Five things men WISH women knew!

So you've read tons of guide books on understanding men and you still don't seem to know how they function? We asked a few male celebrities about the five things they wish women knew -- read on as they reveal a few secrets of the male mind!

It's so infuriating when you're talking to your boyfriend and he's busy watching some football match on TV, right? And how does that wet towel always end up on the bed anyway!

Well, ladies, it could be that you don't know all you should about the opposite sex -- so we got them to tell you directly

1. We are stupider than you. We know this. Hence, we overcompensate by behaving like idiots, reinforcing the cycle of stupidity. We urge you not to take this for granted.

2. When you give us the silent treatment when you're angry about something without telling us what it is, we usually enjoy the silence.

3. We are really emotional people...about Sachin's century, Rooney's missed goal and that sweaty old tee-shirt. Do not break our bonds with those things or we can also get emotional about axes (and exes!).

4. We have absolutely no clue what the hell fashion is all about. This doesn't mean you dress us up as nerds, because we know exactly why you would do that -- because, you think other women will look at us. They don't anyway, so stop worrying and make us look good.

5. We actually do remember dates. Give us some credit. We all have Facebook calendars. Otherwise we have no clue.

And here's a bonus:

6. If you tell us to do something, don't get impatient if it isn't done three minutes later. Men take time with their errands. So, just stop rushing us -- we'll get that milk from the store sometime in March 2012. There's a golf thing on!

1. We aren't being stubborn when we say that we don't need you to give us directions while we're driving. We can figure it out ourselves. I always end up turning right when my wife says 'left'!

2. You should stop telling yourselves and us that you have a sixth sense. We say it's not sixth sense, it's called imagination!

3. We would love it if you knew when to stop arguing and start discussing.

4. 'You've lost weight' does not mean 'you were fat earlier'! So please spare us the 'Am I fat?' questions because we doubt there's ever a perfect answer for that.

5. Most importantly, we wish you had a 'pause' button!

'Accept our sheer love for gadgets!'

1. We genuinely don't know any better than women.

2. Accept our sheer love for gadgets and stop complaining about us not having enough time for you. We just share a special relationship with our gadgets!

3. Before leaving for a party, the outfit you try on for the first time out of ten is usually the best one. So stop taking forever to get ready because we hate waiting!

4. Women are no doubt the superior sex. We completely agree!

5. Last of all, you must know that your wish for us to know you better will always remain a wish!

1. We aren't made of sto#8800 we have emotions too, contrary to what women think. We might not express our feelings like you do, but that doesn't mean we're heartless.

2. If you think sex, food and sleep are all we think about, then you're highly mistaken because there are a lot of other things we have in mind!

3. You'll be happy to know that we do think with our heads and not with a certain part of our bodies.

4. We are pretty protective by nature. However, that mustn't be misunderstood as being possessive.

5. We love our PlayStations, cars and sports just the way you love your shoes and bags! So let us indulge in them peacefully whenever we wish to.

'We love you, but expecting us to say it day and night is a little too much!'

1. Stop ranting about us not listening to you, because we do. We prefer just listening to the 'important' things you have to say quietly.

2. We know how to manage our cupboards and we can handle the household work too.

3. We love you, but expecting us to say it day and night is a little too much! We have other things to think about as well.

4. We enjoy driving. Don't spoil it by asking us to drive slow or telling us to take a left or right. Just sit back and enjoy the drive. We would love that too!

5. Women aren't always right. So just accept your fault when you have to, instead of prolonging the argument and we'll do the same.

1. Men are like puppies. They might not say it, but they love to be pampered and cared for just like women do.

2. We don't expect you to change, so we hope you don't pester us to do something about our annoying little habits too!

3. We love spending time with you, but we also need to hang out with our guy friends. Whether it's watching football or playing video games -- male bonding is a must for us!

4. Don't give us those looks if you catch us sniffing during an emotional movie. We are also allowed to get emotional at times.

5. Don't ask us about how many girlfriends we've had. We'd appreciate it if you let go our past and let it remain where it is!
