Behind Closed Doors: Men Share the Unspoken Truths About Women’s Lives
While men and women share many similarities, there are also differences between the genders that can be surprising to learn. However, men may be surprised to discover some of the unique experiences and challenges that women face. For example, women may encounter gender-based discrimination, societal pressures, certain beauty standards, and a heavy burden of household and caregiving responsibilities.
Feelings
One Redditor shared, “That having strong feelings for her does not mean she is a great fit for me.”
Love
A user shared, “Despite what some people say, love is not always enough. It’s just one of the many requirements for compatibility.”
Supple Skin
One Redditor said, “How INSANELY SOFT their skin is!”
To which a second Redditor replied, “Yes! First thing I noticed when I held her hand!”
Cuddle Time
This user stated, “They love cuddling. Not only because they’re horny, but they want to suck all of the warmth out of your body to heat up their own artic-level temperature bodies.”
Hair
A Redditor shared, “The hair, it’s everywhere! In the drain, in the laundry, and sometimes in the food I make. It’s everywhere, but you don’t see it until it somehow catches your attention.”
Showing Up
A top-liked comment said, “If she wants to be there, she’ll figure out a way to be there. If she doesn’t, she’ll make up a good excuse to not be there.”
Bed Space
A user said, “How much of the bed they take up! Guess I’ll just sleep in this tiny corner over here.”
Calming
A Redditor commented, “At some point, they develop some sort of calming, gentle warmness. I didn’t see it until I was in a real adult relationship, but more than one partner just had an effect of almost untangling my brain just by their warm presence.”
Food
One Redditor shared, “They can EAT and use LOTS of toilet paper.
A second Redditor replied, “Haha we have no choice but to use TP EVERY time!”
Clothing
This user added, “The size of women’s jeans pockets is a joke. You can’t fit anything in there.”
World Views
A Redditor stated, “The biggest thing is some differences in how they see the world vs. the way I saw it. There are genuine concerns or fears in some everyday things that I take for granted and have never given a second thought about.”
Order Extra
One Redditor claimed, “If they say no to chips, fries, or any side… it’s a trap. You’re gonna lose some of yours, guaranteed!”
Menstrual Cycle
This user shared, “Just how much the menstrual cycle affects them. I wasn’t aware of what women go through during their menstrual cycle, and it was really eye-opening after being in a few of my mature relationships.”
Enjoyment
One Redditor said, “How fun they can make the small things in life. Ever gone out with your girlfriend to get Starbucks? It is such a fun experience. Just watching her making an effort to get ready for that small trip, hearing her talk about the most random things as you are walking, and then her ordering for you and her, customizing the drink in a way you didn’t even know you liked.”
Details
A top-liked comment said, “How they pick up on little things, like moods, small items/details, conversations, etc. How delightful they are when they are happy.”
Small Things
This Redditor commented, “They notice small things. I was in a deep conversation with my first girlfriend and she told me I am into long hair girls. I didn’t even notice that (it was subconscious). I never sat down and wrote out a list of all the criteria of what I’m into.”
Affection
This user said, “How lively and affectionate they become when you make yourself available to them.”
Not Always Fine
A user also added, “Don’t take “everything’s fine” for an answer, be nice – but peel the onion. They hide the stuff that turns their heart black sometimes because they’ve been raised to keep the peace. Help them through it, and the sky’s the limit.”
Self-Consciousness
One Redditor had this to say, “When you go out, how many people look/stare at her. The first time we walked in the park, out of the 100 people we passed, I’d say she got 85% of the looks. It surprised me and made me realize that if that happened to me, I’d be a lot more self-conscious, concerned about my safety, and half afraid to venture out alone.”
Toilet Humor
This Redditor added, “That they aren’t mythical creatures. You can treat them like normal humans. A lot of women are more crude and disgusting than men.”
Comfortable Living Space
Finally, a Redditor said, “Women have an apt for creating comfortable environments — they know how to turn a house into a home. The last woman I dated turned the place she rented into her own vibe within less than a week—paintings, busts, flowers, candles, music, etc.”When it comes to getting our first girlfriend or understanding women, Redditors were in for some surprises! From decoding their mysterious signals to discovering that they’re not mind readers, we quickly realized we had a lot to learn. But hey, that’s part of the fun, right? So here’s to the unexpected lessons and the hilarious moments that come with navigating the world of relationships with women.
