Men always say they don’t “get” the female sex, but what specifically—besides our going to the restroom in groups—don’t they comprehend? We found out.

“Why, oh, why, can’t you create a single, central location for your hair ties and bobby pins?!? And why is there one on the handle of the microwave?” —Chris, 26

39 Gorgeous New Hair Ideas.

“Why are women so afraid of bugs but can regularly pour hot wax on their bodies and rip hair out by its roots?” —Justin, 22

“Girls and drama! My God, it’s like an episode of Dawson’s Creek! He said, she said…it goes on and on for years. Do you ever get over an argument?” —James, 28

“I am confused enough about why the onslaught of hormones every month, like clockwork, still takes me by surprise (the next day when she gets her period, I’m like, Oh! We got into a fight because she was hormonal!), but why does that fact take her by surprise? Shouldn’t she kind of realize it and be like, ‘Don’t listen to me—I’m hormonal’?” —Married Jake

8 Things Guys Say They Hate About Women but Secretly Love.

“I don’t get why getting married so soon is so important to most women. Is love not enough?” —Brian, 24

“Why all the shoes? Really, my sister has suitcases full of shoes that I’ve thrown aside more often than she’s even seen them. It boggles the mind!” —Mark, 25

“I don’t understand their attitudes! Everything is good for, like, the first three months, but after that, it’s a whole different ball game!” —Danny, 32

    THE ANSWER IS GOING TO BE QUITE A SURPRISE! GOD MADE US THAT WAY JUST LIKE GOD MADE MEN THE WAY THEY ARE. WE ARE TO COMPLIMENT ONE ANOTHER, ITS SO WE CAN BEST MAKE DECISIONS IN LIFE FOR OUR FAMILY. TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE, ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE IS A FEMALE AND THE OTHER IS A MALE. TWO OPINIONS, TWO IDEAS, TWO PERSEPTIVES, TWO PLANS, TWO PEOPLE HOPING, WISHING, ENCOURAGING, HELPING, BEING THERE....YES TWO!!!

    WHAT PART OF TWO DONT YOU UNDERSTAND? TRY~

    well..i leave my hair ties and pins everywhere becuase i often loose them and im very forgetful so i mmake sure i have one in every place imaginable so i can just whip one out instead of searching for one. not all girls love drama.i dont for one and i dont care to listen or get into others peoples little arguements anyway. but some girls just love to know everything about everybody and thats basically what drama is...who did what with who whos hooking up with and why would they ever!.men are even more confusing..women will tell u how there feeling inside but men just sit there and pretend lyk nothing is bothering them.

    Most women that LOVE drama will tell you that they dont want anyting to do with it. Its all a part of their drama. And most women that Iv known dont tell you the truth about what they are feeling, (just a bunch of little stuff that yes are a bother sometimes but grow up, your cryin over spilt milk). They expect you to just know the truth and fix it right then. Sorry not a mind reader, but I am a guy I will put up with all of it cause she is my LOVE!!!

    1. Bugs are repulsive (and hey some bite and that can cause a rash or worse) and we rip our hair out because of the pressure men put on us to do so, dumbass. Plus women have a higher tolerance for pain and we aren't afraid of it like so many men seem to be.

    2. I have no drama in my life (I'm a girl) and my life is pretty boring. I prefer to just get a long with people. I've seen guys be as dramatic as girls in their own ways. It really depends on the person.

    3. Hormones affect men and women and it's hard to come to terms with the fact that the way we feel and act can be caused by our bodies.

    4. Women want to get married soon? Women who have to finish school and work and pay off student loans? Or rich women who don't have to worry about those things first? Cause I'm the former and marriage is the furthest (and scariest) thing from my mind right now and I'm 23.

    5. Your sister must have money. Shoes cost a lot and I go a very long time without buying a new pair (except for sneakers but I stretch that out longer that I should). But I know it's hard to match shoes with certain outfits so i guess if I had the money I'd buy more shoes for that purpose, maybe.

    6. Maybe guys who think this are just attracted to the wrong type of girl.

    Not all women are like this. Just like how not all men are the same. These are just stereotypes.

    I love bugs, hate drama.. the hormone thing we cant help, but its not like we turn into satan. I do love shoes.. but just think of that as why some men have a hundred fishing rods or golf clubs.. its what we like!

    and obviously if a girl turns on you after three montsh.. shes not the right woman for you.. and i think she might be unstable.

    Hormones first, some women's are like clockwork and know when to be expected. Some are not like myself. every month is different. Case in point , about three days ago, I yelled at my husband on the phone for no good reason, I yelled at the dog for drooling on me, I yelled at me 3 yr old cause she was whining. MY own mother looked at me like I was crazy and said wtf. The next morning I awoke to horrible pain, a trip to the loo, and blood literally everywhere. AAHHHH, now I know why, then the rest of the day I was hypersensetive to the smell of my housu and scrubbed as many rooms as i could.

    So, in the end, Hormones make us crazy. Some women more than others. We dont do it on purpose, we dont want to hurt loved ones. Sometimes it just comes out. And sometimes everyone is grateful for the superclean bathroom.

    As for shoes, well it is a fetish, we love them. Just accept it and move on.

    Hair removal vs bugs. Getting rid of excess hair makes us feel good and sexy, which is a benefit for you guys when a girl feels sexy. so shut up and enjoy. Bugs make us feel icky and phobic, so shut up and kill em for us, you big strong male you.

    All of them are totally accurate, but #'s 9 & 11 hit right on everytime. Especially #9. It's a shame. I've been on the receiving end of this, and I have good friends who are women and I watch them crash and burn on this one all the time too, and they lament all the time the best guys, nicest guys, the ones they want so bad are taken. I can deal with the shoes and hair stuff, and I don't care if they like bugs or not.

    Men are men & women are women. We were created the way we are & should appreciate each other's differences, as they compliment each other.

    BRIAN, 24: It's because of love that a woman wants to marry a man. It is that symbol of love, that you are no longering looking for someone else, that she is the woman you want for the rest of your life. That is why some women ( at least the women I know) want to get married.

    MARK, 25: Why do men need sports memoribilia or some of the other things they collect? Some women collect shoes. I am one of those women. It makes us happy.

    1. I keep my hair ties wrapped around the door knobs so that they are readily available. My pantry door has an especially impressive collection because you don't want hair in your food, even your gf hair. The bobby pins on the refrigerator magnet are there in case someone unexpectedly shows up. You are lucky your girl takes pride in her appearance.

    2. I think this is folklore. I have never met a woman who was really afraid of bugs. My brother's a different story.

    3. No one can actually LIVE without drama. Men aren't exactly passive either... well, not the fun ones.

    4. Married Jake, you are such a smarto! Yes, 28 days until pms and counting! Like you, my husband caught on pretty early that pms was not debatable, it was coming whether he thought it was fair or not... so, HE learned to prepare. On day 27 clean the house, buy a small token of appreciation (chocolate), rent her favorite movie and run! I mean, take the kids (or dog) out for the evening... repeat until your out of danger.

    5. I don't know either. You're only 24 so don't give in =)

    6. Hey, when it comes to shoes you should mind your own beeswax.

    7. You don't get our attitudes? whatever..
