    I can’t think of anything that I could say to male friends but never to any female friend.

    Make jokes about her appearance/ weight in the same way I’d joke about my male friends.

    You can’t really complain to them, or open up about how you’re feeling especially if it’s negative

    Every guy needs to learn that to a woman, a man complaining sounds like fingernails on a blackboard, they can’t stand it

    Depends on the friend and how long I’ve known her. But I would never make any disparaging comment about her appearance.

    I can make sexual jokes with some of them. But they are just jokes and they return them.

    A friend once complained to me about her being single while all her friends got boyfriends.

    She asked me, “be honest, how’s my looks? How would you rate me?”

    I paused here. If I say beautiful, she’d know I was lying and also I didn’t want her to think I looked at her in any way. And I definitely wasn’t gonna call her ugly.

    So I went with what I thought was the safe option: “you’re alright.”

    Man, she was so offended and amused at the same time. She was like, “happyft you’re so lucky I know you, cuz don’t say that to any other girl”. Idk man … haha

    Never consider any woman my friend but associates. Regardless to answer topic it is they can’t take jokes about them. Also can’t be honest without them being offended.

    I still tell them the honest truth if asked even if it offends them.

    I quite honestly can’t think of anything, I don’t differentiate between male and female friends.

    When they ask you to rate them on a scale of 1-10. Number 1. The average is 7 not 5. Number 2. Don’t play this game, my friend still takes the loss out of me for rating her as a 6, and when confronted about it I said I was being honest when my other friend had rated her as a 10 🙃🙃

    Told one I cancelled our plans because I was getting laid.

    And that’s how I found out she had been hoping to be more than friends.

    One time a female friend asked me why I wouldn’t date this one other woman. I said it was because she was “poofy.” I was informed that I was not allowed to have that opinion.

    Don’t ever ever EVER tell your girl “I’d love you no matter how big you are/get” it was evidently not as sweet as I thought it was.

    Told a friend that she is the problem and at fault for the problems in her relationship. That 90% of those problems she created with her selfishness. We don’t talk anymore, her relationships all keep falling apart on her, and I have been told by mutual friend that she refuses to admit that she is the problem because that would make me right. I could careless about being right, the friendship is done.

    That women do almost all the horrible things men do when they get given similar opportunities to abuse power. Apparently it is a horrible thing to recognize that we have people problems, not just men being the problem.

    Pretty much any question where she starts with “Be Honest…”

    Do not be honest

    I once had a friend talk about stuff she was anxious about. I explained her why it was silly to worry about those things. She was quite upset. I guess she wanted validation and not me implying she was silly for feeling the way she does.

    I meet a lot of people daily at my job for brief encounters. People comment on my beard as it is very full and red. I would joke to people and respond “Stop shaving and you can have one too.” I learned that that wasn’t considered funny to many women so I stopped saying it to them now I only say it to the men. I didn’t know how many women shave that they would consider that not funny.
