Why do men use shampoo as a body wash while there’s soap? “Because it is soapy and smells nice,” answers a commentator.

Women also do not understand why men act differently when with different groups of friends. The reason for this behavior, according to one commentator, is, “We (men) take in a situation and generally conform into one attitude because that’s the norm for that specific group.”
