21 Things You May Not Know About Women

Figuring out what women want, what they’re thinking, what they’re saying, what they’re doing…can a tough one. There are so many things you guys just don’t understand. So I’ve compiled a list of what some celebrities think men don’t know about women.

1. We can scan a room faster than you can. Within sixty seconds we can spot every girl to watch out for and all the men we'd like to meet. – Carmen Electra
   


2. Best girlfriends can be very affectionate with each other. Just because we occasionally hold hands doesn't mean this thing's about to turn into Girls Gone Wild: Ultimate Spring Break. So simmer down. – Christina Applegate
   


3. When you hug a woman at the end of a date, if you have any romantic intentions whatsoever, do not ‘bro-pat’ her on the back. – Minnie Driver
   


4. Things we do not want to find in your medicine cabinet: self-tanning lotion, your ex-girlfriend's tampons, live ammunition. – Emily Deschanel
   


5. If you are poking other women, it better be on Facebook! – Debi Mazar
   


6. The secret to getting out of trouble with your girlfriend is being funny. A funny man can be forgiven for anything. (Exceptions: cheating and comb-overs.) – Kim Cattrall
   


7. When we ask you how our asses look in a particular pair of jeans, you should always be brutally honest and completely positive at the same time. How you accomplish this is up to you. – Leslie Mann
   


8. We want to raise children. We just don't want you to be one of them. – Jennifer Love Hewitt

9. We know you know where the remote control, the dry cleaning, the ski equipment, the peanut butter, the nail clippers, and the toilet paper are located in the house we both live in, so knock it off with the "Honey, could you...?" crap. – Tea Leoni
   


10. The three words every woman really longs to hear: “I'll clean up.” – Molly Shannon.
    


11. When we ask about your ex-girlfriend, the worst thing you can do is go into a lengthy explanation about who she was, what she did, what your relationship was like, etc. Regardless of how the question sounds, we're really only asking two things: “Am I hotter?” and “Am I smarter?” – Regina King
    


12. We want dessert. We want you to order dessert. What we don't want is for you to ask us if we want dessert. – Connie Britton
    


13. At least try to cry in front of us on one genuinely emotional occasion before you start bawling in front of the TV when your team wins or loses the big game. Otherwise, it just feels a little insulting, like, "He cares more about the St. Louis Bumblebees than he does about me." – Lauren Graham
    


14. When the car won't start and you do nothing but open the hood, there's a 40 percent chance it will start on the second try. Men will always act like they fixed it. We know and accept this. – Jennifer Coolidge
    


15. Some of us like cars, sports, and money. – Ellen DeGeneres

16. We have an infinite vocabulary for colors. Fuchsia is not pink, nor is it red. Khaki is not green, nor is it brown. There is more than blue and green on the color wheel. – Sandra Oh
    


17. "I don't know" means just what it sounds like: "I don't. No.". – Minnie Driver
    


18. We love your creativity. We love your imagination. We want you to make us things – a collage, a book, a photo album. Or write a poem, or a letter, or a sentence. Be brave. – Mariska Hargitay
    


19. If you suggest we go dutch on a date, we won't think you're modern, progressive, or respectful of our independence. We'll just think you're cheap. We hate cheap. – Poppy Montgomery
    


20. Women remember everything. Don't believe me? Ask your girlfriend where you met. She won't tell you it was at a party. She'll say it was a Thursday, she had just come from dinner, where she ate a veggie burger, and she was wearing her friend Cathy's pink top, which was big on her because Cathy is a big girl. You were wearing a blue button-down, drinking a Jack and Coke with two straws, and talking to Bill, that mutual friend. She waved and you gave her the "what's up" nod. This still infuriates her. ("How could you give me the nod?"). – Alyssa Milano
    


21. When we ask you how we look, it's okay to lie; when we ask you how she looks, you better lie. – Jennifer Love Hewitt
