11 things you should never ever say when dating a lady
Not all compliments come off as good. Here’s a countdown of the 11 things you should never ever think of saying.
11. “You clean up nicely.”
‘So, you mean I always look like sh*t?’ Believe it or not, this is what a woman will think once you say it to her even though you clearly mean no offense. It’s one thing that a woman wants to look nice or attractive most of the time without makeup and a fancy dress.
10. “You look so young!”
This is a not so nice compliment especially to those who struggled all their lives to look like a grown-up because you mean to say, after trying all the growing up thing, nothing really happened? Like, seriously?
9. “You’d be prettier if you smiled more.”
Okay. We get it that we have this ‘Resting Bitch Face’ but you don’t have to remind us, you know. Besides, who gets to go through her entire day with a smile put on like it’s plastered? No normal human being. So next time, instead of telling us to smile, we’d appreciate it if you put in the effort to make us do so. You can try to make us laugh or smile without even being imposing.
8. “You have a great personality.”
Yeah, this may sound nice, but no. When you say something general, we’ll probably be just saying a polite ‘thanks’ but at the back of our minds, we’re thinking why you did not compliment our face or our body. It’s kind of a lame compliment, especially if we haven’t met before. How’d you know that I got great personality after barely 10 minutes of talking?
7. “You’re not like other girls.”
This may sound cheesy. Of course, women would want to stand out among the others but then when we finally sort this ‘compliment’ in our heads, we’ll finally be realizing that this man thinks that ‘all girls are sh*t’.
6. “You’re so innocent!”
Trust us, we don’t want to hear this. No woman would want to be referred to as innocent in any context, whether be it sex, travel, or any other stuff. Makes us feel that we haven’t done anything worthy to be termed as experience. We’ll retaliate by bringing up every bold thing we did and achieved, just so you know we’re not ‘innocent’.
5. “You look like a girl who knows how to have a good time!”
This makes us feel like we said something that makes you think we are easy to get into bed. A decent lady will never want to come off as easy. You’ll be definitely be insulting her with this.
4. Anything that ends with ”for a girl”.
Things like, “You are pretty smart for a girl” is not a compliment. Period. This connotes a very sexist statement, which is surprising in a modern world where women should be treated equally as men. So, don’t you dare go there.
3. “You’re so bubbly.”
Well guys, unfortunately, here’s what bubbly means in the Urban Dictionary:
bubbly
A euphemism for “fat and annoying”. Used mainly by girls to describe themselves in an attempt to block out the harsh realities of life.
2. “I like a girl with meat on her bones.”/”You look healthy.”
Never, and I say NEVER mention a lady’s weight even if you want to give a compliment. Better if you say, “you’d look better if you lost a few pounds… but you’ll do.” Also, do not use “This girl knows how to eat.” Why? Because you’re opening the door to our insecurities.
1. “That was one of your best ideas!”
So you mean to say that we totally said only nonsense the whole time we’re together? That we are not capable of doing something awesome? Well, unless it’s a compliment regarding our inventions, never ever say this to a lady.
