Why do all men jerk in their sleep ? ? ?
1.“Men communicate better without one-on-one eye contact; they open up more when side-by-side doing an activity like driving, fishing, playing pool, video games, sitting by a campfire, etc. Face-to-face/direct eye contact (especially between men) can be psychologically or subconsciously interpreted as a confrontation. Women are more tactile with each other and will look at each other in the eyes; read facial reactions, body language, etc.”

2.“They can be more sensitive than women.”

" There ’s such a figure of speech about ' hormonal , emotional womanhood , ' but it ignores that testosterone is a hormone and choler is an emotion . "

" My high school biological science teacher used to say , ' Yeah , what take place to charwoman during their periods happens to men day by day . ' I act upon in trades , and rely me when I say valet de chambre are more emotional and also do n’t have a go at it how to deal with emotions . "

3.“They’re actually so soft when they feel safe. Once that armor comes down? Affectionate, goofy, sometimes clingy little golden retrievers. 10/10 would snuggle again.”

4.Relatedly…“How touch-starved some of them are. My husband of 20 years still almost purrs when you cuddle him.”

" Whilst they are normally stoic whilst walking about , at household , they sprain into precious nestle bunny . cuddle in bed , in the kitchen , even when it ’s an impractical area ( like a small gaming seat , they ’ll see a path ) . "

5.“They don’t make small talk with their friends. Let’s say my husband visits his buddy Johnny. He comes home and I ask, ‘So how’s Johnny doing? Is he still working at the factory?’ ‘I don’t know.’ ‘How are he and his wife liking the new house?’ ‘I don’t know, I didn’t ask.’ ‘Did his surgery on his hand last month go well?’ ‘Didn’t come up.’ It’s like they jump into talking about music, hobbies, etc., with no prelude! It’s mind-boggling to me, I wouldn’t know how to cold open like that.”

" When someone vents to them about something , serviceman do n’t expect for the point ; they just go , ' Aw valet , that ’s tough , oh , btw wanna do something together to deflect urself from that tough situation ? ' "

6.On that note…“They will sit on the juiciest piece of gossip, but when you ask for details, they know NOTHING. What do you mean you didn’t ask every single little detail?!”

7.“How on edge and observant they are when you go out with them. I didn’t know how silently aware and consistently being protective of the women they are surrounded with.”
— u / Limp - Twist4626
8.“A lot of them were never taught basic body care. Like face washing, flossing, cleaning their bodies completely (not going to be graphic, but you can imagine), and using lotion. I dated a guy who complained constantly about being itchy, so I started putting lotion on him after his showers, and he genuinely didn’t know dry skin was the cause of the discomfort or the purpose of lotion. He thought it just smelled good.”
— u / KingAxel03
" My husband was plain that I was popping too many pimples on his face , so I start up him on my face routine , and he clear up so much in like three day that he does n’t even complain anymore when I hand him stuff to expend every night lol . "

9.To that point…“They really think a 26-in-1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash/face wash/dog wash/car wash/motor oil/laundry detergent is good.”

The 62736 - in - one shampoo and never getting acne after using a dirty towel on their fount is a real matter , and it baffles me . "
10.“That at least some of them actually like the manly side of gender role stuff. I always assumed my dad was just antiquated when he talked about how men love providing for women, feeling useful or needed, making them feel safe, that kind of thing. But no. I told my boyfriend I was thankful I could rely on him, and he was on cloud nine for the day. He keeps track of any reported crime in the area and insists on driving me home if anything squirrelly is up. He’s offered to change my oil??? I love it (and him)! But I wouldn’t have guessed that he would.”

" Validating their maleness , even in the tiniest room ( letting them hold the door for you , open a jounce , pour down a spider ) will make them feel like kings . "

11.“How strong they are. I knew men were stronger on average than women, but I didn’t really understand how big the gap was until I met my now husband.”
— u / Mean - Impress2103
" I fall from the bed , and my skinny swain , in a sleepyheaded trance , just take hold of me from the floor to the bed like I did n’t weigh anything at all . It ’s wild how they are given that much speciality , it ’s quite shivery . "
— u / Old_Influence8043
12.“How little they worry about their health. I’m over here, going to the doctor for every weird twinge or skin lesion, and then my husband over there was totally chill about not going to the doctor for the better part of a decade until I made him go.”
— u / Moal
" That no matter how demented or hurt they are , you have to push them to get them to the hospital .
' You should go to the ER ! '
' I ’m ok . '
' You almost passed out twice ! '
' You sound out it , ALMOST . '
' Your branch disassociate from the rest of your body , and there ’s enough profligate on the floor to do a blood sacrifice . '
' It ’s just a scratch … ' "
— uranium / BB shot - biboo
13.“Just how many men aren’t ok mentally and are lonely. As in, they have mental issues and either don’t talk about them much or don’t always seek help. It’s sad because I have my friends and family that I can always rely on and vent to. I hate how conditioned some men are to keep their emotions inside.”
— u / DryWerewolf7579
" Men need more excited and mental wellness support services available to them . Anecdotally , I ’ve noticed much more emotional availability and mental health knowledge from my friend than from his friends . ( Partly because I try it out . ) But the stigma around these matter for men is gentle to overlook and makes it harder for them to bed when to inquire for service . "
— u/0rangeTangerine
14.“That they think ‘pretty privilege’ is standard woman privilege. i.e., random people paying for your things, carrying stuff, getting invited everywhere, men just doing stuff for you, easier time dating, etc. I don’t know a single average woman who gets any of these.”
— Fast_Device8048
" This 100 % . I ’ve see so many men say this ; they do n’t realize only influencers , manakin , etc . , live this way . If they were magically plow into a woman , they would be so disappointed . "
— u / Prudent - You-1497
15.“That there is a huge societal pressure on men where their status and ‘readiness to be in a relationship’ is financial. I’ve never felt that type of pressure as a woman.”
— u / theniftyniffler
16.“They find it hard — often cripplingly — to ask for help, because they’re trying to take on the physical realities of life for others and it is vital to be at top competency, all the time. Noticing them, checking in on them, and doing things specifically for them helps. "
— u / PartySpend0317
" echo what ’s already been say , but dang , a lot of dandy would literally rather die than ask for help ( read : be perceived as weak ) . ' Asking for help ' include things like going to the doctor , catch therapy , asking for directions , and even glance at an instruction manual of arms . This is something I think we as a society need to get together to change — it would benefit us all . "
17.“That men don’t get complimented anywhere near enough, and the best thing you can do for him as a woman … is say out loud to him all the nice things you’re thinking about him. Because why not tell him he’s fucking great if he is fucking great?”
— u / hime-633
18.“That they feel things just as strongly as I do, but often don’t know how to handle or even identify those emotions. If you’ve never really been allowed to ‘feel your feelings,’ how can you even know what those feelings even are when they bubble up?”
" I really palpate for how many human race are evoke to be emotionally stunted and exclude off , and then are punished by their spouse for not being able to emotionally link . While I trust we merit emotional support and adulthood , I ca n’t really be distressed with people who were never allow to develop those things in the first spot . "
— u / salbrown
19.“Men are often quite lonely and have a much smaller friend group…and even then, they rarely have anyone close enough to open up emotionally with. This friend group also changes often due to life circumstances. They can also just make friends more easily out of interests or convenience. They’re probably closer to the guy they chat with playing video games than they are to friends, coworkers, and neighbors. Once they get into a committed relationship, their friends rarely hang or talk, dwindling down the number of connections to other men.”
20.“I grew up convinced I was so ugly, horrible, hairy, and stinky that my partner would need to vomit immediately after having sex with me. My first partner is now my husband. … I was surprised to learn how few of my ‘glaringly obvious’ flaws he even notices, let alone cares about. It took many more years to convince me that he is not fucking me ‘to be polite’ — he succinctly phrased it as ‘boners aren’t polite.'”
" I ’m sure he ’s not unique in this among man , being blissfully unaware and/or indifferent to the things we woman are often positive are atrocious . "
— uranium / wickedseraph
21.“I was surprised how much they love women. I like men, I love my husband, but my husband loves the female body in a different way than I love anything. And he isn’t the first man who made me realize this. It’s like another level of adoration.”
— u / libremaison
22.“How direct men are. It’s actually really refreshing, and it’s taught me to be more direct too. There are a billion sociological reasons why women (generally) are more beat-around-the-bush, but there’s no point in enumerating all of that. … I liked knowing that what my man was saying, he meant, and I didn’t have to read between the lines.”
— u / Altruistic - Day-6789
23.“Sometimes they really do just be thinking about nothing.”
— y / Decent_Criticism9772
" 95 % of the prison term if they say they ’re not think about anything , it really is nothing ( or vacuous shit that ’s too many in - prank layers deep to make any sensation to someone outside their encephalon ) . "
— u / IOwnAOnesie
24.“That they have the right to say NO in situations (when I grew up, I always saw men as saying yes to sexual preferences and being desperate about it). When I got in relationship, I learned not all men are desperately horny all the time; they have moods too.”
— uranium / fintechgeek20 - 07
" The first thing I get wind in my first human relationship was that my ma was wrong . She tell me all men will try out to have sex with you . My ex-wife said he was n’t ready to have sex because we were only 18 and he was frightened of possibly get me meaning . I was still religious , so that worked for me , too . "
— u / StrawbraryLiberry
25.Similarly…“Demisexual men are real! They do not consider you a sexual prospect unless they’re romantically interested in you first.”
26.“They’re all nerds about something. … I’ve never met a single man who doesn’t get excited by a lady recognising and responding to the obscure meme or media references they throw out. Bonus points if the reference isStar Warsor something else that is stereotypically associated with nerdy men.”
They all love LEGO . It might just be that I ’m date stamp a vast eccentric person , lol . "

" They will always wear out the clothes you grease one’s palms them , even if they protrude out by knock them . Give it a week , you ’ll walk into the kitchen and he ’ll be wearing that infernal t - shirt ; you ’ll both silently accept it and you ’ll be self-satisfied . "

" I noticed this three months ago . After being with my guy for nine years . Nine twelvemonth . The skin on them shifts like architectonic plates , wtf . "
— u / TheWuzzy
35.“They have a seam on their ballsack.”
— u / MichaSound
36.“This is what I’ve learned so far from dating: A man’s balls can glue onto his thigh randomly. Shrinkage is real, as the penis goes into hiding to protect itself from danger … A boner feels like having a thick branch hanging in the middle of your pants.”
37.“They like oval toilet seats rather than the round ones because their dicks get caught under the round ones.”
— u/272027
38.“Their dicks can get hard for absolutely no reason. I used to get insecure thinking they were thinking of other women until I asked my boyfriend, and he goes, ‘I’m not in the mood, I’m just waiting for it to go down before I go outside.'”
— uranium / DEMONSCRIBE
39.“Their balls and penis float when they are taking a bath; I never knew haha.”

— u / Repulsive_Zombie5129
41.Finally…“They love to have their hands in their pants. Any time and all the time. Just to touch it. Maybe scratch it. Hands are just always hanging out in there.”
