We’ve all heard the saying ‘men are from Mars, and women are from Venus,’ but have you ever looked at your significant other and wondered if they are from an entirely different species? Are we more similar than we realise, or are they harbouring secrets that only other menfolk know about? Well…you may be just about to find out!

When men nod to men they don’t know, we nod our heads downwards.

When we nod to men we know… we nod our head upwards.

We don’t even realize this… it just happens. (J_hundert)

That a grown man will see a stick while walking and think, “Gee, that’s a nice stick.” (Mash_man710)

We’re pretty confident that we could survive as the last man on Earth. (RyanStNope)

When we do a big sigh, it is mostly because we forgot to breath for a brief moment. (Topito99)

We know you don’t ever ask us for much, but when you do you are always walking away and on the other side of the house. We can hear you say you want a nhrmhfda but we don’t know what a nhrmhfda is. (EDC-123)

Yes, it is entirely possible for us to hang out with a buddy all day and never once talk with them about anything serious. When you ask us, “How’s Dave? Is he still with Lisa?” We’re not saying we don’t know because we’re avoiding the question, we honestly never asked. We usually spend time talking about the old days and the dumbest stuff you could ever imagine. (I’s_Rather_B_Lurking)

We don’t remember exactly what happened on the second date, third date, etc. years later. We were just trying to keep from screwing it up each time.

Do I remember walking on Mars for our third date? Of course honey, how could I forget? It happened exactly how you just described it to me. (dixiedemocrat)

Unless you are over six feet, we’re actually one inch shorter than we say we are. (Skisokay)

We often think about the Roman Empire. More often than you would believe. (Professor_Bronze)

I think I speak for most men when I say that every once in a while, it’s nice to be the little spoon. (lwhitt)

No matter how many times we’ve seen them, we’re always going to try and get another peek. (Hopper13)

This is the most cliché answer but it’s too true:

Doesn’t matter how much effort women put into make-up and clothes, if a man finds a woman attractive, he will very likely find her as attractive without any of that (or he might even find her more attractive with casual clothes / PJs on a regular day). (Pathofblades)

We make our erect penis bounce by clenching our butthole. (anthro4ME)

We have a nothing box. The nothing box is impenetrable, and no other thoughts can get in there. We like the nothing box and will frequently jump into the nothing box at random. So when you see your man and he has a completely blank expression… we’re in the nothing box. So when you ask, “What are you thinking?” ..and we say “Nothing” it’s a genuine response.

It’s possible for us to have no thoughts..at all, whenever we want.

It’s GREAT! (Josuha_keegan)

We flush the toilet while peeing and then race the toilet to see if we can finish peeing before it finishes flushing. (RealBowsHaveRecurves)

We finished taking a shit 15 minutes ago….we’ve been on our phones relaxing and enjoying the peace (Far-State-2944)

We fucking love compliments. Try it and see how far it gets you because while we may call you lovely things we rarely get so much in return, and your words mean more than you’ll ever know. (ThreeRedStars)

You can talk shit about us to our face but in front of your friends / family builds resentment. (Solicitingforadvice)

Stealing this one from another redditor but it’s worth repeating here: sex is only 10% of the relationship till you’re not having it anymore, then it’s 90% of the relationship. (Ltimbo)

When you ask us to say hi to someone on your behalf, we don’t. (Banditofbingofame)

So there you have it! The answers to all your questions!!!
