Kids may say the darnedest things, but guys? Guys are often worse.
I'm not sure if it's a tact gene that's missing from the Y chromosome, but most dudes I know are some of the biggest offenders when it comes to saying the wrong thing.
So guys, listen up: Here are a bunch of things you should NEVER say to your girlfriend.
-
"You're not the prettiest girl I've dated." So what if it's true? You may not be the hottest guy WE'VE dated, but we're not about to SAY so.
-
"You look like my ex." No one wants to be compared to an ex — unless the ex is a model.
-
"You'd look better if [insert physical characteristic here]." Guys? We don't need to be told we should improve how we look. End of story.
-
"That waitress/chick at the bar is hot!" We get it — other chicks are hot. We also have eyeballs to see for ourselves.
-
"My mom thinks you should [insert behavior change here]." We like that you've got a good relationship with your mom and all, but we don't need to hear what she thinks we need to improve.
-
"Your sister is a bitch." Hey, we're tight with our family — family is off-limits. End of story.
-
"If you REALLY loved me, you'd [insert weird sex act here]." Guys, if you really loved US, you wouldn't say that kind of thing.
-
"Wow, you're a lot like your Mom." We may love our mother dearly — but every girl has a secret fear of turning into her.
-
"I don't want to have sex tonight." It's a double-standard, we know, but it hurts our feelings to hear.
-
"We should go on a diet." We don't need you to remind us we need to drop a few pounds.
-
"Let's have a threesome with your best friend — she's hot." Just, no.
-
"This one time I [incredibly long, detailed story about a sexual encounter]." We know you've had sex before us — but we don't need it rubbed in our face.
-
"You're being too emotional." Guys, that's what we DO! We're emotional creatures! Leave us to it!
-
"There's no way that small shirt is gonna fit you." We don't need fashion advice from you, Mr. Potbelly.
-
"C'mon, I hate using condoms." Safe sex is where it's at — you don't like it? There's the door.
-
"What's your (sex) number?" Not your business, thankyouverymuch.
-
"You're overreacting." Trust us, we'll figure it out. Just let us vent.
-
"Is it 'that time of the month'? Because you're being a bitch." Guys, don't assume we're crabby because we're on our periods.
-
"You look really different in the mornings." Okay, so we don't wake up freshly showered with a full face of makeup. Sue us.
-
"It's a guy thing. You wouldn't understand." Actually, we probably do understand … that you're a douche-bag.
