10 Things Guys Should Never Say If They Ever Want To See You Again

Dumb Guy

Ah, men. So endearing. So easily confused. We know we women aren’t the easiest people in the world to figure out, and it’s all too easy for a guy to open his mouth and say something that’s an instant dealbreaker. Whether the subject is sex, weight, or love, here are a few lines that should send you ladies running for the hills if you hear them from your dude. Feel free to add yours in the comments!

1. “What did you say your name was again?

2. “Well, I was in love with you. Now I’m not so sure.”

3. “Did I ever tell you that I didn’t actually go to Harvard?”

4. “I can’t feel anything.”

5. “Come to think of it, those jeans do make you look fat.”

6. “I forgot my wallet.”

7. “I don’t have a condom, but I have sex all the time without a condom, and I’ve never gotten anyone pregnant.”

8. “I do not smell like a strip club!”

9. “Without you, I am a spineless loser.”

10. “I cry a lot.”

For #6—i don’t carry a wallet so i have no worries.
For #7—I’d run screaming from myself for saying something so dumb.
For #8—I don’t know of any woman who would want to hang around you if you smelled like a strip club. Or any other club for that matter.

I can’t speak for all women, but I can’t say I’ve heard most of these from men I’ve spoken with.

Having been bosom-ly blessed, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve actually been asked, “are they real?” Most of the time these guys are truly wasted… but not always. Mind you this has *never* happened with anyone I was actually dating.

I went on a first date after a long training run (20 miles) and to fill some dead air - after I’d eaten not quite half my entree and was feeling pretty full - mentioned that I was surprised I wasn’t hungrier, since I’m usually starving a few hours after a long run. Admittedly, there are better first-date filler topics, but his response of “Well, you’ve already eaten a lot.” caught me enough off-guard to respond “Um, that’s one of those things you NEVER say to a woman.” Especially when you’ve cleaned your plate and she hasn’t even eaten half of her meal. That wasn’t ultimately the deal-breaker, but it definitely contributed to the lack of a second date.

@QTKT - oh man, that one’s fun. The good news is that as soon as anyone says that to me, I know they are not the sort of well-mannered person I would like to hang out with, so it makes friendship/date selection easy.

Calling a spade a spade here - probably the most absurd list I’ve ever seen on here.

My lovely man has no filter himself - in fact he recently told me that he’d been dishing about me to a girl friend of his who said, because I remembered how long we’d been dating, that I was needy and co-dependant (jealous much, sista?). He thought it would be funny to tell me, because he knew it not to be true. I wasn’t laughing so much ... but I’m still with the filterless fool. He’s refreshing. He’d only tell me I looked fat if I asked him and it were true, and, well ... wouldn’t I be technically asking for it?

I haven’t ever been told any of these but I have heard “If you’d say yes…I’d marry you RIGHT NOW!” literally 15 minutes into a first date. And then the poor guy continued to obsess and call and text 10 times a day. I don’t know how the other ladies feel, but the second the words “I’d marry you” flew out of his mouth, I wanted to fling myself out of his truck.

True story: I started dating this guy as a senior in high school and the guy had just started college. After our first date his roomate calls me and basically says if I do anything to hurt this guy, then he would come after me. I was thinking if anything, my friends should be calling and harassing him (even though either way it’s stupid)! Needless to say he did not stick.

This article (and the comments) was rather refreshing because I dated a guy who had a knack for putting his foot in his mouth, and he never would realize it. For instance never tell a girl “You’re not the most beautiful woman, but I’m dating you” or my personal favorite, telling me that he was ring shopping 1 month into our relationship. Needless to say he’s very single now. BTW- #10 about crying, he’d pull that too so that he always looked like the victim. Sorry but I don’t need a guy who crys more than I do.

Thankfully, these all came from guys who I wasn’t dating (but it was a possibility until they shared these gems!)

Should you really be eating that (insert donut, cookie, second plate of lasagna, burrito, ..... the list goes on!)
It’s none of his business what I eat and how much I eat…. unless I have a dangerous food allergy he knows about!

Show me your boobies!

Want kids?

What size of bra do you wear?

I can look at you and guess what kind of panties you are wearing (ugh!! lol. he went on to guess several times and still get it wrong while I tried to change the subject and be the tactful one) 

And my favorite,

I can tell just by looking at you if you’ve ever had anal sex before. (WTF?!?!)

I have a pretty good list of #&@$% things a guy has said to me including both 2. “Well, I was in love with you. Now I’m not so sure.” and 6. “I forgot my wallet.”

“Yea, but for a slut, she was pretty tight” And he was speaking sexually of course. I’m sorry I don’t remember the context that was said in.

“She could get anyone she wanted” To which I’m fairly certain I responded, “oh yea, even you?”

There was one time, he stopped the car to watch a girl walk by and I was like “uhm?” and he said, “i’m sorry, I had to look, those are just the tightest pants I’ve ever seen. I’m not even sure they are pants”

Him: “Jessica Alba, she’s like a ten”
Me: “So what does that make me?”
Him: “I don’t know, like an 8”
I wasn’t sure if I should have been flattered by that or not, I was just so thrown off he’d said that.

“In class, when I’m bored, I just look around at all the girls and imagine which ones I would like to screw”

There are others I’m sure, but most I’ve tried hard to forget.

@QTKT - I thought that just happened to me!  smile  Since this “question” has come lately from much younger men/boys, I use this as an opportunity to educate them that there are some things you do NOT ask a lady whom you don’t know well.

Here’s my favorite gem, and it’s happened twice in my life, albiet once was over 10 years ago, in bars:  random dude, drinking a cocktail, is flirting with me and I’m flirting back. He goes into serious seduction mode with the locking eyes and hand on my forearm (which is resting upon the bar) move and says, licking his lip slightly “I can make you come.”

To which the best of responses is:  “Fool. I can do that myself!”

In all those poor mens defense, i have to admit that i am guilty of #1 actually worse, way back when in my wild youthfull days, i meet a guy at a club….we ended up hookin up the same night, yea the next day I realized that i couldn’t remember his name….lol; the worst part was that he became my bootycall for a while, but after the first night it was just too akward to ask for his name, so i just called him baby until our illicit affair ended…the funny thing is i am still bad with names….lol

I’ve gotten a variation on #1. 

I also dated a guy who, looking back on it, probably had Asperger’s.  He really had no understanding of how to behave in social situations, had no empathy, and said really awkward things (when he said anything at all).  I once playfully asked what he liked most about me, and he responded, “Your vagina.”  Ummmmm, not quite what I meant…

@ShineyPink My husband told me once that I’d look cute pregnant, but we were trying to have a baby at the time! LOL I thought it was cute.

And yeah I’ve been asked if my boobs were real before (not by my husband though). I don’t know what makes people think that sort of thing is ok.

I was kinda seeing this guy (more like just sleeping together).  I am a very opinionated person and tell people my opinions.  So he tells me that, “when you are taking about things that are important to me, I find it really annoying and I don’t care what you are saying and I ignore you.”  I didn’t know what to respond.  I was just so shocked that anyone would just come out and say that!

Said to me by an ex-boyfriend immediatley after I finished giving him a blow job: “I haven’t gotten any really good head since I went to Europe in high school.” Needless to say, he recieved no more blow jobs from me.
Also, and this is from the same guy, I said once that I thought my hair was my best feature. His response? “I dunno, you’re boobs are pretty nice.”

Once upon a time I was at a bar and a random boy sits down next to me and starts up a conversation. I’m not terribly interested, but he seems nice so I talk to him for a bit. His friend walks over to chat with him, and I turn back to my friends. Then, his friend starts grilling me about how creepy I thought his friend was, as in “on a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate my friend as someone who would attack you in a dark alley.” Any guy who starts asking a girl (who does not know him well) about whether he is creepy or not definitely risks being seen as more of a creeper than he would if he never asked at all. I had not thought this dude’s friend was creepy before, but I definitely was uncomfortable by the end of that interaction. . .

Same guy, said two things. I would have run after #1—but unfortunately he was a friend of a friend of a friend in a group at an amusement park…

I pointed out a guy wearing short “euro shorts”. His response: “If I wore shorts that short, my penis would be hanging out.” Cue dirty look. TMI.

He started a story with, “This one time me and my buddy and I were both getting a massage, and we thought that we’d heard they do happy endings…”

Stopped listening. Ew.
