Okay gentlemen reading my blog, and even ladies reading it who will probably agree with most of what I've got to say. You know those little comments girls make that are just ..loaded? awkward? hard to respond to? Yeah, I'm here to explain why girls say them. I may be breaking some female version of the "bro code" [whatever the f that is.. if it's even real] but I'm not really into the whole girly friendship thing, so I'm not worried. Come at me, bitches, I can take you. I posted the link to the article I got this list from under the title, so feel free to click on that to find out what the original author said about why girls shouldn't say these things. Ha.
#1. "My ex did the exact same thing!"
lolz? Yeah okay this kinda sucks to say. Depending on what it follows. If you just did something stupid, and a girl says that, it means you better not do it again if you know what's best for you. That guy is her ex for a reason, you know. This is kind of a difficult one. It really is all situational. Sure that may not be a word, but it is now. Now if the girl said it because you did something good and she looks excited, then keep doing it! That guy was lucky enough to be her boyfriend in the first place, you know.
It's probably confusing, yes. But you're going to have to go off of her emotions and facial expressions and whether or not she slaps you. I'm sorry to say fellas, but you're going to have to do a little work when it comes to this one. Good luck! [hahaha]. It may sound like she's just strictly comparing the two of yall. Why is that a bad thing? Guys look a other girls all the time and talk about them when they're with their buddies. Some guys are stuck on their exes too. Just take it with a grain of salt, and be a better guy than the last one. Aka, don't be a douche.
#2. "Helen's pregnant ..Shhh!"
Riiight. What's the big deal? Would you rather a girl never told you anything that was going on with her life or share things that were troubling her? I would rather be kept in the loop rather than awkwardly walk in on a telephone call where your girlfriend immediately starts babbling loudly about her period or her split ends to try to confuse you enough so you don't think something is up. Even if that is so incredibly obvious.. Do girls really even talk about that stuff? Possibly. I mean, okay. Just ask for the basics, not the details, especially if one of your guy friends is dating this girl. We both know yall shouldn't go and tell your friend about this if you wanna sleep in the bed tonight, so just go with that.
[I'm skipping some of these cause they're just dumb and I don't really know how to explain them. I'm bad at this whole girl stuff. It's disgusting, okay.]
#4. "Do you think she's pretty?"
Oohhhh this is a toughy. But don't freaking lie. If you think she's pretty, say so. "She's attractive..." BUT FOLLOW IT UP WITH A COMPLIMENT TO YOUR GIRL. "...but no one could ever compare to you." Who the heck cares if it sounds retarded and your guys will laugh at you. Lying would be worse. Your guy friends aren't the ones that you go home to, boys. Once you say it, stick with it. Don't change your compliment, especially. That just makes it sound like you're lying and just trying to cover up for the fact that you think the person is ball busting hot. I mean, of course you think that. We know that. We wouldn't ask that if we didn't agree. Same goes with if a girl says "Ohmygosh this girl is so hot." Go ahead and agree mildly, and throw in a compliment to her. Girls are taught to hate themselves because of all the model/celebrity/movie star fake hotness. Sometimes we just need the reassurance that our natural bodies are better looking than their air brushed perfect ones that we see daily. Because seriously, we are compared to them every day. We're taught that if we don't look just like them, no one will like us, etc. Blah blah blah. Mildly agree, then compliment. Don't use "hot, sexy, gorgeous, beautiful" on the girl we're asking about, use "attractive or nice". It's for your own good. Your girlfriend should be the hottest,, most gorgeously beautiful girl you've ever seen (in our eyes, even if it's not true).
#5. "I'm fine" or "Never mind"
JESUS FREAKING CHRIST. If a girl says this, she does not want to talk about it right then. If you keep asking her if she's okay, she'll become increasingly agitated at you. Let her calm down and realize that it's not that big of a deal, when she wants to talk about it [if she's sane..] she will tell you. If she finally gives in and tells you what's wrong when she's still fuming, it'll turn into something far more serious than it needed to be. It's easy to tell if something is seriously bothering your girl or if she's just being an uber bitch. Did she get quiet, is her face red, is she looking down, does she look sad? Then something is wrong. She'll say she's fine, and of course she's not! But she doesn't want to cry in front of you. Something is upsetting her, but she needs to calm down before she can answer you otherwise she will cry and probably make no sense. We know guys don't like that. Now if a girl is shooting daggers at you with her eyes, looking full of herself and says she's fine, she probably just has a stick up her butt and needs a little while before she'll pull it out. Next, "never mind". Once you get her explaining what's wrong, it is not going to make sense. I recommend waiting to ask questions until she's completely done. If you start saying you're confused, or ask questions during her explanation, she'll become more upset and tell you never mind. Then things are worse. So just wait. Take it all in. Once she's done, more likely than not it will be mostly understandable. If not, well just pretend, tell her you're sorry and ask how you can fix it.
#6. "I just let one go."
Kay this is just dumb. NEWS FLASH, GENTLEMEN, girls poop. Get over it. Yall do too. She's being funny. It means she's comfortable with you. Not that she's disgusting. Unless she is obviously disgusting and you can tell by looking at her, which means that you probably shouldn't even be dating her in the first place. But if you are dating her and she's openly disgusting about everything, there's something wrong with you.. But yeah, if she's your girlfriend and yall are comfortable with each other, don't take it like she's gross, take it as she's comfortable with you. It's not a big deal.
#7. "I'll try anything once."
Of course she's going to say that. To make you happy. If she never brings it up again, it's not going to happen. If she brings it up once, your chances have increased. If she brings it up numerous times, you've hit the jackpot. Don't bring it up before her though, that'll decrease your chances.
#8. "Are you sure you're okay?"
This goes along with the "I'm fine" and "never mind". Just like girls don't want to admit something is wrong for fear of scaring you off with tears, girls are stubborn enough to want to fix things when we know something is wrong. If something is wrong, don't keep saying you're okay. Calmly say you're not okay but you're not ready to talk about it yet. It's not that difficult. Emotionless guys are not attractive. We like knowing yall have real feelings. Something you're doing is obviously making her think something is wrong though, even if you're actually okay. So if she keeps asking and you're fine, man up and act normal. You may feel normal, but she'll be able to tell something is off faster than you can.
#9. "I hate my thighs."
If she says this, it's for one of two reasons. She actually hates her thighs or she just wants a compliment. Either way, compliment her. Tell her what you like about her thighs, or whatever other part of her body she isn't comfortable with at that moment. Once again, we've grown up in the day in age where we're "supposed" to have a certain kind of body to be considered attractive. It sucks, remember that. If you want compliments in bed or about how amazing you are, you best make her feel like a freaking princess. If she feels ugly, she's definitely not going to be nice to you. Please also remember, what you see when you look at your girlfriend is more likely than not what she sees when she looks in a mirror. Unless she knows/thinks she's attractive in which case this will only happen because she wants you to acknowledge what she already knows/thinks. [Side note: I do "knows/thinks" because some chicks think they're hot, and they're sooo far from that.]
#10. "I hate your mom."
Or sister, brother, father, cousin, any family member. Are you scary attached to them? Are they mean back to her? If it's something like this, she's probably worried that you're going to listen to them about yalls relationship. That you're bringing them into your relationship. Like those evil moms that try to control how things go? Yeah, girls hate that. Dear Mommy, we're the main girl in your son's life now, shove off. Love, Girlfriend. So don't bring your mother into every little thing that goes on. Don't share every little detail with your mother. Your mother isn't dating your girlfriend. She has no opinion in your relationship, at least she shouldn't. If you and your girlfriend are serious, you need to set your mom down and tell her that, so she realizes your girlfriend [or eventually wife] will be around for a while. Your mom needs to realize that she's not the only woman in your life now. But on the same front, your girlfriend needs to realize that your mom was once the most important woman in your life. There's got to be an equal balance. They both need to respect each other. Make them both feel like they're important and they'll get along great. Most of all, don't bring up your mother in bed. Ever.
I may be wrong on some of these, I'm not afraid to admit it. I know I skipped one, maybe two. But ehhh. These are the ones I had opinions on. If you don't agree, cool, throw me a comment so we can further educate these silly boys. Hopefully these helped some guys understand the way the female brains works, at least a little bit. But please do not take this all to heart. Not every girl is exactly the same. I'm only answering these based on how I feel when I say these things. Well, if I would say them. Some I do not.. Regardless! Happy reading, blog babies.
xoxo, the little birdy.
