55 Funny Pictures Proving How Different Men And Women Can Be

Men and women sometimes have different ways of thinking. One’s not wrong compared to the other, but it’s fascinating to note the differences.

Of course, this can be chalked up to more than sex or gender – it can also depend on where, when, and how you were raised and all sorts of other factors.

We’ve largely evolved beyond the “women/men are naturally like this…” rhetoric, but it can still be fun to note our tendencies. It can also help us understand that we’re not alone in being annoyed by the things our partners or kids do when they’re the opposite sex!

1) Furnishing

Whether it’s a dorm room or a bachelor pad, when men move into a new place they tend to be…well, minimalists.

Of course, some guys have great design skills, but plenty are happy with the bare minimum.

2) Packing

Ok, so maybe most women pack more and have a bit more anxiety about travel, but some of this is a tad sexist.

Then again, we’ve known more than one guy who just sticks one outfit and two pairs of underwear in a bag and calls it a day.

3) Colors

It’s more common for women to care about the difference between tangerine and cantelope – and not when it comes to food.

How freeing it must be to just see it all as “orange”!

4) Cat pics

If a woman takes a cat photo, it’s often a glamour shot.

And while guys love their cats, they’re more likely to want to memorialize them in ridiculous(ly awesome) fashion.

But let’s face it, we need all the cat photos we can get – and a wide variety too!

5) Holiday decor

This is so metal.

Sure, women are crafty (and maybe a woman even made this)…actually, wait. It has a star AND garland. Are we sure this belongs to a guy?

6) Recycling

Who collects more stuff?

But who uses their collected stuff for weirder purposes?

All we’re saying is this guy using an old kid’s shoe as a phone holder seems to be in peak dad mode.

7) Organizing

We must credit this man’s organization system.

Why pick up the paperclip? He clearly knows exactly here it is when he needs it.

8) Marketing

Ok, here’s one legitimate difference between men and women – people market to us in totally different ways.

Frankly, we’d rather read the one on the left, but the one on the right is clearly designed to entice women. </eyeroll>

9) Bathroom antics

So let’s say you walk into your boyfriend’s bathroom and see this.

Sure, you laugh, and you take a picture and send it to your friends – but are you truly shocked?

And sorry guys, but if the toilet seat didn’t give it away, the broom in the bathtub did.

10) Longevity

Women tend to live longer.

And now we know why.

11) Solutions

This is what one dude considered to be “fixing” the door handle.

Not every man is handy, but this one happened to be an engineer.

We’re not saying it takes a man to come up with this, but we’re implying just a little that it’s likely to stay this way for a while.

12) Contraptions

This husband thought that he knew the perfect way to make a toilet paper holder.

And we have to ask: what’s wrong with just buying a new one?

13) Girl stuff

Most men have no idea what this metal thing is when they look at this picture, whereas most women know in an instant.

For those still wondering, it’s the underwire of a bra. You’re welcome.

14) Checking on the ugly face

Seriousy, we just have to know how people will see us at our absolute worst.

It’s a weird obsession, but also makes for some epic photos.

15) Selfies

Ok, so while women might want to know what they look like at their worst, our selfies never show that.

Men’s selfies can be glamour shots as well (enough with the gym photos!), but they’re often delightfully obnoxious.

16) On sale

Frankly, we thought this belonged to a woman at first.

But apparently, this man loves a sale. And he only seems to see the sale sign when it’s one something he likes.

17) Dad puns

Men love puns.

Women like them too, but more often than not, men reign supreme.

When a woman makes a gingerbread house, you better believe that it will have a picket fence. When a man makes one, well…

18) Crashpads

No, this isn’t a drug house, it’s just the bedroom of a single guy.

This is peak minimalism though.

Who gets the pillow when someone spends the night?

19) Cat Of The Month

There’s a reason we label women “Crazy Cat Lady” but don’t have a similar moniker for men.

But we’ll be honest, we thought this was a guy’s project at first for the sheer number of silly photos.

My wife awards ‘Cat of the Month’ in our house. But we have only one cat. from r/funny

20) Shapes

People love to label women’s bodies by shape. And then we carry that shape like a burden, even avoiding clothing for “an hourglass” if we’re “an apple.”

Hopefully, future generations will do better at teaching women that their bodies are beautiful and don’t resemble fruit salads.

21) For later

Men seem to like to eat in the bathroom. And we don’t mean a slice of cake and a glass of champagne in the rub.

This is just weird though.

22) The bump

I’m not talking about the baby bump, I’m talking about the hair bump.

Even the easiest hairstyle for women comes with a downside.

23) Vacation photos

When women take a vacation photo, everything has to be planned out.

When men take a vacation photo, it’s all for laughs.

Hey, they all create memories!

24) Unfair

Men seem to have an much easier time losing weight than women.

We know it’s not the same for everyone, but this just rang true for us.

25) Snacks

Ah yes, another snack in the bathroom.

Maybe it fell out of his pocket.

But who doesn’t notice their Slim Jim is missing?

26) Nesting

Sometimes, pets are “practice babies.” And sometimes women mean that quite literally.

Maybe a guy would do this, but it would be to show everyone his expert burrito wrapping skills.

That poor dog is so annoyed.

27) Babysitting

This might be more of a sibling thing than a guy thing.

This younger brother is caring for his nephew – and he remembers all the right ways to push his sister’s buttons.

That bag interior better be clean when she gets home, dude!

28) Do-overs

If I saw this many black-tipped Q-tips in a man’s bathroom, I would worry.

But when they belong to a woman, you know that someone was just having trouble with their eyeliner.

29) Multipurpose

Men are okay with using just about anything for anything. Women want a toothbrush holder for their toothbrushes.

Men seem not to care much.

30) Jeans

Women get straight-up screwed when it comes to buying denim.

It never fits properly, it’s more expensive, and it doesn’t last as long.

Then we have to rethink our entire lifestyle when we get this dreaded hole.

31) Fairy princesses

We’re finally becoming more open-minded about gender roles. After all, fairies aren’t real, so how can you claim they’re female?

Then again, we do tend to pinkify everything princess and fairy-like.

32) Multi-tasking

Women tend to multi-task in different ways.

But let’s be fair – we’ve seen plenty of guys find a way to keep their babies quiet while gaming.

33) Storage

If a woman finds a hole in the wall, she fixes it.

If a man finds a hole in the wall, he considers it additional storage.

34) Brows

Men can fall asleep anywhere and the worst that happens is they get bedhead.

But taking an afternoon nap as a woman requires a lot of extra effort.

Not to mention that our brows are sacred. Even when we accidentally leave them on the pillow.

35) Aging

Young women can master the “older” look easily. And some of us can go straight to Aunt Karen before we’re teenagers!

It’s not always a good thing, of course.

Is it a gift or a curse?

36) Just Do It

Often, when men do something amazing, the whole world will know it.

Women tend to downplay the little victories that they have. Even when it’s a bare-handed cactus transplant.

37) The Pain Of Long Hair

Everyone with long hair has experienced this at least once in their life.

But since more women have long hair than men, it’s safe to say that this is more of a female problem than a neutral problem.

Most men can just get in the car without a second thought.

38) Longevity

Women’s important items are never made to last and it’s really not fair.

Now that we have guys with man buns, maybe we’ll be able to find a decent hair elastic.

39) The chair

There’s always a chair of shame and regret right outside the women’s dressing room.

It emits the agony of thousands of men that have sat there before wondering just what to say when their partner comes out of the dressing room.

40) Heels

Well, we like to say a woman can do anything a man can do and do it in heels.

But this is going a little too far.

We know it’s true, so do we need to prove it?

41) The snarl

Another problem with long hair is that your glasses get stuck in it.

Long hair can be such a pain sometimes.

What do you think it’s like to never have to worry about that?

42) Sexualized

Why do we have to be told something is “female” by it’s lipstick and eyelashes?

It’s a cartoon cat, for goodness sake.

Unless it’s going to give birth, it doesn’t even matter what sex it is!

43) Yardwork

Men get saddled with the yard work more often.

But they also find creative ways of taking breaks.

44) Can opening

Can’t open a jar? No problem.

Women won’t give up. We’ll bust right through it.

45) Blisters

Sure, men get blisters too, but it seems like women’s shoes are just nastier on the heel.

So, if you see her with blisters and flip flops, you’ll know what happened.

46) Parenting

Taking your kid for a stroll is great, but men find odd ways of making it entertaining too.

Odd and great, that is. We’re mesmerized.

47) Sidekick

Some women help their men out with their selfies, but usually, we see men doing the impossible for her to get a good shot.

They really deserve some credit.

48) Options

Women who love makeup will look at this and think “yep, that’s a decent collection.”

To be fair, there are plenty of women who would see this is overkill. But find us one single man that doesn’t.

49) Stains

We might all have to worry about deodorant stains when trying things on at the store, but women have a whole other problem.

Although, we have to say, it’s not cool to leave an item like that.

50) Clutter

Women can be messy, but it also tends to drive us crazy faster.

Is it just us or are computer cords particularly infuriating?

This wife labeled her husband’s cords and we find it simply relaxing to look at.

51) Boredom

When women are bored, we’ll do some self-care or ruminate.

But when men are bored, they find something like this to do.

No, its not universal, but we’ve just never seen a woman deep fry an action figure.

52) Playtime

Whether it’s a kid or a cat, if dad is in charge and you can’t find the little one, check up in the air.

Do you think this feline is having fun?

It’s hard to tell.

53) Toys

Some guys never grow out of their action figures.

Or at least when they come across one they’re much more likely to display it.

54) Rigged

We’re utterly perplexed. What is this supposed to accomplish?

We’re never shocked when men create multi-purpose tools, but we’re often confused.

55) Sweet stash

We all love chocolate. But we know a lot of guys who will finish the last one without warning.

That’s why sometimes you just have to get crafty and hide your secret stash in plain sight.
