Men are confusing. I’ve never met anyone who could explain their weird ways to me, male or female. Recently, though, I’ve discovered some things that men don’t understand about women, and despite hours of explaining, and even trying to use salt and pepper (it took me a long time and A LOT of condiments to learn the offside rule!) they just couldn’t get it. So here is my list of things that men just won’t ever understand…
1. Fantasies

Vampires have been huge recently, and hundreds of women have admitted to finding new secret fantasies revolving around the Twilight series…this is something men just can’t grasp, however. They tend to have a few set fantasies, which they may or may not think about, but these don’t tend to be triggered by a particular person or event. So Robert Pattison scares him a little, and he’ll worry that you have ‘lost’ some of the feelings you had for him. It seems that men and women formulate fantasies in very different ways, so make sure you keep him feeling loved too, and avoid trying to explain!
2. Why Our Hair Accessories End Up Everywhere

Okay, I’ll admit that my hair accessories are EVERYWHERE. I buy a new pack every few weeks, as I just can’t find them…I start with a whole pack on my wrist, and slowly they’ll get left in the kitchen, or next to the shower, or in the bed…until I have none left. Then I’ll get a new pack. This baffles my boyfriend. He collects them up, and puts them in one place. He doesn’t understand why I can’t do the same…I just can’t!
3. Bitchiness

Women’s arguments will always baffle men. They just can’t keep up. If men fall out, they tend to either fight, or just not talk. Either way, it’s clear cut, and everyone knows where they stand. So “He said, She said” will just confuse him, and he’ll never be able to detect the hidden message in that “sorry” text. He’ll just think its a wonder that any women have friends!
4. Bravery

I hate spiders! If I see one, I’ll freeze with fear. I’m not too good with other bugs, either…So it baffles my boyfriend that I’ll wax. He’s kept me company while I’ve done my legs before, and a beauty technician friend has even practised on him, so he is aware of how much it hurts. It baffles him why I can’t save my bravery for ‘everyday’ situations..but he definitely doesn’t mind playing the hero when I do encounter spiders!
5. Marriage

So you might have dreamed of your big day for years, and even cut out pictures of your favourite dresses or saved your favourite venues to your favourites. So when you meet Mr Right, your plans are suddenly finalized, and you want to be married as soon as possible. It’s not the same for him, though. He won’t have dreamt of weddings, he’ll have dreamt of football, and he needs some time for the thought to occur to him on its own. So forget weddings and rings, and put it right to the back of your mind. Then when he proposes, it’ll be because he really wants too, and want a surprise!
