13 Things You say That piss Girlfriends off

Earlier, i posted a write-up listing ten things you should not say boyfriend and promised to post things boyfriends should not say to their girl friends. Again, this one was written by another person on nairaland

"Well, it is not only the guys that have things they hate about ladies, we too have been tolerating you. Forget those smiles and winks, forget those blushes, if only you can see our hearts. I will be writing on things you say that we hate. For God sake, don't ever think you are on top of your game. Most time, it is the need to socialize that allows us to listen to most of your boring talks. Gosh, here are 13 of them that makes me want to rip a man's head off.


1. Random Smile Requests

What has to be the worst of the things men say that women hate is that we hate to smile. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful, but more often than not I am asked to share a grin while minding my own business. You see a woman on the road or stopping to buy something in a store and all you do is walk up to her and ask her to smile. What da?? Guns should be legalized!!!

2. Dissin’ Your Job

Perhaps you're not exactly using your university degree. This doesn't give a man the right to pat you on the head and brush off your moneymaker as "just a job." In today’s economy he should be glad you’re employed, period! If you don't work, they look at you as a gold digger. If you do, they get scared and refuse to approach you. Men, you just have to live with it. Housewives don't exist anymore. What we have now is called, "Career Wives".

3. When He Describes Another Woman

There is nothing wrong with giving harmless compliments. We girls are guilty of looking twice at a hot dude, right? However, even the most confident woman doesn't want to hear her man go on and on about how big someone's butt is. Oh my God, Ada, Amaka's Bottom is what me and my colleague call a mountain. Mba, unless you want a fork in your eyes, do not talk about my friend's butt in that manner.

4. It's Complicated

Seriously, girls, any man over the age of 18 knows what he wants, or doesn't want, in a relationship. It’s time for him to define the status! He knows what he likes in a car and in a sneaker; his choice in a woman is no different. Either he's all in or he's not, so don't accept things as merely "complicated." What's so complicated about making choice hun?

5. His Take on plus-sized Women

Just because I'm a size eight doesn't give me the right to make fun of voluptuous women. Same holds true for the men. Yet, I have been on several short-lived dates where I've the line "I don't like fat chicks!" managed to fall out of the mouths of idiots. Tell me I’m not alone here!   

6. The Infamous Cat Calls

In what is borderline intimate harassment, a cat call gets on my last nerve! What is a cat call, you ask? By all means, take your pick: hey baby; yo, baby; baby girl. Clearly, some men have a deep-seated issue with parenting, or the lack thereof. Cat calls are annoying, demeaning, and ridiculous!   

7. His Sex Drive

Men like to impress women by boasting about how skilled he is in the bedroom. Somewhere, they were told that talking about what they can do to us is a good idea. Unless there is a video available for download, he shouldn't be bragging about his sex drive. A real man doesn’t have to brag, anyway. However, it makes for an interesting challenge though. Truth or dare, anyone?   

8. Talking about Their Ex

Whether he is comparing or talking trash about her, the fact is you don’t want to hear about his ex. We don’t care if she would always burn everything she cooked, didn’t help pay rent, or wore oversized outfits. Women want to know how you like their cooking, how you appreciate their help, and how much you love the way their jeans fit. However, we don’t want to hear how much better than your ex we are. Simple!!! 

9. If You Love Me Then

This is a big no-no... right, ladies?! How much do you hate it when your guy says, “Well, if you love me then you’ll do this for me?”...not! Yes, we love you, but if you love us you wouldn’t say things like that. Grow out of it. You can never put us in a tight corner.  

10. Dissin’ Your Friends

Other than dissin’ our job, men should also know better than to diss our friends, especially one that we’ve known since childhood. Your friend may not be perfect, but she’s always there when you need her. So what if she’s always running late or she loves her wine? As long as she isn’t taking advantage of you, he should respect that she’s always going to be your friend. He doesn’t have to like her, but just be respectful. A word is enough, unless you want me running off on our wedding day.  

11. You’re Just like Your Mother

Oh no he didn’t! Not only is he dissin’ your mother, but he is also dissin’ you! So, by saying you’re just like your mother, does he not like your mom? Also, if your mom does have her issues, is he saying that you have those issues too? It’s just not a place he really wants to go, so guys, don’t go there! Put a tape on your mouth. Women could be violent too you know  

12. You Remind Me of My Mother

Other than hearing we’re just like our own mother, we also don’t want to hear that we remind you of your mother! Even if your boyfriend’s or husband’s mother is amazing, we just don’t want to hear it. The relationship men have with their wives shouldn’t be compared to the one he has with his mom. Cut that hand that you use in holding tight to your mother's wrapper. Some men are still boys, calling their mum into everything. 

13. Are You   ?

We’ve all been there and have heard it since our teen years from guys and girls: “Is it that time of the month?” or “Are you seeing it?” Do they really want the answer to that?! Although we’ve heard it from some of our girl friends, it is just worse when we hear it from a guy. Our girls can relate and will actually help us eat a tub of ice cream! However, no guy will ever understand, so they just shouldn’t ask!   


So these are a few of the topics, filled with things men say that women hate. It’s about time the fellows know that silence is golden. Here’s a tip for the men reading this: shut the hell up! Ladies, do you have any more to add to this list? What things do men say that make your blood boil?"
