I feel for guys. I really do. Sometimes, it’s nearly impossible to know the right thing to say to women. So, I’ve written up a guide on ways to stay safe. Consider this your owner’s manual, gentlemen.
If this topic is popular, I might make this into its own series.
Bad/Better/Best
Bad: I don’t know what is your color, but that isn’t it.
Better: Are you sure you want to wear that dress?
Best: You look younger than the day I met you.
Bad: I’m not sure that’s low-fat.
Better: The salad might be a good choice.
Best: How many boxes of chocolate would you like, honey?
Bad: Is there a reason why dinner isn’t ready, yet?
Better: Would you like help making dinner?
Best: Which of these five restaurants would you like to eat at? I will carry you there “Officer and a Gentleman” style.
Bad: I wish you would quit your badgering.
Better: What are you so worked up about?
Best: Here is an apology upfront for future offenses.
Bad: Being with you makes your sister look a little better every day.
Better: Of course you’re beautiful. I’m with you, aren’t I?
Best: You’re so vibrant that I have to wear shades indoors.

My favorites from my husband: “Why are you acting so crazy?” and “There is no use making yourself crazy about it.” Makes me want to show him what “crazy” can really look like! LOL

Ha! Right? Guys DO have it rough. We are pretty hard to live with sometimes. But we are SO totally worth it. :)

I think the worst are:
“Is there a reason why dinner isn’t ready, yet?
and,
“Being with you makes your sister look a little better every day.”
Of course, only a man who wants a divorce would say the second line-then run.
