20 Things That Women Can Do That Guys Can’t

Ask for directions

Is it because we're generally friendlier? Is it because we find it easier to talk to strangers? Or is it because our partners find it so unbearable to break through of their stubbornness to do the simple thing and ask someone for directions? We'll never know.

Distinguish colours

If you asked my partner what colour something was, he would give you one of the seven of the rainbow, nothing more than that. However, if you asked any of my women friends what colour something was, they could give you the artistic name, the pantone colour and six other things that are the same colour.

Open up entirely

It's a trick, I think, used by women to attract friends who are on a similar level to you. We don't talk about sports and the news. We, more often than not, want to talk about how something made us feel, delve into it analytically, and work out what we do next. It's why the Real Housewives exist!

Get a new last name

Image Source: Reddit

It might sound like quite an obvious one but this is one thing that women can absolutely do. Excusing gay men, no other man can go through the process of changing his name without some hurdles, while we only have to find the love of our life and secure that name!

Be a mother

Men can be fathers, but women can be mothers. They get the distinct privilege of bearing a child, walking them through their infancy and experiencing what it's like for a baby to become an adult. Mothers are some of the greatest people on the planet and it's something only women can do.

Look phenomenal in a thong

Image Source: Reddit

Mne have certainly tried (and failed), but something women can absolutely do better than men is rock a thong. Perhaps it's because we don't have any external appendages to navigate fitting into a thong, or perhaps because we know our best style. But, regardless, men can't wear thongs like women can.

Out-flirt a ticket

Not sure a man has ever been able to get away with this. If we're under threat of getting a ticket, we smile, we laugh, we maybe show a little bit of extra skin, and we have no issue flirting our way out of the ticket. Men just cannot do it like a woman can.

Wear high heels like she's barefoot

Image Source: Reddit

With the exception of RuPaul and all her drag queens, men just cannot adapt to the sophistication of a high heel. They look like baby deer, trying to get to grips with the physics of wearing a shoe like that. A woman in a high heel can do whatever she sets her mind to, and that makes us mighty.

Multitask

Men have to focus on one thing at once. Their to do list is ticked off after a couple of hours. Women, on the other hand, are absolute professionals in the work of multitasking. While the kids are being picked up from school, a woman has already scheduled her grocery delivery and paid the bills. Unstoppable.

Get a manicure

Image Source: Reddit

It's not that men can't walk into a beauty parlor and ask for a manicure, but should they? We saw the trainwreck of Sandoval's white nail polish. Manicures should be left to the dainty, lovely hands of women who are able to distinguish what colour is going to work best with their fall wardrobe.

Interview better

Image Source: Reddit

It is statistically proven that women interview better than men. While men may apply for more jobs that they're not qualified for, more women are more successful at the interview stage, having been entirely truthful on their resume, applying for a job they can do, and generally being more personable.

Produce milk

Image Source: Reddit

Of course men can't do this! They don't have the bodily mechanics to be able to pull off such an endeavor! Fun fact: even if a woman hasn't given birth to her child, the parenting she undertakes will mean that she can still produce milk. Motherhood is a powerful thing.

Cry without fear

Image Source: Reddit

If a man openly cries out in the world, he will be considered a wimp, and made to feel as though he is not a man (see toxic masculinity). But if a woman starts openly crying, it's entirely different story. Other women will stop us in the street to see if we're okay or, sometimes, we even get stuff for free!

Know exactly what to do with a crying kid

Image Source: Reddit

A man left alone with a screaming baby, tot or child would be entirely flabbergasted. He would be absolutely out of his depth. However, if a woman is left alone, she will instantly know what to do. And if that doesn't work, she'll try the next thing. She has a trick or two up her sleeve.

Be incredibly empathetic

Image Source: Reddit

Men sometimes have a struggle with this. They can't quite access empathy, even if they're comfortable with being sympathetic. Women, however, have the distinct quality of being able to access what other women are going through, relate and give some of the greatest advice.

Win an argument

Image Source: Reddit

Easier said than done but absolutely true. Men will likely not admit it but they don't know how to finish a fight, let alone win one. Women are not like that. They know the exact moment to push the button to let their partner know that they have won the argument. It is quite a thing to see, but I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end!

Grow out out locks

Image Source: Reddit

God bless the men who try to grow out their hair. I know it's difficult and you can absolutely be mocked for endeavoring to do such a thing. But why do they never use dry shampoo?! Women are better at growing out their hair because it doesn't look like a dirty hippy and they know how to keep it clean!

Have a stronger immune system

Image Source: Reddit

One of the greatest tips I ever heard is that women have a better immune system. We need 8 hugs a day to get our fix and feel comfortable, and those hugs are intrinsic in the maintenance of our immune system. Who is going to hug more? A man or a woman? I'll let you answer that one.

Get on with our day with insurmountable pain

Image Source: Reddit

Mne will never understand it. Children will never understand it. While so many women go through it, each individual experience is different and each of them can at least be guaranteed to give you an unbearable amount of pain at some juncture. Do you see us complain? Yes. But does everything get done? Of course it does!

Live longer

Image Source: Reddit

Because men are more likely to have blood pressure issues, heart issues, bad cholesterol, increased stress etc. etc., it only makes sense that women would live longer! They have a better immune system, know how to take care of themselves and others, and are pretty much unstoppable!

Score higher on an IQ test

Image Source: Reddit

I hate to say it (I don't want to start any arguments for a woman to win!) but women are generally smarter than men. It has been studied that women will most likely score better on an IQ test than a man. Doesn't it make it even more confusing as to how they run everything?!

Look sexy in a bikini

Image Source: Reddit

Much like wearing a thong, men can certainly try and I'm sure it would actually be very cute if they did. But women are undoubtedly sexier, cuter and more at ease in a bikini than a man. It's one of the few items of clothing made for women that is a tour de force no matter who you are.

Blame it on PMS or menopause

Image Source: Reddit

We might have to live with the unbearable pain of periods and menopause and other bodily functions everyday, but that doesn't mean we can't complain about it. The number of events, lunches, classes I have managed to get out of because of my period? It almost makes it worth it.

Hold hands with our friends

Image Source: Reddit

If two men held hands in a public space, it would be lovely, don't get me wrong, but you would instantly assume they were interested in each other. Women, on the other hand, don't have to worry about that! They get to hold their friends' hands with no repercussions or assumptions.

Smell better (in both senses)

Image Source: Reddit

I'm joking (to a degree)! Women do tend to smell better because we have more two available scents to choose from, but it is also proven that women have a better sense of smell. It's one of the reasons we struggle with our smell during pregnancy. We can smell the slight differences of everything. |t's a blessing and a curse.

Flirt with the bouncer

Image Source: Reddit

This one is a fun one! We, as women, have the distinct pleasure of flirting with the bouncer! It means that we get to cut queues, have an opportunity to flirt, and sometimes it can lead to certain special treatments in the club. It sure beats standing in line for hours!

Be a cougar

Image Source: Reddit

An older man dating a young woman always feels a little bit dirty. It's not their fault - it's just how we're programmed to see things in the 21st century. However, an older woman dating a younger guy? There is something so liberating, so free in that idea and it's certainly one we're here for.

Get aroused in secret

Image Source: Reddit

Sorry for a slightly cruder one but it's entirely true. If you were in a crowded room with a mixture of the sexes, you would instantly be able to tell if any one of the men became aroused. However, women, due to their internal structure, can remain aroused totally privately.

Fake it

Image Source: Reddit

I would know if my partner faked it. There's a very obvious sign that something has been faked. However, women have the possibility to fake it. We've all been in a position where we might just want to the experience to end, or a guy is trying really hard. There's no judgement. We've got it kushty!

Have multiple Os

Image Source: Reddit

Another slightly dirtier one: women are scientifically proven to be able to have more orgasms than men in a single session. They don't have to wait for their libido to increase or for certain appendages to reload. Women get to have fun no matter where they are in the number of Os they're having and that's pretty delightful!
