15 Hilarious Things Men Find Difficult To Explain To Women

The opposite sexes are not called the opposite without reason. Sometimes we are so different that it’s hard to believe we even belong to the same species.

And we are not talking about physical differences—they are very lovely and enjoyable. We are talking about entirely different mindsets, which makes it very hard for us to understand each other.

Someone asked men on r/AskReddit to share things that are hardest to explain to a woman, and the replies came pouring in. We have selected some of the best, and we know you will find them amusing. Take a look; maybe you will find something useful.

1. Instinct...

"If I’m on a hike and see a good-looking stick, I must pick it up."

2. The blank stare

"If I'm in a group and am staring at you intently, I probably just spaced out, and my eyes defaulted to your position for some reason."

– Chopawamsic

3. Hard to explain…

"The mystery of how a d*ck works and feels."

5. Ignorance is bliss.

"Why I don’t know what the heck my best friend is up to in life, even after hanging out with him all day."

– mrmadlad90

7. Post nut clarity

"Post nut clarity is real, and it ruins lives.

Edit: the clarity afterward doesn’t ruin lives; it’s the fog beforehand that ruins lives because after nutting, you realize how badly you’ve messed up."

– Good-Christian-Man

8. Doing stupid stuff is what being a man is all about.

"That we enjoy doing stupid sh*t like cooking with a chainsaw, using the afterburners of an F-18, or using friends as ratchet straps."

9. Compromise. And I want the Star Wars lamp too.

"Compromise is a two-way street.

If you want those pink pastel bedsheets and pink pastel walls, I’m getting the Star Wars lamp."

– RayDeaver

10. The famous "nothing box"

"I can literally be sitting there and think about nothing. When she asks what I am thinking about, I say nothing. But she doesn’t believe me. In a guy’s brain, there is a “nothing” box."

– TurdNuggetts

11. A question as old as time.

"So what do you want to eat?"

– BbysArntDWasherSafe

12. How could you explain?

"The double stream."

– KuhjaKnight

13. I am not going.

"No. I don’t want to see what that noise was. I’m as nervous as you are."

– GreatWhitePhark

14. Aiming doesn’t really help.

"Sure, I can aim, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to go that way. Stop thinking it’s super easy; it’s not. And God help me if I f*cking SNEEZE!"

– Nopefeelins

15. Both

"Either

a) That we too have feelings and need companionship, or

b) Why I have a boner at her grandma’s funeral."

– Get-Vectored

16. Happy ending.

"I had to tell my ex-wife that I had erectile dysfunction. I had gone to the doctor that day because we had complications while having sex for the last few months. I was extremely shocked to hear I had ED.

Now I’ll say this: for my wife, sex was one of the main reasons she was in the marriage. She had (and I’m sure she still does) a very high libido, and we would have sex upwards of three times a week. When I got back home, I told her I needed to speak with her about something. She asked, 'What was it?' And then I told her I had erectile dysfunction.

She then started to cry, and when I tried to comfort her, she got extremely pissed, slapped me, and yelled at me that she wanted a divorce. And so we went through with it. However, since then, I’ve gotten treatment, and I can still get a hard-on. Not only that, I am happily married once again with two children."

– Lootlem

17. No means no

"If I say 'nothing,' it usually means 'nothing important, at least nothing I want to spend ten minutes explaining why I was thinking of it to provide context.' This is because the follow-up question is inevitably 'Okay, why were you thinking of that?'

Well, dear, my thoughts are a continuous stream of consciousness rambling along by themselves with odd interjections of background noises, old memories, daydreams, past nightmares, and who the heck knows what else; and they just happened to be interrupted by you when I was wondering why cats' skin color patterns don’t match their hair color patterns."
