5 things you should never say to a man
Steer clear of these key phrases and topics to stay on his good side
and avoid any pouty man sulks.
“Cheer up. It’s only a game.”
Huge mistake. It may look like a few blokes chasing a ball around a
field to you, but to him it’s the ultimate demonstration of macho strength,
skill and stamina. Men use sport as a way to bond with other men.
Supporting a particular team unites them and makes them feel part of
something bigger – it’s almost primal. Denigrate it at your peril.
“We need to talk.”
Four little words guaranteed to ruin a bloke’s day. The minute you utter
this little phrase and their mind starts racing. ‘Have I done anything
wrong?', ‘Maybe she wants to break up?’, ‘Did I miss her birthday?’,
‘Is she pregnant?’,
‘Has she been checking my internet browsing history?’
Men respond better if
you speak to them directly so instead of dropping a
bomb like ‘We need to talk’
Just get on and have one without the preamble.
You’re bound to get more out
of him that way.
“Notice anything different?”
He knows you will be upset if he fails to notice your new hairdo /outfit /
glasses / nail colour / svellt figure but he just can’t work out what it is. Oh
the anguish. The
pressure’s really on. If he picks the wrong thing he knows
he’s in the dog house.
Put him out of his misery and ask him a direct question
like ‘Do you like my new
shoes?’ instead.
“Do you think she’s pretty?”
Oh come on! You both know what you are really asking is ‘Do you think
she is prettier than me?’ If he says ‘yes’ you know you’re going to sulk and
pout out if he says ‘no’ you’ll assume he’s lying. He can’t win. And neither
can you, so why ask?
“My ex was such a good cook.”
The male ego is a fragile thing and he won’t want to be out done by someone
who is gone before. Make any favourable comments about your ex he will
immediately see
them as a direct slight to his manhood and treat it as a challenge
to do better. So cut
the ex-talk unless you want things to turn ugly….... not to
mention
tiresome.
