It is no secret that despite our similarities, men and women also have quite a few differences. While essentially, we are very much alike, it is how we go about daily tasks that separate us the most, and one can rarely learn about the opposite gender’s habits without being close to someone representing them.

Sharing these revelations is always fun . That’s why when someone asked people online to share what habits of girls they learned only after getting a girlfriend or a wife, netizens were eager to pitch in the answers and join the discussion. Scroll down to see what they said!

She takes her bra off at the end of the day the same way I take my belt off my jeans when I get home. With the force of a thousand suns and a sigh of relief.

The squeezing and plucking thing, as in the compulsive need to squeeze black heads and tweeze rogue hairs. Sometimes, she will be scratching my back or scalp and I think hey this is wonderful, I wonder what I did to deserve this and then seemingly out of no where I feel like I’ve fell victim to the attack of 1000 fire ants. It doesn’t stop there, she watches videos of popping and squeezing blackheads on her phone as if the assault on my back, chest, face and arms wasn’t enough to feed her sick lust for squeezing, plucking and torture of my tormented body.

Belief: Women are tidy, organized, and keep everything clean. This belief was implanted in my head because whenever I was invited to a girlfriend’s home, it was always immaculate, and she fussed over every detail. Married: She’s my beautiful ADHAD disaster. Everything is everywhere and nowhere all at once, and can never find that thing that she just had her hand a few moments ago, but that’s ok because she just found a shiny state quarter in the laundry and is now looking up it’s potential collector’s value on Google. ### Update: Hindsight 20-20; thinking back when we were dating and all the times her home was reorganized perfectly before inviting me over to (reorganize her) perfectly, is nothing short of an astonishing amount of sheer will and determination. I should thank her for her hard work and dedication, then apologize for not noticing it sooner. I owe her a romantic dinner and a day at the spa. I love my beautiful disaster.

How much time and effort they spend curating style. The reason they call “shopping” a whole hobby is bc half the time they aren’t even buying anything. They’re spending hours just browsing (online or at a store) just concocting aesthetics in their heads and brainstorming new looks or ideas. Meanwhile I’ve been wearing the same 8 shirts and 8 pairs of pants for the last ten years.

Just got married and surprised with…. How messy she is but clean - takes showers every day How everyday she makes coffee with 80% creamer only to drink 1/3 of it and forget about it How often she gets close to dying with small accidents like bumping her head or knee or stuff like that How often she farts HOW MESSY HER MAKEUP AREA IS. My garage with tons of tools and stuff is so neatly organized. Like how??? How she is a wreckless speed demon w her 2010 toyota rav4 playing songs she knows 100% of the lyrics to Yup, but still love her for her. Wouldn’t change it…well, besides the driving habits, we’re working on that.

I always thought, " I can’t that night, I’m washing my hair" was a really lazy excuse some women used to get out of unimportant things (by the way, I think the media is partially to blame about this because the trope does seem to imply it’s an excuse a la ’the dog ate my homework’). But after living with my wife, I realize that “washing my hair” is truly close to a 2 hour+ event that needs to be scheduled around for some. Although the hair washing and drying is long enough, “washing my hair” also means running through a full beauty routine - for my wife at least. I grew up with women in my family, but their schedule didn’t impact mine often, so I guess I never paid attention to the length of their routine.

Make up, as a little bloke never really saw my Mum putting it on, she’d be up and ready to go to work before I got up. Sure I’d see her do touch ups etc. First SO I lived with, watching her put it on fascinated me. When she went full in for an event though I lost track of time!

That skincare was such a big deal. I think before I met my wife, I used to just use soap on my face, which almost gave her an aneurysm. Meanwhile, she is using about 5000 products in the morning and night on her face (snail something was the strangest one). After 7 years together she managed to get me using cleanser and moisturiser. I still can’t tell the difference.
