WARNING: Seven Things Women Should NEVER Hear From Men . . .
78Is this how you want your wife or girlfriend to react when you tell her a very-foolish thing like the ones in this hub?
WANT MORE EXAMPLES OF HOW YOUR WIFE OR GIRLFRIEND WILL REACT TO YOUR FOOLISH STATEMENTS?
HEY, GUYS! ARE YOU
a dare devil? A man who throws caution to the wind? A man who doesn't care what he says. To anyone. Including his wife or girlfriend? A fool?
Then why on earth are you constantly in hot water with your special girl or wife? Let me guess because I know how a man thinks, but I am a man. Men are too prideful to admit that they have weak areas in themselves. I do. But I've learned. I've had to many times, reinvent myself in order to make peace and keep the peace in my home. By NOT being so quick to say things to the women I know that may be considered taboo. Off-limits. Unheard of. Not mentioned in public. Not even among ladies in the ladies room. Things that men say out of a relaxed reflex and think that the woman they are talking to will just overlook it. And go on.
Not so. Women have feelings, guys. Sensitive feelings. It's high-time that we mean learned that about the opposite sex. And let's face it, guys. "We" are notorious for 'opening our mouth and inserting our foot' in our jaws. Don't you agree? Now if you are among the very-rare group of men who are perfect in every way from speech to physique, then disregard what I am saying in this story.
But if you are like me, average. Non-famous. Just thankful to be here in life. Then pay attention. I've uncovered. Discovered. Stumbled upon seven things that all women should never hear from any man. Including you.
I will start from the least-ignorant thing a man can say to a woman and end up with THE MOST-UNCALLED-FOR thing that any man can say to any woman. In public. Or private.
7. "YOU REALLY WEIGH THAT MUCH?"
there you are. Sitting in a semi-decent cafe with your pretty girlfriend or wife. Suddenly, like women do sometimes when they think that you are paying attention to them, and she says, "My doctor said today that I weighed over 110 pounds. I laughed." Without thinking. Your first blunder. You say what you think is a supportive-remark, but if you were her, would you like to hear, "You really weigh that much?" I don't think so.
6. "AWWW, YOU AIN'T THAT OLD!"
in the same semi-decent cafe. You are sitting eating a pretty-nice dinner with your pretty girlfriend or wife, and she again, is foolish enough to think that you are paying attention to her, says, "My sister argued that "I" was three years older than her," and you uncork this stupid response. With a big bite of liver in your mouth. Get ready to shovel down some 'crow' in a minute for you have just crossed the 'dangerous female line,' and you will pay. I promise. And I am not referring to the bill.
5. "YOU LOOK FINE IN THAT DRESS."
on the way home from the semi-decent cafe, your pretty wife or girlfriend remarks, "Hun, I need some money for a new dress. This one is three years out of style and I look like a cow in it," and without looking at her, you say the above non-intelligent remark. Didn't you know to just hand her the money or credit card? She didn't ask for you to critique her dress. What a doofus.
4. "BOB'S NEW WIFE IS A KNOCK-OUT!"
and who is this Bob you are raving about? And who is Bob's new wife? Didn't you bother to think what you said over in your mind before you let your mouth get you into deep-trouble with your pretty girlfriend or current wife? Remember this word: NEVER tell your special loved one that another woman, even her sister, is a knock-out. A beauty. A bomb shell. This hurts your female companion's self-esteem. Would you like it if she said, "Wow, that Sean Connery is the man I'd like to have if you die before me"? No. You would come unglued.
3. "HUN, YOU DON'T EAT LIKE A HORSE."
need I explain this one? Sometimes, some women have to 'fish for a compliment,' because you will not compliment her out of your own free will. She might intentionally put herself down to hear you disagree with her. For example. "Hun, have you ever noticed how I eat? I eat like a horse. It's disgusting," she says. You, thinking a reinforcing statement is in order, say the above. Her mind is now searching for just what animal you think she DOES resemble when she eats. Will you ever learn, guys? Women are not like us. They are special. With special emotional needs.
2. "JILL, MY WAITRESS, SAID I LOOKED GOOD."
well, you have really done it this time, buddy. You told your wife about you and the guys eating at your favorite Hooters restaurant after your bowling match. That was cool with her. But at this Hooters, you had one too many Miller Lite's and your tongue is in low-gear. When you enter your home, your wife says, "I didn't know that shirt made you look so big," but out of sheer, ignorant male bravado, you reply something that "Jill," your scantily-clad Hooters waitress said about the same shirt. All I can ask is why? Why did you even bother to answer? You should have said, "Right, baby. I will not wear this rag again," and that would have been that.
1. "I LOVE YOU TOO, 'MILDRED.'"
this, guys, is THE worst thing you could ever say to your girlfriend or wife. And it gets you very silently. When you are kissing your girlfriend or wife good night, or good bye, she whispers, "I love you, Bill," and without as much as a thought, you say, "I love you too, Mildred," which was your old flame's name. What is your problem, Bill? Can you focus on your wife, Janey, for just one moment? You will from now on.
One final thing, guys. Did you know that it's an unspoken fact that us guys can get our feelings hurt by other guys? Yes. This is a true fact if I ever told one.
The WORST thing you could NOT do at this point to me is NOT say "thank you," for such an informative article.
So, I, in faith, honestly-reply, "You are welcome."
GUYS, IT'S NOT HARD
just take a moment. Breathe. And think about what you are about to say to your attractive girlfriend or wife. She will appreciate you taking time to give her a quality, intelligent remark.
Do NOT be like every other man on the planet and say whatever YOU think is the best response to what 'she' has just said.
Women also appreciate men who THINK. Remember, guys, I am only trying to help you.

Hahaha! You, Ken always make me smile and laugh. Yep, that's the way to talk to girls. You're so right, Ken.
It's true when you said women appreciate men who think.
Amazing hub! Voted up and away.
Take care, Ken.
Love, V
This is great! I am sharing this with my husband...
You did it again. Thank you for that laugh. I can laugh because I am not on the other end. great hub
Kkkkkkkkkenneth! I can't think of 10 things right now, but that is a lovely idea for a Hub. Maybe I should get on the phone and talk to the exes. Hold it right there! I'm not speaking to those guys! Not in YEARS. No mas, no mas!
"BOB'S NEW WIFE IS A KNOCK-OUT!" haha there's no fault for telling the truth. very truthful and hilarious hub! voted up!
How do you do, Sir. This is really fun hub to read. Thank you for making me laugh.
Hi Kenneth
Move over Dr. Phil. Relationship expert Kenneth Avery is here.
Voted up up and away!
Have a great weekend my dear friend.
Thanks for reading my hub about the "11 Nerdy I Love You Illustrations"! However, you were mistaken in saying that I had left a comment in your hub "Seven Things Women Should Never Hear From Men". It was the "In Laws" hub that I have just commented on... (Well technically, I have left a comment on this hub by writing this... since you mentioned the title in your comment) So I had to read this hub, like pronto.
I hope I did not confuse you just now. :) Anyway, I had a blast reading through this hub. The "I Love You Too Mildred" part probably brought home the bacon. AHHA.
And I agree with Sueswan above for putting you in par (even higher) than Dr. Phil! Five thumbs up for this writer! (If only I have five thumbs!)
I can only pray that you will find a really decent cafe soon so that you can afford such strife. It's the "semi-decent" that is getting you everytime. Surround you and your wife with excellence and believe me, it won't matter what you say to her! Also, continued and constant access to all credit cards and bank accounts pretty much does it for me. I could care if the guy is obtuse - just show me the money! (now, you know I'm not really like this, otherwise, why would I be so poor?) Good Hub Ken! I am glad you are educating yourself and others about women. Finally!! :)
I believe I am already a follower. For about two-three months already. :)
You cracked me up at the TV show host's line above. I would look forward to that tropical bird depression star-studded segment.
Thanks!
Well, you've done it again - created a masterpiece! Great hub, King of Hub, keep up the good work. Hope you're feeling better. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
You are spot on with this list!
Great Hub, and voted up +!
this is so funny and true... wow.. you know... I love it... and thank you for writing it..very enjoyable.. I voted up..
ROFL! Rated up/funny!
I knew I was about to get a well-needed laugh when you said you were starting with the least offensive... and then opened up with "YOU REALLY WEIGH THAT MUCH?" HAHAHA
Awesome satire voice - fun read! Thank you!!
ahaha great article !! thanks for sharing if only all guys knew this :D
So, so true! And I really love your solution. How hard is it to THINK about what you're saying before you say it! Haha. Nice hub. Thanks for the info! :)
Good advice Ken - all great points:) lol Thanks for the laughs! And I will share it with my husband too:)
Voted up, Entertaining!!
Well I did have some issues for 3 months....my uncle had a car accident and a traumatic brain injury (as of 8/2/2011). I took care of him and helped rehab him. He just went home and is doing amazingly good but I tell ya - that's a tough job! I didn't have much time to spare so I am really looking forward to more free time! Lol
Kenneth, you really do know women! Good for you. Another great Hub that brought me my daily laugh...thanks!
You are a true Southern gentleman and I'm sure your mom is very proud.
I talk to my mom all the time (she passed away in '07) and tell her I hope I'm making her proud. I'm sure your mom will tell you that you did great! I'm glad I could provide you with a boost in your day. Hubpages is a great place to come to when you're feeling down. There are so many great hubs to read and, like yours, to make you laugh or brighten your day. From a southern belle to a southern gentleman, I hope your days only get better and better.
This hub is a so funny; it is a pleasure to read. Sometimes I feel sorry for men because they just don't seem to know some of those words they should keep to themselves. Women can be fairly sensitive, but I have seen the same characteristic in some men also. It is smart to think before speaking obviously and it more easily done when the individual is sober.
Thanks so much kenneth, you are truly a doll!
Hi Kenneth,
I agree with catgypsy. You are a doll. :-)
I'm glad it cheered you up and I meant every word!
Great hub,one major thing for me would have to be when we say how we need to lose weight,and the man's reply is start giving us diet tips.That one will get a man smacked hard lol.
That will do fine, Kenneth! Have a Happy New Year1
LOL! Kenneth you nailed it on this too! OMG! You are hilarious! I truly enjoyed it and thanks for sharing! You're awesome! :)
Sounds good Kenneth. Looking forward to any new hubs from you! I will be staying in for New Years...as you get older, you just don't care about the "partying" as much! Besides, I can't drink with some of the meds I'm on, so it will be a safe, quiet, no hangover New Year...haha!
I don't miss the party days either! You do plenty to encourage me, just by knowing you enjoy my Hubs. Funny how all the "wild" stuff we do in our youth comes back to haunt us later, huh? If we only knew then what we know now, but we probably still would have done it...haha. Have a good sleep tonight!
You take care too,
Kenneth
LOL! This is a brutally honest list of things that guys should never ever have the mistake of telling their WAGs. Well-written! You gave me a good laugh here :) If I may add, guys ought to keep away from the subject of make-ups. Women LOVE make-ups while most men hate too much of them. So to be safe, guys should rather call attention to their WAGs' cakey foundation or out-of-line lipstick indirectly. That should keep the peace and quiet in the relationship. Have to vote this one up and useful and funny!
LOL but so true!While I find this list really funny I have to admit that yes men should have more sensitivity...I am a woman and I know that though we complain about our weight, our shape and the way we look, we don't really want to hear our men agree with us...what we want to hear from our special someone is an appreciation of how we look (no matter what), find a way to say something nice...just don't agree that we do not look good or that we look our age or anything like that. love it and will be reading more. voted up and following now.
You are an incredible suck-up to women, and I so desperatly need to learn from you! Great Hub!
Dear Kenneth,
After reading your nice comments in my red flags hub, I just had to check out some of your many hubs. And I'm glad I did! You are a world class writer and it's a privilege to cross paths with you. I think I enjoyed reading your reader comments just as much as the hub itself. Yep, I think it's official, you ARE a doll. A truly awesome man. I'm happy to be a fan and rate up your hubs.
