Heard the phrase, “Men are from Mars, women are from Venus.” It rings true sometimes. We want to know, guys – what is super confusing about the opposite sex? Redditors chimed in with what they believed to be the most baffling behaviors from women that they couldn’t wrap their heads around.
Restaurant Ambiguity
“Why ‘what do you want to eat?’ is such a COMPLICATED QUESTION.”
Restaurant Ambiguity
Another user chimed in with: “Then you pick a place and they get mad because “it doesn’t sound good”.
Signals
“The fact that women really think that men will get their hints. We are horrible at this.”
Hints
“For every story you hear about an oblivious guy missing an obvious hint, there are ten more about a guy acting on a hint and being dead wrong about it.”
When They Don’t Know What They Want
“Women don’t know what they want, but they certainly know what they don’t want.”
When They Don’t Know What They Want
“I agree, women are hard to read sometimes and usually go along with things until it bothers them… they speak up and it’s too late, you messed up.”
Frenemies Stuff
“Their willingness to stay friends/socialize with people they actively don’t like.”
Frenemies Stuff
Another user agreed: “She’s expressed to me multiple times that she dislikes her for what she did. Wouldn’t you cut someone off for that behavior??”
Blowing Hot & Cold
“This girl that I’m head over heels for is so hot and cold. One weekend, we’re kissing, holding hands, cuddling, the whole nine yards. The next weekend, she’s distant and disinterested.”
Blowing Hot & Cold
“I get she’s stressed and confused at this point in her life, and I’m trying to be understanding, but it’s eating me alive.”
Overcommitted
“They spend an inordinate amount of time tending to and squandering energy on people at their own expense, then get resentful when other people aren’t compromising themselves in the same way.”
Overcommitted
“I mean… I sort of get it. Women are socialized like that. But in this day and age, they’re also aware of that fact, and must be aware that it isn’t serving them.”
Why They’re So Competitive With Each Other
“Why are you straight girls all so worried about what other girls think of you?”
Why They’re So Competitive With Each Other
“This kills me because no one is perfect. I don’t believe in perfection. So women kill themselves trying to be perfect for a fictitious Mr. perfect, who doesn’t exist.”
People-Pleasing
“Sacrificing things, so everyone has a positive view of them. Like, bending over backward to please people, I guess?”
People-Pleasing
“Of course, I do not see this with every girl, but I have seen it more in girls than in guys. It’s not particularly harmful, but it’s just like, “why do that to yourself?”.
Trashing Men
“Why they feel it’s okay to talk bad about our entire gender?”
Trashing Men
If I had a nickel every time I heard the phrase “boys are stupid” and didn’t say anything in response because I’ve put women on a pedestal of infallibility.”
Excessive Prattling
“Why *some* have to talk so much. Why can’t they just sit still and watch a movie or tv show without asking anything or saying anything….”
Excessive Prattling
Another user agreed: “Ah, I see you’ve been watching tv with my mother as well.”
Posterior Admiration Contradictions
“Why do you feel offended when we stare at your a**?
Posterior Admiration Contradictions
Sometimes I feel that girls want to flaunt their posteriors on purpose as if to show off, yet sometimes they’re so discreet about it. Drives me nuts.”
Social Media Relationship Rules
“How important social media is. I was once told if a guy likes a post of another girl when he’s in a relationship it means he likes that girl.”
Social Media Relationship Rules
“I often thought when I’m on instagram I just scroll and like because I know that person. I don’t use a like to indicate I’m necessarily into that person or anyone for that matter.”
Mind Games
And “not saying what they mean, but expecting you to be psychic.”
Mind Games
“Why does anything have to be a test? Granted, not every woman is like this, but I don’t want to be tested on everything. Let’s just be honest with each other.”
Weight Insecurity
The “do I look fat?” thing.
Weight Insecurity
“Their insecurity. One example is a lot of women think they’re fat. They could weigh 110 lbs, but still “need” to lose 5 or 10 lbs.”
Loss of Libido
“How they seem to get less sexual with me the more committed/serious I get about them.
Loss of Libido
Look, if you want me to commit to only intimacy for the next 50 years, you have to commit to keeping being intimate like you mean it, like you’ll lose me if you don’t.”
Horoscope Reliance
“Telling men you’re an Aquarius means nothing to them.”
Horoscope Reliance
“You know men (mostly) don’t believe in that right? So why bring it up?”
