So, I loved this Redditthreadasking, “What are the key things men should know about women?”

because the answers were so accurate!

Here is what some women said:

Two people having a conversation on a sofa, one appears to be consoling the other

“More often than not, we like to have a little rant.

We’re not looking for solutions.”

“You should ask them what they like sexually before trying things willy-nilly.

Women are very different in what kind of touch they like.”

It baffles me when guys say they can never get a girl to finish.

Literally, ask and do as youre told."

It doesn’t matter her excuses or how good she treats you when she is with you."

“This might not be all women, but treat us like wild birds.

Talk to us normally and with respect.

Snacks are good, too.”

“She prefers beautiful over hot.

Call her beautiful or elegant rather than calling her hot or sexy.”

“The most underrated thing a man can do is make me feel safe.

Ask for consent, even if it is VERY implied.

This is so beyond calling me beautiful instead of hot.

I knew he respected me initially, and I always felt safe around him.

He didn’t have to alter his language in a manipulative way to achieve this.”

“How important our menstrual cycles are, and how they affect us.

“Something I’ve learned from my wife of 19 years be an active listener.

We guys can sum up our day in two sentences or less.

Give her 90 minutes, lol.”

“Dont get too overtly sexual too early.

It puts most women off.”

Its often just our job to be friendly and or flirt.

Some of us are just naturally outgoing and friendly and no means no.”

“Women don’t want to be your mummy or your maid.”

The only person who can hear you yelling is us and we hate it.

“We dont have a problem picking where we want to eat.

The problem is we want a little bit of everything.”

“We just want to feel pretty for our partners.

The second we don’t feel sexy for our partners, welcome to a dead bedroom.”

If we are stressed, ask questions and strive to understand why.

Demonstrate active empathy for us."
