This week, we have quite the hilarioud Top from one of my high school friends. Can you see if I said these things, friends? Heck, I blushed just proofreading this! xoxo
Dear Readers, while the fabulous resident Guyspert Kasey does an amazing job with his love advice from a male perspective, I think it’s time for a little Sugar & Spice from the Ladies Department! I like to call this segment 5 Evil Things A Woman Shouldn’t Say To A Naked Man* because let’s face it…we’ve all been in situations where the instruction manual didn’t really give a boost to the product we purchased –that’s a BIG marketing plot ladies (Jumbo size bag, little chips?? Seriously, I just paid $4 for air)–. Whether you’ve been in a situation like this in the bedroom or not, PLEASE be courteous. It’s best to communicate with your partner rather than to say the following:
Does it come with an air pump?
Meeeooow! Let the nails come out! Kudos to you if you like to experiment in the boudoir with some sexy accessories, but if this is the first time you’re with a guy and you’d like to keep the love going, this is probably not the best thing to say. Unless he surprises you with an actual air pump, then you’re on your own for this one, who knows what else he’d like to pump.
You know, they have surgery to fix that…
OK, not only is this cruel, mean and hurtful but above all disrespectful. Growing up, I knew a friend who got kicked by a horse in his nether region. The poor guy lost a testicle and was very self-conscious due to this incident for years. He couldn’t bring himself to be intimate with his girlfriends. For a long time, we used to think he was gay until he opened up about his feelings. A few therapy sessions did the trick. Now, if you could see his wife…WOW. She’s a bombshell who clearly sees past his injury just like a loving partner should.
Maybe if we water it, it’ll grow
I know Chia Pets were a big thing in the ’90s, but as much as you’d love to give it Miracle Gro, it’s not going to grow into a Secoya tree.
THIS explains your car
I’m guilty of thinking this. I used to date this guy who would go off every year and trade his Mustang for the newest model. When I first met him I was a little taken back by his car. Literally, this guy had his Mustang PIMPED OUT. Every option that was available he made sure to have it. Sure it was impressive, but did I really care? No, I’m not much of a car enthusiast to be honest.
Why don’t we just skip right to the cigarettes?
I for one, do not condone smoking. Now, having had said that…if you’re going to say this then why even bother? *Disclaimer: I in no way encourage you to say these things to your partner, if you choose to do so and get slapped in the face or receive a similar or more offensive response…that is a risk you are taking. Being respectful and courteous will always yield much greater results, voice your concerns and or opinions in a healthy manner in which you both can be open and honest. Remember that constructive criticism is better than negative criticism. Now, go on and kiss your lover!

THIS explains your car…OMG SOO TRUE!! I've heard the rumors the car relation & when some guy pulls up in a tonka truck basically I'm sorry to say I always think that. lol!! I'll try never to actually say it tho! =P
Melissa Blake says
Hence, why they are things you should never say! 😉
Diana Mieczan says
OMG…so true…that is such a big no no no….
Great post…made me smile:)
Kisses, sweetie

Yes, these are things that you should never say, but Faux's point is that they are so obviously cruel, that it is unlikely that any woman would say these things. In fact, it seems so obviously impossible that the actual "advice" is irrelevant.
I assume the writer was trying to be witty, but I mean…duh. It's like posting a blog about the five things not to say to a naked women and discouraging men from expressing blatant disappointment in the woman's breast size.

Of course it's not meant to be taken seriously! I wouldn't say this to a guy without expecting an action of equal or greater magnitude.
It can be things that we subconsciously think about or wish we could say out loud. The bottom line is that communication is key to any healthy relationship, this is entertainment for your Tuesday afternoon.

Posting this again proves that your gender politics come from sitcoms and that you have no idea how sex in the real world works.
Every single time I think you've hit the floor, you pull out a shovel and start digging. You're like this weird slow motion train wreck that has convinced hundreds of people to somehow not clean you up, but instead put you on a platform so they can cheerlead every single thing you say. Amazing.

if you would have read the intro, ms. bretzel, you'd know that i didn't write this. Every Tuesday, I feature ANOTHER person's dating tales. But them I guess you'd have to visit more than once a month and post more than pathetic bully comments to know that, wouldn't you?
Faux Trixie says
Just to clarify though, the Tales from the Trenches are rarely ever actually dating stories… they're more commentary on dating? Perhaps another title would be more well-suited to describe the column.
Melissa Blake says
Feel free to send some stories in, Beth…
