Turns out, men's image of what women are like when nobody’s watching is often very far from the truth. Well, blame it on TV and social media, but the reality is often very different.
And how could one better learn about the little female quirks nobody knows about than actually living with them? “What's something you didn't realize that women did until you lived with them?”, someone asked on AskReddit, sparking more than 4k entertaining and honestly hilarious comments.
Scroll down through the most entertaining eureka moments from men who lived with women and had their understanding of the world challenged big time, and get ready to cringe. Are guys really that clueless, you may wonder?

Spend hours doing hair and make up and doesn't look all that different from when they started.
Also, don't ever say that . I learned the hard way .

I didnt realize women paid so much for bras until I got married and also ended up paying too much for bras as well.

When you date a girl and you come to her place, everything is always clean and organized, but once you live with her you learn that she is as much of a slob as you are.

That women have magically regenerating hair. Otherwise my girlfriend should be bald judging by the amount of hair she leaves around the apartment.

I never realized just how much blood comes out of a woman on her period until I walked in on a friend taking a shower...I honestly thought she was dying and bleeding out.

When it's time for her to go to bed, it's actually time for us to go to bed.

Women pee with a pressure hose.
I still get a little scared when I hear a girl have a good piss and it sounds like she's boring a hole through the toilet.

Take scalding hot showers. It's like the only use the cold knob has is to hold the body scrubber thing.

That decorative pillows are a thing. You carefully choose and purchase them just so you can spend the rest of your life pushing them out of the way, and occasionally cleaning them.

It took me a while to figure out that pads are stuck onto the panties as opposed to right on the vagina!

When I was growing up, my (single) mum would always tell me 'Make sure you put the toilet seat down, your future wife will thank me.'
Second year of uni, was in a house share with two guys (me and another), two girls. I was genuinely shocked that the girls didn't put the toilet seat down. (Okay, so it turns out that there is a difference between the 'seat' and the 'lid'.)
Still, I always put the seat lid down - apart from anything else, when you flush when you're wearing shorts, you realise just how much spray there is...

Different grades of tampons are for heavy or lighter flows, I could figure that.
But apparently wearing a super flow for a week instead of changing out for multiple lights is a good way to give yourself a bit of the ole toxic shock.

I was about 19 or 20 when I learned women wipe after they pee. It's not that it didn't make sense to me, I just never had a reason to even consider it as a thing. So I was quite dumbfounded when I saw it happen.
