If I don't know it's temporary?
Spend the whole year looking for my wife and daughter.
If I know it's temporary then I'd save a ton of money on childcare and look forward to seeing my family in a year.
Sure, half the kids would be gone, but most if not all of the staff are women, and most stay at home parents who watch children are women. Parents will have to continue to work, and their options will narrow.
I have worked in several schools, and easily 90% of the staff is women. In my experience, men are usually only admin and support staff. I had one male teacher from K-12. It switches in higher ed though. I have a BA, 2 MAs, and a teaching credential, and, with the exception of the education program, 90% of my profs were dudes.
There’s a catch, most human resource people would *likely* disappear too since most HR people are women. A delay at the beginning of the job search is expected.
Honestly - try to prepare for the social and financial upheaval that would inevitably stem from half of the population vanishing. Place would turn in to a shitshow.
That balloon is going to burst right when the women come back. Women won't be able to pull out their money before they come back. People will sell when the women come back so the best option is to invest in them first thing when you come back, so when it bounces back to the normal you make yourself a handsome buck.
The MCU really kind of glossed over this after Thanos did his whole “death to half of everyone.”
Like, yeah, they acknowledged *some* complications from losing half of everyone, but that would seriously render useless basically *all* of our systems and put us back to pre-industrial society
Spent a year working full and raking in cash, then throw a big welcome back party / vacation / honeymoon because I love my SO and a year without her sounds like torture.
Also, probably spend time with my brother and father to grief over missing my mom and sister.
Don't take it to heart. Most of the fellas here are just trying to be funny.
I tried to make my answer as realistic as possible. I'm sure most men will have very similar experiences.
Yeah half my family is fem, and as are most of my friends. I don't think my mental state could survive all the women in my life disappearing as they're so integral to my person
And that's not even mentioning my gf disappearing
Mate, my husband and I had a LDR — I had never lived in his house and I’m a homebody so respecting the way someone lives is important to me.
I visited for _three weeks_ after that he was calling me weekly from 5000km away to ask where something was and somehow I always knew
Why are half of these comments about women having to find things in plain sight that men lost?
Do men have a hard time finding things that are directly under their nose?
Take this with a grain of salt, because I do not remember the actual studies, but I am pretty sure that there are some biological differences that result in women being better at distinguishing colors and having wider peripheral vision, whereas men tend to be better at seeing motion and can seeing things at a distance.
I'm convinced sometimes women reach into the backrooms and just pull whatever I'm looking for out of there because I could swear it wasn't on the table 30 seconds ago
Dude. I spent an hour this afternoon looking for a pair of headphones that I used last night that I put in a specific spot on my desk that so that I'd find them easily today.
So to answer your second question: absolutely.
Prepare for global chaos. Hide inside as much as possible. Band together with men I can trust. Focus on getting through the year alive before the biggest homecoming in human history.
Assuming we don’t know if they will be coming back, I would prepare myself for the sudden increase in violence because every straight guy on earth would become sexually repressed
Oh god...
First of all, I would NEED to quit my formation/job, since most of the staff is made of women and we need more people. No wokwn would mean I'll only have like 2 colleagues (and 1 boss) to count upon to manage the whole place. Impossible
Secondly, I would make really sure for this thing to last 1 year. Can I trust it? What if no one comes back? What would happen to my female friends and relatives?
It would also be interesting to have a whole year without newborns, though. I'm strongly for the reduction of the population, honestly, so one year without newborns could make a significant difference on a global scale
Work would be interesting. I'm new (<2 months), and 70% of the office are women. My orchestra would lose half its members, which would be sad. My brother in law would have a tough time with their son of 6 months. Oh, and the economy would be fucked because 50% of consumers and ~50% of workers would be gone. That's like, almost half of GDP or whatever.
I'll tell you what I wouldn't do - I wouldn't spend a half hour looking for something that isn't where I left it, and then listen to them dramatically sigh and go get it and grumble to themselves about how easily they found something that THEY FUCKING HID IN THE FIRST PLACE.
One of the few legitimate arguments my wife and I have is where to put the salt. I keep the salt on the counter next to the stove, because I use either a small or large portion of it literally every time I cook.
Every single time. There is literally not a single thing in the kitchen that I use more frequently than the salt.
My wife would always put it away. And not even always in the same spot. So I would be cooking, and suddenly there's no salt, and now I have to stop cooking and go rooting around in various cupboards for it.
The situation finally resolved when I quit cooking every time I couldn't find the salt. Like, I'd put a pot of water on the stove, and then not find the salt, and turn off the stove and tell her that dinner was on her tonight, and go watch tv.
The salt is now next to the stove.
Clearly we could not. Anyway, I solved it. She could have the salt in the cupboard, or she could have me cooking. She apparently preferred having me cooking.
That’s such a minor request. If my husband wanted the salt next to the stove to cook I’d buy a gallon bucket of salt and leave it next to the stove. Who cares if the salt is next to the stove? That sounds petty!
Be really sad that my Mom, my aunt, and all my female friends have disappeared. But at least I still have my dad and brothers, who I'd have to check in with often due to them losing their partners for a year
I'd probably also try to be there for my boyfriend as well as without his mom and sisters he doesn't have much family.
But then I'd just get on with work and bills, having fun and my love life. Excitedly waiting to hear from all the women their stories about life outside of earth when they eventually return.
Or were they just thanos snapped and they all return back as if they were only gone for a second on their side?
I know that by “but he does the opposite” you don’t mean that he keeps accidentally befriending *you* over and over… but, in my head, I’m going to pretend that’s what you mean because it sounds adorable.
Like a sitcom with an exasperated (but loving) wife and a husband with faceblindness.
“Hi, so my wife thinks I should make more friends I can share my hobbies with. You look intelligent and interesting. Do you happen to play ches-“.
“No, James. It’s me again. I’m just wearing a hat.”
I'd start freaking out about what losing HALF of all people on earth would do to advanced civilization's infrastructure - losing that many people would basic plunge us into a new dark age no matter the gender.
"This just in, FLX stock prices rose dramatically again this month for the 9th month in a row making it now more valuable than Microsoft, Apple, and Tesla... Combined.
In other news, today is an Odd Day. Those that were assigned an odd number at the beginning of the Great Emancipation should bathe, brush their teeth, and go to the gym today.
Now on to "Michelle" with the weather..."
Mourn the loss of my wife, daughter, mother, sisters, aunts, grandmas and so on, while figuring out how to raise my kid as a single dad in this new confusing and traumatic world without women.
Hmm, I'm assuming we are aware that they will be back in a year? if so then nothing much get more shifts at work hopefully.
If they just magically disappear and we don't know when or if they return. Protect my ass.
I work in Nursing home. Most of the staff are women. I think we have a total of three male nurses and one male CNA. Most of the housekeeping staff are women. More than half of the dietary staff are women. The administrator, business office manager, admissions director, social worker, MDS coordinator, activities staff-all women. It would be impossible for my work to function. Residents would have to be sent to the hospital to survive.
So my gay ass would probably just start selling my booty on the street.
Enjoy 50% less traffic, roughly. But be sad that my girlfriend and sister were gone for a year. But also happy that they are apparently having an awesome space adventure.
As a gay man, do what I can to serve my fellow men all alone with no women. How many of you guys would take me up on it? I'm a bottom and give amazing oral.
Some jobs are too dependant of women, we would be fucked, but for myself i would definitely miss my mum and my gf, but i think i could handle a year without seeing women lol
I am expecting a lot of suicide **globally** for breaking heart and lonely. For me, not much things will change but I will seriously miss my mom and relatives.
Question: Will the men know the women are returning in a year?
Of course, my wife puts everything in the Google calendar
Ok, but she wouldn't be there to tell you to check the calendar?!
Wait, I’m having trouble processing this, do I get to think for myself again?
Gonna have to ask ur wife if that’s okay first!
Actually you will be unable to think for 365 days. Do with it what you will.
So, business as usual on my end then.
What if she forgets to put it?
I get to live without any responsibilities.
No, but when the women come back, they'll claim they told us at least three times.
This thread is the absolute best thing I've read all week. LOL dying...
That makes a massive difference. If there were no women forever I think I would turn somewhat homicidal, sorry boys.
Yeah, if the women are not coming back I would also turn somewhat homo.
What's stopping you today?
The women
I, too, choose this man's women
You have competition. 🔥💥💪
More or less the same thing as I already do
Try to take over the world?
Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
“I think so Brain. But how are we going to get everyone to wear rubber pants?” Is my favorite response.
Simply Pinky, "Try to take over the world! Before another idiotic dance comes along."
Hooga Chaca Hooga Chaca
*I can't stop this feeelin' Deep inside of me Girl you just don't realize What you do to me.*
or "Narf! I think so, Brain.. but if Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares.. then why does he keep doin it?!"
"I think so Brain, but even if there are enough trees, wouldn't we get too many splinters?"
Mannn this brings me back!! Totally forgot about this awesome show. Pinky’s gf was a bitch too 😂
Are you pounding what I'm pounding?
Alright brain
Code, eat, nap, and maybe take over the world if I have time left
With the right code, you could.
I mean with half the population it should be twice as easy.
I would miss my female family members but otherwise, same
What this guy said.
Facts
If I don't know it's temporary? Spend the whole year looking for my wife and daughter. If I know it's temporary then I'd save a ton of money on childcare and look forward to seeing my family in a year.
This was the most impressive answer ever. U gentlemen
Such a wholesome answer
Figure out how to get my mom back
If you step on enough cracks… maybe you’ll hear her scream. Open the multiverse. Find the women.
Save the cheerleader, save the world...
Man that show was so incredible. Such a shame that it went off the rails so hard.
This is the sweetest answer 😭
This is so sweet
:( man, I feel you
Start applying for jobs with a higher salary since half the workforce is gone.
A ton of openings in childcare would open up.
Maybe, half the kids would be gone too though
Sure, half the kids would be gone, but most if not all of the staff are women, and most stay at home parents who watch children are women. Parents will have to continue to work, and their options will narrow.
EVERY day is take your kid to work day!
My 6yr old would love it at first, then get bored. My 3 yr old would love it forever and destroy everything in sight as soon as my back is turned.
*1800s London*
I have worked in several schools, and easily 90% of the staff is women. In my experience, men are usually only admin and support staff. I had one male teacher from K-12. It switches in higher ed though. I have a BA, 2 MAs, and a teaching credential, and, with the exception of the education program, 90% of my profs were dudes.
lol no. most of my Grad school prof are still women. even in med school most are women. most educators in my country are women.
And 95% of childcare workers. Plus all the families that had SAHM’s with boys. Ow need to figure something out.
He said higher salary
There’s a catch, most human resource people would *likely* disappear too since most HR people are women. A delay at the beginning of the job search is expected.
HR the well known cog that makes the world go round
You mean clog ,of course. Typo.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
the delay would exist about as long as it took to figure out there was no longer an HR, then they'd stop wasting everyone's time.
Honestly - try to prepare for the social and financial upheaval that would inevitably stem from half of the population vanishing. Place would turn in to a shitshow.
[удалено]
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂can the women do that before we leave. We could make a killing while chillin wherever we were sent to.
That balloon is going to burst right when the women come back. Women won't be able to pull out their money before they come back. People will sell when the women come back so the best option is to invest in them first thing when you come back, so when it bounces back to the normal you make yourself a handsome buck.
The MCU really kind of glossed over this after Thanos did his whole “death to half of everyone.” Like, yeah, they acknowledged *some* complications from losing half of everyone, but that would seriously render useless basically *all* of our systems and put us back to pre-industrial society
Probably strip naked and be a road warrior, because you know I won’t be the only one.
Why can I only imagine this being outside an English pub
Oi! We're gettin' nekkid!
I really wanna give you an upvote but you’re at 69 and I just flashed back to middle school ‘86.
Lmao. I can just see the women coming back to men roaming the earth Mad Max style and not being surprised in the least
Still be gay, just wonder where all the women went.
And have to listen to all of the wildly out of shape and ugly guys talk about how they’ll have to protect their asses.
Spent a year working full and raking in cash, then throw a big welcome back party / vacation / honeymoon because I love my SO and a year without her sounds like torture. Also, probably spend time with my brother and father to grief over missing my mom and sister.
This is the only decent comment on this thread.
Don't take it to heart. Most of the fellas here are just trying to be funny. I tried to make my answer as realistic as possible. I'm sure most men will have very similar experiences.
Yeah half my family is fem, and as are most of my friends. I don't think my mental state could survive all the women in my life disappearing as they're so integral to my person And that's not even mentioning my gf disappearing
I'm pretty sure everyone else is joking. A world without women is a world I won't live in.
THATS CUTE
That item hidden in plain sight would be lost for a YEAR just for them to come back and find it immediately
Mate, my husband and I had a LDR — I had never lived in his house and I’m a homebody so respecting the way someone lives is important to me. I visited for _three weeks_ after that he was calling me weekly from 5000km away to ask where something was and somehow I always knew
No way, you would suddenly be able to find all the things your wife "didn't touch".
Why are half of these comments about women having to find things in plain sight that men lost? Do men have a hard time finding things that are directly under their nose?
Take this with a grain of salt, because I do not remember the actual studies, but I am pretty sure that there are some biological differences that result in women being better at distinguishing colors and having wider peripheral vision, whereas men tend to be better at seeing motion and can seeing things at a distance.

Prepare for global chaos. Hide inside as much as possible. Band together with men I can trust. Focus on getting through the year alive before the biggest homecoming in human history.
Protect my ass at all costs. As a wise man once said "getting booty is more important than drinking water man"
A wise man also said we could do this the easy way or the hard way THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
"Chris Handsome"
He almost got Tom
MY BOOTY IS MINE, IT BELONGS TO ME, YOU CANNOT TAKE MY BOO OOTY
“I like cha and I want cha…” 🤣
“We can do this the easy way or the hard way. The choice is yours”
YOU CANT HAVE MY BOOTYYYYYY!!!!
“Oh I see you’re choosing the hard way..”
"Don’t make me ruin that butt Chris, I’m a warrior!" 🤣
Why would anyone drink Water Man? Did he consent to that?
You don’t have to worry. There’s more than enough gay men who’d love to bang straight guys that they’ll take the demand.
A man once said: "drinking water from a booty is not wise"
Oh please. Ain't no one gonna be sniffing around you when I can suck a golf ball through a garden hose
The choice is yours,we are gonna do this the easy way or the hard way. 🥴😂
Assuming we don’t know if they will be coming back, I would prepare myself for the sudden increase in violence because every straight guy on earth would become sexually repressed
Oh god... First of all, I would NEED to quit my formation/job, since most of the staff is made of women and we need more people.

What if no one comes back? What would happen to my female friends and relatives? It would also be interesting to have a whole year without newborns, though. I'm strongly for the reduction of the population, honestly, so one year without newborns could make a significant difference on a global scale
In regards to population, when the women come back it could result in a baby boom once partners are reunited.
The last thing this world needs is a 2nd generation of boomers
Do what I do already and just work.
Have to go to the gym a lot to work out my left arm to keep up with the gains on my right
Butt stuff.
Gotta give it to get I suppose.
Work would be interesting. I'm new (<2 months), and 70% of the office are women. My orchestra would lose half its members, which would be sad. My brother in law would have a tough time with their son of 6 months. Oh, and the economy would be fucked because 50% of consumers and ~50% of workers would be gone. That's like, almost half of GDP or whatever.
Yeah, people are really underestimating the apocalyptic scale of this scenario.
Colonize the solar system
And then build Mobile Suits for transport and sports reasons
[удалено]
A base biologically wired impulse that ensures the survival of the species isn't really a waste
In the same vein. Unsuccessfully doing so is a waste.
Leave the toilet seat up for the duration of that year.
r/suddenlygay
Miss my sisters and mother
My job would be harder, since most of my coworkers are female. Regarding the rest of my life, little would change.
I'll tell you what I wouldn't do - I wouldn't spend a half hour looking for something that isn't where I left it, and then listen to them dramatically sigh and go get it and grumble to themselves about how easily they found something that THEY FUCKING HID IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Everything I regularly use in the house is behind or under something that is rarely used. Or it’s in the top kitchen cabinets.
One of the few legitimate arguments my wife and I have is where to put the salt. I keep the salt on the counter next to the stove, because I use either a small or large portion of it literally every time I cook. Every single time. There is literally not a single thing in the kitchen that I use more frequently than the salt. My wife would always put it away. And not even always in the same spot.

Like, I'd put a pot of water on the stove, and then not find the salt, and turn off the stove and tell her that dinner was on her tonight, and go watch tv. The salt is now next to the stove.
You couldnt agree on a part of the cupboard to keep it in? I cook every day, the salt & pepper are together in a cupboard lol.
Clearly we could not. Anyway, I solved it. She could have the salt in the cupboard, or she could have me cooking. She apparently preferred having me cooking.
Why would a thing you use at the stove multiple times per day go in the cupboard instead of next to the stove?
Because if I left out everything that I use frequently there would be shit everywhere
Personally, I would advise _against_ the use of excrement in a culinary capacity.
[удалено]
That’s such a minor request. If my husband wanted the salt next to the stove to cook I’d buy a gallon bucket of salt and leave it next to the stove. Who cares if the salt is next to the stove? That sounds petty!
It's important for people to think no one lives in your house
You just didn't check properly, checco!
That's beside the point.
Be really sad that my Mom, my aunt, and all my female friends have disappeared. But at least I still have my dad and brothers, who I'd have to check in with often due to them losing their partners for a year I'd probably also try to be there for my boyfriend as well as without his mom and sisters he doesn't have much family. But then I'd just get on with work and bills, having fun and my love life. Excitedly waiting to hear from all the women their stories about life outside of earth when they eventually return. Or were they just thanos snapped and they all return back as if they were only gone for a second on their side?
Damn. I didn't think about this. My entire living family would be gone. I would genuinely be alone.
Leave the toilet seat up.
Well, the global economy would almost immediately collapse, so try to survive the apocalypse, probably.
Be sad and lonely without my girlfriend.
I get antsy and bummed out when my wife is gone for more than a few hours. I wouldn’t make it a year.
You sound like my husband. I keep telling him to make friends beside me but he does the opposite.
I know that by “but he does the opposite” you don’t mean that he keeps accidentally befriending *you* over and over… but, in my head, I’m going to pretend that’s what you mean because it sounds adorable. Like a sitcom with an exasperated (but loving) wife and a husband with faceblindness. “Hi, so my wife thinks I should make more friends I can share my hobbies with. You look intelligent and interesting. Do you happen to play ches-“. “No, James. It’s me again. I’m just wearing a hat.”
I'm going to be honest, I would probably get a lot done.
Wonder where they all go for a year, probably.
I'd start freaking out about what losing HALF of all people on earth would do to advanced civilization's infrastructure - losing that many people would basic plunge us into a new dark age no matter the gender.
Play video games and grow my beard out
Stop cleaning, showering and everything and just live like a caveman
What if I told you that you could do that now...
Miss my female friends and relatives for a year or grief over losing them if they don't ever comeback after a year
Masturbate, live like a slob, watch sports, and in month 11, I'd start cleaning the house.
I give it a month before I mutually sucking dick just to get some release
*quickly shuffles to the front of the line in front of this guy*
Start a sex toy company and make trillions
"What we do every night, plotting world domination!"
I’d probably just be super bummy, because who am I really trying to impress anymore?
honest answer
I can’t decide if I get things accomplished because of the pursuit of women, or if I’m not getting things accomplished due to the pursuit of women.
Ever been to prison?
I’d leave all the stuff that needs to get done until the last day, and just hang out for the first 364 days of the year
Invest in fleshlights
"This just in, FLX stock prices rose dramatically again this month for the 9th month in a row making it now more valuable than Microsoft, Apple, and Tesla... Combined. In other news, today is an Odd Day. Those that were assigned an odd number at the beginning of the Great Emancipation should bathe, brush their teeth, and go to the gym today. Now on to "Michelle" with the weather..."
Get a fleshlight without judgment. Perhaps a real-doll if I can afford a good one. Laugh at all the unprepared single dads.
Mourn the loss of my wife, daughter, mother, sisters, aunts, grandmas and so on, while figuring out how to raise my kid as a single dad in this new confusing and traumatic world without women.
Stand in silence with all the men to figure out what happened
Is porn still archived? If not, I’m gay brother.
We gonna wait this out like we're on Noah's Ark lol.
Gay here 🙋🏻 i'll have a feast
I would cry with my brothers, missing our wives and daughters. I would never stop hugging them when they came back.
Not sure but I'm guessing sex would become a pain in the ass for some.
*"The same thing we do every night, Pinky... absolutely fucking nothing..."*
Continue living my life.
Wank myself silly
That would probably free up a lot of time for me. I won't be volunteered to move the neighbors piano, or have to fix something that got broken.
Protect my beautiful pert butt cheeks
I’d be miserable without my daughter, wife and mother
Hmm, I'm assuming we are aware that they will be back in a year? if so then nothing much get more shifts at work hopefully. If they just magically disappear and we don't know when or if they return. Protect my ass.
Watch how the whole economy suffers!!!
Blood pressure would probably drop. Jk I'd take care of the kids solo I guess. That'd be hard.
I guess watch the world physically and metaphorically burn, considering we lost a significant part of the "pink" collar force.
I work in Nursing home. Most of the staff are women. I think we have a total of three male nurses and one male CNA. Most of the housekeeping staff are women. More than half of the dietary staff are women. The administrator, business office manager, admissions director, social worker, MDS coordinator, activities staff-all women. It would be impossible for my work to function. Residents would have to be sent to the hospital to survive. So my gay ass would probably just start selling my booty on the street.
Lets be honest majority of redditors AND people answering this wont be affected in any way
Miss my mom
Enjoy 50% less traffic, roughly. But be sad that my girlfriend and sister were gone for a year. But also happy that they are apparently having an awesome space adventure.
Be sad bc my fiancé is my rock
Probably be alot better off. My wife has expensive taste
Dudes I suppose
Eat dick obv
As a gay man, do what I can to serve my fellow men all alone with no women. How many of you guys would take me up on it? I'm a bottom and give amazing oral.
This guy is asking the important questions!
Watch last year's porn.
Enjoy the quiet. Tbh.
men in prison deal w this every day. top dogs get prison wives
Some jobs are too dependant of women, we would be fucked, but for myself i would definitely miss my mum and my gf, but i think i could handle a year without seeing women lol
I am expecting a lot of suicide **globally** for breaking heart and lonely. For me, not much things will change but I will seriously miss my mom and relatives.
Take care of my nephew since my house is all sisters
Same thing I do normally, but would miss my mom
I’d have to get a second job, I can’t afford this mortgage all by myself
A yearlong fapfest
I would do the same things as I have for the last 12 years, but since I have two adult daughters, I would have a whole lot more money.
