I'm a curious person, so when I came across this Reddit thread where u/ThePlague_Doct0r asked, "Men of Reddit, what are some questions you’ve always wanted to ask women but couldn’t because it would seem weird?" I couldn't stop scrolling through the thread.
Not only were some of the questions pretty surprising, but a lot of women answered them very honestly. Here's some of what the men asked and what women answered:
1. "When you're using the bathroom and you see your pad is slightly soiled, does it feel awkward having to put it back against your body?"
2. "What kind of common behavior makes a guy seem creepy or unattractive?"
3. "Why is there an overabundance of pillows everywhere? Couches, beds. I get having one or two for comfort. But I've seen women with five or more pillows."
4. "I'm a single dad to an 11-year-old daughter. What are some things I need to be knowledgeable of as she matures?"
5. "Do women put deodorant in their boob pits?"
6. "I know this is going to seem weird, but how do you guys control your pee stream? It’s easy for a guy, but I’m not too sure it would be for a woman."
7. "Do you randomly get sexually aroused in public for no reason at all, like men? And if so, does it die down quickly?"
8. "Do women prefer men to be open and direct about their intentions when dating, or is there a necessity for nuance, subtle signals, and such?"
9. "When you're platonic friends with a man, do you want to be treated exactly how he treats his male friends? In terms of tone, the inside jokes, and the way time is spent, or is there an expectation to be treated differently as a woman? All in the platonic sphere, of course."
10. "How soon should a guy call after asking for your number?"
11. "Does someone's job or profession change how attractive you find him?"
12. "How do you hide your period pain so well?"
13. "What are some things that contribute to a 'dead' bedroom in a long-term relationship, and what might men do to resolve those issues?"
14. "The good ole classic question: Does size matter?"
