10 Things Girls WISH Guys Knew
Ten things women wish men just understood, straight from a channel that built its whole feed on decoding what guys keep missing.
“10 Things Girls WISH Guys Knew” is TheThings Celebrity’s entry into the relationship-advice listicle format that dominated its channel — then still transitioning away from the TheTalko branding — through late 2016 and into January 2017. It sits in a loose trilogy with “10 Signs A Girl Likes You” and the companion video “10 Things Guys WISH Girls Knew,” each one built around the same premise: pull back the curtain on what the other side is actually thinking during a relationship, rather than guessing.
- The video is produced by TheThings Celebrity, the outlet formerly operating as TheTalko, as part of a recurring female-psychology and dating-advice listicle format.
- It’s grouped with sister titles “10 Signs A Girl Likes You” and “10 Things Guys WISH Girls Knew,” released in the same late-2016-to-early-2017 stretch.
- The core message centers on proactive communication, with the video noting that silence often gets read as a sign of conflict or hidden problems rather than nothing at all.
The Silence Problem
The single point the video leans on hardest is communication — not as a vague virtue, but as a specific behavioral fix. Going quiet, according to the breakdown, doesn’t register to most women as “he’s just busy.” It registers as something is wrong. That gap between intention and interpretation is presented as one of the most common, and most avoidable, points of friction in a relationship.
If you’re not talking to us, we assume something’s wrong.
That line, pulled straight from the list, is the thesis of the whole video. The fix isn’t complicated — check in, say what’s going on, don’t leave a partner to fill in the blanks — but the video treats it as the item guys are most likely to overlook because, from the male side, silence often just means nothing to report.
Validation Over Solutions
A second theme running through the list is the difference between fixing and listening. The video draws a line between men who hear a problem and immediately jump to solve it, and women who, according to the breakdown, frequently just want to be heard and emotionally validated first. It’s less about withholding advice and more about sequencing — listen before you problem-solve.
That distinction shows up across plenty of pop-relationship content built for the same YouTube audience TheThings Celebrity was courting in this window — the channel that also turned out breakdowns like Inside Megan Fox’s Relationship History and dating-focused pieces such as Who We Think Jason Momoa Should Date Next, both aimed at the same viewers hungry for relationship dissection content.
Effort in the Small Things
The video also spends time on maintenance — the idea that a relationship doesn’t run on autopilot after the early stage. Remembering details, checking in without being asked, and not treating a partner’s time or patience as a given all get folded into the same broader point: attention has to be active, not assumed. It’s the same logic that shows up in breakdowns of celebrity splits and reconciliations that TheThings Celebrity covered elsewhere on the channel, like its look at Signs There Was Big Trouble Brewing For Lisa Bonet And Jason Momoa — effort, or the lack of it, tends to be the tell.
Equal Footing
The list closes on partnership as a two-way street — shared decision-making, mutual respect for boundaries, and patience with the pace a relationship naturally takes. None of it is presented as revolutionary; it’s framed as common sense that gets lost in the day-to-day grind of dating, which is exactly the gap the video says it’s trying to close.
The video’s staying power came less from any single revelation than from the format itself — a companion piece practically demanded a “10 Things Guys WISH Girls Knew” counterpart, and TheThings Celebrity delivered exactly that, turning one listicle into a matched pair viewers could watch back to back.
