Since we were little, we have always heard about what as a man or a woman we are supposed to do or how to act. And even now, years later, when we’re trying to break various stereotypes, there are things that we don’t know about another gender. Despite tons of different sources that might help us understand men and women better, Reddit user @u/0Timato0 asked men of Reddit “what was something you didn't know about women till you got with one?” The question that received 37.2k upvotes received thousands of answers that some people found useful and for others, it put a smile on their faces.
A lot of men online were shocked by how fast everything becomes covered in hair after starting dating a woman, revealing some of the places they find most of it. A Reddit user even suggested that people should check their office chair wheels as they might be covered in hair. Have you checked yours already? Some other interesting things that men were quick to notice included women’s ability “to withstand unbelievable temperatures” or that the buttons on their shirts as well as zippers on other clothing are on the other side.
Which one of these discoveries was the most interesting? Perhaps you have one too? Then don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments down below!

That it really /is/ the thought that counts. At least, with the right woman. A random candy bar when she was having a bad day often meant way more than a very nice meal/evening out.

I think I'm scary about my Twix bars. One disappeared off my desk once and I had (what I though was) a minor temper tantrum. I guess I overdid it and scared everyone because the next day when I came to work there were like a dozen Twix bars on my desk. Sometimes when my boss has bad news or a big project, he hands me a Twix bar before he tells me...

That periods will hurt. I always thought it’s just the blood leakage and the discomfort & awkwardness associated with it but never knew that women get pain from it until i had my first relationship at 21. Really sad that they had to endure this every month. It’s kinda unfair that they had to go through this apart from 1000 other problems they face everyday.
Women’s anatomy is an endless mystery.

My favourite explanation: “ it’s like someone asks to build you a nursery, but you say no and they do it anyway. They paint, they set up furniture, the whole nine yards despite your protests. Then at the end of the month when there’s nothing to put in it, they have a tantrum and trash the place like an 80’s rock band, then light it on fire.”

I was lucky enough to rarely suffer from monthly issues, but when I did it was horrible! My daughter had/has terrible problems with it. Heating pads, Tylenol or advil, chocolate, ice cream, tea/coffee, whatever makes it easier for her.

Probably not the greatest advice here but alcohol stops the cramps. A couple glasses of wine or a couple shots of whiskey will do the trick. And being a lil tipsy and walking is better than being 100% sober on the floor bc your cramps won't let you stand up.

My dad was a coach for a women's soccer team (age 14 to 50-ish), he had a big portable First aid kit with him and taught every other trainer that "the most important items in it are tampons and pads. Lots." In the end, even the players from the enemy came to him for help. (In the 1990-ies, in a rural German town, he kind of rose to legendary fame among the league's players. 😍). - @fathers, brothers, boyfriends, classmates, roommates...: yes, it really can be that easy to become a hero.

My boobs tried to kill me, so I had them removed. (Breast cancer). I had the reconstructed using my stomach tissue. I rarely wear "proper" bra's these days, and prefer softer bralets I will only wear a wired bra in rare occasions. I don't have to worry about nipples pointing out now either. They were removed too, and I didn't get around to having them tattooed back on, or even having revision surgery after the reconstruction. 4 months after the reconstruction I was diagnosed with Stage 4 as the cancer had spread to my bones. I'm still happy and comfortable in my bralets though.

Tampons are super absorbant. She came home one day and the sink was full of saturated tampons because i was just amazed by how much water one can hold. I was chastised and sent immediately out to buy more. Totally worth it.

Soldiers/medics in the field have used them as a way to stop bleeding until a Dr can see the injured soldier. They are particularly useful for those who have been shot. They stop the bleeding, or absorb the blood, when either inserted into a wound or laid on a wound and taped in place.

All my life if someone complained about a problem, my response was to think of and offer solutions. That‘s how you help and show you care. If I have a problem, I welcome ideas on how to fix it. Women don’t necessarily work the same way. There are times she just wants you to listen and not try to fix it. Replace “maybe don’t hang out with Karen,” with “Man, Karen sure can be a b***h sometimes.“

That there is a wrong way to fold a towel
Lene 3 years ago
I feared this was only me. Lol. I just want them folded in a specific way so there's room for them all on the shelves (think tetris). My bf thinks it's stupid because his way of folding is a teeny tiny tad faster for him or something.

Fold in half lengthwise, then half again, then roll. It makes it look very neat, you can fit more towels on the shelf and it gives you a spa like feel.

As i keep saying to my Husband, a towel in a scrunched up ball is not a fold, think he does it just to annoy me now 🙈

Yes 32 years I he still gets it wrong. And don't get me started on the sheets.
Brenda Spagnola-Wilson 3 years ago
YES! There most definitely is a right and a wrong way. NEVER fold long way first - always in half. And please make sure the edges align!

I never knew what soft sheets felt like until I spent the night with a girl for the first time. Who knew what thread count was? Women. Women know. Most men do not.
I was 17 and remember laying in her bed and was like “why the f**k is bed as soft as a cloud?!” She laughed and just thought I was being funny. When she laid in my bed she understood. My sheets felt like cardboard by comparison. That’s when she taught me about thread count for sheets. Such an eye opener.

A friend of mine moved in with her boyfriend. His duvet cover was a mid-toned grey/slate blue. Until she washed it a week later, and it turned out to be light green.

YES!!!! Sheets, blankets, duvet covers MUST be 100% cotton, none of this microfiber $hit, or poly/cotton blend $hit. And 100% cotton flannel for winter, with a heated mattress pad, set to preheat an hour or so before bed. You'll especially need a heated mattress pad if you have a memory foam mattress, and live in the north...speaking from personal experience, hahaha.

Are guys really this naive??? My first serious girlfriend more than 25 years ago, I had to educate her about the quality of a good firm bed, thread count on sheets. Her bed was horrible and felt like you were sleeping on rocks and sand paper.

Birth control has some truely horrendous side effects, and it's sad that modern medical science hasn't come up with safer birth control options.
karen snyder 3 years ago
Please tell me that's sarcasm, my dude...JIC you're not joking, There are safe alternatives to a woman taking hormonal birth control, the most popular one is called a condom. Bonus: they also prevent the spread of STIs.
Mrs. Zel 3 years ago
Preventing pregnancy isn't the only reason women take birth control. I got on the pill in my mid teens because the cramps were so bad it prevented me from doing things. Not having to deal with a period every single month is golden to me.

I feel obligated to tell you about a similar birth control pill designed for men. Has about the same side effects as the female version but the twist is that it was canceled due to all the side effects.

Not just "when", but sometimes way before, all the time between ovulation and menstruation.

Ovulation can be painful as well. The pain can be a dull cramp or a sharp and sudden twinge. It's usually on either the left- or right-hand side of your tummy depending on which ovary is releasing the egg. It can last just a few minutes or continue for a day or 2.

Loads I didn't know until I got married, then even more I learned 25 years after that when I had a daughter. One of my first realizations just how expensive it was being a female just factoring bath, beauty, & sanitary products. And my lady doesn't go for the super expensive luxurious brands either.

That's because of the stupid "pink tax". Not enough women in gov't to make the changes we need- not yet anyway!

I tried to avoid "just women" products as much as possible for this reason. Of course period products and make up are something that I have to pay as a "women product" with all the increased prices, but there are so many other things that are unisex or for men but good for women as well (razor above all, but also some lotions, shampoos, conditioners, moisturizers). I just learned to read well all the ingredients, and when they are the same or mostly similar to women products, they are good for me.

How soft they are. I know I know. But when i was younger it didnt hit me till my first time just how much softer they were than me. Also cold. Women I've known all seem to get cold very easy. Its great. They're like the ultimate cool side of the pillow. And my big warm a*s is appreciated for frozen fingers and feets. Everybody wins.

um, maybe you're mistaking the time when you're in ovulation mode, which comes before premenstruation...you're in a great mood during the ovulatory phase...orgasms are better...you feel pretty...maybe not though, your breasts hurt during premenstruation and your hormones are all over the place..and your period starting is a relief from all that...and, if you're someone who doesn't get cramps, even more so...
