Men either think they got women all figured out, or they think they know absolutely nothing about women and the way they "work". Either way, there are very few men who actually, legitimately, know a thing or two about the female gender. For us girls, most of the time it is incredibly funny to see them stumble in the dark while trying to understand what is going on in our minds, or incredibly frustrating. 

In this AskReddit thread, we get to learn just how little men know. With the guide question being - 'what facts do men think they know about women but actually know nothing about?', some of the answers are surprising, some funny, and some downright disappointing.

Scroll down to read the responses. When you are done scrolling down, come back up and click here for a story of a woman whose boyfriend asked her to take in his daughter, so the internet urged her to dump him.

    calloooohcallay. 5 days ago My husband thought that bangs (aka fringe) was just the way that some women's hair naturally grew, not a result of cutting that section of hair shorter than the rest.

    Puzzleheaded_Pipe979. 5 days ago Makeup. We don't know about makeup other than it exists and that it's worn. But if you see a picture of a woman with some on, the experts will tell you all about what is "natural" & what isn't.
