Introduction: The Power of Words
Effective communication is the bedrock of any healthy relationship. 🚀 This is especially true when it comes to conversations between different genders. Some phrases can cause unintended harm or offense. Let’s dive into things you should never say to the opposite gender and why.
Avoid Stereotypes and Assumptions
It’s crucial to steer clear of making sweeping generalizations. Here are a few examples to avoid:
- 📉 "All men/women are the same."
- 🎭 "You’re too emotional.
These statements can marginalize individual experiences and reinforce harmful stereotypes.
Don’t Body Shame
Appearance-related comments can impact self-esteem and body image significantly. Avoid saying:
- 🏋️ "You’ve gained/lost a lot of weight."
- 👗 "Is that what you’re wearing?"
These comments can be detrimental and hurtful.
Avoid Questioning Capabilities
Everyone deserves to feel competent and valued. Phrases to avoid include:
- 📊 “Are you sure you can handle this?”
- 💡 “Just leave it, I’ll do it.”
Such statements can undermine confidence and suggest inadequacy.
Stay Away from Comparisons
Comparisons can foster envy and self-doubt. Refrain from saying:
- 🏆 “Why can’t you be more like him/her?”
- 👶 “My ex used to do it this way.”
Each person is unique and deserves to be appreciated for who they are.
Respect Personal Choices
Criticizing or questioning someone’s choices can feel invasive and disrespectful. Avoid:
- 🏠 “When are you getting married/having kids?”
- 💼 “Why did you choose that career/path?”
Respectful dialogue includes respecting personal decisions and life paths.
Handling Sensitive Issues
Discussing sensitive topics requires empathy and care. Never say:
- 🔍 “What’s wrong with you?”
- ⏰ “Get over it already.”
These phrases can invalidate feelings and experiences.
Final Thoughts: The Golden Rule
In essence, the golden rule applies: Treat others as you’d like to be treated. Words are powerful, and using them wisely fosters respect and understanding. Always think before you speak and aim to uplift, rather than diminish.
Conclusion
Remember, effective communication is key to fostering healthy relationships. By avoiding these harmful phrases, we can create more understanding and respectful dialogues between genders. 🌟
Feel free to use this guide as a reminder to always communicate with kindness and empathy. 🚀
“Hey baby, can i git’ a taste of ’em udders?”
“You look terrible.”
No one likes hearing this.
I can be sensitive , and as a guy I’ve had to play off how it bothers me a bit.
If I were crawling out of a mud pit? I can understand that. No biggie.
Sitting down after a long stressful day? I’d rather not hear that, ya know?
Mind if I hold your drink
Derogatory or disrespectful comments about their appearance
Not really related but kind of saying before the date that you asked them on “Your paying right?”
You’d be so much hotter if you were [insert opposite sex].
“I’ll kill you and your entire family”. Really shouldn’t say it to anyone.
Telling men that they’d “make a good husband someday.” The implication is that such men are safe, stable, and predictable. But not sexy. “Someday” means whenever a woman is ready to settle down after she’s had her fun with more desirable and exciting prospects.
Your making eye contact with a female your not attracted to. She smiles and you walk over and say hello have a chat for a min… and then ask “Whats your friends name and is she single?”. Ouch.
Never ask a woman if she is pregnant, “when are you due” etc, unless you actually see the baby crowning.
Never mention anything to women pertaining to:
1. Weight
2. Height
3. Solutions to a problem they are complaining about because they just want someone to listen
“Nice implants!”
That your gender has it worse. Society sucks for everyone, and gender roles lead different genders into different problems.
“The big ones hurt, it’s my perfect size anyway”
Are you drinking 1% ’cause you think you’re fat?
Show us where ye piss from
Calling a man short, trust me he knows…
“Calm down”
Whats up baby, you want a fish sandwich?
Bangarang!
I will have to preface that my husband is an amazing partner. We got engaged quickly because we both knew what we wanted out of life.
I have a gf who has struggled with relationships for as long as I known her. We meet her new potential mate and just shooting the shit.
At some point she asked him if he had a brother like him as potential mate was sitting there. Ouch. Hubby comes back in for the save and says that he has a brother from another mother who happens to be British
You could be more pretty/handsome if…
Nice pair
Never tell a woman to “Calm down” I still do it but it never goes well
“I dislike [insert your opinion of what you do or do not like about their looks or choices]” unless it was specifically asked
Being a woman must be so easy
Tice nits
i bet that pussy smells like hippo shit
Never assume the guy a woman is with is her father, no matter how old he looks.
Boy, this was awkward when I served a work colleague who came in with her ‘partner’, and I started off with “Its cool you and your dad are watching a movie together.”
“I could still take you, I have a background in martial arts” to a woman taking self-defense classes 😐
Excuse me, uhm, “ma’am”, but your pronouns seem to be poking out of your dress.
Vaginas/dicks look gross.
“Nice titties, bitch.”
You look tiredold.. women do NOT respond well to that
Never say you look tired to a woman
“Goddamn you make me look straight.” As a gay person telling a straight person this it BEWILDERS them and its HILARIOUS
Apparently you aren’t meant to tell a woman she looks tired.
“I think your partner is cheating on you”
Damn girl you shit with that ass?
“My gender’s better than yours.”
“Hitler did nothing wrong”
