Although we all want to be treated the same, the fact is, men and women can feel like entirely different species from galaxies on opposite ends of the universe. Our parents sweat bullets when they sit us down to explain the birds and the bees, but they can’t cover everything about the opposite sex, so we’re left to figure the rest out on our own from whispers between friends, mortifying moments where we get it wrong, and finally moving in together. We’ve rummaged through subreddits to bring you some of the funniest things men admit they were shocked to learn about women and what was going in their heads before they had the answers. We’re talking about everything from anatomy and feelings to fashion and lifestyle quirks. Of course, there are ladies online who have gotten it hilariously wrong when it comes to the opposite gender, but today is all about the boys and the laugh-out-loud things they learned.

At Least Our Socks Match…Most Of The Time
Unlike men who only wear one pair of undergarments, women typically wear two. We see bra and panty sets perfectly matched on models in advertisements and cute coordinates hanging from racks in the store, so for men, it might be common sense to think that the two always come together.

If you’re a bra-wearing woman, you know that we don’t always have the time or care to worry about whether our underwear matches, let alone search for a matching set. We might be out here rocking purple polka-dotted panties with a neon green zebra print bra, and the men would be none the wiser.
