Sometimes guys do not always think about what they are saying. Sometimes us guys do not think before we speak, especially when it comes to women. Women are very sensitive, and guys should never speak to them the way they would with their guy friends. This is true especially in a relationship. When you are in a relationship, it is important to keep your woman happy. Proper word choice is one of the ways to keep your woman happy. If she is not happy with something that you have said or done, then chances are you will not be happy either. It is always important to be conscious of the words that you speak to your lady. This article will provide a list of ten things that you should never say to women.
1. Do not say negative things to your lady. Never cuss her out, and never put her down. When you cuss at your lady or put her down, it makes her feel like she is not good enough, and that is one thing that no man should ever do to a woman. If your lady says or does something to offend you or make you upset, then simply find another technique other than verbal abuse. Simply walk away, or tell her that you are upset.
2. Refrain from saying embarrassing jokes about her in public or around your friends. If you try to make a joke about her in front of others, it will make her feel low. She may laugh at the joke, but deep down, it hurts to be embarrassed. Even if you think it is funny and your friends think it is funny, trust me, it hurts her in the long run. Always compliment your women, especially in public.
3. Never remind her of the good things that you have done for her in the past, especially during an argument. This also includes reminding her of past gifts that you bought. Most women will take this as holding it over their head. In other words, this will make many women think that what you have done in the past was only to get something in return. Women want to know that you have done things and bought things from the heart.
4. It is never a good idea to point out your lady’s flaws. If you see something that you think is an imperfection, then bite your tongue. If you do point out a flaw, such as a bad hair day, a trait in her personality, or too much makeup, then you will simply make her feel self-conscious, and this will lower her self-esteem. I know you have to always be honest, but choose your battles. If you feel uncomfortable with something she is wearing, then be honest, especially if she is wearing something inappropriate. You have a right to be comfortable too, but be careful what things you do point out.
5. Try not to criticize her friends. If you do not get along with one of her friends, try not to put that person down in front of your woman. This will not only cause an argument, but it will make her feel like she has to choose between you and her friends. You do not want to make your lady feel that her whole world has to be you.
6. Do not give her a hard time if she wants to go out with her friends. Giving her a hard time makes her feel that you are jealous, possessive, and insecure. Moreover, giving her a hard time about going out will make her feel entrapped. Everyone, especially women have the right to their freedom, as long as the woman is respecting her man when she goes out.
7. Stop accusing her of cheating. This is perhaps one of the most strenuous things that can be put on a relationship. Every woman wants to be trusted by the man she loves, especially if she trusts you. Accusing your lady of cheating really says a lot about your self-esteem and jealousy issues. It makes your woman feel insecure, fearful, and unworthy of the relationship.
8. Complementing other women in front of your woman is never a good idea. If you say something really nice about another woman, such as how pretty someone else is, then it really will hurt your woman’s feelings. If you say someone else is nice, then that is not too bad. However, to not make direct complements about another woman’s features or attire in front of your woman.
9. Never compare your lady to someone else. For example, do not say, “why can’t you be or look more like her.” This is a big no in your relationship. This is something that should never be said to your woman. Comparing her to others will really make her feel degraded, and no man has the right to do that.
10. Always compliment her family and domestic life. Most women are very close to their families and domestic life. Do not criticize these things, as they are very valuable to her. Also, do not criticize her passions and other joys in life. Women need to always be encouraged and know that their families and other joys will also be loved or accepted by you.
All of the aforementioned are exactly the kind of thing that younger men tend to say when they new, or inexperience, at dating. I have to admit that I have made the same mistakes myself, albeit 25 years ago, so I probably could have done with reading this article back then.
I am happy with this guidelines Martin, how I wish I was born yesterday.
You have really made some very good points in this article, Martin, and it would behoove ant guy reading it to set up and pay attention to what they are being taught.
I wish I'd read this six weeks ago. I committed Mistake 3 and I haven't been forgiven since.
Good tips and sometimes they go both ways.
Good reminder. Sometimes if you think something, you shouldn't say it.
Great tips, a very useful article Martin!
Good advice. My wife was involved in a relationship before we met that was quite distructive to her self-esteem. Her ex was continually pointing out her flaws. Now that she and I are together she still has issues with being able to believe in herself. I've been trying for the past fifteen years to undo the damage done by this cretan.
I love how this article in retrospect emphasizes common sense and good manners that many boyfriends can overlook, such as making inappropriate jokes about their girlfriend in public. This is not to say that women are not guilty of this, but having dated both men and women, by boyfriends have more often been the ones who do not think before they open their mouths.
Bold and very beneficial for men to read and know these should not be said to that woman in their life. I was shocked to think anyone would even say half of these things to ANYBODY more or less the person they had professed to care about and maybe love too. Thanks to you they are here to know to never use.
