It is no secret that despite our similarities, men and women also have quite a few differences. While essentially, we are very much alike, it is how we go about daily tasks that separate us the most, and one can rarely learn about the opposite gender’s habits without being close to someone representing them.
Sharing these revelations is always fun. That’s why when someone asked people online to share what habits of girls they learned only after getting a girlfriend or a wife, netizens were eager to pitch in the answers and join the discussion. Scroll down to see what they said!

Just a cute little show I noticed after we were married. My wife holds her breath when she applies mascara.

Just got married and surprised with....
How messy she is but clean - takes showers every day
How everyday she makes coffee with 80% creamer only to drink 1/3 of it and forget about it
How often she gets close to dying with small accidents like bumping her head or knee or stuff like that
How often she farts
HOW MESSY HER MAKEUP AREA IS. My garage with tons of tools and stuff is so neatly organized. Like how???
How she is a wreckless speed demon w her 2010 toyota rav4 playing songs she knows 100% of the lyrics to
Yup, but still love her for her. Wouldn't change it...well, besides the driving habits, we're working on that.

I always thought, " I can't that night, I'm washing my hair" was a really lazy excuse some women used to get out of unimportant things (by the way, I think the media is partially to blame about this because the trope does seem to imply it's an excuse a la 'the dog ate my homework'). But after living with my wife, I realize that "washing my hair" is truly close to a 2 hour+ event that needs to be scheduled around for some. Although the hair washing and drying is long enough, "washing my hair" also means running through a full beauty routine - for my wife at least.
I grew up with women in my family, but their schedule didn't impact mine often, so I guess I never paid attention to the length of their routine.

How much work going to bed is, and how sometimes staying up later to avoid it is a reasonable alternative.

Make up, as a little bloke never really saw my Mum putting it on, she’d be up and ready to go to work before I got up. Sure I’d see her do touch ups etc.
First SO I lived with, watching her put it on fascinated me. When she went full in for an event though I lost track of time!

They plan things way more than I do, and much further out as well. I have no clue what tomorrow will bring, but my wife has the next 5+ years of our life together planned out.

The bathroom drain has to be cleaned daily due to the amount of hair.

That skincare was such a big deal.
I think before I met my wife, I used to just use soap on my face, which almost gave her an aneurysm.
Meanwhile, she is using about 5000 products in the morning and night on her face (snail something was the strangest one).
After 7 years together she managed to get me using cleanser and moisturiser. I still can't tell the difference.

3 foot tall piles of clothes on the ground I’d assume are dirty but apparently they’re not? But at the same time some are dirty? I guess? Idfk.

You find make up and hair related s**t all over the place. When you try and clean you don't know where half their s**t goes.

Stuff, so much stuff, and we have to move it **all** every time we move, and when you get rid of stuff, **HERE COMES MORE STUFF**.
