- You’re not that strong
Unless you’re talking about a Superman type of strength like lifting a building, you’ve just made him feel inadequate.
- I’m so much taller than you!
It doesn’t matter how tall a guy actually is, calling him short, even if it’s just because of the shoes he’s wearing or something, bruises his ego.
- Aren’t these condoms too big for you?
Never call a man’s length or girth into question, at least to his face. That goes for his whole body, and doubly so for his penis.
- I can’t cuddle you. Your body is hard and soft in all the wrong places
You just told him, his body is like a bag of garbage. No matter how you try to spin it, men don’t like it.
- Oh, wow. You can really do a pull-up?
Some men can and others can’t. You can never be right with this sentence because if they can’t, you’ve just rubbed salt in the wound, and if they can, you’re just saying they look incapable. Mean either way.
- Why do you just sit on the couch and play video games all day?
This is like asking a man why he eats every day; the simple answer is because he wants to and loves doing it.
- Can’t you just finish yourself off?
Honestly, men can. It’s called masturbating. It’s a thing they can do whenever they want, like when a woman isn’t available to do it for them. But, they don’t need you saying it to their face when you are around.
- I wish I could find a boyfriend that’s as kind and funny as you
The look on the man’s face after this statement says, you can, it’s the person you’re saying this to.
- Your sister is hot
This sentence automatically turns into a fight if the person asking is a man and they feel really weird if it is coming from a female
- Have you ever thought about waxing your back?
You are indirectly saying “your back is like that of an animal”. Men detest that.
- You’re like a brother to me
Plain and simple, what you meant was, “I feel really close to you and your relationship is important to me,” what they heard was “I don’t find you sexually attractive in any capacity.” Putting men in the bro zone makes them uncomfortable.
- Wait, you actually go to the gym?
Men actually look at you like “What aspect of that is shocking to you?” then they contemplate if you meant they are too skinny or not strong enough.
Bonus: You have a really unique penis
Is that your way of saying it’s weird, small, or big? We know penises come in all sorts of shapes but the only thing a man will remember is you criticised his penis not complemented it.
