Top 10 Things Women Will Never Understand About Men

I am guilty of this. It's because there's a very long distance from the fridge to the recycling bin. It's 3 steps! 2 if you're lucky!

Unfortunately, this is not male-specific, as it tends to be a trait of the lazy person and not just men.

Especially milk cartons! Do you realize how frustrating this is? When you finish it, why not throw it away?!

Public polling has shown that women lose respect for a man when he shows weakness (not vulnerability but other forms of weakness), and what's weaker than being wrong? I'm afraid women can't have it both ways. You can't ask for Prince Charming or Superman but then not allow him to make human mistakes.

Then, when he does and has the strength to admit it, you hold it over our heads like a trophy of our weakness.

Yeah, you want to know why? Because every dang time I do admit I'm wrong, girls ALWAYS have to yell or make fun of me and put me down in some way, shape, or form! Do you think that I want to put up with that? I have two words: HECK NO! Maybe if you wouldn't rub my mistakes in my face, I would be more open to admitting my mistakes.

Women need it down, men need it up. Why don't women raise the toilet seat when they are done? How about some reciprocity? I'm not sure which is worse, the man who's too lazy to lower the seat, or the woman who's too oblivious to notice it's up before sitting down? Maybe he plans to use it again next and just wants to be efficient.

Seriously, they're strong and independent and don't need a man to put the toilet seat down for them!

We're just really lazy. I mean, putting a toilet seat down barely takes any effort, I guess.

This, I'm afraid, stems from the lack of milestones and rites of passage in our culture. Women have a defined and physical moment when they are considered "women." Men, no longer able to go on walkabout or the tribal hunt, lack a distinct "moment" when they transition from being a boy to a man within the tribe or culture. It's an unfortunate effect of the modernization of society.

What's left are males who no longer have a defined transition to adulthood or a suitable outlet for their testosterone. Hence, violent video games and role-playing take the place of the tribal hunt, beatings, and expeditions of our ancestral past.

Men, having external plumbing, will always have movement going on in that region. Just as all people scratch an itch, men have a specific region that may itch that women don't. Hence women think it's weird because they don't experience it.

Have a good ol' scratch around, don't care who's looking. Also, why do you zip up your fly in public after using the toilet?

I've seen countless girls adjust their bras in public.

Perhaps men are just being frugal or cheap, but I think this typically stems from the "weakness" argument. Remember when you were a kid and faked being ill so you could both stay home from school and get some TLC from your parents? Sometimes men want some attention and affection but feel they need to have an excuse to ask for it.

If they were REALLY sick or hurt as badly as they sometimes play it up, they'd be cutting in line in the Emergency Room.

Lol, that's true. A classmate was always like that. He was like a pervert, but he was a good and funny person. When he got ill, he would moan about being sick but would never go to the doctor, even after my reminders...such a stubborn person he was!

When we were young (babies), they were the answer to everything. Beyond that, in a puritanical society that over-sexualizes breasts and nipples, it's no wonder men have the reactions they do.

Ever wonder why women don't have the same reactions to men going topless? Perhaps it's because it isn't taboo, and you've all become used to it. In cultures and countries where the female breast isn't shunned as a sexual object, people walk around topless, and nobody (except visiting tourists) thinks twice about men and women going topless in public. Breasts are just anatomy.

I'm quite sure women don't understand men either. Plus, it's not like men are going to relate to the same things women do.

And you don't understand men. That's why this list was created. Neither gender can really relate to the struggles of the other.

What do you expect?! That men can read minds or something?! It's not like you understand men either!

As already stated, women can't multitask either. The studies that show women "multitask" better than men are misleading because what they actually studied is the ability to task-switch. The human brain cannot focus on multiple things with any real degree of efficiency. However, women do have the ability to switch from one task to another more seamlessly.

So while women may ask why men can't multitask, men are asking why women can't stick with a task until completion before starting something else.

According to science, nobody can really multitask since when you "multitask," you are actually paying attention to one action and not the other.

This isn't a trait inherent to men alone but more a sign of laziness. Tip: Never marry or date a man who hasn't lived by himself. I'm not talking about a college dorm or having roommates. I mean alone. Then his true traits rise to the forefront, and if he's messy alone, he'll be messy with women around.

When there's nobody to blame, he just might be cleaner than you'd expect.

Again! Not all men are like this. There are actually men who aren't lazy! I know it's so shocking!

Not true. When it's over with a girl, it's over for the rest of my life with that woman (in my case anyway). If I have a "moment of weakness," I prefer to talk to a confidant (which is always a girl) who is strictly a friend. If a man had sex with a woman, that same woman could never be his confidant because a confidant has to be a neutral friend.

Hey, mermaids are very rich, that's why I called my ex.
