Some of the funniest things about life are the things we all have in common, along with all the little differences that make us who are. No matter how much time passes, some things never change, including the ways men and women will never be the same in more ways than one. 

1. The Truth When It Comes To Shampoo

It's tough to even wonder if guys check if the shampoo they bought even smells good until right before they use it in the shower. With ladies, they want a long term relationship when they choose their shampoo and have a vetting process similar to choosing a mate. It's the truth!

2. Packing

Let's be honest here, we can all admit that most guys are short-term planners when it comes to vacation and ladies are long term planners. If you're a guy and you can't throw everything in one bag within five minutes, you need to check your head. Your girl is probably going to need that room for all of her stuff, whether you're going away for three days or two weeks. 


3. Dating Vs. Hooking Up

The difference between most single guys and girls is illustrated perfectly here—guys are looking for hook ups and ladies are already analyzing potential boyfriend material. Check your heads, fellas, because each of your expectations are going to meet reality here and she won't be afraid to tell you what she wants or how she feels.

4. Basking In The Moment

Sometimes guys aren't the greatest at reading the signs ladies provide them with, but it's probably because most men are focused on what's right in front of them, whereas ladies are always multi-tasking when it comes to where things are headed. Bless you for trying, ladies!

Shopping

When most men go to the mall they're on a mission and bust in and out like they're pulling a heist. Mission accomplished! Ladies are there to see the sights, bump into friends, check out everything and anything on sale and scope out every window display.

6. Breaking Up

Guys love to pretend like everything's fine right after a relationship comes to an end. They bottle up their emotions, pretending everything's fine and party their problems away. Ladies are usually a wreck for the first couple weeks but deal with their emotions head on and are usually better off in the long run.

7. Getting Ready To Go Out

To be fair, women typically have a lot more to deal with than men when it comes to getting ready to go out. For men, it's a three step program, where it's just shaving, showering and taking a crap. Everyone has heard the dreaded answer when asking a lady how long they'll take to get ready and they say, "I'll only be five minutes".

8. Taking A Compliment

It's pretty straightforward social arithmetic. Men take compliments, but they take them to the extreme and most women don't take compliments at all, because they usually suspect a hidden agenda. 



9. Getting Revved Up

It's pretty safe to say that most men are easy to please, but women are complex multi-faceted beings that are made up of many different emotional mechanics.  That's why there is nothing greater than being able to make a woman happy, even if it's just for a moment.

10. The Difference Between Expectations And Reality

Leave it to Einstein to crack the mystery between how the male and female minds work! It's pretty hard to think of a better way to explain this more directly than that. Einstein for the win!

11. Where Men Mistake Love For Understanding

No one could explain the dynamics of a relationship between a man and a woman quite like Oscar Wilde, and it's pretty safe to say that he pretty much nailed it!

12. Checking Out Someone They're Into

Many woman around the globe have mastered the fine art of subtlety when it comes to scoping a member of the opposite sex. Guys usually let their primal instincts kick and that's when they kick into full blown Austin Powers mode while their mojo takes over. 



13. Watching A Baby 

It probably has something to with the fact that men can't get pregnant, so naturally their relationship with children will always be different than how women interact with them. It turns out babies aren't playthings.

14. Organizing Their Work Space

Things might look like a disaster but there's usually a method to the madness and men prefer to call it "orchestrated chaos," rather than just a mess. If you actually move something, he might think it's gone forever because he can't find it with his "unique" organization method.

15. Breaking A Nail

Men don't typically pride themselves on their nails, even if they take great care of them. Between the time, energy and attention some ladies put into their nails, breaking one could be their breaking point. At that point, duck and cover, fellas.

16. Getting Their Hair Cut

Most women take better care of their hair than men take care of their cars. You know you better think fast when you get asked, "So do you notice anything new?" Do a quick scan of the current hair style and ninety-nine percent of the time the answer is somewhere in there.
