What men search for
At 2am, men tell Google the things they won't say out loud.
We pulled the real searches, anonymised, aggregated, by the thousand. This is where men are most unguarded. If you've typed one of these, you already know you're not the only one.
Every line below is a real search men make, every month, in Canada. The number beside it is how many. Pick what's sitting on you tonight.
