Turns out, men's image of what women are like when nobody’s watching is often very far from the truth. Well, blame it on TV and social media, but the reality is often very different.
And how could one better learn about the little female quirks nobody knows about than actually living with them? “What's something you didn't realize that women did until you lived with them?”, someone asked on AskReddit, sparking more than 4k entertaining and honestly hilarious comments.
Scroll down through the most entertaining eureka moments from men who lived with women and had their understanding of the world challenged big time, and get ready to cringe. Are guys really that clueless, you may wonder?

That women have magically regenerating hair. Otherwise my girlfriend should be bald judging by the amount of hair she leaves around the apartment.Image credits: _Ardhan_

Girls actually do that throw all your clothes on the bed thing that you see in sitcoms.Image credits: crunchevo2
#17
That decorative pillows are a thing. You carefully choose and purchase them just so you can spend the rest of your life pushing them out of the way, and occasionally cleaning them.Image credits: Renaissance_Slacker

Get angry with me for what I did in her dream.Image credits: dirtymoney
#19

#20
I didnt realize women paid so much for bras until I got married and also ended up paying too much for bras as well.Image credits: RedTexan04
#21
I was about 19 or 20 when I learned women wipe after they pee. It's not that it didn't make sense to me, I just never had a reason to even consider it as a thing. So I was quite dumbfounded when I saw it happen.Image credits: AshSnatchem
#22
When I first moved in with my girlfriend, I got yelled at for putting 'dirty' clothes with my clean ones. I was totally under the impression I could wear that shirt like two more times.Image credits: UnspoiledWalnut
#23
I get ready once, when i wake up. She gets ready anytime we leave the house, this includes a thorough check of every room. When she says "let's go to the store" we are still a good half hour away from leaving.#24
Women are always cold...always. I can be sweating in shorts and a T-shirt, but my S.O. will be wrapped in blankets still.#25
My girlfriends burps are far more powerful than mine. I beat her in farts however.#26
My wife will get upset with me about things she sees morons do in a movie.Some married guy is looking at/flirting with/cheating with some woman other than his wife in the movie, and my wife turns and says, "Now why on earth would he do that?!?" or "What the hell is he thinking?!"
uhm.... because it's in the script?

When I was growing up, my (single) mum would always tell me 'Make sure you put the toilet seat down, your future wife will thank me.'Second year of uni, was in a house share with two guys (me and another), two girls. I was genuinely shocked that the girls didn't put the toilet seat down. (Okay, so it turns out that there is a difference between the 'seat' and the 'lid'.)
Still, I always put the seat lid down - apart from anything else, when you flush when you're wearing shorts, you realise just how much spray there is...
#28
I was ready for ‘decorative pillows’. I was ready for wall art.I was NOT ready for bras everywhere the first time she did laundry after moving in.

#29
Different grades of tampons are for heavy or lighter flows, I could figure that.But apparently wearing a super flow for a week instead of changing out for multiple lights is a good way to give yourself a bit of the ole toxic shock.
#30
Maybe this is isolated, but how often she's in the bathroom for a pee. My mother and sister never had liquids run through them as quick as my fiance. Like, glass of water she has maybe an hour before needing to piss. It's tons of toilet paper and a bother on road trips.Our roommate was also shocked that men "pee so loudly". I'm over 6 feet tall, I stand to pee, how the hell do you think I should pee silently?
#31
In my 10 years living alone, I have never once needed to dump drano down any of my drains. They just never get clogged with the short hairs that go down the drains. I have to dump drano down the drain every 4 months or else I'll get a lake in the shower. And this also happens when I use those shower mushrooms in the drain to collect hair.#32
That my Sunday morning hangover after a big night out with the boys ( not a regular occurrence ) absolutely meant that the vacuuming had to be done throughout the house then and only then.#33
My wife poops 3 times a day and it only take like 30 sec! I poop once a day and it take a good 10 mins if not longer.#34
Take scalding hot showers. It's like the only use the cold knob has is to hold the body scrubber thing.#35
Take massive poop with nuclear fallout levels.Like, obviously I knew women poop. But deep down, I guess I never realized it was just as bad as men’s poop.
#36
I heard the rumors, but I still wasn't prepared for...A. the hair pins/hair ties everywhere.
B. my bathroom filling up with more niche (and unreasonably expensive) hair and skin care products on every available surface. I have bar soap, and a thing of shampoo. My last to partners both had at least 20-30 different bottles of product.
C. my hobbies becoming sins, that if I partook of, meant days, if not weeks of random bullshit arguments over tiny little things.
#37
Women: Clothes/shoe hording. The amount of clothes they have but will never wear and will never get rid of, but will come back around and tell the dude that he has too much stuff.Dahell?
#38
That her hair brush, hair dryer, hair straightener, ect all have to stay on the counter 24/7 despite enot even being used every day.#39
Cotton balls. Where do they come from? what are they used for? why are they all over the bathroom floor?these are the questions I ponder when I'm taking a dump.
#40
If anything they blast farts with greater intensity, volume and toxicity than us menfolk.#41
I swear my ex was so messy that her bathroom looked like a freshly fought battleground. No joke, I also never knew they farted until I met her.#42
Things I've noted about living with women:Cleanliness
Women aren't "cleaner" than men. They're tidier than men. There's a difference. Tidy is all about appearance; clean is all about actual hygiene. As long as guests can't see the filth, they're fine with it.
The living room and and kitchen (which people will see) will look like it sprung from the pages of Better Homes & Gardens; their room (which virtually no one will see, unless they're getting laid at which point they won't care) will look like Dresden circa 1945. The coffee table and counter will look surgically scrubbed; they'll have leftovers in the fridge that have been there since Christmas.
Ferrets
Guys, don't move in with a girl who has a ferret. Girls, don't be that girl who owns a ferret.
Edit:
Money
Two guys paying a shared power bill
Guy 1: "Ok, it's $500. So we're paying $250 each.
Guy 2: "Fair enough."
A guy and a girl
Girl: "The power bills is $500."
Guy: "All right, $250 each."
Girl: "Actually, I don't feel I should paying that much because I was away for five days last month, and anyway you left a light on in the kitchen while you weren't in it last Tuesday, and plus how much power does your computer use compared to my laptop...so I think I should only have to pay...$100."
Guy: "You leave you damn light on in your room all the time!"
Girl: "Yes, but I can't help that. It's only because Mr. Turtley, my pet turtle, is afraid of the dark..."
#43
Actually "shake it" after they pee. I had no idea that was a real thing.#44
Turns out women are incapable of putting a toilet seat down by themselves.#45
Women:Use like 3 TP rolls per day.
Leave hairs everywhere.
Take up 85% of all the closet, floor, shelf, and bathroom space but then be like "OMG, quit hogging all the room."
