Things that baffle women about men

This may come as no surprise but it turns out that men leave women baffled. In fact, when it comes down to specifics, some may say the list of things is endless but our survey has narrowed it down to the top 50. Men, you might want to leave the room.

The biggest cause of confusion lies with the notorious ‘man flu’. Specifically, women fail to comprehend just exactly what makes it so much worse than normal flu. Men’s inability to listen or their mysterious selective hearing powers also had females flummoxed.

The poll of 2,000 women also failed to grasp the opposite sex’s sporting obsession. In particular, the women failed to get their head around why men watch a full football match and then need to watch the highlights on Match of the Day later that day. Men’s ability to remember endless sports stats whilst failing to remember important dates such as birthdays and anniversaries also left women confused.

The story achieved widespread media coverage, landing in both print and online versions of The Express, in The Sun newspaper and various other sites including Joe and Independent.ie.
