How long we spend on personal grooming
Why we go to the toilets together
The very simple (or not as it would seem) art of satisfying a girl in bed

That last one is solved with the simple art of communication though.

Ermmm, isn't anything that is not known to a group of people solved with the simple art of communication? As in... literally anything on this thread. I like that you picked up on this one in particular though haha

This is true. They look at you like you're some sort of weirdo.

This is something that might even be unknown to many girls but is certainly unknown to all men.

The pain from having genital hair get stuck to the glue from the pad. Sometimes close trimming/shaving has its benefits. :tongue:

Amen. Seriously one of the most annoying things for girl to experience. Nothing screams 'I'm on my period' more than opening a pad/tampon wrapper, especially when the toilet is uncomfortably quiet. :rolleyes:
Thank God for those few seconds when someone uses the hand dryer.:colondollar:

Or when someone flushes and you're just like "YES THANK GOD".

It's stupid, really, since most women have periods, so they at some point have to do this too. But no, it's damn embarassing.

When my mum was in high school, they had an incinerator in the girl's toilets for sanitary items. Which you had to use, in front of everyone. :eek:

I used to be soo self-conscious about this, but now I've just given up with trying to be quiet/discrete. I just go for it. :tongue: I think the most other people think is "she's on her period", and that's about it.

Nahh, how you lot gather en masse to go and pee will never be solved by communication :confused: That needs scientists and calculations!

But I only picked up on that one because I hear it too much and it grates a little bit personally.

I'm trying to reach that sort of confidence. One day, we will overcome! :biggrin:

How getting up in the morning can be deadly awquad if for example you have a sleep over, and we of course have the morning thing (I call it the morning thing).
I tend to have to wait it out which can take up to 5-10 minutes at times if people are around.

Girls do have to show more, but in some instances, they actually don't. If you have a skirt for example, your not showing much at all more than you would have been with it on, as the skirt is mostly covering. All you are doing is pulling to the side.
Plus, girls don't go into the cubicals together, so you are generally not showing as much at all :tongue:

I don't feel comfortable if I'm at a urinal and someone goes to the one directly next to me. Nor do I feel comfortable if its an open long one, where everyone is standing next to each other, and everything is in view (i.e in some clubs)

I use the cubicles whenever possible

I'd say how difficult it can be to aim while peeing :colondollar:

Huh? Is that supposed to be fashion advice or something?

We men seem to talk in far less detail about sex than women.

In my experience, it seems pretty natural for women to describe sex in a much higher level of detail to each other than men ever do. For us it normally comes down to

'So, did you shag?'
*Yeah*
'Good?'
*Yeah, not bad*

Maybe there will be a mention if something particularly good happened, or something a little odd, but that's about it. Whereas it seems to me a lot of women seem to give their friends full reviews :eek:

Although maybe I just have some over inquisitive female friends :cool:
Personally I vote for getting hair stuck under your foreskin or even in your urethra. My girlfriend's head hairs are always getting in there and it's the worst because they're so long...

I really couldn't be a woman, all that endless worrying about what other people might think of you from make-up, clothes, what you eat to simply dealing with your period. It would drive me to drink

This is 100% true and one of the reasons I always point to to show that women are more horny than men

That sounds ****ing painful, and it's something I'd never even though possible. :eyeball:

It's bloody (pun intended) annoying, I'll give you that. And of course, there's people who say "Who cares what people think!?"
But in reality, of course, most people do care about what others think of them.
And that means, for some strange reason, hiding that you're on your period from a bunch of women who are also at some point on their period, for no apparent reason. :colonhash:

I almost have more female friends than male and I also can confirm this. Gets kinda annoying after a while.
