Top 10 Phrases Every Girlfriend Hates

Some men don't think twice when they say a certain phrase, yet it can deeply insult their girlfriend. Most of the time, males have no idea they did or said something wrong. Meanwhile, women can get angry at you for not noticing that your remark was offensive enough. 

Today you will find out what phrases are better to avoid when talking to a girl. Here are the worst things you can unintentionally say to a woman. 

1. “Relax” 

Not only does it sound condescending and patronizing, but this phrase also doesn't make any sense. Imagine hurting your finger so bad that you want to scream. Will it hurt less if someone told you to calm down? No, emotional responses don't work like that. And by degrading someone's emotional side, you're invalidating their feelings. Women get emotional very easily, sometimes out of physiological reasons or your real faults. By telling her to calm down, you want to eliminate the noise without having to deal with the reason for negativity. And it sounds more than objectifying. Instead of telling her to “relax,” ask her girlfriend what made her so sad. 

2. “You look tired” 

You know that many women are image-conscious, so everything connected to her outer flaws and untidiness is a double insult. By telling her “you look tired,” you 

imply that she doesn't look her best. Instead of using this phrase, just keep it simple and ask her how she's doing. 

3. “You look stunning. Did you lose weight?” 

If you think it's a compliment, think twice. In a woman's head, you imply that she used to look heavier and less attractive. Instead of saying that, tell her that she's getting finer all the time without mentioning her past looks. 

4. “You finished all of this yourself?!” 

It is one of the rudest things to ever say to a girl. While men love when their partner eats healthy, saying it as a form of encouragement, women find this compliment horrible. All she heard is, “Do you have an eating disorder? You should be ashamed of eating so much!” The same goes for complimenting her small portions. That way she might think that you are a diet enabler. Too complicated? Don't worry, just abstain from diet commentaries. 

5. “You should smile more often, you are too serious!” 

Everyone said this awkward phrase to a girl at least once in a lifetime. How would you like to hear this sentence? Does it make a lot of sense to you? Don't you think that people usually smile for a reason? Men can't forget this phrase. They keep telling it to American, British, Russian girls – yet the objectification doesn't know geographical borders. Some men think that woman is an eye-pleasing unit, which is not true for more than two centuries. And yes, she feels said and doomed as well sometimes. 

6. “It is not ladylike” 

What is ladylike anyway? Is it being submissive to a man, putting on makeup, cooking, and cleaning in a flared skirt? Women don't always want to dress according to their gender. Sometimes they even want to pursue a career and find a hobby. Asking a woman to be ladylike is very sexist. 

7. “You look good for your age" 

This is one of the phrases you should avoid by any means. Even if you adore how she looks in 55, mentioning it will make her remember that she is not a teenage girl anymore. It is better to compliment her looks and then stop without mentioning the age part. 

8. “At least I never…” 

Many men use this phrase to point at women's flaws in return to avoid any responsibility for their own faults and failures. Instead of facing the truth, some 

men choose to mock stereotypical “female flaws” as opposing to their inattentiveness or harshness. 

9. “Why are you always like that?” 

By mentioning this phrase, you stick a certain behavior to your girl like a tag. She is more than an untidy bedroom or PMSing. 

10.“You act like a typical woman” 

After centuries of abuse and patriarchy, even the word “woman” is used in a negative connotation to point at a crying and overly attached emotional being. You should forget about this and any similar sexist phrases altogether.
