Just as girls are different than guys, the male species can also be quite puzzling to females as well. There are some differences between the genders, however, that will simply never be understood:

10. Obsession with The Wolf of Wall Street: The movie The Wolf of Wall Street was released in 2013 and ever since then it has been the topic of many male conversations. Yes, girls do think that Leonardo DiCaprio is absolutely gorgeous, but the film did not bring as much excitement to the views of females as it did to our male counterparts. For the first month after its release, if you did not hear at least one Wolf of Wall Street reference per day, then you must not have been around very many teenage boys.

9. Endless Hours Spent Playing Video Games: The world of video game shooters like Valorant and the absolute importance of a sensitivity converter is completely foreign to girls. Why would anyone want to spend hours of time playing a fake game of war and combat with people whom you have never even met before? I personally understand playing games like Madden, FIFA, and PGA Tour, but it is games like Call of Duty and Halo that make absolutely no sense. As soon as someone says the words “video game”, the female brain automatically centers in on some guy who has been gaming for twelve hours straight and has no clue that this is what his life has come to. Even though this is just a stereotype and does not even describe but a small portion of the male population, it is a view that females over the years have grown accustomed to.

8. Snot Rockets: Even though it is easily the most disgusting thing on this list, guys; however, think snot rockets are HILARIOUS. Once used only as a way for runners to clear their nose, snot rockets have taken a turn for the worst. Now they have been adopted as a way to get a laugh out of others (no laughing here). There are honestly just no words for this disgusting trend.

7.  AX Body Spray: This is a throwback to the middle school years that consisted of the boys’ locker room reeking of AX body spray. Every guy came out of gym class fuming with this musty and unbearable stench. Meg Deyton recalls the wonder of AX Body Spray after middle school gym class by explaining, “It was like a haze emerging from the locker room door.”

6. Wearing Shorts All Year Long: There are record freezing temperatures outside, but oh no, that does not stop any guy from throwing on his favorite pair of shorts and continuing on with his day. Once winter rolls around, besides select occasions, girl’s legs will hardly ever be shown. We like to keep warm and wear practical clothing that will not allow us to freeze to death when walking outside for 30 seconds. I mean is it really that hard to put on some long pants? They basically are the same thing as your shorts, only made for the winter and not the summer.

5. Fixation with Lifting: What guy doesn’t want to be as buff as all of his friends and enemies too? These kinds of guys live at the gym so that they can get down to that 5% body fat and “get all of the ladies”. It’s basically a competition to see who can be the fittest one in the room. Like “Bro, do you even lift?”

4. Butt Slapping in Sports: A characteristic that accompanies every male sport is butt-slapping. This can be often seen on the field or the court as a friendly exchange between close teammates and even the occasional “bromance”. This light tap on the rear-end has been known to signify a job well done after a play in a game. When exactly did the simple exchange of words decrease in male sports and this gesture take over?

3. Fantasy Football: Months before the NFL season begins, boys already are selecting picks for the ultimate “fantasy” team. People end up playing against each other to see who can end up with the overall best squad. These teams are never actually formed, so why is it such a big deal? It makes absolutely no sense in general.

2. Need to Own the Biggest Truck: If you have ever been out in the RMA parking lot, then you know a boy’s love for his truck, especially if it’s massive in size. For some reason, boys in general have a fascination with owning the biggest truck with all the bells and whistles. For me, cars are cars, and I along with the majority of the female population may never understand this infatuation.

1. Looking So Bad After Haircuts: Most of the time when a girl has just gotten a haircut, she receives all kinds of compliments and questions about the style, color, and overall look of her new hairdo. However, this is not the case for boys at all. It is a scientific fact that the initial reaction to a boy’s haircut is not normally positive. After a few days a guy’s new haircut can end up looking great, but before then, it is a no-go for a positive outcome. Landin Johnston describes this perplexing pattern as “a question that can never be answered.”
