Nothing quite ruins a guy’s mojo like being hit with a certain specific phrase by a woman in his life, or that he’d like to see more of in his life. Sometimes you’re being baited. Sometimes it’s a clear sign of trouble ahead, and you clearly didn’t know how significant of a problem it was until it was too late.
With that said, here are five big phrases no guy ever wants to hear uttered his way by someone of the female persuasion:
- We Should Just Be Friends – This is what’s also known as “bait.” If you’re not dating, but you’d like to, it means that you’re a nice guy, but she has no interest in seeing you naked. If you’re dating, but she’s trying to let you down easy, your best play is to simp around for a couple of weeks, then disappear and start looking for someone new. You’ll either find someone new, or she’ll realize that you have options, too…and starting pining for you again
- It’s the Perfect Size – It’s no secret that guys are obsessed with the size of their junk, and the size issue is made worse by the wonder-dongs you’re seeing in porn. That sympathetic “you’re fine just the way you are” almost always falls on deaf ears and stings to hear. That’s not her fault, though. She’s doing the best she can in a situation she can’t relate to. In this instance, the onus is on you to finally learn that you can’t do anything about…and need to learn to work with what you’ve got and be proud
- I Don’t Usually Do This – Unless she’s just out of high school…with very few exceptions…she’s done it or tried to do it. She’s just trying to make you feel special by insinuating that you’re the special one she’s willing to open that door with. Don’t roll your eyes or call it out, though…that’s a sure way to keep whatever’s going on from ever happening again
- I’m Fine – It’s never…ever…”fine,” and when you finally press the issue enough you’ll find out why…and how it’s your fault. From here, own your crap, and accept responsibility if it really was your fault…or be prepared for the impending “whatever” that’s going to come when she realizes she might’ve been wrong, but doesn’t want to admit it
- Can We Talk? – For some reason, this one comes mostly when you’re in bed and about to go to sleep. The correct answer is, “Not right now because I need to go to sleep, but we can talk about it tomorrow.” What you’ll do instead is say, “Sure,” and then be a zombie at work the next day because that quick chat took three hours…and the subject matter kept you from sleeping the rest of the night
