Eye-Roll Inducing: 21 Phrases Men Use That Drive Women Crazy!

Women have to put up with many dumb things that men do, including saying these phrases that all women hate.

“I’m A Nice Guy”

If a guy were so lovely, he would not need to explain himself to women. The good guys are nice without even trying, and the ones who insist they are good usually have something to hide.

“You Sound Like My Mother”

One of the most prominent insults men can give a woman is to say they sound like their mother. Some mothers-in-law happen to be charming people, but comparing your wife to your mom is out of line.

“Relax”

When a man tells a woman to “relax” or “calm down,” the woman they are talking to will do anything but relax. A woman is likely to become more stressed when a man patronizes them.

“I’ll Do It Later”

When a man tells a woman that he will do something later, the chances are he will not do it at all. In a man’s world, later does not always come.

“You Should Smile More”

Women do not owe men anything, and that includes a smile. The most likely response to a woman being asked to smile by a man is for them to pull the creepiest face or utter enough curse words that the man will never dare ask a question again.

“Is It Your Time of The Month?”

Yes, a woman may change her mood when her hormones fluctuate at certain times of the month, but the last thing they need is to be questioned by a man.

“Stop Being So Emotional”

A woman has every right to express her emotions as she sees fit, and being told they are overreacting by a man is only likely to heighten her emotions even more. What women want is for their feelings to be validated.

“Make Me A Sandwich”

They are ordering a woman to make your food, the best way to get said sandwich thrown at your head. Men are perfectly capable of making their sandwiches.

“When Will Dinner Be Ready?”

Just as demanding that a woman makes them food is unacceptable, assuming that they will always be the ones to make dinner is a poor attitude. Nowadays, men and women share dinner responsibilities, and any man who refuses should be single.

“Can We Be More Than Friends?”

If a man’s friend asks you to be more than friends, it can be a relief as you feel the same. However, many women who do not have romantic intentions towards their friends cannot think of anything worse to hear.

“Men Are More Logical”

Women can be just as logical as men, so for a man to say they are better than women is an insult.

“You are Good, For a Girl”

Women can be good at anything they put their minds to, and it is down to their skills rather than luck. To be told you are good at something despite being a “girl” is very condescending, and this type of language needs to stop.

“Is It Because I’m A Man?”

When a man cannot take no for an answer or think they are entitled to something, they may ask if it is because they are a man. In reality, some men are just not good at some things and their sex.

“It’s Not You It’s Me”

When a man says, “It’s not you, it’s me,” it is a cop-out from telling a woman why he wants to end a relationship.

Using The Word Female Instead of Woman

Using the word female instead of woman is often linked to men with a sexist attitude who do not validate women. Women should be respected by being referred to how they want to.

Boys Will Be Boys

Boys will be boys is used when a man does something wrong or dumb. Rather than owning up to something or being mature, they will downplay their actions because they are men.

“Cheer Up, It Might Never Happen”

Like “you should smile more,” telling a woman to cheer up is a surefire way to keep her in a bad mood. Often, a woman may not be in a bad mood; they don’t want to smile for a man.

“Not all Men”

Rather than acknowledge a woman’s upset at an action that a man has done to them, some men will say, “Not all men.” Women know that not all men are dumb, but they don’t need to hear it; they need support.

“You Don’t Need Make-Up”

Women may not need make-up, but whether they do or not is of no man’s concern. Let women live and do what they want, make-up or not.

“Did You Say Something”

If we did something, you would have heard us if you were listening! Men must choose when they want attention and comedy. They will miss out on something important.

“You Run Like a Girl”

When a man says, “you run like a girl,” most people wonder what exactly they mean by this and how dare they say it in a derogatory way. Is there a way that girls run? We don’t think so.
