The older we get, the more fascinated we become with our bodies and how much they change and evolve with each passing year.
Once we start taking human biology in high school and middle school, we become equally, if not more fascinated by the opposite sex, and the genetic differences and similarities.
Of course, the most interesting discoveries we make about genders different from our own are not always found in a textbook.
Sometimes the most fascinating things we learn about gender come from observations of our friends and loved ones.
That can often lead us to discover things that should have been obvious to us, and other times leave us shocked by what we were completely oblivious to.
Redditor zenithjonesxxx was eager to hear the most surprising discoveries people made about a gender different from their own, leading them to ask:

Everyone has an opinion on the real differences between men and women.
Even so, be it in their DNA, brain function, clothing sizes or habits, finding a key difference is futile.
As in one way or another, all people are unique.
