The 10 Biggest Secrets Women Don’t Know About Men

10. Adult Entertainment Is Never Off The Table

A lot of women are uncomfortable with their man watching explicit adult entertainment. There’s the fear that a guy may be more attracted to an x-rated actress than his wife or girlfriend, that he may think that sex is really like it is in those videos, or that he may develop some kinky, unsavory tastes from what he watches.

9. They Always Like to Appear Financially Secure

Equality in all areas is still something that society is striving towards. However, some men just can’t help but feel troubled and inferior if their girlfriend or wife makes considerably more money than them. Even if you two bring in about the same amount of dough, if a man can’t manage his finances, he will go to great lengths to hide this information.

8. Men Hide Their Lack of Direction

Everyone has experience indecision before; switching a major a few times, trying out a job or two before settling on your current career. Men and women are both prone to the same indecision and confusion about their future – you’re just not likely to hear men talking about it.

7. Men Need To Be Reassured About Their Looks

Few things are better in life than when your better half compliments you in a sincere way. It boosts your confidence, lifts your spirits, and makes you feel like you can conquer the world. However, you have to make sure that the affection isn’t one-sided.

6. They Hate It When You Don’t Participate

Generally, courtship rules as old as time dictate that the man chases the woman, who is a prize to be won. Today, everyone still believes in this somewhat outdated ideal; the woman waits for the man to text and call first during the early dating stages, and even typically allows the man to plan most of those first outings.

5. Men Have Sexual Fantasies Too

Yes, a lot of men are just happy to be having regular sex with an attractive woman, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t more beneath the surface. Just as women have that perfect sex scenario that they would love to try out someday, guys do too.

4. Men Love Feeling Like Men

These days, when a man holds a door open for a woman, he could get one of two reactions. She may either thank him and go about her way or she may insist that she can handle it herself. While women are quite capable of opening their own doors (and pulling out their own seats, and fixing their own flat tire, and anything else), there’s still something in good old fashioned chivalry. As long as it doesn’t come with old fashioned sexism, of course.

3. They Need Their Space

Nothing is worse than two people who were independent with their own friends and hobbies when they were single discarding all of that after getting into a relationship. Whether you live with your love, you two see each other every day, or you’re long distance and can’t get together as often, you both need to have separate lives.

2. Yes, Men Think Women Talk Too Much

Do you ever have that feeling, when telling your boyfriend or husband about that funny one-liner your friend said last week or that crazy thing that happened at work yesterday, that he’s tuned out and just isn’t listening? It’s more than a feeling.

1. Men Really Do Check out Other Women

You’ve probably heard that just because you’re with someone doesn’t mean that others stop being attractive. Still, girlfriends often get mad at their boyfriends for checking out that other pretty woman at the restaurant/bar/grocery store/etc.
