Viral challenge that women CAN do but men CAN'T sweeps the internet: "This is hilarious!"
- Replies 6
After attempting a "simple" TikTok challenge that is easier for women to complete than it is for men, a competitive couple was left in fits of laughter after realising they were unable to complete the task.
The hilarious results that ensued when personal trainer Josef Rakich and his wife Maryam Matti attempted to step over a broom handle while holding it close to the ground were captured on camera and uploaded on their TikTok account.
While Maryam gracefully stepped over the pole, Josef's feet appeared to be stuck to the ground. When he finally lifted his left foot, he was thrown off balance, and he laughed as he realised he could not complete the challenge.

The personal trainer captioned the video with, "At least I can p*ss standing up."
On the other hand, his wife retaliated with a retort of her own, which she delivered in the form of a passive-aggressive quip: "At least I can actually get my dirty laundry in the basket and not next to it."
It didn't take long for the couple's attempts at the challenge to go viral on social media, where they impressed their hundreds of thousands of followers.
"This is hilarious," said one woman, who admitted that she and her husband had attempted the challenge themselves.
However, some men claimed to have completed the challenge. "My girlfriend challenged me to this and was disappointed at how simple it was for me to complete," said one user in the comments.
This 'broom' challenge is the most recent in a series of viral challenges centred on mobility and gravity, all of which are said to be difficult to complete for men.
The most recent to go viral was the 'chair' challenge, with hundreds of men and women comparing their results on TikTok. The challenge requires the contestants to lift a chair while crouching down, which is something that women are able to do much more easily than men.
Here's how to do the 'chair' challenge:
Start by pressing your head against the wall. Then, take a chair and slowly pull it closer to your body.
At this point, you are going to need to stand up while simultaneously pulling the chair up to your chest and holding it there.
Several people have attempted it, but it appears that only women are successful. The challenge has gone viral on TikTok, with couples posting hilarious videos of the unexpected results.
A number of hypotheses have been proposed by scientists to explain why this might be the case, including one that refers to differences in the gravitational centres of men and women.
The second theory proposes that men have larger feet, requiring them to move further away from the wall in order to achieve the same number of paces as women.
