22 Things All Women Do That Men Have No Idea About

Ladies, I’m here for all the quirky things you do that men just do not understand.

You love the little things, and you celebrate your femininity by being uniquely you.

Men? They don’t get it. They live on one level, and if you’re lucky, you might give them a little insight into your life and what brings you joy.

I have 22 things all women do that men have no idea about, and I know you are going to appreciate every single one.

#1 Using dry shampoo like it’s a life source. 

I want to take a moment to put dry shampoo on a pedestal. It belongs there. It’s saved so many situations, and men just wouldn’t understand the importance of always having a bottle to hand.

In a man’s eyes, hair is hair. To a woman, it’s an essential part of their identity. They look after it, and always want it to look and feel flowy and full.

Dry shampoo is a secret weapon. 

#2 Bra removal the second they get home.

Wouldn’t you take off the wired garment the moment you could?

Personally, I don’t blame women for wanting to feel comfortable after having to wear one all day. 

You’re home.

Have at it. Men will never understand this. 

#3 Saying they will go to bed early, then spending hours scrolling on their phone

What? Did I just speak on behalf of all women everywhere?

Scrolling is a way of switching off before night time calls, but let’s be honest. There’s a lot to scroll.

Sales.

Reels.

Shorts.

News feeds.

Horoscopes.

Weather.

Information, people. Women are always prepared and up to date, and this is why. 

#4 Having a favorite burner on the stove. 

Wait, there are 4 burners? 

To most women, they gravitate to their own favorite. It’s not too powerful, and not too weak. It’s just right, and that’s exactly why they pick it first everytime they want to cook on the stove. 

You can’t challenge them, because if you do, you’re the crazy one. You’ll never get it. 

#5 Rehearsing important conversations in their mind. 

I will say, and then they will likely say, and then I will reply with…

It’s got to be right, right? 

And you know what it makes me think of? It makes me think about all the ways that women are generally better communicators than men.

Perhaps it’s because they have rehearsed so many scenarios so many times.

#6 Re-reading a text 100 times before sending it. 

She’s sending a text, she’s checking it twice…

Women – the Santa of the text world. And who’s to blame them, really? They want to make sure they’ve written everything necessary down, and it;s got to read well before they send it.

They wouldn’t want to give the wrong impression, or come across in a way they don’t mean to. 

Men never think that deeply. 

#7 Saying “I’m fine” when they are definitely not fine. 

Is it for men to guess, or just tap into the idea that they need the woman to elaborate?

Sometimes, women say they’re fine because they know they’re probably wasting their time trying to explain something the man just won’t grasp. 

Other times, they want you to know them, and to dig deeper for an answer or explanation. 

#8 Taking a million photos but only putting one online. 

The only way women are going to get that perfect photo they’re happy with is to make twenty, and whittle them down to one.

I wouldn’t question it. They want to be happy, and post one they’re confident in others seeing or generally commenting on. 

#9 Holding onto bobby pins like they’re rare diamonds. 

Listen, they get lost all the time.

You find them slurping up the tube of a vacuum cleaner, down the back of the couch, or even down the back of a radiator. 

Wherever they may be, they’re priceless. Women will gather them fro random house spots like a squash in a harvest, and protect them with their life.

#10 Overanalyzing text messages from men.

What does it mean? What is he really saying, though? How is it that he said this in this way?

And so on and on. 

It’s okay, it’s just what women do because they’d actually be right to on some occasions. Men don’t say what they always mean, and women are good at picking up on that. 

But also, it’s worth noting that the over-analysis is a complete waste of time and energy. 

#11 Using a towel as a makeshift dress for way too long.

Listen, getting dressed isn’t just an action, it’s an entire process. 

You have to think about it, then prepare, and rest in between.

Plus there’s the obvious errands that need doing in the house in between, like making coffee and catching that Friends rerun going on in the background. 

#13 Storing sanitary products with care and precision. 

There needs to be plenty, and they need to be a varied size and flow capacity.

They know exactly what they’ve got, what they need more of, and what they use the most depending on the cycle day.

Men will just never understand any of this, and rightly so. Women are the bosses of their own bodies, and they have it all under control!

#14 Sitting on the toilet without needing to go because they just want to be on their phone. 

Calling all moms!

I hear you, I see you, and I get it.

It’s nothing to feel guilty of, but women do love a bathroom break, and to use it as an excuse to switch off and catch up.

#15 Collecting half-used lotions or beauty products. 

Not consciously, you understand. But women love to keep hold of what they’ve only half used, in case they ever need to use it again.

Of course, then there’s the discontinued selection where they can’t possibly use the rest because then – it’ll be gone forever. 

#16 Checking behind the shower curtain for attackers.

In a hotel, at home, wherever they may be.

It’s wise to check, right?

I mean. You can’t be too safe, and who am I to judge?

#17 Wearing the same bra for days (Who’s keeping track?)

If it’s not visibly dirty, it’s fine.

#18 Using makeup products even if the label says they expired.

Surely it’ll be okay, won’t it? I mean, it’s not like you’re going to get food poisoning. Men might think, “Just replace it!”

Women spend a lot of money on beauty products. They will use them until they run out. 

#19 Casually online shopping without actually buying anything. 

Women will sit and love to fill their baskets.

Great! Sounds like a fun purchase.

What do you mean you’re closing the page down?

Didn’t you…?!

No, they didn’t.

But I suppose that’s all part of the fun. Shopping without actually purchasing or stealing. 

#20 Feeling personally attacked when the stylist chops off too much hair. 

I didn’t pay for this!

No, you didn’t. Women often take in a photo or have a specific idea of what they want their hair to look like.

Make no mistakes, or never forget it if you do.

#21 Having an emotional attachment to hoodies stolen from their ex. 

It means a lot, and if it still fits, it’s going to stay in their wardrobe. 

Bonus points for it being all the more tatty.
