As men, we all make mistakes. Forgetting it’s your boyfriend’s birthday, remembering to study for an exam, cleaning the tops of your doors: these are all mistakes that are forgiven and given the chance to make up for. But saying the wrong thing to a woman? That’s never forgiven – it’s a mistake you may pay for for the rest of your life.
Now this is of course a bit exaggerated, but the fact remains that some statements will haunt you for the rest of your life. For example, tell your ex that you never loved her and you know that she will never look at you the same again. And that while you could have just kept your mouth shut and lived in peace for a long time.

31 Things You Should Never Say to a Woman
Some comments will never be appreciated by women and we as men have to live with that. We still can’t go back in time, so we have to do everything we can to avoid making those comments. Learn from the men who came before you and never say these things to a woman.
1. “Shit, you look like my mother.”
If you say this to a woman, you can start packing your bags. Because besides the fact that it is very weird that you compare the person you are having sex with to your mother, this sentence makes every woman furious.
2. “Healthy belly! How long have you been pregnant?”
Never ask this question unless you get the most obvious hint ever. Because if she is not pregnant, no woman will appreciate this line.
3. “Are you sick? You look awful.”
Suppose she is not sick and feels like she looks fine today, how do you think she will take this? Even if her bags are almost black, it won’t help if you insult her.
4. “Don’t take this the wrong way, but…”
When a sentence starts with these words, we all know it’s not going to be a nice sentence.
5. “Are you on your period or something?”
To immediately assume that her female reproductive organs are causing her to behave irrationally? That is rude, inappropriate, and sexist.

6. “Is that what you’re going to wear tonight?”
At best, you’ll be waiting an extra hour while she tries fifteen different combinations.
7. “Are you really going to eat all that?”
Why don’t you just tell her she’s fat and needs to lose weight? Because that’s what she hears when you say that.
8. “Relax, it was just a joke”
In other words, you try to insult her publicly without suffering the consequences? Nice try. No woman falls for that.
9. “You look different in real life.”
Of course, no one looks exactly the same in real life as they do in photos. But is she fatter? Uglier? Or different in a positive way? If you want to make her hesitate on a first date, this is the line.
10. “Look, I’ll explain it to you.”
Giving unsolicited explanations may be fine if you are her teacher or manager, but not because you are a man. That is called mansplaining , a phenomenon that women find very annoying.
11. “You’re too sensitive.”
One of the best gaslighting lines if you want to make her doubt her own feelings. And no, that’s not fair.
12. “Did you come?”
If you have to ask, the answer is probably no.
13. “Are you sure it’s mine?”
If you ask your steady girlfriend (or wife) this, you deserve one with the flat of your hand. If you really doubt it, do some research first.

14. “Take it easy.”
If your goal is to calm her down with this phrase, prepare yourself for the opposite to happen.
15. “Wow, that’s a beautiful woman.”
No matter how beautiful you think another woman is, don’t say it. Not even if she tries to test you with a ” Do you think she’s beautiful ?” question.
16. “I don’t like your friends.”
Saying you don’t like her friends is a direct insult to her. If you don’t like them, then you better start liking them.
17. “Now I understand why [name] had a fight with you.”
For when you can’t ‘win’ the argument and you want to make her even angrier: say this sentence.
18. “How many sex partners have you had?”
Unless you are 99% certain it is a number close to zero, don’t ask this question. In most cases, it is better not to know . And if you ask, expect the question back.
19. “Why are you still single?”
There are so many reasons why you should never ask this question. One of the reasons is that it assumes that there is something “wrong” with her – as in “What’s wrong with you?”
