Men Who Got A Girlfriend For The First Time Share 45 Things They Found Out About Women

My husband has learned, after 18 years, that MOST of the time I just want to vent and plot their violent death - BUT, he still asks, "Do you want input or are you just outputting?"

I see this kind of post a lot on articles about women, do men not do this? If my husband talks about a rough day at work is he expecting me to provide solutions?

Amen to that!

I fell in love with my husband on the first date. Why? He agreed to check out the Barnes & Noble next door to the Starbucks where we met. I went instantly to the sale table, found 4-5 books I just simply COULD NOT live without - and he very nonchalantly took them and carried them around the store. For an hour. We discussed books we'd read, the ones we liked and the ones we didn't, etc. Every Book Nerd Girl's dream. Hey, It's been 18 years and you should see the collection now!

It's not the size that's important, it's the technique. Anyone can own tools, but that's not impressive unless you know how to use them.

Thank you!

Wellllllll.....

You will hear a woman admire another's outfit and the response? Thanks... and it has POCKETS! This is the female dream.

I ADORE the original poster for backing us regarding pockets!!!!!!

Absolutely must have decent sized pockets. It really hacks me off that outdoor jackets usually don't have enough pockets, an inside pocket and those that are there are way too small. Esme Young (fabulous judge on The Great British Sewing Bee) is a big fan of pockets.

My mom was so happy when she got a dress with pockets that she was showing them every 5 minutes. 🥰

I make sure any skirts or dresses I buy for my wife have pockets. We defeated parachute pants with useless zippers we must turn our attention to defeating fascism and Authoritarian fake pockets!

I don't wear make-up because I'm too lazy to bother with that stuff. Now, my sister who's very much into make-up sometimes insisted on dolling me up. It was fun and yes, I looked pretty. But I think I also look pretty without make-up. I completely respect her choice to spend one hour getting ready in the morning, but I personally prefer sleeping 50 minutes longer.

Finally a dude who gets it. Although, I don't wear makeup to impress any man or woman.

When my boyfriend told me he didn't care about makeup and looking "fake", I made sure he became my husband. Whatta guy! I'm so lucky!

And thats why they walk around looking like bargain basement clowns (I have maquillaphobia btw).

And don’t take any notice at all of the stupid things that women are made to say by stupid scriptwriters in dramas and sitcoms. If you’ve upset her she doesn’t want a ‘grand gesture’ - I promise! If the relationship is struggling she doesn’t want you to 'spice it up in the bedroom' with role playing - I promise you! Sit her down, say ‘I can tell that something’s not right. What’s going on?’ and let her tell you. You may feel attacked because this stuff is personal (don’t blame yourself for feeling that way), but try and repeat back what she’s said to make sure you’ve understood correctly and not put your spin on it. If you love her, apologise for what you did (it doesn’t matter who is right and who is wrong) and work together to sort things out. Often all someone needs is to be properly listened to without being corrected ‘don’t think that!’ ‘don’t get angry’ ‘there’s no need to get upset’ etc

Unfortunately I have PMDD which is like PMS X 100. Cramps and migraines are debilitating, and my hormones turn me into satan, which is scary for my hubby. Once my PCP helped diagnose me and prescribe me medicine for 5 days of the month, our relationship got better. My PMDD had gotten so bad in 2019 that I almost drove my hubs away with my psychosis twice that year. Once we realized what was going on and I read about other women who have dealt with PMDD, I cried with relief and hope that there was help for me.

At some point if period symptoms are bad enough, it's a symptom of endometriosis etc and should be treated

Sometimes my husband buys me sunflowers (my favorite flower) when he stops at the grocery store and it absolutely makes my week. Sometimes I pick up a carrot cake slice (his favorite cake) when I stop for lunch and he is overjoyed.

And how "being cautious" is second nature to most women. ~~Dark parking lots at night? Nope. ~~Let the car run out of gas? Nope. ~~Last one to leave your office building at night? Nope.

T'Mar of Vulcan: You just got lucky. Having grown up in Finland looking like a girl, I got harassed for the first time at 8yr by a flasher and I'd been groped by 11yr, learned from bad stories to avoid the park alone around the same time. So many school friends didn't get off that lightly

Yeah. Once the trust is broken, it can't be fixed.

If you expect people to disappoint you, you'll never be disappointed.
