"Showing up at a party where another guy is wearing the same shirt not only does NOT inspire fury & resentment but may be the start of a new friendship."
"Friendships based on activities instead of personal connection."
"This is so me. I have a drinking friend, a gaming friend, a sports friend and a music friend. None shall ever meet!"
"Leaving the house at the precise moment to arrive perfectly on time."
"My wife is the perfect example of the opposite of this. When she says she’s ready to leave that really means she’s ready to start the process of leaving and she has 8 or 10 things to do before she walks out the door."
"When we meet friends that we haven’t had a chance to hang out with in a while, we don’t talk about the big stuff because hanging out with the boys is supposed to be a break from the big stuff."
"99% of the time, we know exactly what we want to eat."
"Only sharing a problem if you are looking for an explicit solution."
"It seems more general that men seldom talk about their issues just to vent, which does seem to be how some miscommunication happens."
"I know my wife doesn’t want solutions but I can’t listen to the same issues again and again while she doesn’t do anything to resolve them. She hates when I offer solutions yet loves when they work."
"Sitting in silence.
What am I thinking about you ask?
Nothing."
"Going days/weeks/months/years without getting a compliment/hug from anyone."
"I had a random girl come up to me at a gas station and say “excuse me, but you are just so handsome”
I’m so unused to getting compliments that I just laughed nervously and said “thanks” before getting in my car and driving away."
"Having friends who you can spend an entire day helping work on a project and when you get home your wife will ask questions about what’s going on in the friends life and you have no idea but he’s still your friend and you both thought it was a good day."
"Living a minimalist lifestyle. I see these memes about “guys think it’s OK to live like this” showing bare walls and the barest of furnishings and realized that’s MY place. Women like to decorate and fill the empty spaces with junk like live/laugh/love signs on every wall whereas I think a futon and a computer desk and 75 inch big screen TV is a fully furnished living room."
"Speaking from personal experience as a man (36 years and counting) who struggles with emotional intelligence I’m going to say: needing to have things spelled out explicitly, especially when it comes to how another person is feeling.
That instinct that women seem to have, yeah not so much for men."
"This causes so many issues too, because women will typically assume the guy understands something when he has no idea and it just makes the situation worse"
"When you’re walking and there’s a woman walking in front of you so you intentionally slow down or speed up so it doesn’t seem like you’re following her."
"To me, I would say our ability to fight and then be good seconds later."
"That some of us don’t care about traveling at all and could be totally at peace taking care of ourselves in a cabin in the woods for the rest of our life without “experiencing the world”."
"Insulting your friends in front of them but praising them behind."
“I would never say this to his face, but he’s a wonderful person and a gifted artist.”
"Not needing a bag of any kind when leaving the house. Because everything important is already in your pockets.
Guys usually have a very short list of things they need to take with them, whereas women seem to take half the house, or have bags big enough to carry it!"
"Being treated like a criminal even though you’ve done nothing but exist."
"Grunting as a form of communication."
