woman is a dangerous woman. Keep them fed and ALWAYS have an emergency chocolate bar ready to smooth any choppy seas.
CelticElff 2 years ago
Brownie points (pun intended) for getting GOOD chocolate.

I think this is true for pretty much all us humans, not just Women. Or did you mean "chocolate makes their mood extremely better"?

Nope! The way to a man's heart is through his stomach? What is that nonsense?! I've told people that if you want me to be in a better mood quickly, get me french fries.

F**k, Just offer to help her around the house. Just try to not be a pompous a*s. Give her a cuddle. Tell her you love her, Just do NOT shove food at her, or try to tell her what she SHOULD have done. We CAN feed ourselves when we need to.

When my husband and I get into an argument, my appetite disappears completely and immediately. One time we were in a restaurant, just ordered our meal and I couldn't wait to eat, then 5 minutes later... boom... argument. Take away bag please. Even if it was something I have been craving for weeks. Very strange.

I get hangry while my husband doesn't. We always said maybe we don't have as many arguments because only one of us gets verbally hangry.

I thought maxi pads stuck to the skin I didn't realize they stick to your underwear. I thought you slapped it on like a p**sy sticker.
#11
I realized how much a good woman can help bring the best out of you and help you believe in yourself. Blows my mind how much so many dudes just go for the hottest girl possible to make their trophy wife. A great woman is truly unmatched for so many reasons (not to say a great woman can’t be super hot, so don’t attack me for that)
#12
Foreplay begins way before being in bed, maybe even with the first impression.
#13
They have to pee after sex to help avoid a UTI
#14
That breast milk comes out of multiple ducts on the nipple not just one.
The first time my wife showed us with our first child and little streams went all different directions…it was so weird and surprising
UPDATE: awesome my most upvoted post is this. Lol. And yes it’s kind of like a shower head but also one of those kids crazy sprinklers as it can go in any direction
And yes for all the people asking “us?” I meant me and my wife. I remember the moment when she said come look at this - I think she had just figured it out too - she expressed some manually and it shot out in about ten different tiny streams in ten very different directions. We laughed so hard

Just asking but if the boobs are full of milk then can you shoot it out a bit like a garden hose but with less pressure?

When they ask if you want to go to the grocery store, they really want you to go with.
Laura Ketteridge 2 years ago
Nah, some of us mean what we say, and say what we mean. If I say 'Do you want to do X?" It means I'm looking for information as to whether you would like to do the thing. If I want you to go to the grocery store I'll say. "Please can you go to the grocery store."
#16
Periods can be really debilitating for some and a complete nothing-burger for others.
The Radio Demon 2 years ago
Or, one minute, you're fine. The next it's like Lucifer himself is taking revenge, according to my friend.
#17
That she will buy clothes for me and somehow finds it fun to do so. I haven’t been in a clothing store in years and this is awesome to me.
Edit: Thanks everyone! I had no idea this would be such a post. This has given me a great opportunity to remind my wife how awesome she is and how much I appreciate her.
#18
How impervious to hot water they are! My wife’s shower seems permanently set at scalding.
Washing the dishes - scalding!
Bath water- scalding
No sexy time in the shower here, I value not melting my skin!
#19
Long hair wraps around the the vacuum roller brush. Have to cut the hair out of it seasonally.
Lyone Fein 2 years ago
Seasonally? Try doing it after each vacuuming session. Then your machine will have a much longer life.
#20
I thought the hoodies were mine
#22
I never knew what soft sheets felt like until I spent the night with a girl for the first time. Who knew what thread count was? Women. Women know. Most men do not.
I was 17 and remember laying in her bed and was like “why the f**k is bed as soft as a cloud?!” She laughed and just thought I was being funny. When she laid in my bed she understood. My sheets felt like cardboard by comparison. That’s when she taught me about thread count for sheets. Such an eye opener.

Birth control has some truely horrendous side effects, and it's sad that modern medical science hasn't come up with safer birth control options.
karen snyder 2 years ago
Please tell me that's sarcasm, my dude...JIC you're not joking, There are safe alternatives to a woman taking hormonal birth control, the most popular one is called a condom. Bonus: they also prevent the spread of STIs.

If you dig your fingers into their scalp they melt like butter in the desert
#27
Loads I didn't know until I got married, then even more I learned 25 years after that when I had a daughter.
One of my first realizations just how expensive it was being a female just factoring bath, beauty, & sanitary products. And my lady doesn't go for the super expensive luxurious brands either.
CelticElff 2 years ago
That's because of the stupid "pink tax". Not enough women in gov't to make the changes we need- not yet anyway!
#28
They love to announce when they need to pee
Edit: mandatory “I didn’t think this was gunna blow up” post, thanks for 2k and I’m happy to see it’s a universal thing and not anecdotal
#29
How soft they are. I know I know. But when i was younger it didnt hit me till my first time just how much softer they were than me. Also cold. Women I've known all seem to get cold very easy. Its great. They're like the ultimate cool side of the pillow. And my big warm a*s is appreciated for frozen fingers and feets. Everybody wins.

When my wife realizes that she is about to get her period, her mood instantly improves. But no matter my suspicions, she needs to figure this out for herself.

I love how a lot of these are worded respectfully. For some odd reason I'm suprised by this. Nice change for once
Sonja 2 years ago (edited)
I wasn't surprised. The question could only be answered by men who actually lived with women and paid attention. Those are usually the decent men. The others won't have much to say because they don't care enough to notice

If I may add to the list: I think women have some kind of super-vision that allows them to see dirt and grime men can't. I'll vacuum the house, and my mother and sisters will point out spots I missed--but there's nothing there!
