What guys can?t understand about girl friends, and vice versa

goo Ranking took a look at what guys can?t understand about female friendships and what girls can?t understand about male friendships.

Demographics

Over the 6th and 7th of March 2013 1,083 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 56.7% of the sample were female, 11.6% in their teens, 15.0% in their twenties, 24.9% in their thirties, 24.7% in their forties, 12.7% in their fifties, and 11.1% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.

My wife does most of the things in Q1, and I don?t understand them at all either, so I?m glad to see it?s not just a cultural gap that I?m experiencing!
