They say you don’t truly know someone until you’ve lived with them. And in most cases, it is true. Once you’ve seen a person being their authentic selves at home, whether while passed out on the couch and involuntarily passing gas or having their eccentric eating habits on full display, can you get a good gauge of their personality.
In this case, a few women are sharing what they’ve learned about the male species after cohabitating with one. For many of them, seeing the genital complexities and behavioral quirks of the opposite sex (among many other things) has opened their eyes in more ways than one.
To our female readers, feel free to share any similar anecdotes you may have. Guys, feel free to enlighten them.
That they do appreciate the candles, rugs and things we add to our space that make it “home”. My husband had two sets of simple cotton, gray sheets as a bachelor and now sleeps on sheets of bamboo or Egyptian cotton. He would never have bought those things for himself but he loves that I do.
They like chilling in their underwear a lot more than I thought. I live with my bf, and as soon as he comes home, the pants come off and he just sits and chills. He says it simply feels comfortable and he feels less sweaty down there. Fair point honestly .
How little they seem to think about their own comfort or try to problem solve around lower-stakes things. My husband is constantly pleased and impressed by things I do around the house or for him to increase our/ his level of comfort. It just doesn’t even occur to him that he can change his environment or buy himself something that might improve his quality of life. I’ve known other men like this too. One of my favorite examples is a male friend complaining about how hot his new apartment was getting, so I suggested buying a fan, and the look of confusion this man gave me… never even occurred to him there might be a solution to his problem.
That the right one can be so awesome to live with. Equal (and sometimes he does more) housework, things I’d drop hundreds to have fixed normally he can just take care of. I haven’t taken out trash in about 8 years. How sensitive they can be (huge bonus because I grew up being told they were brick walls and no feelings. Awful thing to perpetuate) and how supportive they can be. I didn’t know they don’t all fit into the million stereotypes they’re given. Exclusively raised around the worst of the worst, so it was constant pleasant surprises. Feels too good to be true most days!
When my little sister moved out she texted me about how she never realized how considerate I was with our shared bathroom growing up until she lived with other dudes. The key is I rage clean anytime im mad or have a bad day I clean the f**k out of something really aggressively to calm down.
Everything must be turned *all* the way to the max. Ceiling fan? All the way up. Faucets? All the way up. AC? High. Fridge temp? Freeze it *all*! Lights? If he walked through the room, they’re on. T.V.? The neighbors can hear it down the road. Lawnmower? Burn rubber. Dryer? High heat.
The exception: Thermostat in winter.
Oh. I also never realized bellybutton lint was a real thing.
Edit to add: Didn’t know sneezes could be **SO LOUD**.
Me and my boyfriend done a “test” a few months ago when my flatmate moved out and I had an empty flat for a few months, and he was between places so I was like let’s try it!
The hair in my sink!!! And he left the cupboard doors open so much. Maybe that’s just my boyfriend BUT THE HAIR IN THE SINK WHEN HE WOULD SHAVE!!!!! I’ve never lived with a man until my boyfriend but CLEAN UP YOUR FACIAL HAIR.
Men will act like they are low maintenance, but the truth is they secretly form emotional bonds with hoodies, mugs, and random tools.
How much capacity for love, understanding, communication and expression they can have in an emotionally safe environment.
How f*****g infectious and amazing their laughter can be.
