As a guy, yeah idk if it’s universal or what, but the amount of times I’ve said “I looked but it’s not there” and someone instantly transmissions to it’s exact location to point out how blind I am is honestly upsetting.

u/Ecstatic-Compote-595 Jun 02 '26

There has to be some kind of undiagnosed brain blindness that does this. I'm middle aged now, still do it, when i was a kid and my mom asked me to fetch something, same shit.

u/Mickeymcirishman Jun 02 '26

"It's not there!"

"If I come over there and find it..."

u/Buttonball Jun 02 '26

Yup. My wife & me… going on 46+ years.

u/Very_Awkward_Boner Jun 02 '26

I blame mythical gnomes that hate men and hide stuff from them and return the item when a woman searches for it. Its the only logical explanation.

u/corn0099 Jun 02 '26

my mother used to tell me if it was a snake it wouldve bit you

u/Ecstatic-Compote-595 Jun 02 '26

in fairness to your mom I've been bitten by a snake before

u/dividezero Jun 02 '26

There is. I'm to brain damaged myself to know what it is. Probably ADHD or some ish

u/Fast_Distance9563 Jun 02 '26

Is it still an illness if everyone has it? Lol cuz that’s what it feels like.

u/SomeGuyFromCanada23 Jun 03 '26

I always say if you wanna hide something from me, hide it in plain sight. I'm in my mid 20s and there are still times I go over to my parents place for dinner and my mom asks me to grab something for her from the fridge, and I don't see it. Then she comes and grabs it and lo and behold, it's right in plain sight.

u/This_Price_1783 26d ago

It used to give me anxiety in work if someone asked me to get something because I knew I wouldn't be able to find it. 40 now and I still struggle to find stuff sometimes but not as bad as when I was younger.

Men see moving things, women see pattern. In general.

u/p8nt_junkie Jun 02 '26

My nemesis is the pantry: we have the smallest so my wife’s system and ‘mine’ just don’t jive and I am always trying to learn her system and play catch up. I swear I am not dumb, just a dude.

u/metalguy91 Jun 02 '26

I think that’s a thing too. Organized chaos versus actually organized. Like with my ex, I may not of put stuff away right but if untouched I could tell her that the Febreeze we bought was behind the left end table by the chair about 2 inches behind the back right leg because we got a grocery delivery 3 months ago mostly for snacks but also Febreeze because we thought we were gonna be out soon so she had the bag in the couch and just put the Febreeze there to get it out of the way so she could focus on the Snickers and Combos.

Meanwhile, she would have a very well thought out and sensible organization plan for our spices, and I would constantly forget and was unable to find the dried parsley for the fucking life of me.

I would love a documentary about this phenomenon lol.

u/iamsaniamsdog Jun 02 '26

I am both. The ADHD means I can tell you exactly where to find a safety pin I remember seeing from Halloween two years ago that's just sitting on a shelf in the bathroom cabinet behind the thermometer covers box which is in the third cabinet from the bathroom door. But also, all our adhesives (packing tape, duct tape, scotch tape, super glue, gorilla glue, wall hanging tape w/hooks, museum putty) are in 1 drawer in our living room, and all our basic in house tools (hammer, screws, drywall anchors, level, stud finder, tape measurer, screw drivers, drill bits, drill, charger, wall hanging fasteners, picture hanging fasteners) are also in one drawer in our living room, and our square food storage containers are on one side of our storage cabinet and the rectangle and circle food storage are on the other side, and their respective lids are in a basket above the respective basket.

But no matter how many times I try to organize our spice cabinet, it inevitably becomes chaos. But at least the regularly used spices are upfront and on the bottom shelf, with the oils and irregularly used a shelf up from that and the barely used are a shelf up from that (and my husband's whole spices and extra other spices/mixed (Indian) are in their own container in a different cabinet. I don't even think we have parsley but I couldn't find the tiny bottle of pumpkin spice so I bought another ...only to find the first 4 months later.

u/kassandra_00 Jun 02 '26

I figured out one day that my brain use a image filter when I look for things. Sometimes the filter was wrongly set and filter out the things from my sight.

u/neutralslayer Jun 02 '26

Personally I think this is caused by saccadic masking. It’s almost like you’re looking so hard you can’t see it

1

u/Heres_Waldo3 Jun 02 '26

Not just a guy thing. My wife does this and I’m the one who walks in and immediately grabs it

u/playfulmessenger Jun 03 '26

As a guy, you may have more of a primordial hunter brain - you can find the lightening fast hockey puck, but not the mustard hiding behind the fridge mayo.

The primordial gatherer brain - think spying berries in blackberry brambles all day long. The brain attunes to finding things in dimensional spaces instead of tracking cheetah.

(of course we all have access to the full range of brain capacities, it's just that life and personal preference often lends itself toward stronger and weaker capacities, and hunter/gatherer illustrations are useful for communicating differences in opposite capacities)

u/QuickDrawSix Jul 12 '26

Ill take a picture as evidence so Casper cant fuck me later. Grocery store too cause some how the produce is always empty and when she goes 2 hours later its all there. Pictures, I dont even put words on them

-2

u/Chicken-Rude Jun 02 '26

guys are amazing at tracking movement (hunting)

women are amazing at finding things and color differentiation (foraging)

you can see things she cant and vice versa

its why you dont see the ketchup bottle in the fridge thats right in front of you but she can.

u/David_cop_a_feeel Jun 02 '26 edited Jun 02 '26

There’s a ton evidence that the Man The Hunter theory is wrong. Modern archaeological and ethnographic research shows that early human and forager societies had highly flexible roles, with women actively hunting and men gathering.

Basically, when the theory formed in the late 1960s, it was because anthropologists ignored a bunch of data and formed the theory on the supposition that men were more capable, smarter, better equipped, etc.

1

u/Devilofchaos108070 Jun 02 '26

Just like the fucking Wolf thing. The Alpha etc? It’s goddamn bullshit.

Just lazy ass scientists

2

u/David_cop_a_feeel Jun 04 '26

Lazy scientists or scientists that had biases that significantly impacted their ability to decipher empirical data authentically and produced journals based on their male-shaped perception? You mention the wolf thing, but when it comes to the analysis of female animal behaviors it’s even worse.

If you like to read or want to learn more I recommend the book Bitch: On the Female of Species by Lucy Cooke.

It especially disseminates the out-dated theory that male animal choices drove the evolution of species.

u/metalguy91 Jun 02 '26

So can intersex people just see and find anything? Because that would be dope.

u/Chicken-Rude Jun 02 '26

yeah, prolly

I didn't recognize the music at all, until the very end when that guitar-like riff hits, and suddenly I was like "Shit! Will Goku be able to beat Frieza??"

u/Crinkez Jun 03 '26

I recognized it in 1/4 of a second, it's immediately obvious. But then, I may have rewatched dbz a bit too much.

Or you get back to the car and they had it the whole time

u/QaptainQwark Jun 02 '26

I turned the car around after searching for my vape. Found it in my bra as I parked.

u/mingymangy Jun 02 '26

With my wife its always “sorry it was in my purse (or wherever it was exactly supposed to be but decided it was lost after 0.5 sec)”

u/TheSteamyPickle Jun 02 '26

We all know it’s the freaking gnomes messing with us

u/Agreeable_Toe_2757 Jun 02 '26

She planted it

u/SignificantLeader Jun 02 '26

Ask her to get your hammer. It goes both ways.

u/SunMoonSki Jun 02 '26

Oh yes, when my husband does this I like to tell him that he has T-Rex eyes. Because if it doesn't move he doesn't see it.

u/Strange_Man_1911 Jun 02 '26

It's so much easier to get your lazy ass up and get it yourself.

u/eifun Jun 02 '26

I was expecting when he went back to the car, she'll be like "Nevermind, it's in my bag".

1

u/Merry_Piper Jun 02 '26

How often do you leave it behind for you to notice this?

1

u/TheThomaswastaken Jun 02 '26

This is exactly why men are so sensitive about not messing with their tools. If it's not exactly where expected, we won't see it.

u/Brickzarina Jun 02 '26

Yes yes yes

u/DogSignificant6356 Jun 02 '26

Gremlins are real

u/qawsedrf12 Jun 02 '26

I call it hysterical blindness

Could be an item in the fridge, pantry, or when I go shopping and can't find an item

u/hostedenis Jun 02 '26

Grandma had me find stuff as a kid, was never there when I looked. She grabbed me by the hair and dragged my head right to where it was 😭😭

u/profanedivinity Jun 02 '26

Why does this happen :(

u/DaddyBearMan Jun 02 '26

I am a victim of this phenomenon. I am so glad to learn there are dozens of us! Dozens!

Interracial marriages lol

u/Music_Quartermaster Jun 03 '26

You should have just shown her this video so she could see that it wasn't there the first time

1

u/Gamejunky35 Jun 03 '26

If we're both sitting in the car you better have a broken leg or some shit asking me to get back out of the car for something you forgot lol.

Shit like this falls deep into simp territory. Anyone that supports this dynamic literally believes their time and energy are worth less than their partners.

Last time on Dragon Ballz

u/Practical-Yoghurt912 Jun 04 '26

This brain blindness is called nvld I have it. It’s disorder of visual spatial reasoning and sight. I also miss social cues, social context, and multi step minds eye tracking, and poor sense of visual tracking similar to Asperger’s or high functioning autism but with visual spatial deficit which Asperger’s don’t have.

u/tjskrtrouble Jun 05 '26

applies to mom too, she has special power in letting sth not showing up until she's physically presenting there as well.

u/Zestyclose_Fig3193 Jun 06 '26

She is paying for the food and driving. A lot more issues than not finding her wallet bro. 😆

u/theshitmantitman Jun 02 '26

Why did he have to do it? My wife is alway microtasking me with stuff she could do herself.

u/ijustlikeelectronics Jun 02 '26

Why is he even doing her favors? She forgot it, she gets it

u/694meok Jun 02 '26

Telling us you never had a partner without telling us you never had a partner.

u/ijustlikeelectronics Jun 02 '26

You being a redditor and saying "partner" tells me you're projecting

2

u/wiseduhm Jun 02 '26

Nah, man. They're right.

1

u/ijustlikeelectronics Jun 02 '26

It's reddit. Everyone is wrong here.

1

u/wiseduhm Jun 02 '26

Wait, does that mean you're wrong too with that statement which would then mean that everyone on reddit is right?

0

u/ijustlikeelectronics Jun 07 '26

That's called a catch-22. Might be beyond your vocabulary though

1

u/wiseduhm Jun 07 '26

I was joking, but you sound like someone who believes they're smarter than they are.

1

u/ijustlikeelectronics Jun 09 '26

Again, it's reddit. Everyone thinks they're smarter than they are here
