Sure, some things are best left unsaid between men and women, but too many suffer in silence and I think it’s time to end that. So, for the guys that have something to say, but don’t want to or know how to say it, I’m going to do it for them. Because honestly, there are just so many things women really ought to know about us. So, if you’ve got a special someone that you want to convey this message to indirectly then feel free to pass this along, but only because you thought it was, you know, “funny.” -Jason Epstein

Our Sex Drive Never Really Goes Away

When men and women are in a relationship, women’s sex drives tend to drop off after 6 months or so, while ours stays the same. While that information is representative of a scientific study, it obviously won’t reflect every couple’s bedroom dynamics. But if you’re part of that reality, then you could both be in for some tough times, especially when you get all marriage’d up. We got needs to, so consider a compromise.

We Think Differently Than You Do

We can’t be expected to read your mind. Your emotions, which feel very real to you are often hidden to us. This could be due to your repression, our denseness or a happy combination of the two. Even people who have been together for a long time still learn new things about each other, so don’t assume that we should know what’s up just because. Healthy and open discourse is the key to moving communication in the right direction.

We Turn On and Off Differently Than You Do

Most women turn on like an oven and off like a light while most men turn on like a light and off like an oven. Meaning women are slow to start, quick to stop and men are quick to start, slow to stop. It’s just another wrinkle of complexity to add to the difference between men and women.
