40 Things Men Didn’t Know About Women Until They Got Into A Relationship
Romantic relationships reveal a lot. Spending each day with a soulmate by your side and opening your heart to them is one of the greatest joys in life, and it also gives valuable lessons about who you are as a human being. But creating a healthy connection involves a mutual give-and-take between partners. So if love floating in the air has led you to discover some weird quirks about yourself, chances are that you learned a great deal about your significant other too.
A question on Reddit recently posted by user Foolu is an excellent example of that. They decided to reach out to the Ask Reddit community and invite men to open up about what things they learned about women only after getting into a relationship. And boy, did they deliver!
We at Bored Panda went through the responses and handpicked some of the most interesting and relatable ones. So continue scrolling to read about the eureka moments from men and hit upvote on your favorite ones! If you’re in the mood for even more things guys learned about their partners only later in life, check out our earlier pieces about it here and right here.

That they are very capable of solving their emotional problems themselves. Sometimes they just need someone who listens to their story without them saying whats right or wrong.
They don't...stop..thinking... at all. I can be sat on the sofa staring at the wall and my mind is a void... occasionally a though may float past, like a discarded crisp packet in the breeze.. then.. back to silence.
Whereas every woman I've been with seems to have a brain like an 80's stock exchange... thats on fire... and full of angry murder hornets.... so much activity.
A good hug when “nothing” is wrong works wonders.
A hug. Without trying to initiate anything. A hug without touching intimate body parts thinking its funny. Just a hug, it's really not hard. You're way more likely to get fun times later on if you respect her needs in that moment and make her feel valued and heard.
Until I actually lived with my partner it was hard to comprehend just how often a period comes, how long it lasts, and how much it can affect your day to day.
What a pain in the a*s. I do not envy the ladies.
which proves how poor awareness about periods are. not trying to make this comment negative though, i'm actually very happy OP figured this out
They tell you to put the seat down on the toilet because they legit fall in if they don’t notice.
Honestly? How much unnecessary guilt women carry around with them over everything.
First girlfriend I had (18 at the time) everytime I did something nice would either apologize or promise some kind of sexual reward. At first it seemed hot but after a few times in a row I just told her I wasn't doing nice things for a reward but because I cared about her. Made her cry and we talked it out afterwards but yeah after that (and just other things I talked to my female friends about) my eyes were opened to how invalid women seem to feel.
Periods suck. Bras suck. Shaving suck. Women don’t get enough pockets on their clothing. And they appreciate compliments A LOT on things they may be insecure about. (Like stretch marks or thighs)
My wife hates her stretch marks. When she's feeling extra down on them I remind her I think they're sexy. I mean we (she) brought life into this world and those stretch marks are a constant reminder of all the memories of her pregnancy. There were bad times for sure, but I see the faces of my babies in those stretch marks. She endured all of that for us. She brought my greatest joys into this world. How can I look at those and not appreciate everything she's done?
That my hoodies are actually her hoodies.
My first relationship I always wondered why my girlfriend would rant at me about things like horrible coworkers, stress dealing with projects etc. and then get mad at me when I tried to talk through the problems, break them down and help come up with workable solutions. My second relationship I realised when women do this, they just want to rant and have a hug at the end. They don't want your advice, they don't want a calm, rational discussion about what they can do to make a situation better. Don't pour kerosene on that fire, just let it burn out.
Not only women. Sometimes I need to vent about my idiot colleague or customer, talk about how stupid they are for five to ten minutes, then have a cup of tea or shot of rum (or yell at wall for a minute) and then I can forgot about it. And sometimes I just need to hear myself to see the solutions. After all, how else I can discuss the problem with somebody who knows as much as I do about the problem?
That periods are a f**king nightmare that we should be grateful we never have to experience, and sympathetic to those who have to suffer them regularly: light or heavy they’re a frigging beast to deal with while living a normal day to day life.
That relationships take a f**k ton of work and commitment.
Before I got into one, I thought love and passion was all that was needed.
I couldn't have been more wrong.
A real relationship takes so much practical work.
Love, passion, dedication, and trust are the foundations, yes.
However, there are so many more practical considerations on top of that.
Some prominent examples:- Attachment styles.- Finances.- Distance.- Emotional bandwidth.- Maturity level.- Sacrifice.- Commitment.- Discomfort and confrontation.- Learning how to argue and disagree healthily.- Concerns about intimacy and sex.- Power dynamics.- Place in life and relative experiences, sexual and otherwise.
The list goes on.
Relationships are a LOT of f**king work and as I learned the hard way, you could love someone more than life itself and be willing to die for them and think they are your one true soul mate AND THEY CAN FEEL THE SAME EXACT WAY but if these other things aren't in place, then it will NOT work and you will experience the most soul crushing and excruciating heartbreak of your entire existence.
What might be a really small thing for me to give her (a gesture, compliment, smile, etc.) can mean a whole lot to her.
That they don't wear matching underwear all the time. Genuinely thought the bra and panties were always a set. I blame the Sears catalogue.
Do you know how expensive lingerie sets are? f that I'm wearing underwear from Hema.
Finding a doctor who won't assume they're either on their period or that it's "all in their head" is insanely hard. It's difficult to understand if every trip to the doctor has been normal and helpful as a dude.
Sadly sometimes the best thing that you can do is go with her to her appointments. Doctors of both sexes listen more to men than to women so being there might help her get a proper treatment.
Absoflippinlutely! I have muscle-invasive bladder cancer - and my oncourologist is great for the actual malignancy but he is totally clueless about the whole female aspect of this & requested my SO come to my appointment - because he only knows how to explain things from a male point of view. That is AFTER THE 2 YEARS OF BLOOD IN MY URINE AND JOKING ABOUT MY PROSTATE PROBLEMS. .. And I have a very good female primary care physician - the 1st time I saw her after the diagnosis she said "well! That's not where we thought this was going! " AFTER AT LEAST 6 MOS OF MY TELLING HER & EVERYONE ELSE - HEY- I REALLY THINK THAT I HAVE CANCER! -I am still dealing with the bias issues. For a female a radical cystectomy includes removal of THE ENTIRE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM - INCLUDING THE FRONT WALL OF THE VAGINA - and yet all I get once I finally figure this out (because it is NOT explained to you at all until it is the only thing that you have left to try to get disease free!) My male onco urolog

I started bringing my husband so that I'd get the help I need. Oddly we've found several doctors that are uncomfortable with my husband being there as if they don't like that they have to listen when he is there.
And finding one who will take your pain seriously is a near-impossible task! Like, sir, I've dealt with so much pain in my life that if I'm actually coming to you about it, it's because it's about to literally kill me!
I have the tolerance for meds of an elephant. I had a pain management doctor once tell me that " do you realize that you're on as much pain meds as a cancer patient?!" To which I replied ,"then maybe you have some kind of idea of how much pain I'm in."

As a kid I would get sick easily since I was 2 and run fevers at 102⁰F and everytime I told the doctors they would just dismiss it and say it was probably something I ate or my shampoo wasn't the right kind. Imagine ever since your 6 you'd go to doctor appointments and have catheters in you. Wasn't until I switched to a female doctor at 9 that she recommended I see a specialist. Turns out my kidney wasn't formed properly when I was born and I had to get surgery done because my fevers were getting too high and they thought I would have 3years left if it went untreated. Got the first surgery that didn't work and at 11 my last surgery worked so now I'm able to go outside and have fun without having to take 5 different types of medication.
Three times I had health issues that only got solved when my regular doctors were too busy and I had to be treated by a woman doctor in the same practice. Once was a broken bone he had said was probably "just arthritis". Once it was a completely blocked gall bladder that was "just heartburn" and the third was fibromyalgia that was "just stress".
This is so difficult and so frustrating and can cause so much unneeded suffering. It took me roughly 10 years to find a specialist for a potentially life-altering medical condition who would actually listen to my concerns based on my observations living in my body with this condition 24/7. I know you've got the medical degree, but when you tell me I can't have experienced something I'm bringing to you as a concern - especially when it's a symptom of a common comorbid condition - we have a problem.
I heard a case once where a woman's family doctor kept telling her that this problem she kept complaining about all the time was nothing more than just female hysteria he called it. Her husband went on vacation to Hawaii. Well she started feeling really bad so they took her to a doctor there in Hawaii. That doctor immediately admitted her to the hospital. It turned out that she had internal infection. The doctor in Hawaii saved her life, her own doctor kept ignoring what was going on.
This is absolutely true. I have been gaslighted by doctors for years. Then one day my husband went to the doctor with me to explain to them how bad it really was. I then got a referral to a G.I. specialist and was put on the right track and medication. It's extremely sad how I had to deal with all that misery and pain until the day I brought my husband in. Things seriously need to change.
I legitimately cannot see any medical professional without crying because I've had to fight for doctors to believe or listen to me over years of chronic illness. I finally have an excellent care team but panic when I'm asked to make an appointment because I know I'll cry and it's uncontrollable and embarrassing.
Before anyone says men have this problem too: Women are more likely to die of heart attack (according to a bias study done in a Florida general hospital)U.s. women have the highest postpartum death rate of any developed country(CDC via CIA world Factbook,2018) multiple women report issues with sterilization (personal interviews 2019-2022) until recently lupus and MS were thought to be examples of female hysteria
(Personal interview,former Healthcare worker,2022) I am not saying that men do not experience this but it is not on the same systemic scale that women ,particularly women of color report these biases & discrimination

So true! My tubes are tied I'm 42 and I take birth control to slow and reduce bleeding. My Dr is a female, I was having so many uterine issues and she just kept telling me birth control and vitamins. Finally after waking up in a pool of blood and ending up in the hospital due to bleeding I made my husband go to my GYNO apt so he could tell her how bad it really is. After that apt and him telling her what he had witnessed she finally after 3 years of me begging set me up for a hysterectomy! And here I lay reading these top 40 things men didn't know or realize the day after my hysterectomy that I swear my husband finally got for me bc they listened to him!!
I'd love to blame misogyny but worst of all - it's WOMEN Drs ignoring/mistreating us moreso than the men. I have hemifacial atrophy and the Drs refused to acknowledge that half my face was sinking in until now that I require full reconstructive surgery. They kept telling me to take pics to keep track (which I did for 4years, plus measurements in the photo with an actual measuring tape...) they still somehow shrugged that off for another year with my Dr at the time that I begged for help so I can chew again, she literally shrugged and smiled and said "at least your still pretty".. they always blame everything on my anxiety and tell me to see a therapist but they need therapists to learn basic f***ing compassion and observation skills. They seem as if they become Drs because they enjoy watching people suffer
Don't like doctors...they're just gonna tell me something I already know (im sick) and then take money I ain't got. Then I got two problems now I sick and broke
Ahh yes, this one. That's how my breast cancer went undiagnosed for 2 years. 🙄
As a female, I can't even begin to describe what it's like and how FRUSTRATING it is to be talked to in a condescending manner about how it's "ALL in my head"!😡🤬 So I will say this, I stopped going to the Drs.
This! Doctors seem to think we're being hysterical or making s**t up when we complain about being in pain. I have fibromyalgia and I honestly wished I could break out in purple stripes with my ex. What part of "I'm in pain for no apparent reason do you not understand? And NO - I do not want to have sex right now". My (now) husband gets it completely. Hence, he's now my husband.
For the most part I refuse to go to male doctors because they just don't get it
Went to a&e with breathing difficulties and was informed it was a panic attack. I’d had problems for almost a month. Had a CT scan for a cardiac problem and turned out I was in the verge of double pneumonia. I also had a fractured spine but I have a high pain tolerance.
Even some of them are, more or less sexist. Emphasis on some

This has nithing to do with gender.its just most doctors. After about 5 words you just sound like an adult talking to Charlie Brown.
Having their period. I have never had a gyno use the phrase, "on their period". That is a man invented thing. "That guy was on his ejaculation"
Yup going on 5 years of this! .. finally being referred to a female gyno!!
I've gone to our family doctor and explained tge pain I was having and asked for something to help, after all I'd falled and broken my vertebrae. She just nodded and ignored me! My husband was with me, all he did was recite word for freaking word what I had said and poof I had meds that could help! I get so frustrated with her.
I’m lucky and I don’t know why, but this cr*p happened to me once and I ordered her to leave the room. I was miserable, waited hours, begged for place to lay down… When I was seen I was in tears and not seeing who I expected. When she suggested my issue was psychological I told her to leave and find someone appropriate. I had a PID - pelvic infection or pelvic inflammatory disease. I had a penicillin injection then spent over a week in bed. I don’t remember reading or listening to music. I’ve had nothing else and bringing my boyfriend has at times been a problem. No, that’s not true. … He’s really f*cked things up for me. I want to go to med school partly because I hear these things. I’ve had a great 1° provider for years, he’s retiring in December and has been my sounding board and inspiration for medicine. I’m close to retirement age but my ex alienated my kids from me so I have no accomplishments, no value to show for my life. Maybe I can be useful still?
So very much this!!! Even having a female gendered doctor I run into this as a woman patient. Just as often as this week and I work in a hospital and was using medical terminology to tell what I was having for symptoms... Was offered anti anxiety meds as a helper solution. Instead of fixing the problem solutions.
This is that moment where I go “oh no, I live in the USA”

Especially when dealing with female problems. There is a reason I have always preferred to have a woman gynecologist and OB. (Those who have had children tend to have a more in depth understanding of what it's like to go through the processes rather than just what the books say.)
Yes! This! I have chronic migraines. I went to the doctor several times a week to have them treated (I can't see or walk sometimes. I've ended up in the ER with suspected strokes). I *know* what pain is! My doctor was always sympathetic about the migraines, but when it came to my period, I had "a low pain threshold*! He didn't even try to understand. I don't think he even comprehended it until I finally got a hysterectomy and *didn't need pain medication* because my cramps had been worse! Worse than major surgery! I hope he carried that lesson into his future treatment with women who still had periods...but I'm not holding my breath.
I was in a therapist's office once. the walls were thin and I could hear the woman next door telling her problems. Then silence, and then the therapist and the SO said something and laughed.
It's lead to a huge distrust of Doctors for me. I've gotten a gastric ulcer and I've been putting it off bc I don't want to hear it. Also I've been vomiting every few mins
It took me until my early thirties to find a doctor who believed me when I described the terrible pain I've lived with for years...it broke my heart when he retired and I had to start over with a doctor who hasn't been nearly as helpful.
I actually think this gaslighting happens often to men as well, just that the reasons given are different and less sexist, so are more readily accepted by the patient.
My husband didn't believe this until he started going with me to appointments.
I'm hearing impaired & during Covid, l was in/out of drs & l couldn't understand BC everyone wore masks so my husband went to all my appts, PAP smear, mammogrsm, ENT, PCP! He was so cool & had the questions ready as well as jokes!
"Research on disparities between how women and men are treated in medical settings is growing — and it is concerning for any woman seeking care. Research shows that both doctors prescribe less pain medication to women than men after surgery, even though women report more frequent and severe pain levels." Men DO get dismissed, I've seen it with my husband so you're not wrong exactly but it is worse for women, there is a lot of research that backs that up.

• I’m more in tune with feelings and emotions now
• The amount of times women feel uncomfortable by men in day to day situations
They appreciate the gifts you've made, even if they're not good, just the fact that you put effort into making them something
The statement "just do what you want" no matter the tone, means you f**ked up.
Actually the most valuable thing I’ve learnt is be honest. If I’m going to the pub and know I’ll be back late, just be straight up and tell it like it is. Most girls like honesty (seems fairly obvious doesn’t it). The relationship I’m in now has been by far the best because I don’t try to play games which has got me into trouble in the past. Honesty and transparency. It’s the key.
When my hubby goes out I don't give a time I would like him to be home, I just ask what time is the latest he will be home. I do this for safety reasons, like when to know I should start freaking out lol. I don't care if he says 2am, he usually calls me if he thinks it will be later. He is the same with me. Of course there is a curfew if we already have plans arranged.
That birth control messes with their hormones a lot.
Yes. Asking someone to be on hormones daily just because "it doesn't feel as good with a condom" is far from reasonable. All women are different of course and different birth control works with different people but never expect someone to mess with their body for you.
The amount of hair they shed is unreal... Not sure how they still have a full body of hair on their head after a week.
My daughter stays with me, each week I sweep out enough hair to knit another daughter
They hate bras. That thing came flying as soon as the door closed behind her.
If men didn't do hell for them everytime when they saw swaying breasts, women wouldn't have to be tortured with bras.
I learned the most after living with a girl. I started to notice dust and tiny things that just went under my radar. I started taking better care of my skin and teeth after seeing their routine. I appreciated better kitchen appliances. Mostly their ability to turn a living space into something warm and welcoming. A woman’s touch is really something special.
You have to teach someone how to be a good lover to you.
People don’t magically know how to meet your needs. And they certainly can’t read your mind.
Yes. And when they tell you, you must be willing to really listen.
Period panties. That special pair that only come out once a month and look like someone wiped up acid with them. Woman’s bodies are amazing, fun, and terrifying in different times and situations.
Somehow men should also know that vaginas have a natural acidity and dark underwear can look bleached in the crotch because of that.
Snuggles are godlike. Clean and organize EVERYTHING. It’s good for your mental health and it gets you respect. This should be first but: “respect others as you wish to be respected”. Bodily autonomy and general “stuff that bodies do” is outside of everyone’s control, let’s all try to manage as we can and let others know if anything is weird. Talk, try, compromise. For the love of all that is holy: trade. I hate doing laundry, but I love cooking and doing dishes. She hates cooking and dishes and anything mucus related. We traded. I cook, I do dishes, I kill the mice, and I clean / take over all doggo snot stuff. She does the laundry and yells if I attempt to touch laundry to help fold. Point is, be dynamic / adaptive: find the difference, what do you want, what do they want. After that, figure out separate hobbies, you can’t be together forever isolated. Do separate hobbies, have separate friends, have faith in each other, enjoy your time together, and make boundaries serious. After that, it’s all you.
Anything mucus related😆. When was a kid, if I was barfing, especially if it ended up all over the place, that was a "dad thing". Mom headed for the hills. I dont know what the trade was on that one.
They shower with lava. At least thats what the water temperature felt like.
I'm female, but my male partner had no idea that women can't 'hold in' our periods like we hold in pee.
I found this out when he was telling me about a girl in 6th grade who got her period in class, and he couldn't believe how she just 'let it all out all over' (as if she peed in her pants but it was period blood).
I had to explain to him how it works. But I guess, how would he have known? I never thought about it.
Don't be fooled by her constantly forgetting where her keys and phone and stuff are, she'll definitely remember what you said word-for-word October 3 2017 at 6:14PM.
She is more accepting and understanding of my actions than I ever imagined possible. When I feel the need to justify she knew. When I felt unsure she encouraged, more! She more completely captures me, better than a selfie. She is a mirror more honest than my reflection. The brighter I beacon the better she shines making me better to be closer. I married her so results may vary.
If you can tell something is wrong and you ask them “Is something wrong? Let’s talk about it.” And they say “No”, that doesn’t mean nothing is wrong and they don’t want to talk. A lot of the time they just need time to process. Let it breathe, give some space, and let them bring it up later instead of being pushy.
I learned that girls find you attractive mostly for what you do and how you do it, rather than how you look. Guys are more visual in that sense. I've been with girls during periods when I thought I looked like s**t but I still managed, somehow, to be attractive in their eyes just from the way I treated others and the way I made them laugh.
This could be because how we evolved. Think about it, what is procreation for man? 5 minutes. For woman it is 9 months of pregnancy (and we all know that pregnant women are kind of fragile) and then caking care of a kid for ~10 years. So men are looking for good physical traits, while women are looking for somebody who will take care of them for next 10 to 20 years. Somebody who will protect them when they are vulnerable. And mostly, somebody who will protect them from other men. Nicolas Lloyd has a theory that this is why dance is so important. What does a good dancer need? Stamina, good coordination, dexterity, reading other people,... it is same list as a good fighter. But do you want somebody who fights a lot? No, that guy will be dead sooner than later, because he will p**s off everyone. You want somebody, who would be a good fighter when needed.
Make up is expensive as f*ck.
Their favorite bra doesn't get washed much.
*the only bra that fits properly and doesn't make a boob fall out in inappropriate situations * 😂
That they have their own libido. As a teenage male, it didn't occur to me. Yeah, I was a dumba*s. There was always so much talk about boys going through changes and having urges, that it truly never occurred to me that girls felt the same.
That's because all we ever talk about with girls is periods and how not to get pregnant. Nobody talks about how girls can be walking hormone bombs (aside from getting their periods) or how confusing a changing female body can be and how weird it is that getting a pair of boobs suddenly makes everyone treat you differently.
They fart just as much as guys do.
You don’t have enough hangers.
That the difference between men and women is surprisingly small
That morning routine ain't no joke

Why is it in all of these posts about men learning things about women, or the publicized stupidity of some of the men out there (especially on the topic of women), you just see a ton of comments that group men as a whole being stupid, overly sexual, rude, needy, etc.? I get that, yes, men suck (and I agree with a lot of those opinions), really because too many guys can't keep their thoughts INSIDE of their head, but it doesn't need to spill out to men as a whole. Because of all of this, and my life experiences, I'm genuinely averse to being a male myself. For all of the issues about so many men that women bring up, I totally agree, but the small amount of men who do or say bad things publicly, do not need to be cast over all, not even the majority, of men. To those woman who have been kind and courteous, encouraging even, about the men who have learned things in these posts, thank you. The world needs more women like you.
This is one I have to laugh at now; I happened to see myself go into a hot flash while washing my hands in the bathroom. I walked into the living room and told my husband (seriously, it's kinda creepy to see yourself just flush red out of nowhere). His response? "Cool! Can you do it on command?" No. No, I cannot. If I could control it, it wouldn't happen AT ALL. We still make jokes about it, actually...
A: Am I the only woman left on earth who doesn't have massive issues with her period? I'm 42 with 3 kids and I've never really noticed anything but the mess. B: Copper IUD. Look into it. There are no hormones, it lasts over 10 years. Fertility returns almost instantly after you remove it. And again, I don't even notice it most of the time. I believe that it's suppressed because they can't make a lot of money from something that only needs attention every decade or so.
Who hurt you David? I just don't even have the energy to address all the things wrong with your comments. BTW, I'm a dude too.
