*********************
It's true: Some comments are better left unsaid.
But as a sophisticated man of the 21st century, you already know this. You know you're not supposed to comment on your girlfriend's weight, or tell her that her friends are hot. And you know she probably feels the same way you do about the phrase, "Can we still be friends?"
Additionally, you've found that honesty, while valued in most situations, can sometimes offend. What you say to diffuse tension in an argument often stokes the fire. We understand that the female psyche can be complicated, and we're here to demystify what may seem like strategically placed trapdoors.
Here are 10 things most women don't want to hear:
1) "What did you do to your hair?"
Unless we've cut our own hair—this is not common—someone else did something to our hair. It wasn't us. And most likely we've gone to a lot of trouble and expense for it. "I like your new haircut" is infinitely better, and shows you're paying attention. It's also far superior to the generic "You look different," which tells us you're as clueless as ever.
2) "They both look the same to me."
We understand you care a lot less than we do about the outfits or the registry dishware we're asking you to compare. But they can't possibly look exactly the same, can they? Give us something. Anything. Mentally roll the dice and pick one, so we don't worry about your vision—or worse, that you don't care.
3) "Relax."
A kissing cousin to "Don't get so worked up," this generally creates the exact opposite effect you're shooting for. When you say "Relax," what we hear is that you think that we're being irrational over nothing, and this makes us do anything but relax.
4) "I've got it all under control."
Ha! Famous last words. Refrain from using them if you don't want us to take fiendish delight in your getting lost because you won't stop for directions (if we're late, there will be fiendish fuming), or because you're missing a piece to your flat-screen television because you said you didn't need to read the assembly instructions.
5) "You're not one of those feminists, are you?"
Yikes. Chivalry may be nearly dead, but saying this will drive the last spear through its heart. Feminist or not, a woman is likely to be offended by the question. Just be yourself. Be kind, open the door, offer to pay, and go from there. We can choose to accept or share in your generosity.
6) "When are you due?"
Take one second to imagine a woman turning to you and responding, "I'm not pregnant," or "I had the baby six months ago," and you'll understand why you should eradicate this question from your vocabulary. In one nanosecond, innocent—even considerate—curiosity can turn to deadly, if unintentional, offense. And there's just no way to recover from this one.
7) "You're being emotional."
In the heat of the moment this may be true. But unless you want your partner to become more emotional or get angry, you're better off keeping this observation and its off-limits follow-up question—"Is it that time of month?"—to yourself.
8) "You're acting just like your mother/my mother/my ex-girlfriend."
All three are problematic. An ex should be mentioned sparingly, and never in comparison. Why would we want to remind you of a person you broke up with? And come to mention it, why are you thinking about her? You see the slippery slope. Conjuring an image of our mother or your mother can be equally grating. We want you to treat us as individuals and not as mere products of your (or our) upbringing.
9) "You complete me."
We've seen "Jerry Maguire" and most other romantic comedies far more often than you, and while we may (or may not) like cheesy movie lines, they usually fail in real life. We understand that the possibility of romance makes inexplicable things come out of a man's—and sometimes a woman's—mouth, but keep the compliments real and honest and sincere and say you love someone when you mean it.
10) "Do you really think you should be eating that?"
Yes. She should be eating it. Even if she told you she's given it up.

Posted: 1/24/2008 5:02:31 PM | Well to "this" woman anyway ....
My NUMBER ONE pet peeve - the hate it of all times - the one that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up anytime I hear it - the one that makes my kids and my dog run for cover to save themselves when someone else says it to me hoping for the person that they are spared with a quick and painless death .......
"Well it shouldn't do that".
Naw, I just made it up cause I had nothing better to do today.
Grrrrrrrrrrr ....... it generally comes from service people - who are also men.

Posted: 1/24/2008 5:08:02 PM | oh the "when are you due?" I can't tell how many kids over the years have asked me when I was due. I embarrassed one in front of her teacher this year repeating what she had asked me. The teacher just was horrified and gave her a quick lesson in how to speak to a woman. I just always find it hilarious... they're just so innocent.
The one I can't stand is "Bring me a beer". Too many exes expecting me to be the fetcher of the beer.. and then eventually the chicken wings... or whatever.
or..
"I'll clean it later" translation: I'll leave the mess until it gets so bad that it eats away at you and YOU do it cause I'm too lazy to get off my butt and wipe a counter now which would take me 2 seconds whereas if I leave it it'll take you 45 minutes minimum and you'll do a better job than I would anyways. | |

7) "You're being emotional." This is similar to blaming everything on hormones while you are pregnant...
You said you would be home 6 hours ago and now that you are finally here you reek of alcohol and can barely string a sentence together.. Yes, my reaction must be the hormones 
10) "You complete me."  | |

Posted: 1/24/2008 6:39:25 PM | ugh the time of the month thing. I swear every time a woman gets upset about anything (legitimate or not) the guy ALWAYS has to blame the time of the month! Personally, I just laugh it right back in their faces since there hasn't been one of those for me in 10 years. Now what are you going to blame my legitimate fit because you walked in the house in your muddy shoes after I just vacuumed and washed the floors.. on?  | |

Posted: 1/24/2008 6:51:16 PM | In all fairness, I have had women who wanted a 'get out of jail free' card use the 'on the rag' excuse.

Your sister is better

Posted: 1/25/2008 7:00:49 AM | "Yeah. That outfit does make you look fat."
"Wow. Is she ever a good looking woman, eh?"
"Your new hair? I dunno. I liked the old hair better."
"Why don't you get the check, while I go start the car?"
"My ex used to do this really cool thing with her fingers and tongue."
"No. You definitely looked thinner in the other dress, the one you didn't buy."
"No offence, babe, but I can really taste the garlic when we kiss. Wanna piece of gum?" | |

Posted: 1/25/2008 6:28:41 PM | Oh I'll just retell the story of my ex that many of you have heard before. Worst thing I think a man can say..
watching movies on valentines day, and we're watching master of disguise. On comes this stereotypical beautiful woman. Tall, thin, blonde hair, blue eyes, massive boobs. My boyfriend at the time says "MAN she's hot!" I said to him I"m sitting right here! How do you think that makes me feel?"
He looks at me and says "You do it all the time" I said to him "Yeah like saying wow he's got nice hair, very different. So wait, if that's the kind of girl you find physically attractive, how can you find me attractive at all?" (Considering I'm this actresses' polar opposite in looks.)
He looks me right in the eye and says:
"Well there's hot, and then there's attainable."
I slept on the couch that night I was so upset. You may THINK those things but damn you never say them! | |
