Things Girls Don’t Understand About Guys

Boys may be thought of as the simpler of the sexes…

…but they are still largely a mystery to us girls.

For example, it will never cease to amaze us how they can eat like this…

…and this…

…yet still look like this.

Seriously, someone explain this to us. 

What’s the deal with video games? How do they keep guys amused for hours?

And golf? This is about how amusing we find watching golf:  

How about “No Shave November?” Who decided that was going to be a thing?  

What is their obsession with getting “swole?”

And why do they get so emotionally invested in sports? C’mon, guys. It’s just a game.

We’ll never understand why it’s so hard for them to ask for directions…

…or to ask for any sort of help, for that matter.

And how hard is it to remember to put the seat down, really?

What is it about guys that makes them lust after girls like this…

…when they could spend their time chasing a girl like this? Whatever, boys.  

Why do guys ask for our number if they never intend to call us?

And how is it possible for them to be so oblivious to how we’re feeling?   

What we’d really love to know, though, is why guys are so afraid to make themselves vulnerable.

Why does the word “commitment” make guys run for the hills?

We’ve resigned ourselves to the fact that we’ll never fully understand the male species…

…but we hope they at least come around to the idea of washing their clothes on a weekly basis soon.
