5 Things You Should Never Say to a Woman
10/08/2007

Ever said something you thought was completely innocent to an angry woman - trying to be a good guy and diffuse the situation - only to have your words add fuel to the fire? Yeah, me too. It's a regular occurrence, like the changing of the tides, or our president mispronouncing a word. But Sarah Miller, a relationship expert over at Men's Health, has a list of the worst things you can say to an angry woman. Along with some phrases you should be using. (Memorize them, men.)

The big five no-no's are:
1 - "Relax." (Apparently telling a woman who is freaking out to relax, is akin to telling her she has no reason to be upset. Never a good idea.)

2 - "I love you" when said during a fight. (This one is only to be used after the fight.)

3 - "It's up to you." A.K.A. "Whatever you want to do is fine with me."
(You're basically telling her you don't care.)

4 - "You knew I was this way when you married me." (Good idea, blame her for not realizing you're a jackass.)

5 - Saying nothing at all. (In this case, silence is not golden.)

In the article Miller gives suggestions for what you can say in place of each of these, as well as the "magic words", three phrases you can use as a get-out-of-jail-free-card when something you've done causes her to open up a six-pack of bitch on your sorry ass.
