There’s no doubt moving in with the opposite sex accelerates a relationship. Suddenly there’s nowhere to hide and all your weird secret behaviours are exposed.
This works both ways. Moving in with a guy can be…err…an enlightening experience.
True, not all men are the same but they tend have different ways of doing things. What seems logical to them may be totally foreign to you, like never making the bed or stripping and leaving piles of clothes in random places so it looks like human men have evaporated everywhere.
A recent thread on Reddit discussed the highs, lows and surprising truths moving in with a guy brings.
Here are some of our favourites:
Emo cleanse
‘I learned that sometimes when a man is very very hungover he will take a sad sitting down shower.’
Laundry rules
‘They have different “rules” about things. A shirt is not dirty unless it’s smelly, wet, or has fresh stains on it. They’ll wear it again before choosing to wash it.’
Man debris
‘Pockets must be emptied of all spare change and small pieces of garbage immediately after coming in the door, and deposited in random caches around the house.’
Genital hazards
‘I learned that when taking a dump their penis can accidentally touch the rim of the toilet bowl.’
Which apparently is called: a witch’s kiss.

Paperwork
Pooping time is sacred and a great time to catch up on the news and browse some reddit.
Compliments to the chef
‘I found out how awesome it is to wear his shirts, and have someone to tell me my cooking is good.’
Golden shower
‘I learned that men can have a lot of dribble after they pee.’
Bladder of steel
‘That he can sit in front the computer/video games from morning ‘til it’s dark out without once getting up to pee, make food or turn on the bloody lights.’

Fuel requirements
‘They don’t need 3 meals a day. They just need a giant meal once or twice.’
Home truths
‘My girlfriend made me realise how much I play with my balls during the day.’
Are you just pleased to see me?
‘Morning wood. I thought that was a joke/urban legend. It’s so real. I was actually surprised when I learned they don’t always mean a guy is up for it. Passive boners are a thing apparently.’
Different priorities
‘Making the bed every morning is not required, it’s a waste of time.’
Great unsolved mysteries
‘Why the massive bucket of loose change???’
Partners in crime
‘I love having a perpetually available adventure buddy. Even if I just want to go to the grocery store, he’s always willing to come with me.’

No two created equal
‘Well the first surprise was moving in with my Dad and I was shocked that he never cleaned or cooked, had a maid for cleaning and ate out for every single one of his meals. The second surprise was moving in with my significant other. Shocked to learn he is incredibly clean, able and willing to cook. So I guess the thing I learned that would have been surprising to me as a teen is that all men are just as variable as women are.’
