There Is No Such Thing As Natural Beauty.That girls actually have to use some makeup to get that “natural beauty” look.

Most of us grew up with women in our lives. A mom, a sister, a grandmother, a close female friend. But, really, unless you’re intimately involved with the opposite sex for a significant period of time, there are always things you just don’t know. Things that may… come as a shock.

This is especially true for our guy friends who grew up sheltered and unscathed. Their girl-ignorance quota can sometimes be too high for us to break through all at once. So we turned to our trusted friend, Reddit, for this must-read for dudes who didn’t grow up with sisters.

9. They Are Naturally As Hairy As You

They have to shave/wax their arms and legs, otherwise they will be as hairy as me. Girls also smell pretty damn good… all the time.

8. There Is No Such Thing As Natural Beauty

That girls actually have to use some makeup to get that “natural beauty” look.

7. That Time Of The Month Doesn’t Happen All At Once

My very period-sympathetic boyfriend thought, up until a few months ago, that all the blood during a woman’s monthly period comes out all at once. In some massive torrential wave. (Apparently, we only wear tampons/pads for longer because we don’t know exactly when the flood is coming…)

6. They Lose A Scary Amount Of Hair

The amount of hair that they lose on a regular basis is astounding

5. They’re Actually Hungry

That they’ll tell you they’re not hungry, then eat the food off your plate one piece at a time.

4. They Use An Insane Amount Of Shower Products

All of the bottles in the shower. That was a real eye opener.  Conditioner, shampoo, body wash, skin cleanser… And if you bump one of them, all 15 precariously balanced bottles will fall and create a holy grail of trip hazards.

3. That Time Of The Month Is No Joke

I remember the first time I saw what a period was like. My (ex)fiancee was sick so I was taking care of her. I carried her to the bathroom and when I saw all this blood I was shocked. I thought it was something that slowly dripped out like a leaky faucet, but it looked like her vagina sacrificed a goat.

2. They Need Their (Closet) Space

How cherishable shower/closet space is.

1. They Will Actually Fall In The Toilet If You Leave The Seat Up

Sarcastic right?
