We're learning all our lives. But some things and experiences teach us more than others.

A month ago, Reddit user Artudetan posted a question on r/AskMen that read, "What did you not know or realize until after living with a woman?" Turns out, a lot!

From "the good bra" to doing the dishes, the post has already received over 14,000 answers and judging from them, getting a roommate can be quite educational!

Men Share 'What Did You Not Know Or Realize Until After Living With A Woman?': And Here're 40 Of The Top Answers Fine, I'll say it.

I always thought that pads operated like Band-aids and they'd just slap em over their vaginas and absorb everything. It wasn't until I was... 27? When my girlfriend at the time had some as a backup in case she ran out of tampons and I opened it and looked. The adhesive was on the wrong side for my version of how they worked, and it dawned on me that they're supposed to be stuck to their panties, not their vaginas. I only regret telling her of that revelation, because she laughed until she cried and then called her mom to tell her about it.

Men Share 'What Did You Not Know Or Realize Until After Living With A Woman?': And Here're 40 Of The Top Answers When you’re having a really tough day, she unexpectedly comes home and surprises you with a bottle of your favorite drink, homemade cookies and a dinner you love. And then she cuddles with you while you vent about your now not so crappy day. And you realize what it’s like to actually have someone support you.

And you find yourself wanting to make sure the toilet seat is down, smiling when you can never find anything in the kitchen, rolling with it when the living room turns into a 12 stage laundry OCD deployment zone, and you laugh when you trip over her shoes that are now tangled in a knot of hair bigger than the dog.

Because your house/apartment is no longer a place you live at, it’s now your home. And it’s safe to be the real you, not the show you put on when you were dating.

Men Share 'What Did You Not Know Or Realize Until After Living With A Woman?': And Here're 40 Of The Top Answers That she owns only one truly GOOD BRA. There is only one and part of your duty as a man is to protect The Good Bra. If you are doing laundry, you must take the greatest of precautions to make sure it is properly cleaned, dried, and stored. God forbid The Good Bra ever turn up missing or in the wrong drawer.

Ladies, why is there only one GOOD BRA?

Yes. Yes, there is. The one and only! ♡ Because, a product, to be mass-produced, it needs to be built within certain norms and patterns, but each woman has different breasts. As a result, it's difficult to find the perfect one, but once you do find it, it becomes precioussssss. Not to mention, these things aren't cheap either. (Waiting for replies of the ladies whose boobs need no support. Respect to you, sisters, but see... just because I don't need braces, I'm not protesting against the dentist industry.)

I have small chesticles and can get away with not wearing a bra most of the time...I still own one good bra and damn is it a good bra. I will kill to keep the good bra safe. I hand wash the good bra. The good bra must be protected.

I am devastated coz I have one good bra that fits all the right places and is very comfortable. I went to get another one a week later but they sold out and now no longer stock it and I haven't found a bra like it since. I dread the day my bra wears out.

The challenge is that you don't know if the bra is going to be the one when you purchase it, only time will tell. You can purchase 5 perfectly fitting bras, but only one of them is the one. By the time you realize which one it is and go back to the bra store the same style is no longer available. That's when the one you have becomes extra precious. And wow, I'm a bra wearer for over 20 years and only now I realize that this theory of only one good bra is true and the real challenge in life! Now I can also remember many of my best bras from past years, it's sad that they age so soon.

We have a washing machine with no agitator (largely because of bras). I almost never put loads into the washer (she insists that's her job), I suspect because of the bra. Not sure. However, I do often take loads OUT of the washer and put them into the dryer. There is a little clothes line above the washing machine. It's just for the bras. Do not put any bra into the dryer (excepting the sports bras) in my house, that's a serious crime!

Because finding a good bra is like finding a unicorn. Bras are these tight, strappy things that have the potential to gouge and leave friction burns or be just a bit off in fit where we're constantly aware of them all day. They're the first thing we can't wait to rip off when we get home, even with the comfortable ones. And no woman should ever let anyone else wash them, that should be on her to keep in the condition she needs it to be.

There is only 1 because its the 1 that fits correctly! Its the one that doesnt hurt shoulders or poke you in the armpit. Its the one where your nipple doesnt poke out after moving too much! You can buy 12 of the same bra, in the same style/size/brand and only 1 of them will end up as the good bra!! Lololol!

That one bra fits you closer than you are to God. It's divine and you usually buy a lot of them and wear them until there is only one bra left..by which time they are usually discontinued and you have to start the process of finding 'The One' again. 🤦‍♀️

i have multiple good bras, but i was a devout free the titties person until i gained a little weight and also started having pain because of my bad connective tissue. i'd honestly recommend the website herroom.com, they have a universal sizing system in place that makes it easier to find something that actually fits, plus you can return things easily if they aren't comfy or don't fit. unfortunately there IS a lot of "this product is discontinued so sizes and colors may be limited", but i've still been lucky in that i found multiple things that i love and that are comfortable!

Because they’re very hard to come by. Then when you finally find a brand you like, the company change or cease production of the bra. And it’s no good telling us to buy 2 or 3 at a time, they’re too expensive.

Because trying on a bra is different to actually wearing it for a while, so you don't know it's a good or bad bra when you buy it. And also bras are expensive so buying many at a time is not possible for many women.

I am petite (5'1") and ridiculously over endowed, so my bras have always been expensive because you can't buy them off the rack. Talking E-G size cups here. You have to go a plus size retailer or order online, plus you seldom get the option of trying on different styles. So my bras run $50-85 USD and that's when they're ON SALE. So yeah, my resources are limited and I can buy 2 per year maximum. ALL my bras are my good bra.

Wash bras either by hand or on the delicate cycle in the washer which I do and doesn't appear to be too rough on them. NEVER put them in dryer as the heat and vigorous motion cause them to lose their shape and elasticity fast.

Not been my experience per se. Depends on the woman. I dated a woman who had at least fifteen different matching sets of pants and bras (not sure what the pants to bra ratio was as there appeared to be more than one set of pants that were the same). I'd say she thought they were all "GOOD" although several were reserved for "special occasions" :D

Because you have to buy 50 to find one good one and that gets expensive.

I have my favourite boxer shorts, and that's why I own 10 pairs of them.

why only one 'good bra'? because breasts are not mass produced to be the same for all women. because a 'good' bra can start at $40+ depending on the maker. because such a cost provides good support and protection (yes, protection). because it is easier to maintain and control junkyard dogs than two mammary glands that have to be taken care of for 12 to 18 hours a day while being physically comfortable for such a feat. other bras can be cheaper but not only don't they maintain their support but will fall apart fast regardless of treatment. a good bra will last a couple of years with care.

I tell my DD wife that a bra is like an orthopedic support device... Not underwear. Don't cheap out!! I don't care if they cost a hundred bucks if they fit right for once. But of course... She cheaps out.

I have only jog bras (still maturing). I have some that I hate, because my band size actually SHRUNK (I was overweight). I have some that I only wear if I have to, because I got them a bit too small (comfy, except I get a mark under the band) I have some I love so much the straps are almost ruined, and so I got more of the same :). I have yet to try a cupped bra that fits correctly, even if I do something like a backbend.

Because a well fitting, comfortable bra is hard to find and usually cost a fortune. Imagine if you had only one pair of boxer brief that didn't bind, pull or push in the wrong places and cost $50.00. You're be washing your tighty whities with utmost care as well.

Period Panties.

I wasn't shocked or disgusted by it because I wasn't a 12-year-old; it was just like, "Huh. Yeah, I guess I'd have a separate selection of underwear to use when I'm menstruating, too. Why the Hell would I ruin all of my sexy underwear?".

If they leave stuff at the bottom of the stairs, that means you’re supposed to bring it up. If it’s at the top of the stairs, you should bring it down. Also, the correct place for objects in the kitchen is where they currently reside. Stuff is gonna move around constantly, just roll with it.
