Women are agents of chaos… In between working, cooking, cleaning, raising kids, looking good and tackling all the other things on their plates, many still find time to create a little drama when life gets boring. Often, at the expense of the men in their lives.

Whether it’s a casual quip like, “Do you ever wish you were more athletic?” or deliberately infuriating them by playing dumb about finances, ladies are digging deep in their arsenal to find ways to rage-bait men. Just to sit back and watch the male ego short-circuit and the alpha brain do back-flips.

Someone recently asked, "What's something you've said to a man that's absolutely rage bait and has never failed to piss them off?" and the internet went wilder than a guy who has just fallen for the bait. Thousands of women revealed their go-to methods for provoking men and sending them into a complete spiral.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of the best answers for you to scroll through while you plot out your next deliberate argument. Some are funny, others not so much. All are tried-and-tested triggers that these girls swear by for a quick win.

We also unpack whether rage-baiting is harmful or fair game, and what to do when you're on the receiving end of the hook. You'll find that info between the images.

Confident woman with short blonde hair and glasses, showcasing rage-baits from women who know what to say. When men used to tell me I looked better when I didn’t wear my glasses, I’d respond with 'You also look better when I don't wear my glasses.'

Depends on the glasses. If they suit your face they look good. If they look like Dame Edna Everage‘s glasses then they might be a bit much for daywear.

Rage-baiting is the deliberate act of posting, saying, or doing something provocative with the specific intention of triggering an emotional reaction—usually anger, outrage, or frustration. That's the definition given by New York-based mental health experts, On Par Therapy.

"Think of it as emotional fishing, but instead of using worms, manipulators use your triggers as bait," explains the site.

And while social media is awash with girlfriends and wives rage-baiting their men for laughs, likes and shares, the experts warn that this manipulation tactic isn't always as funny as it seems.

    Man reacting with frustration while woman looks away upset during a tense moment showing rage-baits interaction. I have a work colleague who is the most misogynistic guy I've ever met. One day, while he was giving one of his misinformed speeches about women, we started to argue... When he got emotional, I asked him if he was on his period.

    He didn't speak to me for a week.

    I dont make a habit out of s**t talking all men but as a bartender there are definitely men i have talked s**t at (women as well and this works for them too) but if i say something and have to ask myself "are they gonna hit me?" I grin, wink and walk away. Then they are left wondering if i was hitting on them while i decide on my next steps lol. People get so fkn confused. Another is when someones not being nice to me i say "my god you're awful but atleast you have your looks to fall back on, i guess"

    In relationships, rage-baiting might include making deliberately hurtful comments during arguments, bringing up past mistakes at inappropriate times, using passive-aggressive behavior to provoke reactions, or playing the victim after intentionally pushing boundaries.

    On Par Therapy's experts say that people engage in rage-baiting for various reasons. Some do it for control and power. "Manipulating others' emotions provides a sense of dominance," notes the site. Others rage-bait as a method of avoidance. Basically, they distract from their own issues by creating drama elsewhere.

    There are those who lean on it as a form of emotional regulation, using others' reactions to manage their own internal chaos. While many are rage-baiting experts purely for entertainment or because they genuinely enjoy watching others get upset.

    Then, of course, some rage-baiters are after attention and validation. "Negative attention still counts as attention," say On Par's therapists.

    Two people in life jackets and helmets paddling a blue raft on a river surrounded by green forest outdoors. We were rafting and a man was trying to make fun of his wife for forgetting to pack his water shoes and I was like, wow that’s embarrassing you don’t know how to pack shoes and need your wife to do it for you. She laughed, he did not.

    I walk to work about 5km (ca 3 miles) every day. I have to pack some stuff to change and shower at work. Sometimes I forget something and ask my husband to bring it, since he works in the same company and clocks in last minute... One day I forgot my shoes, and my running shoes didn't fit with my dress, so I asked my husband to bring me one pair, and he forgot. Later we were talking with some friends and mention that I had to walk around with my security shoes and a cute black dress (that was funny) and the friend said: and you were not mad at him?? I would be furios... I looked a little buffled and said that I forgot them in first place and I am the one who needs them. Ok, I was a little disappointed but definitetly not his fault. We have to owe our mistakes before we judge others. Spouse included 😋

When I tell him I haven't packed something he jokingly says "what? You didn't pack X for me? You expect me to be an adult and pack for myself?" LOL!

    "When people rage-bait in relationships, they're looking for reassurance," says psychologist Dr. Kavya Deshmukh. "By annoying or provoking their partner, they test whether the other person still cares enough to react. It's dysfunctional, but it's also oddly intimate."

    However, rage-baiting can become harmful. "If every interaction is built on provocation, intimacy gets replaced with irritation," explains clinical therapist Ritu Anand. "Over time, it stops feeling playful and starts feeling manipulative."

    I once had a guy who made less salary than me accuse me, in front of friends, of only being after his money. I told old Diamond Jim, in front of those same friends, that I made more than him, and if he’s got a big pile of money hidden somewhere, he needs to show it to not only me but also all our friends right here before any of us would believe him. His d**k went immediately limp after that. I also broke up with him on the spot. Even worse for him, I stayed friends with the friends who witnessed his empty boast, while they pretty much drifted away from him.

    If you're the victim of rage-baiting, whether by strangers online or in close relationships, the best thing you can do is not take the bait. But that's easier said than done.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "When you feel that familiar surge of anger from a provocative post or comment, literally pause. Notice the physical sensations, the urge to respond immediately, and the thoughts racing through your mind," advises On Par Therapy. "This moment of awareness is your power."

    The next step is to A-C-C-E-P-T. But that's not what you might think it means...

    On Par Therapy suggests a technique known as ACCEPTS when dealing with rage-baiting.

    The "A" stands for activities. Do something engaging that keeps your mind occupied or distracts you.

    The "C" is for contributing or helping someone else.

    The second "C" encourages you to compare this to another situation. To think of a time you handled something similar well.

    "E" is for emotions. Move from anger to humor or calm by watching a funny video or listening to music.

    Then "P": Push away. Or mentally put the situation in a box for later.

    "T" stands for thoughts. Redirect them by counting backwards, doing a puzzle, singing, etc.

    And finally, focus on "S" for sensations. Hold ice, take a hot or cold shower. Feel something...

    I worked in auto parts for 13+ years. I'd much rather assist a woman. Why? Because if a woman doesn't know what she needs or what something is she'll ask me to come out and look at the part on the car and listen when I tell her what it is and what it does and why it may or may not be the cause of her trouble. Guys on the other hand make up names for stuff, argue about it when I tell them what it is and does. I've even seen guys argue with me, mechanics and even their own friends when we all tell them that (that part) is not your problem, (this part) is your problem. In all those years, I only had 1 woman refuse to listen and I think it was really just a matter of she got a cheaper part somewhere else and didn't want to say that.

    Coming into a relationship, i think you should have your own fully set table. Both parties. If i were to ask someone i was interested in about things like work, car or income it wouldnt be bc i want or need something they have but bc as an adult with children i do not want to have to support another adult. I also think income matters atleast some so ways of life can align. Like if i like to take multiple cruises a year, id want someone with those interests and financial ability for THEMSELVES. I understand that most people chose to combine tables in partnerships but if it fails...you still have your full table. I married my middle school sweetheart at 17 though so i probably dont get much of an opinion on this

    Young man in a brown jacket with a serious expression outdoors, illustrating rage-baits that can ruin a man’s day. When he says he's an "alpha" male, I respond, "So, Team Jacob?" They never fail to crash out. Or, if they have a wolf tattoo, I always tell them that I love their Twilight tattoo.

    OK, that's funny, but I barely know "team Jacob," would alpha males even get it? (I presume the point is to subtly accuse them of knowing girl fantasy books? Or is there something particularly insulting about team Jacob? And I'm not trying to act too alpha male to understand; I'm team Buffy, in fact.)

    Basically Twilight is seen as a super girly movie and identifying as Team Edward or Team Jacob is only for adolescent girls. Jacob is a werwolf so saying "alpha" must be team Jacob implies alpha males are really adolescent girls.

    Woman using a lawn mower in a garden, illustrating rage-baits from women who know what to say to ruin a man’s day. I was mowing the lawn when an older man yelled at me because, in order to mow the edge, I had to drive on the street for about two seconds. (Yes, I looked first, but he was flying around a turn). He told my husband that he should be mowing. I looked at him and said, 'My husband just gave himself a manicure (he had just finished cutting his nails), and doesn't want to ruin it.'

    They both scowled at me. It was a two-for-one.

    My my, such “alpha” behavior to duck and avoid a woman because you can’t handle her comebacks to his insults that are much quicker and more clever than he has the brainpower to ever keep up with. Thing is, “alphas” are supposed to be smarter and quicker than everyone else. The other thing is, the concept of the “alpha”, which came from studies of wolfpacks, has been completely debunked. It has been discovered that the alpha pair—-a male wolf AND a female wolf—-changes as each pair of wolves starts mating. When they’re done, the next pair takes over. No one wolf is a permanent “alpha”.

    Most women are quite used to men getting angry when turned down, especially the kind of man that would hit on a total stranger in a random situation like a bus stop etc. Most guys are bigger and stronger than most women so they cannot really easily empathise as for them being hit on is nice even if they are not interested. If they were constantly hit on by massive muscular truckers who wouldn't take no for an answer and tended to physically corner them and pester without reacting to a clear discomfort it would be easier for them to understand why women tend to overreact + get pissed at the "not all men" rhetoric. We know that "not all men" and not even most men, doesn't matter, enough men.

    Yes I think it's the how. If the guy comes up, talks to you for a while and you're having a great conversation then absolutely ask for contact info. But to just walk up and ask is very off putting for women. A total stranger you've never spoken to is not the person you want having your contact details.

    Surely it's dependant on the type of music they like though? It's not necessarily them just listing male artists for the sake of it. I like rock music. If I listed my preferred bands there is only 2 out of my top 10 with a single female member. That's not me being sexists to female artists, that's just my favourite bands being male.

    Most of the big bands in the 1960s were 100% boy bands. You just have to look at the Beetles, the Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and many more started when the members were in their late teens, and were, by any definition, "Boy Bands".

So I started off with the music I liked as a kid (Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple) and he had the most shocked face in the world, then I continued to the bands I liked as a teenager (Bloodhound Gang, Green Day, Soulfly) and his face relaxed a bit, then I went on to the bands I like now (Bloodbath, Benighted, Behemoth, Pantera, Vreid) and he suddenly looked like the happiest dude in the world. 😄😄 I guess I should have just told him the metal bands first. But I thought it would be nice of me to take him through my entire life of bands I like(d). 🤣🤣

    As an Irishman who was immature in his 20s - this works. That said, it works the same when you ask an American which part of Canada they're from, or vice versa, or when you ask a New Zealander which part of Australia they're from.

    Only time I've encountered this (as an Irishman) was someone I worked with in England who had an Irish Grandmother, had never visited Ireland, had an English accent and yet made out that he was the most Irish person in the room and behaved like the very worst stereotypes.

(btw, the only sorts of Irish people in England I've - umm - been in the vicinity of who made a point of acting like they could get away with anything 'cos of being Irish were scary people and I slinked out of the way. Such Irish folk in England gave "oh shít, I'm *definitely* in the wrong kind of place, I'm leaving", vibes. When it's the mid early to mid 1980s and they're collecting money for "The brotherhood" (I heard that one) you don't stop to ask which térrorist (or maybe just plain criminal) organization they're on about - you just leave. I grew in NW London. It was a thing - not a common thing, but a thing.

    Spidercat: I'm a bog standard Englishman. But even I can see the point of "Good afternoon ladies and sons of ladies." - it's a riposte to existing in a patriarchal society. And one which I heartily approve of, as it happens. If nothing else: consider the effort involved in becoming a mother, compared to that of becoming a father. Hint: the latter role does not involve (approx) nine months of being pregnant followed by the death-defying feat of giving birth. (I was present at the birth of our child and had a harrowing lesson on how come than many birthing mothers don't survive - we were all lucky, that luck helped along more than little a bit by the NHS)

I find them gross and yucky. And so I just feel dumb because... what else did I expect than to see lots of photos of feet? 🙈 anyways, my best answer from what I saw is that especially basketball players have ugly feet for some reason?

    WTF are 'ball player feet'? If you mean clown feet just say so. EDIT: Why the downvotes? It's a genuine question. Are footballers known for having large feet? I've played a lot of football over the years and have never noticed the other players having unusually large feet. Clowns, on the other hand, famously wear oversized shoes which is why they are often mentioned in relation to large feet. EDIT 2: I am genuinely baffled by the increased downvotes after my first edit. Anybody care to explain exactly what the problem is?

    Ball player feet, especially in basketball, often show wear and tear from constant jumping, cutting, and stopping, leading to issues like bunions, hammer toes, thick calluses, and fungal infections, partly due to tight, performance-focused shoes. Players deal with unique challenges from extreme foot sizes, such as enormous feet for taller athletes like Shaq (size 22), requiring custom footwear, while the foot's complex structure endures massive force, impacting arches, toes, and soft tissues

People would smile at that until they shook his hand for the first time, then they realized I wasn't really joking. The mans hands were his most used 'tool' and they were callused and scared and strong as steel. I did discovered the people with the world's SOFTEST hands! Sheep Shearers! Why? They spend their days shearing sheep so their hands are constantly covered in Lanoline from the wool! SO soft!

    My husband is a foreman or superintendent something for a pipe company and occasionally I’ll ask “Do you ever wish you had a REAL blue collar job?” Or if his clothes are dirtier than normal I’ll say “these are awfully dirty for someone that sits in his truck all day.”

    One day someone at my dad's work was talking about how long something was taking. My dad said, "Well, Rome wasn't built in a day." The guy replied, "That's because you weren't the foreman."

    But why? Is he in on the joke or are you intentionally putting your husband down?

    “I feel like you’re jealous of Dave Matthews.” Bring it up when you’re being quiet together, like on a long drive. Scowl and make it seem like you’ve been trying to put your finger on it for months or even years.
