16 Astonishing Facts About Women That Most Men Are Unaware Of
How well do women really understand men? And how well do men understand women? If you grew up with a sister, you likely have an edge over your friends, but there’s still much to learn. There are many things women experience or deal with regularly that most men aren’t aware of. Gaining this knowledge can help you understand the women in your life better, whether it’s your mother, sister, or partner. Here is what you probably don’t know about women.
Saucy Content
Yep, as it turns out, women have the same bedroom needs as men do. Men are not alone when it comes to the way they fantasize about smutty content and sultry content creators. In fact, some women could easily give men a run for their money when it comes to their habits.
Oh, and you better believe that something saucy in that bedside drawer might belong to her.
Late Night Snackage
Imagine the following scenario: it’s 3 AM. You wake up randomly and can’t help but think about how you want some chips. Or a burrito. Or some chocolate. Or those really tasty candies that look like bottle caps. You find yourself gravitating to the refrigerator.
Did you think this was just a guy thing? Nope. In fact, women might be more guilty of late-night binges than men are!
Body Hair Battle
A surprising number of men genuinely believe that women are hairless from the get-go. This isn’t true. Women spend a crazy amount of time trying to combat the steady growth of body hair every day, whether it’s their legs, arms, or even face! Shaving is a daily occurrence for many of us. Oh? And eyebrows? Don’t get us started on eyebrows; it always takes us ages, and they never turn out symmetrical!
Clothing Critique
ZZTop’s singer was right when he said that “every girl’s crazy ’bout a sharp-dressed man.” The opposite is also true. Women have no problem razzing on men who they think have bad fashion taste. If a woman likes you, she’ll try to give you fashion advice. If she’s sneaky, she might “lose” that sequin sweater you are oddly crazy about.
Wait until you hear women talk about men’s fashion over drinks together. The shade might make your jaw drop.
Resentment
Even in the healthiest of couples, there will be moments where you will see a female partner resent a male partner. Why? It’s simple. Women are very aware of the sheer amount of privilege men have in their day-to-day lives. It hurts seeing things that come so hard for women be handed to men on a silver platter.
Most women (thankfully) don’t let that resentment toward an entire gender color their relationships.
Fart
It’s true. Women poop, pee, fart, and have all the other body functions that a standard human being has. That’s not a surprise, realistically. What most men don’t realize is how gassy some girls can be. Just think of how bloated menstruation can make us feel! Oh, and they might also be shocked to hear that women have gross-out humor, too. Just blame it on the barking spiders. It’s easier that way.
Release The Twins!
Men don’t realize how uncomfortable bras really are. They aren’t just grippy. They dig into your skin and can be awfully hard to breathe in. That’s why the first thing a lot of women do when they get home is remove their bras so that they can let their girls breathe. It’s so much comfier! This is also why more and more women are going braless every day!
Listen, Don’t Solve
When men discuss a problem, the general consensus is that they are talking so that they can figure out a solution to their problem. Guys are often shocked to find out that women don’t do that. Rather, they tend to talk to one another in hopes of getting sympathy or just a place to vent.
A good tip for guys would be to ask a girl if she wants a solution or an ear. It helps quite a bit.
Unwanted Attention
Most men don’t realize how much-unwanted attention a typical woman gets until they live with them. It’s not just unwanted in many cases. The attention women receive can be aggressive, traumatizing, and even downright dangerous for them.
When men actually see it happen to women they love, they often rethink what they do when they’re single.
Arguing With Doctors
It’s hard to explain why women have to argue with doctors to a man who is always taken at face value by medical professionals. Men are often shocked to hear that women have to come up with arguments or phrases to help them get heard by medical professionals.
It’s alarming that so many doctors don’t listen to their patients. Realizing what an open secret this is is even wilder.
Overthinking
Men can generally clear their minds. They can sit with themselves in silence, thinking about absolutely nothing. Women generally don’t do that. If we’re very quiet, we’re either doing meditation to quell our minds, or we’re deep in thought about life. This is precisely why women ask men what they’re thinking about and check whether they are okay whenever they are silent for too long.
Rage Out
Most men also assume that women tend to cry out their anger instead of shout. Boy, are they going to see another side of their wives if they upset them too much! Women can be pushed to the limit just like men can, and when they do, they can shout as loud as a fire siren. Guys aren’t prepared to see a woman lose her temper. Thankfully, that’s usually a rare event.
Hours On The Phone
We all know that women are chatterboxes, but most men don’t realize how much women love to talk until they go live with one. Unlike men, most girls love talking with their best friends on the phone. This tendency may have slightly changed with smartphones, but most women who grew up without these tools haven’t lost this habit and may spend hours on their phones.
Messy Rooms
Contrary to common beliefs, plenty of women can be extremely messy. Somehow, we tend to associate this bad habit only with guys, but the truth is that several women are chronic accumulators, meaning that their rooms are full of useless objects. From hundreds of different makeup products to clothes that don’t fit anymore, plenty of women need to seriously declutter their spaces.
Hormones Rollercoaster
We all know that women experience huge hormonal changes every month. However, most men don’t realize how much these can impact their lives until they spend lots of time with a woman. Yes, sometimes we cry for reasons that are totally unknown to us; others, we feel stressed even though there is nothing there to stress us! But this is just the beginning. Hormones can affect all aspects of our lives, such as our training sessions, libido, and so on.
Talking About Everything
Unlike men, who often discuss superficial topics with their friends, women often talk about their deepest fears, concerns, and goals with their best friends. Of course, this is not the case for everyone, but if you know two best friends who have known each other since childhood, chances are there are no secrets between them. If you are dating one of the two, the other probably knows everything about you!
