Men of Reddit asked "what’s the most difficult thing to explain to women?” And guys must be pretty eager to share their responses as more than eight-thousand have come in so far.
The things they find challenging range from sentimental to sincere, with plenty of funny ones in the mix, too. Some of our favorite responses are:
- “It sure did take a while to explain to my ex that we don’t look at each other’s junk at the urinals”
- “I can’t tell if you’re flirting with me or not”
- “Sometimes we’re too shy to make the first move”
- “That many men only have meaningful physical contact with their S.O. … Most men I know won’t even feel comfortable hugging their best friend”
- “When I tell you I don’t need anything for Christmas it really means you should get me the 7541 piece Lego Millennium Falcon set”
- “Sometimes we just want a hug. Nothing more”
- “When you ask me what I'm thinking about, and I occasionally say "nothing" I’m literally staring off into the middle distance and spacing out. I’m not failing to share with you”
- “How two or more men can bond just by standing in a room in silence”
- “Just because I don't want to sleep with you, doesn't mean I don't love you or find you attractive”
- “Sometimes I want to be the little spoon! It feels good to have someone cuddle you”
- “Advanced calculus. I finding it very hard to explain due to the fact that I know nothing about it”
- “We have emotions too, we just show it differently”
- “That when you can’t decide between two outfits and you ask us we literally would be ok with you wearing a garbage bag if it means the process could be sped up and we don’t leave the house by midnight”
- “Shrinkage”
- “I don't always want to be the one that initiates sex. It makes me feel like a creep”
- “That they need to stop being so f-ing mean to themselves”
- “I genuinely don't care where we go for dinner”
