View submission: What's something you never understood about the opposite gender?
I read on here once sometimes you have to look with your hands and I use that now all the time when my son says he can’t find something. It helps him a ton to remember to move things around to look!

This is a good one! I have two sons and they are the same as my Husband. If the school tie isn’t lying on the top of the drawer it’s apparently lost. Open the drawer and move things over.. there it is. I’m going to use this thanks

My mum always used to tell me this, and when in public it was 'you look with your eyes not your hands'. It really confused and annoyed me as a small child 😂

Hmm. I think you've given me the hint on why this happens a lot to me. I'm tall. When I look for things, I've just realised it's easy for my vision to be blocked off they're down low.

A while ago, someone here said their wife would yell something like “look with your women’s eyes”.
Really like that one.

It also forces you to put down the thing you were looking for so that your eyes have a chance to notice it.

That’s a great way to put it. I sometimes feel the whole “I can’t find it” is a part of weaponized incompetence though because you’re telling me that men are more likely to work with their hands for a living but can’t figure out how to use said appendage to find an item?

My problem is I'm looking with my hands in wrong places.
