Most of us would probably like to be more open and honest with each other, but in real life, that’s often easier said than done. Online, though, people tend to be much more willing to say what’s actually on their mind.
So when one Redditor asked men what they’ve always wanted to tell women but never do, plenty of them were willing to share. Scroll down to read their answers and get a glimpse into their thoughts.

We sometimes feel totally clueless about how you think or feel. We want to get it right but we rarely admit when we’re lost in translation, because we don’t want to seem weak or dumb. And a lot of guys secretly want to hear you say you trust us. It’s weird how simple some of these things are, yet we bottle them up. If you want, I can give you a short list of like 5 more things that men always keep to themselves but are dying to say.

It is very difficult for us to get over someone when we truly fell in love.

Not speaking for all men here, but I love how much easier it is for me to get along with women than men. Also, women are freaking awesome, tough, and make the world go round, men are babies...
I'm sure these are unpopular opinions, but something I want to get off my chest.

Making yourself a martyr unnecessarily is not in any way helpful. We’ll just resent you for not trusting us enough to ease your burden. Let us help you instead of trying to win gold in the suffering Olympics.

I'm not following you; we happened to be going in the same direction. This is as awkward for me as it is for you. I'd love to get your attention and tell you I want to overtake so I can walk in front, but calling out is weird. Me speeding up to overtake with no announcement is also weird....rock and a hard place. Guess I'll wait and tie my already tied shoes or something.

She always told me to tell her if she ever sounded like her mother. That’s never going to happen. The telling her part.

Many men secretly wish they could express to women how much they long for emotional safety and true appreciation. They frequently experience silent pressure to be the "unshakable provider" while secretly yearning for a place where they can be vulnerable without fear of rejection.

That other girls also look good… just because we’re in a relationship doesn’t mean that other people stop being attractive.
It’s just important that you don’t stare or act on anything and just be respectful.

When you ask us to fix something and we do, please don't say "I could have done that."We know you could have. You asked us to. We did it. Just let it be a nice moment.

YOU CAN CHOOSE WHEREVER YOU WANT TO EAT
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO CHOOSE, WE CAN EAT WHEREVER I WANT TO EAT
YOU CAN'T CHOOSE TO DO NEITHER OF THESE.

The feeling of purpose they're love gives us, wanting to be there no matter how corny it sounds laying my life for you. The thoughts and memories good or bad fuel my everyday. You don't just give me the sense of belonging but the urge to fight. Even when I fail just merly the scent of you pushes me to get up and continue. To you I devote my life, my friend who's seen me at my lowest who's seen me bare with nothing to hide behind. I choose you. Even when upset, I'll choose you, my life, my purpose.

We’re often just as insecure as you. We’re just better at hiding it.

Stop bringing up up problems and anxieties just before we are about to go to sleep.
Happy to hear and listen throughout the day, but when my heads on the pillow, the lights are out, I’m in sleep mode, and I’m just gonna resent being tired the next day.
