The differences between men and women – the ultimate inexhaustible topic. The one dead horse that we’ll probably keep beating for centuries to come. It seems that everything possible is already said. There are thousands of books and advice columns written about it, movies, TV shows, podcasts – you name it. Yet we’re still here – talking, reading, and writing about it.

This particular thread has gotten quite a lot of attention. When one netizen asked, “Women, what do you find the most confusing about men?“, almost 30k people flocked to the comments to share their thoughts. From what men really think when they fall silent to why pooping takes so long for them – the women of Reddit had many unanswered questions.

30 Things Women Don’t Understand About Men I'm a man. But something that confused my wife is when I suddenly take a deep breath for no reason. She's like "are you ok? You sure? Anything you need to talk about? What's going on?" And I just say "nah I'm fine, think I just forgot to breathe and catching up".

30 Things Women Don’t Understand About Men My wife's biggest gripe is that I will spend time hiking / drinking / driving / whatever with friends I haven't seen in months, and when I get home I will have absolutely nothing to report back despite having talked solidly with them for six hours.

My wife on the other hand will casually pass a friend in the street and within ten minutes knows what theyve done every day since they last spoke, the health and financial status of them and all other friends and relatives, and a forward facing calendar for the next three months.

Are men and women really that different? Are we bound to not understand each other for the rest of time? It's true that many Americans think that way. The Pew Research Center did a survey in 2017 where they asked men and women whether they see gender differences. The majority claimed they do, but their opinions on whether it's biological or societal differ.

Women believe the differences between men and women appear because of societal expectations. Men, on the other hand, say that these differences are biological.

The researchers asked the respondents about such things as physical abilities, how each gender expresses their feelings, and hobbies and personal interests. Interestingly, both men and women agreed that both genders are basically the same when it comes to work-related skills.

30 Things Women Don’t Understand About Men I don’t find this confusing, more sad. A lot of men aren’t told how handsome, sexy, good looking they are. I tell my husband how much he turns me on daily, and I feel like women get that all the time but men, not so much.

Edit: Dang this blew up. I just want to say all you guys deserve to be told how sexy you are and you should definitely let it be known! I don’t think a lot of partners out there realize how much you’d appreciate it.

"nothing" just means we are well into a train of thoughts, and we don't really want to share because it would take way too much time and explanations, so we would very much prefer going on with our musings undisturbed.

Is there a way to find out which is really true? Are the differences between men and women biological or is it actually nurture, not nature? It's a difficult topic to approach as an academic. Bias can even exist in research. There is no consensus on the issue even at this time. Some researchers believe that people are born being more masculine or feminine. English clinical psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen is in that camp with his E-S theory. 

ADVERTISEMENT

Others, like philosopher Judith Butler, assert that gender is performative. According to her, we establish gender identity through behavior, so different behaviors can construct different genders. Not-so-academic and more easily digestible proponents like British science journalist Angela Saini invoke science. 

She's the author of Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong – And the New Research that’s Rewriting the Story, and says that we shouldn't have equality because science says it's possible. "There's no reason why we can't have equality if we want it," she told Slate. "Science doesn't say that equality is impossible. We are adaptable and plastic as a human species. We can have society any way we want."

This drives me nuts! I swear, I even started to put things out on the counter for him when I know he will need them later and he still just doesn't see them. He's also not able to find things behind other things, even when they are in the same spot as always. It's like this barrier he just can't overcome. Also, it's just so much more convenient to ask me after the first half-assed attempt to find something instead of searching for just 1 more minute.

Yes! I have a friend says this. He has a big workshop where he repairs and renovates cars as a hobby. The workshop is a TOTAL mess, but he magically knows where everything is remembering where he left it. If you move it out of place and even put it stupidly visible, he won't find it.

Because its not where it was when I last saw it. Get something in the fridge and notice the mayonnaise is on the second shelf. Make a sandwich a few days later and its not there, so we keep searching the second shelf when its been moved to the side shelf.

I constantly lose stuff. Stuff that will be right in front of me. But because I am used to it always being in that spot, I can’t see it. Easier to rectify in the dark, believe it or not. Then I can use my flashlight app and only see a small area at a time and suddenly I can find it. I’m also a bit mindless when I set things down and until I can actually get into a routine of placing an item in it’s assigned home, I’ll lose it every time I set it down. This means some items I completely lose because it’s been too long since I last used it. Other items, I find myself desperately trying to find about three times an hour. I drive myself crazy like this. And I cannot begin to tell you how often I find that I was sitting on the lost item. My vape always finds its way there. Cannot figure that one out to save my life.

And that starts young! I have taught Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten for decades now. I will never forget when one little boy was looking for his backpack so he could go home (I had half day K, he was a morning kid.) Mom was refusing to help because a) she wanted HIM to do it, and b) her very active two-year-old son was on the playground and she needed eyes on him! I got my afternoon kids settled on an activity, went over to where little guy was throwing up his arms and saying "But I don't see it!" I told him he needed to move other backpacks out of the way, not just stand there, and moved one to show him how to do it. He goes "There it is!" Yeah, you're a boy.

30 Things Women Don’t Understand About Men I find it confusing how men are so forgiving. It’s one of the things I adore the most about men and find the most baffling. I’m learning now that men will get over things like 40 minutes after they happen and genuinely get frustrated and sad when their girls hold grudges. I’ve found that the people I’ve had falling outs with and was able to rekindle my friendships with were mostly all men.

I also find it weird how men will fight each other and then be best friends the next day.

30 Things Women Don’t Understand About Men Why they take such a long time to poop.

Do you go in there when you actually need to go or just because you think you might need to go so you just sit for a while to see what happens?

As a woman both kinds of trips to the toilet take the same amount of time for me. But every man I know makes pooping a 30 minute event.

30 Things Women Don’t Understand About Men I'm a man, but let me offer something I find confusing about other men, which I'm sure women do too.

Why do you get so defensive when a woman points out some trait of men they've been around that they don't like? Why do you feel personally attacked? If you don't like the accusations that some men are pervs and rapists, what does it matter if you're not a perv or a rapist? The term "not all men" gets thrown around a lot but a) no one said it was and b) it being "some men" is enough that women have to be careful.

All you need to do is not be that guy, and call out s****y behaviour when you can. That's it.

30 Things Women Don’t Understand About Men 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?

Oh I know this one. It's because we lack the ability to look in the right place. In our male brains, it's logical to keep the ketchup in the broom closet so that's where we look.

30 Things Women Don’t Understand About Men Once upon a time my girlfriend sent me into a gas station to get her a “can of Mountain Dew”. So I go in and search all over the place but they don’t have single cans of Mountain Dew, only bottles. But then I see it... a 12 pack of canned Mountain Dew. Now in my guy brain she said “can” so I was not coming out of that store with a bottle. When I go back to the car with the 12 pack she asked why I got 12 cans of Mountain Dew. I explained my logic and she started laughing uncontrollably. She brings this up all the time with other women when explaining how “guys think differently”.

Some guys learn that being pushy works. I remember from my sales training as a door to door salesman (I managed about 3 weeks lol) - 3 nos, you need to get told no 3 times before you move on. All the established guys in my team were either married or going out with gorgeous women and a couple had side pieces too despite being average at best. Sadly being pushy in this life works.

Difficult one if you don't want to expose yourself to potential hurt. I I would recommend against vague flirting and signals. Sometimes better to come out and say it. Men can be notoriously bad at interpreting flirting.

I'm 36, married, and never sent a d**k pic in my entire life. I'd only do it if my wife asked me to send her one, even then I'd question it. If she wants to see it she can just take my pants off...

Edit: Have asked my wife if she's ever sent one to anyone and the answer was no, because she didn't want it used against her one day if anything bad ever happened.

Why they won't buy a new wallet even tho the one they're currently using is literally hanging by a single thread.

The refusal of basic hygiene some men display.

Like I had a friend who absolutely refused to wipe of those last drops of pee after using the toilet.
For no reason.
He just said it's unnecessary, even tho you always could see a nice wet spot in his pants.

30 Things Women Don’t Understand About Men Friendship between men!

It’s like you guys find a group of friends in your teens or college years and be like that’s it, enough socializing for the rest of our life and actually manage to maintain those friendships. How do you do this? I admit I’m a bit jealous. ;)

But then again so often dudes admit to me they can’t open up with their male friends, hide their feelings and problems and keep conversations shallow which I think is kinda sad. Maybe that’s the secret why those friendships last. But it adds to the confusing part, because I question a friendships worth if it doesn’t provide a safe space between the individuals.

Disclaimer. I am aware both of those paragraphs don’t apply to all men. I’m talking to the ones it does apply to.

Edit; Thank you for sharing your experiences and opinions guys! You’re amazing and you gave me me a lot of insight. I’m still catching up with reading all comments since it’s quite a lot more than expected, but thank you very much for your efforts and for opening up.

My wife along with her friends is amazed their sposes and I can fall asleep within a minute or two of my head hitting the pillow. I blame working a labor intensive job but I know some men don't fall asleep no matter what. She is also amazed that I can't properly load a dish washer or put food away into the pantry.

Probably because they don't want the disappointment of finding out that you were just being nice and weren't really that interested in you. They've been burned in the past. Men aren't good at picking up on subtle signals from women.

I think that there are two possible reasons. One is a "collector" drive, always looking for what turns them on and collecting it. And the other is that there are certain things that will turn them on and at exact picture they are looking for is in the pay area.

I still don’t understand d**k pics. Do they really think we look at a picture of a d**k, in terrible lighting, sweaty, untrimmed pubes, with your 10 year old briefs and gym shorts pulled down.

And go… oh yeah this is it. I’m glad I didn’t ask for this. The surprise during a fun conversation is so much better.

Rules seem to make you happy. My boyfriend plays a lot of tabletop rpgs and Battletech and he’s said before that he’s not enjoying a game because I quote “there aren’t enough rules, it’s all a bit confusing”. Also follows for tasks ie. Can you microwave x for me? No that’s confusing. Microwave x for 1 minute 30 seconds exactly. He’s a happy happy man 😅

Edit:

To answer general queries:
He has not been diagnosed with autism, he does have the spicy panic aka anxiety. I think this maybe partly why he likes rules/specific instructions? Though he does get a lot of autism/adhd tiktoks and has related to them so maybe?

He’s a historian specifically, war history.

Our microwave is 900w.

The game recs are very welcome and lovely, he is aware of the thread and enjoying seeing what people are recommending for him.

How they are easy to repress all feelings and emotions except anger (usually). It must be hurtful for them as much as it is for everyone around them.

Edit: Just a few days after I made this comment I saw this [video by SALARI](https://youtu.be/bomWsgjLQjc). I recommend watching it, and I think it made me understand this matter.

Because anger is the only safe emotion for a boy to express. It creates space when he's feeling overwhelmed, without showing weakness in front of the bully looking for the weakest member of the herd. The trick is to learn to express other emotions when the childhood dynamic is no longer helpful.

30 Things Women Don’t Understand About Men How is it that I know so many older level headed men who have good values, passion for their work and opinions and they aren't afraid of expressing themselves, the way they speak about their wives and families makes me want to go back into dating, but when I look at men my age, suddenly most of them are dodgy, scared of commitment and scared of having and expressing their opinions.

I don't want to date men who are 50-60 but I'm so envious of their wives for finding such a good men to spend their lives with.

This is just the opposite in my house (I'm a man), and I'm the one that wants them all closed, but it doesn't seem to bother her in the least if they are left open. So, I don't think this one should be on the list, it is an individual thing that has nothing to do with gender.

Guys that say they don't want a clingy girl.


Proceed to date a less clingy girl and feel neglected.


EDIT: I have to clear up my comment.
I intend this as men finding women with this toxic trait of clingyness. But once they come across a partner who is more independent and wants a healthy communication boundary. They find it not enough and yearn for the toxic trait they had been use to before.
