Sure, there's the classics like "when I say I'm not thinking about anything I'm actually not thinking about anything" but that's just the tip of the iceberg. In most cases it's helpful to know what's going on in someone else's head. Except when it's absolutely disgusting. We tried not to include too much, but some got through anyway.

    Text - JohnnyMopper 33.9k points 2 days ago As a favor, I worked on a girl's car one time and got pretty dirty. Afterwards, she asked me if I wanted to come inside and take a shower. I told her "no" because I hadn't brought any clean clothes to put on after the shower. She just kinda giggled. Yeah, us guys aren't exactly too bright when it comes to reading between the lines.

    Text - realbadaccountant 23.0k points 2 days ago 26 When people come crying to us, our first inclination is to fix the problem. Since this is (oftern) not possible, lead with something along the lines of "Can I vent for a minute?"

    Text - edited 1 day ago, pm_me_ur_rice_noodle 21.7k points 2 days ago I spent an hour or so this morning reading about fighter jets then dozed off and dreamt that I was a pilot. Then I remembered a cool folder I had once with a t-rex flying a fighter jet on it. I laughed out loud at that memory and when my wife asked why, I said not to worry about it.

    Text - BlueLantern84 18.3k points 2 days ago If we have a goofy hobby and you take interest in it, even the slightest, we love it. I'm a big gamer and my wife (who also games but not the same ones I play) will often watch what I'm doing, ask about the game, and generally take an interest. Her saying "oh, are you looking forward to Anthem?" is really cool and I appreciate her interest, it's be so easy for her to pay no attention, and her doing so makes a big difference.

I hate living in a world where it's not socially acceptable for men to talk about these things. A lot of guys would talk about their experiences and issues but don't feel like they can. I feel like we just sort of ignore the issue and guys that have mental health issues are sort of looked down upon because men are all suppo

    Text - banjohusky95 16.0k points 2 days ago4 We really do think your hair is good. It looked good before and after you got a hair cut. If looked good curly and it looked good straight. It looked good when you woke up and when you made it. As long as its shaped like the hair we gave girls on stick figures when we were 5 years old, we think it looks good.

    Text - frozenartic 8.1k points 2 days ago 2 When we come home from work, we could use some down time to do nothing. The car ride home does not count. Give us 20-30 minutes without unloading This may be true for everyone, but having a moment to just be dormant on your couch or in front of the tv let's our body and brain say, " work is over and you can put it behind you!"
