Someone Asks “Boys, What Is Something You Didn’t Know About Girls Until You Got With One?” And 30 Folks Online Deliver
Wise people sometimes call relationships or family life a book that two people gradually, page by page, read, gaining new knowledge about the partner, and about themselves as well. But sometimes, when opening a new book, we are surprised to find that it is written in a language we do not know, and the letters are pretty often also incomprehensible...
Yes, that's right - many men admit that before they began to share the same roof with a woman, they had little idea of women's health, psychology and lifestyle. And something that women take for granted became a real revelation for the heroes of this viral thread.

Doctors just ***do not*** listen to women about their own bodies. My gf (and ex) have both had me go into doctor appointments with them so I could verify what they're saying about their own bodies. It is mind blowing to experience.
Unfortunately...very very true. My husband is coming to my next consultant appt end of the month. I'm an educated, clear speaking woman with 3 Chronic illnesses...yet I'm being dicked around with substandard meds. Hopefully the presence of an obviously superior being (i.e male ) will help me (pphhffftttt)
How young girls are when they start being sexually harassed
10, but I saw it happen to my mom at 6
Load More Replies...I was 11. It was a boy in my class. I told my (male) teacher about the harassment and he was all, “Oh, that means he likes you!” Like it was a good thing!!
I was 8 years old when a middle aged man (a complete stranger) just walked up to me and stuck his hand between my legs. On a busy sidewalk in broad daylight. I mostly remember how he looked at me with pure hatred. It made me wonder what I'd done wrong.
these stories are equally horrifying and so, so sad. I am so sorry. That is absolutely horrendous and I want to beat that disgusting man's sorry a**e. I hope you're recovering, no matter how many years I'm sure that's a terrible memory to have. I'm sending the best big-sis virtual hug I possibly can. 🥺
Load More Replies...I guess I'm lucky to be female and 15 without getting assaulted or harassed. I feel sorry for everyone on here.
I was 5. My mum's friend's son was babysitting as a favour and tried to convince me I needed to hold his little 'un while he peed as he'd hurt his hand or some such. Despite being so young I remember it quite clearly. Quite proud that I stood in the bathroom arguing the merits of the request and absolutely refused to cooperate.
The first time I was sexually harassed I was 10/11 is was in fifth grade its crazy how people do that and the guy WAS THE SAME AGE AS ME like the f*ck and that is why i hate people... edit: he groped me on my chest...
I was assaulted at 8 by a woman but I wasn't harassed until I was about 16 when men and women began to either follow me as they eyed me and I had to find places to hide or drunkenly ask me for physical contact and touching me, or commenting on my appearance. Ironically it's been more than half women.
My daughter was 11 (she is Asian) and a 50ish man elevator-eyed her.... did the "love you long time" bit.... I give no fcks so I yelled "she's 11 you sick perverted f*k" I wish I could say that was the last or only time... now at 18 she can say it herself!!!
As a guy, apologies on behalf of my gender equivalents and to all the fellas out there (myself included): Time to do better, quit shaming ourselves with this kind of behaviour...!!!
Im one of the 2% or so of women who have very fortunately not been sexually harassed, but being a student in a predominantly male school has me in constant fear. Guys, if you see a woman in an uncomfortable situation, HELP. Please. Show us that there's still some good in this world.
And the fact that it’s not “if” bit “when.” I haven’t met a woman yet who’s never been sexually harassed, assaulted or commented on at some time in some way.
The first time about 8 and the next about 12. Both by grown men in their 40s. Once again when I was 16 by a female boss, and various times in my adult life. It never really stops, especially when framed as "What, you can't take a compliment?" or "I'm just kidding."
Verbally? I don't remember- elementary school I think. Physically? I was 12 and pretty damn naive, he was 15 and when I tried to tell my mom she said it wasn't that bad and I could cause problems, for him, if I reported it.
Our bodies are desirable objects for men to gain access to. We're taught this very early.
I'm honestly really happy. Only kinda dealt with it jokingly by s****y class mates not adults
The young girls are absolutely not the ones responsible for the pedophiles and pervs who prey upon them
Load More Replies...Any man that thinks that we're the physically stronger sex has clearly never tried to pull the bed sheets away from his wife in the middle of the night...
When they tell you their problems, they don't want you to solve them. They just want you to listen and sympathize with their plight. Even if you have a quick and easy solution, keep it to yourself and pretend that they issue is just as bad as they think it is.
Edit: Well, this caught fire, thank you for the awards. Also for the people complaining, I don't make the rule, don't blame me.
i mean, it really depends on the person and the situation. i like the "sympathy or solutions?" question to determine what they need in that moment
That endometriosis is a lot worse than whatever they describe in textbooks.
Yeah. It feels like my insides are being scraped out with a rusty spoon constantly for about a week.
"I am thinking about nothing" is an alien concept for them.
The clitoris is right there peeking out at you from under it's little hood. It not tucked up under her spleen or hidden behind an ovary!
How expensive bras are. Growing up I assumed they were like underwear: $7.99 for a four-pack at Target.
I didn't know that birth control had so many (often prevalent) side effects.
Well, it is altering hormone balances which affect nearly every one of our physical aspects, so it shouldn't really surprise us. Those side effect warnings should be taken seriously when you're considering whether you should use them.
They’re just as disgusting as men, they’re just prettier and more sly about it.
How bad period cramps can get.
Watching someone who I *knew* to be a strong person mentally, get reduced to basically just crying on the couch for *days*, that was eye opening.
EDIT: hey this comment is getting a lot of traction so it's worth mentioning as a sorta PSA, I've been with two women who had cramps that bad, and both of them it basically got resolved when they got an IUD. Not completely fixed but like 10% as bad as it was. Worth checking out, if you deal with that kind of s**t too.
And yet we have to go to work and function in society as nothing was wrong
That towel wrapped on their head actually contains hair. Don't yank it.
Um… how was this discovered? Edit: yay I can comment again.
Their hands are awfully cold, they’ll suck the heat right out of you when you’re cuddling, and they shower with water at the temperature of molten steel.
Oh…and the amount of hair everywhere is ridiculous
They share way more details with their friends than we do
I thought that for menstrual pads, the sticky sides were to stick to the body to stay attached, rather than on the underwear.
Also just how bad the unprompted sexts are. I mean, I'm a gay dude where that's not uncommon but that's usually like unsolicited d**k pics on Grindr or something. My girl friends will randomly get super aggressive texts from like, the realtor who showed them open rental properties last year or a guy in her lab class she's literally never spoken to - and like frequently.
That a 5' tall, 100lb woman is capable of taking up an entire king sized bed.
that's why you get two duvets. They roll clockwise, we roll anticlockwise, result is they win the duvet and you freeze.
Discharge. Its normal. Its natural. But in the beginning i thought she had a problem with bladder control.
I was pretty surprised by the fact that most girls sleep hanging upside down from the rafters and can't be fed after midnight.
That hair washing is something that needs planning for and has consequences if missed or overdone.
Also certain kinds of underwear suit certain types of clothes.
(To be clear on the underwear I meant some sets of knickers are for particular outfits I.e my ex had thongs purely for nice dresses so it wouldn't show)
Edit: blimey this got busier than I thought! To be clear lads, I never doubted guys with long hair had to wash it too. I have just always had short hair and never knew it could be such a complex process for anybody.
the hair thing is definitely true if you have dreadlocks like i do. I live in Finland so in the winter have to plan it so that i don't need to go out for 2 days while my hair dries.
They use an absurd amount of toilet paper. Not hating, but I wasn't prepared for that.
Edit: For those of you plugging bidets, please link your recommendations with your comments.
My boyfriend once asked me; " I have a female friend coming over, but I just discovered there's only one roll of toilet paper left, is that enough?" Hard no my love ;)
I’ve never loaded a dishwasher correctly a single day in my life
Heat vampires. They suck the heat out of you in bed.
Until menopause… then you alternate between being cold and needing to live in a wearable iceberg.
Those mini hairclip things that look like paper clips - they are not just a fashion accessory but a territorial marker. See how many you find around the house after your girl stays for a night or 2😂
U know I keep seeing this but I don't know anyone that uses them other than my mom. I mean like I get rae occasions like prom or cosplay but like do people still use these regularly
That vaginas have a smell. Not in a bad way. And in hindsight makes sense, it's a body part with internal fluids. Just didn't think about it until I got with a girl
Does this person believe that penises and scrotes don't have scents??
Eyelash curlers exist
I’d grown up with sisters but never saw them use one, but my gf at the time pulled one out as we were looking to go out, I was perplexed and horrified
An earring or necklace always gets left behind. Right now I have a single earring on my bedroom nightstand, a woman’s scarf on the table by the front door, and a necklace on a piece of furniture in the living room. And I don’t even have a girlfriend.
Not me but I saw a post once where a guy was super confused about the rocks in his gfs shower, and had come to ask what they are and where he could find them to put in his shower so she would feel comfortable (in a put a stick and leaf in a jar for a frog vibe). He thought you’d just find them outside.
She had pumice stones.
Edit: for those wondering, pumice stones are the bubbly looking rocks that you can use to exfoliate the bottoms of your feet with. They are made when lava hardens super quick. Also they are so filled with holes that they can float in water.
Edit edit: two people have pointed out there was a similar thing from the onion, and I feel it is my duty to say I may have r/atetheonion here. Either completely, or I am mixing it up with a real thing I saw. Either way, wanted to tell on myself.
That’s so cute that he was looking for some for her! Very thoughtful, too.
How soft their skin feels.
We call it "moisturizer". The skin is the largest single immune system organ we have. Be kind to it.
Testing testing, seeing if I can comment down here because it isn't working anywhere else right now.
Glad it's not just me! My comments were so witty too...
Load More Replies...1. Didn't we see this a couple months ago and 2. wth with the comments? BTW, you want hair? Meet my hubby. Plumber once came in to clear the clog in *his* shower drain (yes, we're fancy folks, he has his own shower) and insisted it'd be my hair that clogged it. No. Hubby's hair and mine are very different in color and length. Hands down, Hubby done clogged that drain, not me. :-) Just busting that trope a bit.
Yay! I can comment again! I legitimately thought I had been banned and couldn't figure out what I did. Next, there's some jerk here down voting everyone. I helped where I could.
Ugh. Those downvote trolls are so dull. Imagine getting your jollies from taking away imaginary internet points from strangers. It must be sad to be that socially pathetic.
Load More Replies...Then why read it? Go somewhere ells if the only reason you are here is to be negative.
