Admit it, you have a ton of questions you've always wanted to ask a member of the opposite sex, but haven't been able to. Perhaps you never have the balls (see what I did there?) to ask, or it wasn't an appropriate question, or you just don't know anyone to ask. Whatever the reason, you are not alone. Turns out, loads of people have these questions and a Reddit thread has kindly collated them all, so you can peruse through and see the answers to some of the most commonly thought of questions for the opposite sex.

As much as we may hate to admit, we all know that the sun shines down on people who are good looking. Judging people by their looks is never the right answer, but unfortunately, handsome people get further in life. People are attracted to attractive people, it's just fact. An AskReddit thread asked people what things are cool if you're handsome, but creepy if you're ugly, and the answers reveal just how much life truly favors beauty.
Being super-wealthy (and we're talking Jeff Bezos the founder of Amazon kind of wealthy), has its perks - the most obvious being that you can buy whatever you want, whenever you want. But one of the lesser-known hardships of being one of the richest men in the world is that it's actually harder than you think to spend that sort of money. A hilarious Twitter thread by Metro UK shows just how difficult it is to spend Bezos' net worth, which happens to be $189.3 billion. Read on and laugh, and be grateful that you don't have such a struggle in your life...
We all know that getting enough sleep is crucial for living a productive life. We grow up being told to get eight hours of sleep so that we can have an effective and productive day ahead, but there is a lot more to it than that. Someone has listed all of the negative health effects caused by lack of sleep and they are, quite frankly, alarming. I know that I certainly don't get anywhere near enough sleep, but after reading this Twitter thread, things are changing as of tonight! Scroll down and educate yourselves on why sleep is so important.

And when we say nonstop, we mean nonstop. Trade lawyer, @scottlincicome, tweeted "Nobody tells you parenthood is basically an infinite series of petty negotiations," and it struck a chord in many parents who then shared their own recent petty negotiations with their kids.
Redditor, u/skopein, asked a simple question in the subreddit 'r/AskReddit,' -- "Why do you like to be alive?"
That beautiful question sparked 34 thousand beautiful responses!
If you needed a reminder as to why life is worth living, there are 20+ reasons from everyday people, just like you and I.
Yikes. We've got some real foodisaster winners up in here!
To be fair, cooking can rather difficult and most people should be practicing their skills (you know who you are!), 'cause practice makes perfect!
On the other hand... a lot of these just seem like common sense.
Either way, we thoroughly enjoyed reading these and are thankful that even though we aren't that great of cooks... we know not to dump a can of spaghetti sauce into the boiling water.
AskReddit is at it again, asking insightful and thoughtful questions that turn into fantastic threads!
This time, user u/imconfusedbro1 is asking, "People who shoved their school papers in their backpacks with no binder/folder etc, Where are you now?"
Anyone else feel personally attacked? OK, good. I'm not alone.

Andrew Kimmel, a man who decided to use some miles to maintain a certain status with American Airlines, booked a $400 flight to Mexico and had quite the unforgettable experience.
When you fly so often, you often rack up some travel perks in the form of mileage and more. Kimmel is an avid flyer, flying up to three times a week when working in news and twice a week working as a reality producer. Both jobs required Kimmel to travel all over the United States. And whenever he had time off, he would plan trips out of the country.
Last year, Kimmel had obtained the status of 'Executive Platinum' with American Airlines. Such a status gave him three free checked bags, top of the list for complimentary upgrades on all domestic flights, free same-day flight changes and four free system-wide upgrades. Meaning, if you were flying economy to Asia, you would be able to use one system-wide upgrade that would bump you to business. So what would essentially start as an $800 economy ticket could end up being a $5,000 business class seat.
Recently, American Airlines changed what it takes to hold the 'Executive Platinum' status. To achieve the 'Executive Platinum' status you once had to spend $12K a year on flights (pre-tax), now you must spend $15K a year to maintain the status.
In a Twitter thread, Kimmel shared his insane and unbelievable story when traveling to Mexico:
An apocalyptic blood-red sky looms over Australian as the fires rage on.
One Twitter user, Dr. Bodie Ashton, has gone in-depth on how truly devastating this crisis is, mapping it out for those outside, or even in a different part of Australia and cannot fully comprehend the severity of it all.
It's been a rocky start to 2020, we can only hope this isn't a set-tone for the rest of the year.
We continue to pray for Australia during these hard times.
The justice system has failed many, many unfortunate souls. Including Willie Simmons, who was sentenced to life without parole, in 1982, for stealing $9.
Investigative journalist Beth Shelburne has brought Simmons' story into the spotlight when sharing this man's story via Twitter. Not only was Willie Simmons sentenced to life for something so ridiculous, but he has also been and still is currently imprisoned in one of the most notorious prisons in Alabama.
Alabama Legislature passed something called the "Habitual Felony Offender Act" to crack down on repeat criminals, back in 1977. And journalist Shelburne is here to shed some light on just some of the injustice created by this "Habitual Felony Offender Act."
How would you describe color to a blind person? Do you describe the emotions usually felt with each color? Things that are associated with said color? Do you have a cultural interpretation for each color?
There doesn't seem to be a right or wrong answer but it's definitely interesting to read what people have come up with that describes colors for them.
