While it might seem that some beliefs of how women or men should behave have become less strict, or at least it would be nice to believe that as more and more people understand that various activities, jobs, hobbies, etc. aren’t just for men or women, sometimes these two genders tend to “surprise” each other with their behavior tendencies. Have you ever found yourself looking at someone while they do something weird and wondering what on earth is going on? Reddit user @u/Careful_Ride3205 decided to ask men online “What is something us women do that baffles you?” The question that received more than 23k upvotes revealed some funny, interesting, and perhaps unexpected answers.
Some males revealed that sometimes they get annoyed when their female partners tell them something important when they can’t actually hear them, and that they have too many pillows for decoration. Others shared some funny things, such as women having a habit of dressing fashionably but being uncomfortable for the whole evening, or deciding to clean something they never cared about a few hours before a trip. Men on Reddit also gave some already-heard examples of women bathing in either boiling or freezing water or being mad at them because they did something bad in their dream.

Asking me to do something and then proceed to follow me around and micromanage. If you knew how to do it, why didn’t you just do it

Take whatever time you need to get ready whether it be 30 minutes or 3 hours, then rush us when we're about to leave to put our shoes on

When I don't understand something my wife says and I ask her to elaborate, she keeps repeating the same sentence over and over expecting me to understand it rather than explaining it.
I don't understand why...

Try to trick us into talking about all women as if they are a homogeneous group.

Assume that men are mind readers and get mad when we’re not.
Wow, that took off. Hope I didn’t p**s anyone off, I know men do it too.
Thanks everyone for the upvotes and comments!

Acting like you're best friends with someone you hate. It doesn't baffle me (I understand the importance of saving face and keeping people on side) but I do find it quite disingenuous and contemptible.

Flirting with me “for fun” when she’s already seeing someone else.
Edit: Men definitely do this too. This isn’t a scathing critique of women.
Plenty of people of *all* gender identities can misinterpret friendliness as flirting— it’s natural to want to be worthy of romantic attention.
I’ve also probably unknowingly “flirted” with women and gave off the wrong vibe plenty of times. Multiple truths can in fact exist in the same reality.

what are all the bottles of stuff in the bathroom and all around the shower? why do you need 300 different potions to clean yourself?

Being seemingly oblivious to how many men are actually hitting on you and/or would be willing to sleep with you if you asked. No, Katy, that sweet dude who messages you every evening despite knowing you are in a relationship is not just being a cool friend. He's biding his time and testing the waters.
