Since we were little, we have always heard about what as a man or a woman we are supposed to do or how to act. And even now, years later, when we’re trying to break various stereotypes, there are things that we don’t know about another gender. Despite tons of different sources that might help us understand men and women better, Reddit user @u/0Timato0 asked men of Reddit “what was something you didn't know about women till you got with one?” The question that received 37.2k upvotes received thousands of answers that some people found useful and for others, it put a smile on their faces.
A lot of men online were shocked by how fast everything becomes covered in hair after starting dating a woman, revealing some of the places they find most of it. A Reddit user even suggested that people should check their office chair wheels as they might be covered in hair. Have you checked yours already? Some other interesting things that men were quick to notice included women’s ability “to withstand unbelievable temperatures” or that the buttons on their shirts as well as zippers on other clothing are on the other side.
Which one of these discoveries was the most interesting? Perhaps you have one too? Then don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments down below!

That most women's clothing doesn't have pockets, and they're very bitter about it

That it really /is/ the thought that counts. At least, with the right woman. A random candy bar when she was having a bad day often meant way more than a very nice meal/evening out.

That periods will hurt. I always thought it’s just the blood leakage and the discomfort & awkwardness associated with it but never knew that women get pain from it until i had my first relationship at 21. Really sad that they had to endure this every month. It’s kinda unfair that they had to go through this apart from 1000 other problems they face everyday.
Women’s anatomy is an endless mystery.

Their extremities are made of ice. They siphon heat and life during their slumber. They embrace you with their frozen limbs and steal your heat. They feed on us

No matter how many bras they own, there is ONLY ONE that is perfect and god forbid you somehow lose/ruin that ONE bra, she'll make John Wick look like a choir angel!

Tampons are super absorbant. She came home one day and the sink was full of saturated tampons because i was just amazed by how much water one can hold. I was chastised and sent immediately out to buy more. Totally worth it.

That when they complain it doesn't always mean they want you to fix it, or that they've come to a negative conclusion. It's just thinking out loud, in a way that most guys don't.

All my life if someone complained about a problem, my response was to think of and offer solutions. That‘s how you help and show you care. If I have a problem, I welcome ideas on how to fix it. Women don’t necessarily work the same way. There are times she just wants you to listen and not try to fix it. Replace “maybe don’t hang out with Karen,” with “Man, Karen sure can be a b***h sometimes.“

I thought maxi pads stuck to the skin I didn't realize they stick to your underwear. I thought you slapped it on like a p**sy sticker.

I realized how much a good woman can help bring the best out of you and help you believe in yourself. Blows my mind how much so many dudes just go for the hottest girl possible to make their trophy wife. A great woman is truly unmatched for so many reasons (not to say a great woman can’t be super hot, so don’t attack me for that)

Foreplay begins way before being in bed, maybe even with the first impression.

That breast milk comes out of multiple ducts on the nipple not just one.
The first time my wife showed us with our first child and little streams went all different directions…it was so weird and surprising
UPDATE: awesome my most upvoted post is this. Lol. And yes it’s kind of like a shower head but also one of those kids crazy sprinklers as it can go in any direction
And yes for all the people asking “us?” I meant me and my wife. I remember the moment when she said come look at this - I think she had just figured it out too - she expressed some manually and it shot out in about ten different tiny streams in ten very different directions. We laughed so hard

When they ask if you want to go to the grocery store, they really want you to go with.

That she will buy clothes for me and somehow finds it fun to do so. I haven’t been in a clothing store in years and this is awesome to me.
Edit: Thanks everyone! I had no idea this would be such a post. This has given me a great opportunity to remind my wife how awesome she is and how much I appreciate her.

How impervious to hot water they are! My wife’s shower seems permanently set at scalding.
Washing the dishes - scalding!
Bath water- scalding
No sexy time in the shower here, I value not melting my skin!
