Ladies... Listen Up!
Men, women, gender fluid... we all have secrets to tell. When in the search for the love we will ALL play any game, choose any pawn. Bros put on a good facade of "I'm not hiding anything," but that's a secret as well. If only we could unleash our secrets, and just be honest. Gentlemen... you first.
Redditor u/mustafarangoon52 wanted the men out there to fess on a few things.... What are some "guy secrets" girls don't know about?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
I'm secretly an emotional wreck, I just hide it. ShakaWTWF
Big hugs big fella. We have emotions too.
How ya doing buddy? spiegro

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
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

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

With the plethora of dating apps these days, you'd think it would be easier to find the perfect someone, or just anyone who isn't a complete basket-case. How many times have you met the man or woman of you dreams until they blindsided you with something so insane that it had you sprinting for the door? It's enough to make you want to stay single and stay clear of the chaos and confusion of the dating world.
There's a huge difference between a nice guy and a "nice guy." Actual nice guys treat women with respect simply because they're human beings and all humans should be treated with respect unless they prove themselves to be terrible people. The "Nice Guy" is a whole other monster. "Nice guy" always has an ulterior motive. "Nice guy" isn't nice to women because they're human, he's nice because he wants something in return - and he often flips out in scary ways when he doesn't get it.
Reddit user mattdacoolcat shared an unfortunately all too familiar story of discrimination from their days as a restaurant host:
It's easy to get caught up in the negative. A quick glance at social media would have you believe all of humanity is at each other's throats, angry over a grocery line or losing a parking spot to someone. This isn't every day, and sometimes the best thing for your mental health is to look at the positive bits of humanity. Remind yourself we're capable of great things.
