As the old saying goes, men and women are so different, it's like they're from two different planets. For women, men can seem like an enigma, until they actually start dating one. Despite all the information out there about sex and relationships, it's not until you're in a relationship with a guy that you really get to know their idiosyncrasies. Recently, a viral Reddit thread has been flooded with women sharing their discoveries about men after being in a relationship with them. After all, women are often portrayed as being more emotional and communicative, while men are seen as being more stoic and reserved. But as these women found out, the reality is often quite different.
One of the first things that stood out to these women was the male anatomy. Specifically, the penis. Some women were surprised to learn about "morning wood," a term used to describe waking up with an erection. As one woman, @kpie007, put it, "I had no idea that men just woke up with an erection until I started dating my first boyfriend." Others were shocked to see how much the size of a man's penis can change when it's hot or cold. "NRB's (no reason boners), like, they just happen? For no reason? Wild," said @Ocelotkitty.
But it wasn't just the penis that caught these women's attention. They were also fascinated by men's testes and how they physically move and change. As @Viking_gurrrrl wrote, "It's super fascinating to look at, you can also feel it. And the man can't control it." And let's not forget about the constant need for men to readjust their balls, as pointed out by @username00990.
Moving on from anatomy, some women were surprised by the level of communication among men. This includes not just romantic partners, but also fathers and male friends. As @Deanomatronix shared, "My mom calls to talk: 10 minutes. My dad calls for an update on my life: 53 seconds." Some women even found it amusing how short and to the point men can be in their communication, with one woman's cousin simply texting her, "We got engaged, best man?" and her responding with a simple "Yep!" leaving his wife baffled.
But when it comes to communication in a romantic relationship, one woman shared a more serious discovery. "When they ask you to leave them alone, they absolutely mean it," she said. It's important for women to understand that sometimes men need space and it's not a reflection of their feelings towards their partner.
Contrary to the stereotype of men being stoic and unemotional, these women found that men actually crave affection and physical touch. "Most of them are way into cuddling and having their heads rubbed," said @LilStabbyboo. Some women were surprised to learn that men can go months or even years without meaningful physical contact. As @abbeyfinch6 shared, "It's kinda sad but on the other hand you feel great being the one person in the world making them happy."
And let's not forget about compliments. While society often portrays women as being the ones who need compliments, these women were surprised to find that men also appreciate and even crave compliments. "They LOVE compliments and will hold onto them for years," shared one woman. Another woman, @classy_rachael, started making a conscious effort to compliment her partner and noticed how much it meant to him. "I love that guy," she said.
In the end, these women's experiences show that men are not as mysterious as they may seem. They have their quirks and their own unique ways of communicating and showing affection, but ultimately, they just want to be understood and appreciated like everyone else. And as these women discovered, being in a relationship with a man can be an eye-opening and fulfilling experience.
