Survey reveals the top 20 things that baffle women about men

Number 16 is our favourite.

Despite our ongoing efforts to get to know the opposite sex better, there are still things that men will never understand about women and vice versa. The lists as far as both sexes are concerned are probably endless, but online market researchers in the UK, OnePoll, commissioned research to try and narrow down to a digestible number the things that the fairer sex don’t quite get about us menfolk. Many of the 20 things you will see below will probably instantly strike a chord, but we just can’t fathom why women can’t understand that man flu is a crippling disease and the fact that it has yet to account for a single life is just pure luck.
