A recent online discussion in an online men’s forum proved interesting. Someone asked: “What are you curious about with women but too afraid to ask?” Here are their honest confessions.
1. Why Don’t You Tell Us?
One man wonders why women will run and give explicit details about how they’ve not satisfied them, but they won’t be honest and tell the man they had the issue with.
2. Why Do You Cover All Flat Surfaces?
Countless men wonder why so many women must cover all flat surfaces in the home with trinkets and knick-knacks. A woman lets the cat out of the bag by responding, “We’re secretly cats.”
3. Why Are You Hoodie Thieves?
What is it about wearing your man’s hoodie that feels so good? It’s a universal truth that women steal their man’s hoodies. Several men in the forum want to know why. I love my man’s because it smells like him, so I bet that’s true for many.
4. Why Do You Drop Hints?
Several men agree with one who asks, “Why do you use so many hints? Why can’t you be direct and tell me what you want?” A few women have been called bossy or aggressive rather than assertive and direct.
5. Why Do You Wear High Heels?
“Do y’all ever wear heels just to hear the clip-clopping of them on the pavement like you’re the main character in a movie?” A man confesses he would do it if he wore heels, and he desires to know if there’s a woman out there whose brain is on his wavelength or if this is just him.
Multiple women confessed to loving the sound and feeling empowered by it on marbled floors in silent buildings. “The echoes are incredible.”
6. Why Do You Build Pillow Nests?
“What’s with all the pillows?” Numerous men proclaim their confusion by women’s obsessions with mountains of pillows on beds, couches, and chairs. After a woman explains the comfort of pillow nests, a man confirms that they are 100% accurate about the relief it provides on hips, backs, and shoulders.
7. Do You Like Being Approached for Dates?
Do women like being approached and asked out on dates? Differing answers filled the thread. Obviously, no one is a monolith for all women or men.
While a couple of women admit they do not like being approached, most in this thread said they do, but only if you’re straightforward and say date. Too many times, women agreed to get coffee or see a film and didn’t realize it was supposed to be a date until they were on it. So “say date.”
8. Why Are You Food Thieves?
One asks why women insist on stealing food. They’re notorious fry snatchers, and it’s the forum’s consensus that men have no issue buying women their own fries. Unfortunately, they insist on not wanting anything but eating all their food.
9. Why Don’t You Know What You Want to Eat?
Another food dilemma is the never-ending battle of what women want to eat and the conversations it entails that are heavily discussed in the forum. However, a few couples offer insight.
One suggests you ask her to guess what you’re ordering and then say yes to whatever she guesses. Another says they alternate between giving three options and allowing the other to choose.
10. What Is Up With Your Monthly Visitor?
I love the number of men in the thread who are curious about how to help someone who’s having a terrible time during their period. A woman volunteers; the best thing is not to act disgusted, keep a bathroom trashcan and some Midol or Pamprin in the medicine chest. “Nothing is worse than being ashamed and having to hide when on a period because someone is disgusted by you.”
11. How Can I Present Myself?
“How can I present myself so that a woman would feel more comfortable approaching me?” A man suggests he doesn’t want to bother women by initiating a conversation. But he does want to appear approachable.
Numerous women explain that casual eye contact and smiling, noting that women will ignore you if uninterested. However, if she likes what she sees, she’ll smile back and maybe approach you for conversation.
12. Why Do You Say “I’m Fine” When You’re Not?
Why do women say they’re fine when they are not? This is a common question in the forum. While some women confess to not wanting to be perceived as overly dramatic or too emotional. Others admit that sometimes they know they are behaving irrationally and need a minute to process and calm down—additionally, the fear of being dismissed or ignored.
13. What Is Up With Your True Crime Obsession?
“What is with all of you and being obsessed with true crime?” A man explains not being an avid dater, but on almost every date they’ve been on when interests are discussed, “true crime is always lurking around the corner.” A couple of women admit they have zero interest in being creeped out by real-life murderers. However, most suggest their mothers passed their love for the true crime genre onto them.
14. How Do You Always Smell Good?
One man asks, “How do you smell good all the dang time? He elaborates that his lady can return from the gym, work in the garden, or any high-exertion activity, and never smells bad.”
15. Why Do You Go to the Bathroom in Groups?
Another man wonders why women travel in pairs and groups to the bathroom. Numerous women explain everything from being safe to helping each other with things like checking with each other and asking things like if we’re being too loud or have something in our teeth.

21 Addictions You Ignore Because Acknowledging Them Means You Have a Problem
As someone with a substance abuse disorder, overcoming it was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. People can be heartless and judgmental, and ignorant.
