Women Are Comparing Their Side Of The Bed Vs. Their Boyfriends’, And People Find The Similarities Between Men Hilarious Interview With Author
If there’s a sacred little place we fully dedicate to ourselves in the house, it must be our side of the bed. The contents of it speak more than thousands of words, and I wouldn’t be surprised if an AI algorithm would create spot-on human profiles based on how one’s bedside looks. After all, it’s where the good, the bad, and the ugly bits from our daily lives come to rest.
And one Twitter user, @hannystyles69, took it a step further by taking a picture of not one, but two bedsides. One, it’s her orderly and aesthetically pleasing little corner accompanied by a hemp hand creme and a nice read for evenings, and the other is her boyfriend’s bedside.
People on Twitter needed no further explanation, since the side-by-side comparison was profoundly telling. The post went viral with 647.3K likes and 40.5K retweets and the new post trend was born. “My side of the bed vs my bf’s side of the bed” not only reflects the stark difference between men and women, but it also personifies the ensued hilarity we share in this world.
From makeshift toothbrush chargers to Himalayan salt lamps, no one dares to criticize your holy bedtime setup. Except, of course, your other half.

Bored Panda reached out to the Twitter user @hannystyles69 who is behind the viral “My side of the bed vs my bf’s side of the bed” thread. Hannystyles69 shared a side-by-side comparison of her bedside and her boyfriend’s two days ago and received 40.6k retweets and 10.4k quote tweets.
More women shared pictures of very similar-looking bedside setups

The thread’s author told us that the idea for the thread came as she was setting up her things on her nightstand after she had just moved in. “I walked over and realized what my boyfriend’s side of the bed looked like,” hannystyles69 said. “I think it’s funny how I like to have so many unnecessary items to make me feel happy and he just needed those three simple things,” she added.

Turns out, hannystyles69 had no idea the thread was going to go this viral, “but after I took the pictures, I showed my boyfriend and we both laughed about it for a long time so I decided to tweet it.”
When asked whether you can tell how a person is based on their bedside table, the thread’s author assured us that she absolutely doesn’t think so. “My boyfriend and I have very similar personalities, just with very different items we sleep next to.”
And everyone is finding the photos totally hilarious

Guarantee the majority of women that took these pics would have tidied their side of the bed before taking the photos 😂
I keep every thing of mine tidy but I know a lot of women would do what you said!
I guarantee you are right!!!
Well done, Sherlock!! Lol!
More than likely that's what happened.
As soon as we get up, actually
Your username says it all haha. But cats are awesome so not holding that against you 💜 Keep being beautiful ☺️
Where do you all live?? Why do you need baseball bats????
My thoughts exactly. Strange and sad living in a World where it feels mandatory to keep a bat beside your bed....
Since when was self defense a US thing? I have a bat beside the bed and I'm in Australia.
I read a meme today that went like „You are alone in a room with three men and do not feel threatened. Who are the men?“ and I was like „Um... every man I know actually?“ How can this not be normal?
My thoughts exactly every time I see or read anything about the violence in the US. A couple of days age there was an article about a woman who escaped someone who followed her and I commented and asked about the constant fear they lived in. I was downvoted and the would not believe that life is not like that everywhere.
Agreed.
Not at all we live in a great neighborhood but he has a loaded berretta and a bat, I have a loaded Taurus and a machete. Why? because He is ex LE and I am current LE and people are f*****g bat s**t crazy, that's why. It doesn't matter if you live in a mansion or the ghetto anymore. Join Nextdoor you'll see. I bet if you did some digging in your neighborhood you'd have something on your nightstand too. Just google sex offenders in your area. Go ahead I'll wait.
we live in a world in which you never know where a baseball might enter your room and has a really intense pitch which you can only hit in a certain feeling of drowsiness, that's why you should always have a baseball bat next to you bed. currently i am trying to find a bat that fits my room aesthetic, maybe a plain wood one or a black metal one which glows in the dark at night. there is no in between.
glow in the dark, definitely. Shape the aesthetic of your room around it, and you may draw that baseball into its final pitch
Exactly my thoughts! Am I to european to understand that?
Sweden and Belgium have higher rates of rape than does the USA.
After waking up with an intuder in the house my mom sleeps with a hammer next to the bed. When one of us moved out we got a hammer as a housewarming gift from mom... Netherlands
Haha, I'm Dutch and keep a baseball bat next to my bed. Friends and family have mocked me soooo many times. Just wait until the zombies take over, then we'll see who's laughing.
@Felix Feline: They have higher rates of REPORTED rapes. If you dabble statistics you know that this one word can mean a huge difference. And for example in Sweden every forced sexual act is counted as rape, not only penetration like in the US.
@Felix Feline -- higher rates of *reported* rape. Most of the time it's someone you know. It's your husband, your boyfriend, your father, your boss, your date for the evening. Hardly ever is it someone who breaks into your home in the middle of the night.
Llewela - awww! The Family Hammer, that's so sweet! Really!
I'm European, I don't have a baseball bat by the bed, but something to scare away anyone trying to break in, absolutely.
Had a burglar in our apartment/bedroom years ago. To his luck, my bat is at the apartment door - so I had the beat the crap out of the idiot by hand... but, yeah, there is use for it. Oh, german here. (Can't answer you here, sturmwesen. BP doesn't allow answers on answers on... but I'm from Lübeck. We're quite high up the list for a city so small)
Where do you live-some think where I live (Fürth) is a bad neighbourhood (especially the people one town over) and I never felt the need.
I have slept my door unlocked several nights lately (new home). I don't own baseball bat or gun and all my knives are in the kitchen downstairs. I just wish everyone could be as safe at home.
Where I live in rural NJ is the same way. I can't imagine living somewhere and having to fear.
I have a broomstick in my closet for protection and my sister has a two by four. We live alone though.
seriously. I am not going to get up during the night to play ball with an intruder. I will shoot.
As someone who's husband had a couple mini baseball bats on his side of the bed, I was gonna ask what the deal was. But now they're both my sides of the bed. 🤣
Well actually I thought they played baseball.. Got home, quick run to the bedroom and undress, throw your bat next to your bed and hop in the shower. Or when it is your lucky bat you keep it close?
In a nation of fear, which is very undeveloped.
Was going to say the same thing. WTF? At least I didn't see any guns.
Take a look again.
Stay strapped or get clapped
we all have one thing in common, we live in america

All males have a baseball bat, knife, or some sort of defense next to their bed in case there's a home invader.
Not ALL males. I personally don't know anyone that keeps any type of weapon or some form of defence by their bed
I got a pair of guns for defense. gunshow-60...99ed40.png
Why do none of these people have matching side tables on either side of the bed? That would drive me nuts
And also, no bedside lamps. I suppose some could be mounted on the walls, but ... I think I only saw one that had any kind of light source.
Some of these may not even be in the same house. They don't necessarily live together, yet they are showing each other's bed sides.
Good point.
Why do none of these people have matching baseball bats on either side smh
I am sorry that someone downvoted you - I upvoted you again. I so agree!!! I literally would be driven insane by mismatch bedsides! I like every thing in a room to match and that is such an obvious flaw.
Even if they don't match there should be two side tables if there are two people sleeping in that bed.
That's what I was wondering. You usually buy both togethee.
Many bed sets in the USA are sold with bed, dresser and 1 bedside table. Anything else is extra.
Even queen and king size beds?
I was going to ask that!!! Why indeed? I guess maybe because they aren't married couples? I really don't know, and I think it's odd too
My hubby and I don't have matching bedsides because that is what we were offered by family when we moved out of home. Most of our furniture is second hand and doesn't match.
They don't have to be matching though. They just have to be there. On each side. I don't care if it's a milk crate on one side. Why is it all over the floor? And I'm not even a remotely tidy person.
