People have such a thing as white lie. That is, of course, we are all taught from childhood to always tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But there are situations when we are clearly aware that if we tell everything honestly, there will be much more problems than if we lie or just remain silent.
This applies, in particular, to such a sensitive area as relationships, both for women and men. There are things that you should never, under any circumstances, tell your significant others - unless, of course, you don't want your marriage or partnership to be happy and lasting.
And so, a few days ago, a question appeared in the AskReddit community addressed to all men: "What's something boys can never tell their girlfriends?" As of today, the thread already has 13.8K of various comments, and the number of upvotes is way higher - almost 38.8K.
Bored Panda compiled a selection of the most popular, witty, unexpected and sometimes cynical comments for you, so feel free now to scroll to the very end and maybe add your own opinion in the comments. And if you are interested in a similar selection of women's opinions - then just open and definitely read this post of ours.

In my case "Whatcha thinking about?"
My wife asks me all the time and I've been day dreaming about what it would be like if I owned that McDonalds across the street and then after falling in a vat of radioactive fry grease was able to turn into Ronald at night. I would fight crime but only if it was food related and all of my weapons would be burger condiment themed. Then I'm thinking about aerodynamics of pickles as shurikans and what process I would use to make them sturdy and sharp enough to be lethal.
It's a lot easier to just say "spacing out" then see her cute face raise an eyebrow in concern if I'm working too much again.

Scrapiechick 3 years ago
As Iv gotten older ive learnt it's more about attitude and intent. When your single you interact with people differently than when you are in a relationship, because sometimes that regular behaviour is fine when your single but not if your in a monogamous relationship. It doesnt mean you're being controlled just that you respect your partner
Kate Jones 3 years ago
If we tell you not to worry, it's because it doesn't matter what the other guy wants- we don't want him. I wish guys would stop acting like women are naïve and don't know all the tricks guys pull. We invented manipulation of the opposite sex. Every time a guy says, 'it's not you I don't trust'-- you're basically saying you think I'm so weak-willed I'm going to cheat on you because I'm just so dumb and never saw it coming. I promise I did. If you cheat, that's your choice. I'm not sitting here thinking this woman somehow manipulated you into taking your pants off and having sex with her. Now that's not to say that some guy isn't an 'in emergency break glass' boyfriend. If we break up he might be the one we turn to to get over you. But I promise we already know if we're going to or would ever sleep with a guy long before they think they're getting us. We shaved, we put on matching underwear. It may seem like 'it just happened' but it didn't. Trust me.

Spudrump Jaymartinstein 3 years ago
This is a problem for both genders. BTW I won't speak for LGBTQ cause I'm hetero and don't know how their relationships work, so to avoid being ignorant I will speak for heteros. It's okay to have opposite gender friends, but when you're in a committed relationship it is not okay to just hang out with them alone or at their places. Things happen. Even if you'd never in a million years do something with said friend even when single, things happen. Out of nowhere these moments come on like a hurricane that takes away rational thought and control leading to regrets. Even if nothing does happen and those moments are avoided, commitment to monogamous partnership requires both trust AND respect. Respect enough for the one you love not to put them in positions of anxiety and emotional discomfort. Being in a monogamous relationship means personal sacrifice. Putting aside social behaviors, forsaking possibilities, leaving behind all desire for others, and compromise.

When you think about it that answer would actually be better. Why? Worms can (certainly) not enjoy a date like humans to. What would [she] even eat? Which would pose the question which species of worm we're dealing with. Not to mention: What if other people, who obviously don't know it, would kill her thinking they do you a favor? Or what if she accidentally falls down somewhere and either dies right then and there or gets squashed by something? No, if your special someone suddenly is a worm, keep him safe in a small terrarium and care for him, but don't take him out for a date (would he even know you're dating?).

Can't you just be happy you're with them now?? And a step further (and sorry to pick on guys for this one but it tends to be men 99% of the time), sometimes guys treat women like they're 'used up' or something if they dared have sex with someone or more than one partner before them. I feel like it's just so gross to need someone with less experience because you're insecure. All these guys who talk about how women are whores for sleeping with more than one guy-- if women waited until marriage I think rape would skyrocket. I mean seriously they complain when you aren't a virgin flower but those same guys pressure women to have sex or call women prudes if they don't 'put out'. If you are over the age of 25, unless you know you can both handle the conversation, just be happy you're with them now. Stop being so repressed about sex!

If you can't accept that someone or that numerous people proceeded you, then you probably shouldn't date at all.

Good. I want there to be others. I want there to be several others. I'm 33. I'm not trying to train up a virgin. I've only been in one long term relationship, and I married him. I messed up there. We both need an idea of what doesn't work for us, and that only happens through experience. It's the only way to learn.

I don't care about prior relationships. Just don't give me the play by play of past sexual experiences.

How gorgeous they are. Never comes out right. It's never as much as you want it to be.
tara 3 years ago
Been with now husband for over 30 years. From day one he called me beautiful and gorgeous. My response was you HAVE to say that you are dating me. Older me now realizes he doesn't have to say that he could just say nothing but in his eyes he thinks I am beautiful and that is all that truly matters. As the saying goes... beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

If you are not a friend or well-known acquaintance of the woman, don't make comments on her appearance ever. It just comes off weird from strangers. If I had a boyfriend and he told me I was gorgeous I'd think it was sweet (a lie, but sweet, lol). But if I just met you- it just comes off creepy, I don't care how nice you are or how innocently you intended it to be. There's just too much history of women getting it from creepy guys who we try to be nice to and just say 'thanks' and they take our acceptance of it as a sign of consent for more and it's not.

I dunno, my guy will just stare at me sometimes and seemingly means to say it to himself "damn you're beautiful" quietly. We haven't been together super long but I can 100% say I love this man. Not gonna say that to him for a few months probably since we've only been together around a month n a half.

The extent to which I spend money on movies, games, books, comics, etc.
But honestly, we have a mutually-assured-destruction-type deal going where she also doesn’t have to tell me how much all the plants and vintage clothes cost.
Edit: Huh, this got a lot bigger overnight. Just to address some things: there’s a level of playful overstatement here for comedic effect. We’re not spending catastrophic amounts of money on our hobbies. But you know how it is, sometimes you’d be weirded out about spending for hobbies you don’t share.
I’d also note that we do save, we both have solid jobs, and we’re financially stable overall. Thanks for the concern, though.

I understand fully. I am a BOOKWORM. I am eclectic in my choice of books. My books are everywhere. My dream is to one day own a house and turn the master bedroom into my personal library/craft room. Still trying to figure which crafts. But I have the books!

The real answer to the question
"What are you thinking about" when he dozed off again.
Deborah B 3 years ago
Just have something random cued up at all times, and tell her your brain goes off on weird tangents. "How many peanuts can a hamster hold in it's cheek pouches?" BTW, we tested this one as kids, by offering our peanut-obsessed siberian hamster peanut after peanut. She could stuff a maximum of 22 peanuts in her cheeks before she had to run and spit them out in her cache.

Arrgh.! God, why is this EVER treated as an acceptable question? If I wanted you to know I'd tell you. It may be innocuous, but it is private. Being in a relationship doesn't mean I give up the right to the privacy of my thoughts. It's not loving, it's grossly intrusive. Just bloody DON'T.

I'm not convinced that women understand that we can literally put our brains on standby and think about nothing at all. Sometimes we can spend hours not thinking about anything. We're not not thinking about you, we're not thinking about about anything.

I tend to blurt things out before I think sometimes. Driving down a road in the mid-west once (I’d grown up in large cities) I exclaimed “Oh that cow has such short legs!!!” I’d never seen a real sow! Good thing I never took it personally when my friends practically pissed themselves laughing.

Every guy has a list of animals they think they could beat in a fight, and list of scenarios why they might beat other animals in a fight.
We think about this more than we'd like to admit and will never share the full list.
Hannah Hudson-Lee 3 years ago (edited)
When you've worked in farming, that list is no longer a fantasy. My list goes: Sheep - yes, Cow - yes, Horse - yes, Pig - yes, Chicken - yes, Cockerell - yes, but it was close, Goat - currently a score draw, Goose - no, Emu - ⚰️🪦. ETA for "fight" read, "tried to give medicine to".

Me and my mate had this chat once about a cheetah, then we changed our mind after watching a cheetah attack a man. Ruined my entire list that did!

Saw a post yesterday of a list of animals a boss said he could take, couldn't take, and maybe could take. He said he could take a chimp and a wild boar, and would maybe take a moose. I would like to see a man try take a moose in a one on one.
Potato 3 years ago
Chimps and wild boars are also extremely powerful. Even a marine would likely get their a*s licked.

I could probably chase down a Quokka mother that threw her baby at me thinking I was a predator and being the gentleman I am, tend to the baby while running her down yelling, "Take your baby!" *Saying the word 'baby' like Moira Rose does on Schitt's Creek*

Spiders skitter along surfaces way too fast when spotted and then just vanish into the backrooms (imo) and moths require too much flailing (again imo). I would lose against both.

How much money they’ve lost in the stock market
BluEyedSeoulite 3 years ago
I know of a marriage that ended because one person wouldn't quit investing their entire life savings in the stock market. They were forgiven the first time (half the savings.) Did it a second time, last warning. Lost everything a third time, divorce.

That person is a gambling addict. People think because it's stocks, it's not addiction. They would be wrong

Lol one thing I would never tell a boyfriend is that I've grown up having ego-centric fantasies of being on a talk show and being interviewed by, like, Oprah or someone. I tell my life story or it's just a fun interview. I've had so many fake interviews it's very therapeutic. I've also had imaginary therapy, which-really- is ironic.

Yesterday I explained to my BF and his friend, I don't often speak to, the concept of death theme songs that my friends and I have agreed to. In the event that one of us decides to murder another, we have each selected a song that must be played before said murder so we know what's going down. Rules: has to be upbeat and from the 80's and the murder has to be non violent. We find it hilarious to play each other's songs while preparing dinner, or because one of my friends is my roommate, blaring her death theme in the hallway outside her door just before she wakes up...my BFs friend seemed concerned but agreed Take On Me was a good choice.
