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!

Men Online Reveal 30 Things They Learned About Women Once They Started Dating One 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.

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.

Men Online Reveal 30 Things They Learned About Women Once They Started Dating One 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.“

Men Online Reveal 30 Things They Learned About Women Once They Started Dating One That breast milk comes out of multiple ducts on the nipple not just one.

The first time my wife showed us with our first child and little streams went all different directions…it was so weird and surprising

UPDATE: awesome my most upvoted post is this. Lol. And yes it’s kind of like a shower head but also one of those kids crazy sprinklers as it can go in any direction

And yes for all the people asking “us?” I meant me and my wife. I remember the moment when she said come look at this - I think she had just figured it out too - she expressed some manually and it shot out in about ten different tiny streams in ten very different directions. We laughed so hard

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.

Men Online Reveal 30 Things They Learned About Women Once They Started Dating One 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.

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.
