27 Times Men Embarrassed Themselves By Saying Something Cringey, As Shared By Women In This Online Community
The prime time for memories of embarrassing things you said or did to come is when your brain is shutting down and you are trying to fall asleep. At this point, not only can you not sleep, but you contemplate if it’s worth talking to people anymore and you try to calm yourself down by telling yourself that nobody even remembers what you said or did and it’s only a big deal for you.
In most cases, others really don’t care if you messed up or have been a bit awkward, but there are times when they really can’t forget. At least these women on Reddit can’t forget how men told them something embarrassing or even inappropriate.

My manager looked at me and said with all of my male coworkers in the room, "I hope I can try you out in bed. You must be a freak."
I reported him and he was terminated.
My brother and I was in a car accident. The other drivers fault. It's kinda easy to see that my brother and I are siblings we keep out of eachothers space. Like we sit on opposite sides of a row of seats. They sued the insurance company and we had to go testify in court. The guy said loudly infront of the judge and lawyers that ofcourse I'd lie for my boyfriend I f**k him. The guys lawyer told him in not so quiet voice that we are siblings. He turned beet red and lost the case since the evidence clearly showed he was at fault. I had to wait till we left the court to laugh my a*s off.
I worked at dollar general for a short time after high school. I am biracial (black & white) and a white man I was ringing up winks at me and says “You know, I really like colored girls” and the guy behind him just said “DUDE?”
Dude I was talking to asked if I was looking to have kids. I said "not anytime soon" (I was 20!!) Proceeds to tell me my breasts would look great swollen with milk :)
The guy who took my virginity told me that I was “scientifically altered” because he was my first and that my mind “had been rewired to be attached to him” and that’s why he wanted to break up.
I said , “sure thing”
"Damn girl, are you as young as you look? Cuz I've got a white van just around the corner"
When I was 13 my friends and I were just walking down the street when a group of 16 year old boys across the street shouted to us that we looked old enough to take behind the bushes, we took off running and they followed us for a bit. It was terrifying!
Should have let out a Xena warrior cry and rushed them

So either a pervert or a pedo either way that’s a f****d up thing to say to a young lady
This is so gross! Predatory, paedophilic overall disgusting! This man should be prosecuted.
Wow, I wonder if he honestly thought he'd win a chance with her using that. Or did he just try to be annoying...smfh
Appropriate reply: Yeah, and I think I saw a police cruiser around the same corner too. Let me just go say hi.
“… but you’re not real asian-asian” a white dude explaining to me my being Indian isn’t asian
“I only like vulnerable girls. I want a girl who is reliant on me and will just cry on my shoulder.” That freaked me out, especially since I had mental health issues when we first started dating. Guess the mental state of his next girlfriend
It was Juneteenth and this man looks me up and down and says "I'd buy you if you were a slave, you look...strong..."
I was at church with my Dad and one of the old men came up. He pointed at me then looked at my Dad and said "I see you've brought your concubine with you."
This was after he had smacked my butt with a rolled up newspaper
I never went back there again
I was 19, married, pregnant with my second son, and working waiting tables and a guy that was sometimes a customer and sometimes a coworker told me I was obviously legal enough to not get him in trouble and looked young enough to please the “lover of young girls in him”…. Like what the actual f**k…
"God. I hate being around all these betas." We were at the gym. He was also 29 and i was 18. That whole 6 months was an embarrassment.
"YOU'RE JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER GIRLS... YOU TAKE MY PANCAKES AND LEAVE!!!!"
This was after he fought me for the bill despite the fact that I insisted on paying for myself and then I declined an offer for a second date.
He also said that he was so glad I wore a dress to the date because he thought that women who wear pants and don't have soft skin are overbearing feminists and he could not date someone like that. ANYWAY... I think you might see why I ended that fast.
“You look like a clown with all that makeup on” ~my (now ex) husband on our wedding day
After a date he asked “could I use your card and pretend it’s mine… I left mine at home and don’t want to look like a loser” I laughed because I thought it was some kind of weird joke but nope. He was 100% serious. We did not have a second date
What's wrong with your face?
I was working at the time as a customer service representative, so I couldn't respond without repercussions. He was referring to my freckles. Apparently he'd never seen a ginger before.
My husband's first words to me were, 'I like toast'. Things did get better after that.
“well if you’re going to move at least let me get you pregnant so you have a child to remember me with”
An no we were not dating and I wasn’t interested in him.
"Don't worry, my dear. I'll remember you every time I see my cat vomit, every time I hear a donkey bray and every time my indigestion makes my wish the ventilation in my bathroom was better."
I brought a guy out with my friends once and we were talking about nicknames family/friends gave us and he goes “my friends call me silver back gorilla because they recognize my alpha vibe”. Obviously a damn lie
A white man once said to me, a black woman, he could be the marshmallows to my hot chocolate. Cute but I had second hand embarrassment
Cute...and sounds like he was suggesting he is sweet. But it depends how he might describe his perfect hot chocolate - if is he says it's got to be rich, walk.
“Your arms are huge” I will never forget it, and am still trying to stop being insecure to show my arms in public.
I’m insecure abt my arms too, they are very hairy for a teen female, and a guy came up to me some time ago and said “dang, for a girl you have very hairy arms! You look like a bear!!” And proceeded to make growling noises and bear noises. He was really childish if you couldn’t tell, he also proceeded to point it out to everybody in the same classes as us for the rest of the week….
That he refused to do skincare or even wash his face because it was "girly".
Is tall, blonde, and has a beard. He keeps mentioning how he looks like a Viking whenever he comes into our work. Bro no one gives a f**k
Are you a boy or a girl? Really Really hurt my feelings.
I was an extra on a film set and I had to smoke a prop cigarette- I don't smoke but I was cool with it and had agreed prior to filming, thought it would be an interesting experience. I was doing a scene with an older (and incredibly attractive) Russian man. In between takes, I wasn't holding it between my fingers to give my hands a break, but there was also nowhere to put it so I was holding it differently. Dude snatches it from my hand, puts it between my fingers to show me the "correct way" and says "typical womans." I was immediately turned off.
Prior to shooting, I had noticed him and was low key crushing on him hard, so I was very excited to be picked doing the scene together. Well that took a complete 180.
After we wrapped around midnight, he approached and said ," It's very late, I could give you a ride home." I'm pretty sure it wasn't even offered as a question and more of a command, it made me uneasy. I guess it was more of a weird interaction, but the first thing was certainly embarrassing for me.
“Congratulations on your maternity leave!”
A regular customer said that to me. I am not pregnant…
I mean...it could have been he confused them with someone else who he'd heard had been on maternity leave, and he thought she'd lost the baby weight? But strange phrase, to congratulate them on maternity leave rather than a baby - unless are in a country where maternity leave is not an automatic entitlement, and something harder to get approved??
I was getting McDonald's after a night out with some friends and we noticed this guy that looked very sad. My friend asked if he was okay, and he took it the wrong way. He then pointed out the hotel he was staying in and said "I have a lot of money". We left immediately.
I...what? How can anyone hear the question are you okay, and assume the person asking is soliciting?
Okay. A couple of these reminded me of one from where I work. A white dude from way out in the country who among other things told two women we work with, one Chinese and one Puerto Rican, that they were “real pretty” and “they only had white girls” where he comes from. He wasn’t fired, but he was put on probation and had to repeat his diversity training.
Genuine question, I get this said to me a lot (I live in Au) because I'm Asian with long curly hair but I always took it as just a compliment, like oh maybe they grew up in a place that didn't have a lot of diversity? but now I feel really stupid. would you please explain why this is not ok?

When I was TEN, at my grandmother's funeral, and older man (in his 70s I think?) told me I had "great child-bearing hips". What the actual fukc dude??
People like him should have a warning sticker on them. That's so creepy
