Women Caught Men Thinking And Asked What’s On Their Mind, These 30 Answers Didn’t Disappoint
British satirical comedy show The Mash Report once did a hilarious skit about why you should never ask a man what he’s thinking. You’ll find the clip a little further down. Basically, in the fake news report a couple’s romantic weekend away was ruined after a guy’s wife wanted to know his innermost thoughts. Needless to say, his reply wasn’t what she wanted to hear. It had nothing to do with her, their holiday, their relationship, or anything of real substance. Instead, he was deep in thought about some random rubbish. And she was not impressed.
While intended to be satirical and funny, the fake news clip held some good, genuine advice: Don’t ask if you don’t want to know. And, the chances are he's thinking about nothing. Or nothing important. People have been sharing their own hilarious replies to the question "what are you thinking?" From the bizarre, to the confusing, to the downright annoying, Bored Panda has gathered the best answers. Keep scrolling for a glimpse into the mindless thoughts of men. And don't forget to upvote your favorites.

My wife saw me looking out over the deck at a beautiful sunset and asked what I was thinking and I asked if I was cloned or duplicated would my clones recognize I was in charge or would they try to take over which would backfire my plan of not working to begin with. She walked back in the house.
Right?!? Like who among us hasn't thought how much easier it would be if we had clones and could work multiple jobs or each work part of one
Load More Replies...Would the clone not believe that they were the real you, and that you were the clone getting above yourself?
Load More Replies...Had this conversation in my head a few times, and the only plan is to devise a partnership of equals, where the "original" go in knowing that he will wake up a clone (because that's what will happen from their POV), and ideally there will be a way to randomise the results. I need to create identities for all of them/us, as good as if they were for me (because they will be), and I need to clone my wife as well, obviously. Another way would be to have a process in which we share memories in real time, like if we are instances instead of clones, but then my wife might be grossed out by this. As you can see, I have given this a bit of thought, but now that I have a kid, I need to redo all the planning because I don't know how to handle this new variable.
Husband is into sci-fi, wife is into rom-coms. It could work, I suppose.
My girl: what are you thinking?
Me: how many kilojoule of fart would it take to lift me an inch from the floor?
42. Either that or it would take 23,034 average slaps to cook a chicken.
Load More Replies...And now I am sitting here wondering what the maximum force of a fart is..
I imagine it would take a fart so violent it would rip apart your réctum and possibly your colon.
My wife saw me staring off in the distance, squinting my eyes and asked what I was thinking.. I'm trying to line up the edge of the TV with a beam and ceiling behind it. Never asked me again.
Same... and conciously. Husband and I took ages lining up our footpath with our conservatory roof edge. We could see it on our CCTV system and it was frustrating when slightly out!
Load More Replies...Thoughts aren’t tangible things like coins or pens or strands of hair. So it’s not that easy to accurately count how many of them we have on any given day. But at least one research paper suggests the human mind receives an estimated 6-8 million thoughts per day, or around 2,500-3,300 thoughts per hour.
While some of these are important and useful, the vast majority are not. In fact, this Journal of Lifestyle Medicine review notes that "a detailed assessment of these thoughts proposes 90% of the thoughts to be irrelevant". Like some of the random thoughts listed on this page...
Whenever my wife asks what I'm thinking about, I always tell her I'm thinking about dragons. Truthfully, neither of us were thinking about dragons, but now we are both thinking about dragons. It's a win/win
Ends up both husband and wife were Chasing The Dragons in their minds... XP
I assume you mean the movie, 'Chasing the Dragon', which I've never watched. Another use of Chasing the Dragon is drüg slang for hero!n smok!ng from 1950's Hong Kong.

My ex-girlfriend would always ask me “a penny for your thoughts”. It got so annoying because many times I really was thinking about nothing. She wanted to hear something romantic and there really was nothing at the moment to share. That doesn’t mean I was never thinking about her romantically. It was just not so at that moment. This is how men think. Women need to understand that.
My partner doesn't believe men can literally be thinking of nothing. I do it all the time. She said her mind is constantly thinking of a hundred things. I can't even imagine what that is like. Sounds horrifying!
Waah? Isn't this how women think? I'm rarely thinking anything romantic, usually arguing on an imaginary chat show about something or other
I'm often just talking to myself in my head, not necessarily thinking, just having random chats like you do in dreams and allowing images of nothing in particular. This is when I am relaxed, not when I'm fretting about summat! Edit: Summat being a (specifically) northern english word for "something"
Load More Replies...I literally cannot imagine how you can just not be thinking of anything. Are you a freaking zen master?!?!
Aphantasia. Some people literally do not see or hear things in their heads.
Load More Replies...If you have to come up with romantic thoughts at the drop of a hat, then she needs to raise the request from a lousy penny to a worthwhile amount.
I’m not bothered about hearing anything romantic, but I do like finding out what makes people tick (however weird and random it may be)
married 22 years, I know better… when I ask, it’s because I know the answer will be ridiculous.
After a romantic dinner that he made to welcome me home…
Me: Babe, what ya thinking?
Hub: Not much…
Me: C’mon..
Hub: Jack the Ripper…
It’s that or the bunnies… I’d never expect some big romantic whatever…
“I’m wondering if a robot might be handy”
He’s the most perfect amount of weird!
My ex girlfriend once asked me while we were lying in bed, what’s your fantasy, something you’ve never told anyone? I said I sometimes fantasize about being the best footballer in the world who moonlights in a rock band……
She burst out laughing
Ladies (and everybody else for that matter), the correct response to this is to laugh and then ask what genre of music and which football team. And what he would do with all that money. And then reciprocate by telling him which superpower you would want if you could have any of them. (No fair having the superpower where you pick up the superpowers of every other hero you meet! You have to pick ONE.)
Teleporting. I'd be off to the beach during Lunch break. Or maybe to Fort Knox, who knows...

One time my ex-husband and I were laying in bed, cuddled up, secretly eating ice cream we'd hidden from the kids, and I asked what he was thinking about. I'll never forget his answer.
He said "RoboCop."
Oof, yeah, that was a movie series that peaked at the first one. Which makes it more of a downward slope rather than a peak, I guess.

Me: *thinks boyfriend is mad bc he’s being very quiet*
Me: “whatcha thinking about?”
Him: “about how bike tires are made”
????
Ladies we gotta stop worrying what boys are thinking bc 9 times out of 10 it’s some dumb s**t like this
I don't think it's dumb. That is an interesting question and something most of us take for granted so that we don't give it a second thought.
Now I'm have to look it up and hopefully there's a How It's Made that shows making tires.
Load More Replies...I've met a few women like that. And not only do they pester their men constantly to get an answer, they have an opinion about whatever that answer is. It would never even occur to me to do that.
Load More Replies...It's definitely not dumb. If I could only replace all the intrusive thought with things like that...man...that would be swell

Mine and my husband's conversation a few months ago:
Me: what are you thinking about? Cuz you look super focused.
Him: all the stuff I need to do on farming simulator
Me: why don't you play it then?
Him: I just wanna think about it right now, I'm not in the mood to actually play it.
I laughed so hard but I get it and I wouldn't have it any other way.
True, at least in my case. Try to think through a task PRIOR to starting. We HATE surprises. Nevertheless, we will still need 2 trips to the hardware store due to unforeseen parts/supplies we forgot or didn't think through.
Yeah, I once said I wonder why Elmer Fudd is such a bad shot. And how does the coyote keep buying all that acme stuff instead of just spending the money on a meal. I guess that’s why the relationship didn’t last long.
Number 2 doesn't answer the question of why he won't use the money to buy a meal.
Load More Replies...Maybe the acme is sending freebies to coyote to test out their weapons. They are secretly monitoring his actions.
Perhaps Wile E. Coyote (super genius) founded ACME? He is set for life monetarily but is trying to "get back to his roots". By allowing himself to get very hungry, he hopes to stir the more primitive aspects of his brain, but he keeps failing and resorts to high-tech options out of frustration.
That coyote thing is something I never thought about but is a good question.
Why does he keep buying rockets he has the worst luck with rockets?
Me & my girl were in bed just chillin. She was reading, I was watching tv & she looked at me & said “what’re you thinking about babe?”
I said “I wonder how many flavors of Gatorade there actually are.”
She just said nvm & kept reading.
I find it very intrusive for someone to ask me what i’m thinking - if i felt like sharing, i would have! I always have a go if someone asks me that question
How many is there? I looked it up and I got more than 20.
22 for Thirst-Quenchers, but there are a LOT of Gatorade varieties outside thirst-quenchers...

A few days ago my boyfriend was staring off so I was like “are you ok?” “Babe?” “Are you mad??”
This man snaps out of it and goes “huh..wut? Sorry I was looking at that squirrel..look at him living his life..I wonder if he has any responsibilities“
Bruh what??
Once, I watched ducks in the river floating along with the current, and I wondered if they were having a good time or were just like, "Quack, moving along, quack."
During a (seemingly) sweet and tender moment last night, I asked my boyfriend what he was thinking about and he said “how devastating Wookiees would be in a medieval setting.”
'Wookies In a Medieval Setting' will be a show on Disney Plus about 12 months from now. Gotta milk that cash cow.
But it will be "appropriate for modern audiences" and most likely be a financial failure.

About 20 years ago we talked about getting married. He said he was going to propose at some point so I was waiting.
After a couple times of wondering when and how it would happen, we were traveling together.
We ended up at the Arch in St. Louis. We were wandering through the park around sunset and he started glancing around a little nervous. Then he looked at me intently and I thought "oh wow this is it."
Then he said, "I'll be right back, I gotta [pee] and I can't find an outhouse."
But now I am curious, when and where DID the proposal happen?? And did he find an outhouse in time??
I just asked my husband of 3 children last night, "What was the greatest day of your life?" He was really thinking hard and I said "You don't have to choose between the kids births" and he said "Yeah that too, but I can't lie when the Eagles won the Superbowl 7 years back that was such a great day." REALLY!
I received a proposal on the night of the NCAA National Basketball championship. I said yes followed by, "But you know I still need to watch that game."
Lets make a schedule. The wedding is the last of the priorities!
Load More Replies...No doubt his wedding day ranks below that time he caught a really big bass
My wife asked me yesterday what I was thinking and I answered "Ace Ventura". No joke
Ace fighting the Eagle at the end had me pissing myself. I'll probably replayed that part about 20-30 times and just kept pissing myself each time. The way that the mascots head moved when Ace was hitting him had the tears flowing and my stomach hurting... That really is a fun movie.
I often quote "If I'm not back in 5 minutes, just wait longer!"

We went to see Gladiator 2 recently. After the movie I was sitting thinking and my wife asked what could possibly be on my mind as I looked very serious. I replied, “how the hell did they get great white sharks into the coliseum??”
Given that we cannot keep a great white alive in a tank with a bunch of shark experts doing everything they can to keep it alive... yeah no freaking way. Bull shark, sure, no problem those suckers are tough
The Romans did not have fish in the Colosseum. All they put in there for the water battles was water. They did get the rhino right, but the Rhino the Romans used was more likely the Asian (one horned) one than the African one show in the film.
Honestly not trying to be annoying but am so curious as to why so many people write "coliseum" iso "colosseum". Is there a different place that's actually called coliseum?
Both "coliseum" and "colosseum" can be correct, but they are used in different contexts: - "Colosseum" (with two "s" letters) refers specifically to the ancient amphitheater in Rome, Italy, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre. - "Coliseum" (with one "s" letter) is a more general term that can refer to any large theater or stadium. So, if you're talking about the famous ancient arena in Rome, "Colosseum" is the right choice. Otherwise, "coliseum" can be used to describe similar structures elsewhere.

I once asked a BF what he was thinking. The answer- 'Nothing, I was just singing a song in my head.'
Was 20 years ago, I'm still trying to decide if he was stupid or a genius.
Didn't you ask what the song was? Mine was just the Iron and Wine version of Waiting For a Superman. Ten minutes ago it was Animals, by Talking Heads.
The real problem is when you get a song in your head that is on a constant loop. Last week I was trying to get to sleep and Itsy Bitsy Spider kept running through my brain. The really bad part was I knew the time but couldn't remember all the lyrics. Oh c**p, here it comes again!
Woke up this morning with the lyrics and music for "The Wild Rover" by the Dubliners playing in my head. I had to listen to it on Google to get rid of the earworm.
I asked my husband what he was thinking one night laying in bed. He was staring up at the ceiling deep in thought. He said "I'm thinking about no cornices vs cornices"
My partner and I both just go with the last thought.
Me (at 10pm): I was just wondering why the sparrows stick around when I fill the birdfeeder, but the mourning doves leave for at least an hour before coming back to eat.
Him: What if I made t-shirts with our cat as the star on old skool rap album covers? Do you think anyone else would want them?
Previous thoughts that led to those comments would be a nightmare to untangle.
I'm weird too, I'm female, we were having dinner and I asked my boyfriend when we're going to excavate and eventually run out of all the Himalayas' pink salt...like what if we dig it all out and then it's gone. Turned out it's a pretty big mine. He was absolutely floored by my question though
Oh, that's fascinating! // Also, have you read the book "Salt: A World History" by Mark Kurlansky? He points out that for all of recorded human history, people have been trying to get salt that was white and uniform and finely ground, and were charging high prices for it... And now we have salt that is whiter and more uniform and more finely ground than EVER BEFORE-- and we're suddenly buying salt with impurities in it that make it funny colors, and THOSE are the expensive salts!
Load More Replies..."Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" "I think so, Brain, but where are we going to find rubber pants in our size?"
See, I don't understand why the female SO's on this thread didn't respond with their OWN bizarre thoughts. We all got 'em.
Like, should I set up a camera to see what the cats do when I’m not there? But then how much of the recording would I watch? Would I just fast forward to when they’re not sleeping? And by doing so, would it then be mildly ironic that I’m watching footage of my cats when I’m home with them? Also random things said by Bobby from King of the Hill… “That’s my purse! I don’t know you!”.
Load More Replies...Now I’m going to lose sleep wondering about the sparrows and the doves…..do they have a rota?
Not quite the same but I still laugh at this glimpse into whatever’s going on (or not going on!) in my hubbys brain sometimes. We were watching a movie together and he asked me “Hey, is that the actor from that Jesus movie we watched?” And I said “Which Jesus movie?” And he said “The Jesus Christ movie”
You mean "the Last Temptation of Christ" right? Everybody has watched that movie! You know, the one with the Green Goblin actor!
Once, I was imagining that all humans had been wiped out and I was following, with my mind's eye, a pack of dogs as they learned to fend for themselves. Just as I got to the part where they encountered a wolf for the first time, I hear, "what are you thinking?"
I said, "nothing."
"I know you're thinking about something, I can tell."
This stuff makes me sad because I have no mind's eye. It's probably for the best though; I get lost in thought enough as it is.
Some time ago on a hike a guy stopped, looked in my eyes, hugged me and said 'today is 6 months we've known each other' to what I replied 's**t, is it 5th today? The salmon in my fridge goes out of date'. What was indeed true, I remember I had to cook it by 5th.
I wonder if I could bite through a crab’s leg.

"After 15 minutes of silence" - since when? The last time either of you made a noise? Since she asked for a reason to stick with you?
I wonder if I could start my own business selling sand from the beach.
There are people who sell air in jars from various places in the world (e.g., the Rockies) so why not?
A beach on Jamaica was stolen overnight in 2008. So there's definitely a market for illicit sand.
My ex wife used to ask me what I was thinking alllllllllllllll the time, and I would say nothing, I'm not thinking of anything. She would keep asking me for over a year until I just said alright you want to know what I'm thinking? 'm thinking who would win between the white queen professor in a chess match on the astral plane with the x-men as chess pieces. And she got mad saying that's what you're thinking? I said yeah, now you know why I said nothing all those times. We got into an argument about me not being open with my thoughts and when she said I always tell you what I'm thinking I asked her how many times did I ask you? She never asked me again for the last four ears we were together.
I feel like this argument didn't need to happen but I understand how u 2 ended up exes
It took me a few times to truly understand the folly of asking a man what they’re thinking about, but the first time should have been lesson enough: when a guy responded, “I was just looking at my feet.”
The last date I went on the guy asked me the same question while we were driving.
"I was thinking about the rise in lumber prices and the different reasons for it." was not what he was expecting. I said a bunch more on my thoughts about lumber prices, but that's not worth repeating here.
We had passed a place that said they had lumber for sale.
My husband had been single for years before we married. A couple of months after our marriage I asked him why he decided to marry me. He said, to stop other women chasing him. Couldn't he have lied.
I asked Kaylan [what he was thinking about] the other day and he said ‘how to make the perfect beef Wellington’ and like honestly, mood
My husband, his best friend, and I were at a swimming pool a couple years ago. They were on the far side of the pool, and they waved me over. So I swam all the way over there thinking they were about to tell me something important. I said what's up? They could barely contain their laughter. And the best friend said "we're talking about poop." I about died laughing. Women need to have more of a sense of humor.
The other night, whilst lying in bed with my wife, she asked me what I was thinking at that very moment. I told her that I was thinking about what bulls**t I could make up, on the fly, if she were to ask me what I was thinking, at that very moment.
Back when my parents were dating, Mum asked my father this. His response? 'Pizza.' He thought she meant for dinner. ?
For me, it’d be random thoughts. Start on one subject, the train rolls over 2 or 3 others, while running through a few hypothetical scenarios. Usually banal stuff, and how the heck do I put that into words to follow the train when it’s nothing of import anyway? It’d take an hour to run through it all verbally, if I even remember it after ten minutes.
Ergo, “Nothing”

Getting ready to go out to San Francisco for New Year's, my then gf decided to let her 15 yr old daughter do her makeup. After more than an hour, she came out with a face full of unexpected makeup and asked me how she looked. Before I could stop and think I replied 'You look funny.'
We in fact did not go out that night after all.
A high chance it's something he doesn't want to share or hasn't quite processed yet. It could be anything imaginable.
"Dr said the spot on my arm was caught in time, but what if it hadn't? What have I accomplished?"
"The boss was looking at me kinda strangely, should I be worried about my job? Im too old to start over, no one will hire me."
"What happened to my little girl, she's always spending time with that BF of hers, we used to love watching TV together, but she always says she's busy. I miss her. But I don't want to annoy her."
And as a fun bonus, some men want you to ask/ insist on telling you what 'nothing' is. Others don't. We're complicated!
Sometimes I have that 1,000-yard stare and my wife asks me what I’m thinking about and the answer is that Craig Biggio got hit by 34 pitches in 1997. It’s very disappointing for her.
At my wedding reception, since I was known to be an excellent trumpet player, I was asked to play a song with the band. So after a number of songs I requested were not in the band’s repertoire, we settled on a beautiful McCartney song “Yesterday”….which was well received by all the guests. Even my wife told me that sounded very nice. Then I had an epiphany and said laughingly, “I think I committed a terrible faux pax just now” and she said “Why would you say that?” And I uttered the lyrics “Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks though as tho they’re here to stay. Oh I believe in yesterday. Suddenly, I’m not half the man I used to be. There’s a shadow hanging over me, Oh yesterday came suddenly.” And then she crossed her arms and grit her teeth together and pounded her foot into the floor. I learned to not share some amusing thoughts with the wife…….
My wife watched me staring at the TV and she asked what I'm thinking. My reply: "nothing," because I'm trying to enjoy watching a football game on TV.
My mom used to ask my dad questions like this, but eventually gave up when the answers were usually something like “Thinking about my car” or “Wondering why my car leaked oil today”.
She never minded it, because at least she never had to worry about him thinking about other women or running off with them. He’d just be out in the garage with his car.
So I was chilling with my bf in the living room, and I saw him staring into absolute nothingness and I was a bit concerned but I didn't quite pay attention.
Then I saw him do it again a few times over the week and when I asked him whether there was something he was thinking, he told me he was thinking about "nothing"
I didn't quite understand, how do you think of "nothing"?
It’s called enlightenment. The 9th level of enlightenment or Bakah Beelah.

My wife asked me the same and I replied that a person called me and told me my car warranty was running out. I don't know if it's the 02, the 03, or the 06. I didn't know that Toyota or Lincoln had over 20 years warranties.
My ex asked me once while out on a walk what I was thinking. Said "glad you are not coming hunting with us tomorrow. You are to noisy when you walk" she then asked are you saying I am heavy? Yeah the romance went out of the evening from that point on. Honesty is not the best policy. Trust me
There is a definite practice of walking quietly: how you land your foot, how you shift your weight, how you pick it up again without sliding it. It doesn't have anything to do with weight.
All men are the same and think of the same things, so he was definitely thinking that he needs to replace the radiator on his 2013 Hyundai Elantra, but he said "nothing" cause he didn't want to cause a concern.
The reason we say 'nothing' is because those thoughts are like white noise dancing around in our heads until instantly forgotten when interrupted :-)
There is lit nothing going on inside men’s heads. I asked my bf what he was thinking about while in the car and he said “making this left turn” they are truly one step above a single cell organism
That's right, he is driving and wants to make sure he makes the turn to avoid going out of his way. He won't be thinking about interpersonal relationships. Ever.
This is why it’s never men cutting across 4 lanes of traffic to make a left turn on a light that turned red already.

"One night a wife found her husband standing over their baby's crib. Silently she watched him. As he stood looking down at the sleeping infant, she saw on his face a mixture of emotions: disbelief, doubt, delight, amazement, enchantment, skepticism.

"It's amazing!" he replied. "I just can't see how anybody can make a crib like that and sell it for only $49.99.""

I'm a pretty honest and practical person. :) On the other hand, she knows I'll always talk straight, and she can trust me at my word. It's worked out pretty well for over 20 years, so I guess we're okay.
Direct and honest answers were one of the reasons I feel in love with my husband. The first meal I ever cooked for him (I love to cook) he loved it and told me so. The second meal, he said was "meh" "kinda one-note". Some people think it was way to soon for that and he shouldn't have said it. But to me it was a sign that I could trust him to tell me the truth and he trusted me to hear it.

I'm a pretty honest and practical person. :) On the other hand, she knows I'll always talk straight, and she can trust me at my word. It's worked out pretty well for over 20 years, so I guess we're okay.
Direct and honest answers were one of the reasons I feel in love with my husband. The first meal I ever cooked for him (I love to cook) he loved it and told me so. The second meal, he said was "meh" "kinda one-note". Some people think it was way to soon for that and he shouldn't have said it. But to me it was a sign that I could trust him to tell me the truth and he trusted me to hear it.
