Men Share "Guy Secrets" Women Don't Know About

How do I look?

If you compliment my appearance I will probably remember forever. I still remember when a girl in college told me I look nice with my beard when I first grew it out. I've had a beard ever since... Reddit

Straight Talk....

Your chances of getting what you want out of us are infinitely higher if you tell us directly. DepressedBard

I can vouch for this. I was upset with my SO for not picking up what I thought were clear hints, when he responded frustrated with, "I DON'T UNDERSTAND HINTS JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT WOMAN!" He really helped me communicate better. I don't know why we grow up thinking we can't directly ask for things. Kris10tx

I'm Listening.... 

When people come crying to us, our first inclination is to fix the problem.

Since this is (often) not possible, lead with something along the lines of "Can I vent for a minute?" Or anything that signals to us this is just a time for active listening, rather than a problem solving session. realbadaccountant

Let me Breathe! 

When we want to be alone, it's not that we don't want to be around you, it's that we don't want to be around anyone for a bit. aestusveritas

I get this one way too well, I go through bouts where I just don't want to talk to anyone regardless of how close we are. Chimonakimi

Be You!

We don't care how popular (or unpopular) you are with other women. So it shouldn't factor into how you value yourself when dating. Mongo0se

Discuss he Weave!

We really do think your hair is good. It looked good before and after you got a hair cut. If looked good curly and it looked good straight. It looked good when you woke up and when you made it. As long as its shaped like the hair we gave girls on stick figures when we were 5 years old, we think it looks good. banjohusky95

Beauty is Subjective...

As an older man, we don't expect you to look like a supermodel as we age together. Yes, at times I do see you as I did 30 years ago and every wrinkle and flaw disappears. Yes, there are times I see every wrinkle and flaw, and know how you got every one of them. They are beautiful too. Duesizzle

Gotta Eat! 

Often times, we genuinely don't care where we go to eat because we're just hungry and want food. Any food. As long as you eat some too.

I'm glad someone liked my toilet comment enough to give me gold. i promise to use this responsibly. Rabidrabitz

Stand Up Straight....

If we tie down anything in the back of a pickup truck or trailer it's physically impossible for us not to stand back and say "that's not going anywhere." Johnchuk

This is shockingly accurate. Might even be accompanied by shaking the object a bit, and looking at your friend for confirmation that he also saw how much it's not going anywhere. Komfortable

Oh the Pee...

At the urinals we typically pee on soap bars, ice or plastic mats to reduce splash damage and smell. GuessImAUofTKidNow

Do you mean bar soap or a urinal cake? Because I've had the pleasure of never having to pee on soap or ice yet in my life. RaleighRedd

Just Ask... 

Guys also like to be walked up to and asked out. IAmMohit

My current girlfriend, soon to be fiancée, asked me out. We worked at the same company, and she just came up to me and said "hey justyburger, I think you and I should go get dinner tonight." I asked her who else was going, and she said "I think it'd be nice if it was just you and me." So yea, that was pretty cool. REDDIT

Aren't We All?

I'm secretly an emotional wreck, I just hide it. ShakaWTWF

:-(

Big hugs big fella. We have emotions too.

How ya doing buddy? spiegro

Show me the flaws...

As an older man, we don't expect you to look like a supermodel as we age together. Yes, at times I do see you as I did 30 years ago and every wrinkle and flaw disappears. Yes, there are times I see every wrinkle and flaw, and know how you got every one of them. They are beautiful too. Duesizzle

The Nothing Box! 

Men have a box that our minds go into. It's called the "Nothing Box."

So next time you ask a man what he's thinking about and he answers with "nothing." There is a good chance he's telling you the truth. AmericanPixel

I hurt too...

idk if other guys feel this too, but I'm always afraid of accidentally making women feel uncomfortable in my presence, for example when i happen to walk in the same direction as a woman in front of me for a while. And I'm not even interested in women in the first place. juicydaddy69

It's just flesh...

After a shower, we have no problem drying our balls and face with the same towel. Most of the time we try to dry the face first, then the sack. But sometimes we have to go back to the face. We just hope we use an uncontaminated part of the towel. prospecthummmer
