19 Things Men Think But Don’t Share With Women

Men and women have a lot in common and at the same time many differences. These days, when gender psychology and relationship coaching are as popular as ever, it seems like we should understand each other better than ever before. However, women remain a mystery to men, and vice versa.

The female half of awesome.club asked men to lift the veil of their secret thoughts and share the most interesting ideas about women.

We understand women much less than we would like to. But much more than they think.

In fact, we love compliments, we especially remember what they say about our appearance. For example, many men, after hearing a compliment about their beard, will keep it for a long time. © 01123581321AhFuckIt / reddit

Beauty is a purely subjective perception of value. Therefore, every man has his own standards of feminine beauty, just like women. It’s nice to see a 90/60/90 model, but that doesn’t mean any man prefers this type.

Many men find women with curves attractive. So stop torturing yourself unmeasured by following any standard of beauty.

We also suffer from attacks of depression and anxiety, but they are unlikely to know. We don’t like to talk about these issues, and if you try to figure something out or even help, you’ll likely find that we’ll vehemently deny that we’re suffering. If a man wants to share his concerns with you, then he will definitely tell you about them. Please don’t impose your help. © jamestar1122 / reddit

We notice the little flaws in your appearance or when you look a little sloppy. But if we really like you or love you, then we don’t care.

In general, we don’t really care how you dress. We imagine that most women worry about what and how to wear not for men, but for other women.

We really appreciate you throwing things at us, not just handing them over to us. Yes, we like to test our reaction speed and agility. And when we catch something in the air, we think, “Oh, I’m the man!” © andytheg / reddit

There are more than 3 billion women in the world. And among them there are more beautiful and desirable men than intelligent and successful men. We remember this when they demand a lot from us and there is no reciprocity.

We value natural beauty more. And even if they want to hide some “blemishes” with the help of cosmetics, we prefer that they let their freckles or scars show, it’s better than always having a femme fatale look.

Sometimes we want to be quiet, and for them to be too. There are some opportunities where we get tired when they have too many thoughts and ideas, and they definitely want to share them with us, especially after a hard day’s work.

We also love to gossip. About women, of course!

Normally, we don’t really care where we eat. The main thing is that it is tasty and the prices are normal. Please don’t torment us with this choice, you’d better decide for yourself. © Rabidrabitz / reddit

A man in a relationship will never tell his wife that it’s time to change something, lose weight, or that the soup didn’t taste good. “No, my dear, everything is beautiful, you are as wonderful, young and thin as ten years ago and before two children.”

Men want more initiative on their part. No exaggeration, of course. Since we’re not telepaths yet and we don’t know exactly what they’re going to want at one time or another. Instead of guessing and tormenting ourselves with these questions, we want to hear a more or less clear answer.

Men have a “box” in their heads, “what” they think about. It’s called an “empty box”. In general, we love to put everything in these boxes: family goes into one, work into another, hobby into the third, and so on. And when you ask your husband/boyfriend what he’s thinking, and he hears nothing in response, then he’s extremely likely to be telling the truth. © AmericanPixel / reddit

Men don’t want you to limit their freedom. Personal space is an important issue for women and men.

Men want a woman to ask them for advice. We all like it when they consult us, they take our opinion into account. Consult your husband/boyfriend more often and you will see how this will strengthen your union. But don’t go overboard by asking what lipstick you should choose or what scent of candles you like best.

Men sometimes also need support, which we don’t have to realize so our ego isn’t affected. Yes, we are very concerned if something goes wrong or if we are incompetent. But we will never admit it to you. Even if we know the woman was right. For us, recognizing our own mistake is death. So if we admit that we were wrong, this is the highest degree of confidence.

If a woman loves her man, she likes the scent of her partner’s body. Therefore, we often like to borrow her shirts and sweaters, which have her scent. Well, also for being comfortable, of course.

Women need emotions. We depend on them, so if our chosen one is too silent or pays little attention to us, we try to compensate for the lack of emotion by talking to friends. Also, we love to go somewhere, to the cinema, to the theater, to the bar, to the exhibition, or even hitchhiking. We need more emotions and impressions!

We love to express ourselves with innuendo, not because we’re all mysterious. But because we want to make sure we’re interesting to our men. They know a lot about our tastes and preferences. If a woman says in the middle of a conversation that she loves daisies, her husband/boyfriend will sometimes give her these flowers, not roses or tulips. This will mean to the woman that he not only listens to her but also pays attention and is important to make her happy.

We often perceive him as a child. You can act very risky or, in our opinion, be confused, irresponsible, not behaving like an adult. But we accept and understand your childish actions, because sometimes we want to behave like girls too. And we really want that, in these moments, we are not accompanied by children, but by men.

Although we are different and sometimes it is difficult to understand each other, we complement each other. And sometimes, for mutual understanding, we just need to listen and pay attention. And what would you add to these lists of revelations?
