One brave soul took to Reddit to pose the important question: “MEN of Reddit, what fakes would you wish women would stop doing?” Both men and women responded to the thread, with plenty of jokesters saying some dumb things, but also providing some genuine (albeit semi-sexist) answers. So what “fake” things do men find the most annoying? While some of the comments were a little over-the-top, a number of the users wanted to make their points. Push up bras? Fake orgasms? Let’s take a look at these responses and see what constitutes as “fake” right here.

#1 Social media poses.
We're all probably guilty of this, men and women alike, but according to a number of Reddit users responding to this thread, posting misleading, flattering photos to social media accounts is pretty annoying.
#2 Flattering photos.
Though the topic was brought up, a number of women responded to the thread in agreement, while some men were understanding about these types of photos. "You gotta give them credit for the effort they put in though," cheesiebutter said.

#3 Eyebrows.
"Shaving off their eyebrows and drawing them back on again," Fengolio wrote, adding, "Wtf is that even."
#4 Eyebrows.
Another, Professor01011000, agreed. "They're committed to terrible eye brows of doom. They know exactly how awful they want their eyebrows and commit to that shit. The pencil ones are worse to me. One day they're squares, the next they look like a handle bar mustache got drunk."

#5 Orgasms.
We know that faking orgasms isn't all that bad, but one Reddit user, obsessed2809, who is a woman, brought up the subject.

#6 Orgasms.
"Orgasms. Sometimes you come, sometimes you don't. It's really ok!" she explained, adding that she was a woman and, "I just find it disrespectful to do that to my partner."

#7 Lots of makeup.
We're not talking about the usual, daily amount of makeup one wears to be presentable in their own minds (which is definitely not on this list), we mean the amount of makeup that is comically over-the-top.

#8 Lots of makeup.
"The huge amount of makeup, like, you look good why are you painting your face so much??? A small amount does wonders don't feel like you need to do that," Toblergnome said.

#9 Booty-shaping.
"I will admit I've been fooled by a push up bra more than once, but those 'athleisure' pants with the built in plastic butt look super fake every time," paxilrose89 wrote.

#10 Cosmetic surgery.
"The fake t***, fake lips, fake cheeks...all that cosmetic surgery stuff is fucking disgusting. I don't know how anyone thinks they actually look good after all that nonsense when they just end up looking like a 50-something has-been porn star. Ugh," proclaims IAmWhatTheRockCooked, assumedly screaming at his computer screen.

#11 All-in-all.
While these complaints might seem valid to the submitters, if you're into your "fake" thing(s) that you do, we hope you don't feel the pressure to stop. This was really just to show you how men complain about stuff!

#12 Both sides.
User cyanocobalamin took a stand agains the thread, explaining that women have a harder time dealing with the norms that society pushes upon them. He says that the push-up bras and the other things mentioned above are almost mandatory for ladies.
#13 Both sides.
"The activities you wrote above are almost mandatory for women to be considered presentable. Those activities take up a lot more time and a lot more money," he wrote.
