It is entirely possible the two sexes will perpetually be at odds with each other and never really achieve a true understanding of each other. But that is no reason to absolutely give up, is it now?
Reddit, as many of you might know is a goldmine to look into the collective mind of society. Here are some posts on Reddit which might seem interesting.
1. Direct Communication
The best way to tell a guy about something that you want is by telling him outright. @DepressedBard
2. Popularity
Men do not care about your popularity or unpopularity among women. Letting it affect self-esteem in your relationship is pointless. @Mongo0se
3. Captain Underpants
Kicking underpants up in the air and catching them in the hand makes guys feel like legit ninjas. @Ur_Boi_SlippyD03
4. Compliments
A girl complimented a jacket about 5 years ago, which was stolen 2 years later. The compliment was the nicest thing ever, the guy said. @Aazadan
5. Alone Time
If a guy wants to be by themselves, it is all there is to it. There is no point overanalyzing it to derive that there is something wrong. @aestusveritas
6. Growing Old
Growing old is a part of life and it is inevitable. Guys do not need you to keep looking stunning eternally. Growing old together is what matters most. @Duesizzle
7. Dealing With Crying
The basic instinct of a guy is to solve a problem about which someone is crying. But females have pretty deep running reasons that cannot be fixed using quick solutions. So let the man know that it is moral support that you want. @realbadaccountant
8. Getting A Hint
Indirectly phrased things or even passive-aggressive things do not immediately click into a guy’s head. So it is best to tell him to shovel the driveway than to say you could’ve slipped and died. @K2000kidd
9. Dates
Spending quality time with his lover is of utmost importance. The place, going on dates or even the food is all secondary. @Rabidrabitz
10. Hair Compliments
Guys generally pay very little attention to your new hairdo, or how it is in general. So when there’s a compliment coming your way, you can be sure it is legit. @banjohusky95
11. Subtle Hints
A girl asked in case a guy wanted to shower since he fixed her car which he declined since the guy had no fresh clothes. Reading in between the lines isn’t something everyone is good at. @JohnnyMopper
12. Resting
The drive back home from work does not mean being well-rested and relaxed. Half an hour of no activity at all is what really relaxes guys; providing them with much-needed detachment from work.@frozenartic
13. Complimenting Other Guys
Men are generally very sensitive about their sexual orientation, and the off mention of being gay is apparently insulting. So finding men complimenting each other is rare, at most. Generic, small compliments light up people’s days. @konniekhan-126
14. Throwing Things
Throwing things to guys is a lot more fun for us than handing it. @andytheg
15. Playful Dog
A scratch behind the ears, throwing a ball, and generic dog habits somehow make men gleeful and happy. @literallyaspoon
16. Taking Interest
It feels amazing to be taken seriously even if it is about the littlest things. Even asking questions about a game is an amazing feeling. @BlueLantern84
17. Asking Out
Guys can also appreciate being asked out on dates. @IAmMohit
18. Dead Simple Invitation
Asking a guy out by simply stating is more than enough. It is really cool to be taken care of too. @Justyburger
19. Lost In Their Own World
Guys do not always pay attention even when they might be staring dead straight at you. They might be thinking about an alternate life riding dragons for all you know. @UVLsystem
20. Human Touch
American men at least could really benefit from human touch. Just a pat or a head scratch can really feel amazing; especially when a guy is fixated on a problem. @Thadota7717
21. Physical Affection
A hug from behind or just ahead pat can make a guy feel like bursting into tears. @GuaridoNicolas
22. Action Heroes
Saving the planet from impending doom is a fantasy perhaps every guy has had. Saving people, their families, boats, planes, and countless other things are just an everyday fleeting thought. @HeathenSoldier
23. Simple Misunderstandings
Guys engage in thinking ridiculous things which can also make us laugh from time to time. Usually, it’s something stupid that women would just scorn at, which makes guys not say it out loud. Men laughing to themselves might seem suspicious but it’s usually nothing to worry about. @pm_me_ur_rice_noodle
24. Anxiety
Talking about depression and/or anxiety just makes men irritated like big babies. @jamestar1122
25. Ask Directly
Bottling up feelings after getting frustrated is not the ideal thing in a relationship. If something needs to be changed, just say so. Always wanting the guy to figure something out is not very obvious. @Frazzman
26. Mental Health
Men are also prone to mental health issues. The problem is that patriarchy does not let them get as much acceptance and support as women. So do talk about it and make any guy feel at ease. It is a serious issue which needs more open discussion. @Iwaspromisedjetpacks
27. Nothing Box
Men can truly think about nothing. So if a man answers “Nothing” when you ask what he is thinking. It is more than likely that it’s the truth. @AmericanPixel
28. Double Standards
Dating double standards are ridiculous and should be stopped. No! Guys are not “supposed” to do something just because they are men; just like girls are not “supposed” to do things because they are women. A guy can ignore a girl he is not interested in just like a girl does. He is not obligated to text or call a girl to let her know. She can do the same. @ModernTenshi04
29. Social Pressure
Men have a huge social pressure to be unemotional, earn money, support others, and be strong. Achieving all this is an elephantine and scary task! Asking for help does not come very easily and this causes a lot of stress. @ImprovObsession
30. Spooning
A guy also likes to be the “smaller spoon”. He also appreciates it when his spouse or girl hugs him from the back while sleeping. @fire_biscuit
31. Meeting Halfway
If there is something you want, make an effort too! The guy is probably trying his best to not screw up. @Shermanator92
32. Eccentric Thoughts
It is absolutely possible that your man is wondering if the cat can be lifted by drones looking dead serious. @technocratic-nebula
