    4 Things to Never Joke About With Your Man

    For most guys, a kick-ass sense of humor in a woman ranks right up there with a nice rack. But some material is no laughing matter. So while it's cool to clown around, stay away from these supersensitive topics.

    1. His Future Hair Loss With the exception of Vin Diesel and a few others, most guys with shiny chrome domes are not deemed the sexiest men alive. That's why many guys stress about potential future loss. And if there's even a hint of thinning, it's certain to be a really sore subject.

    2. His Paltry Paycheck Yes, it's a little Stone Age, but many men still like to think they can bring home the bacon. When their salaries don't stack up, they may feel emasculated. So while you may find it funny to joke about your sugar-mama status, it's not exactly the idea of good stand-up comedy to your guy.

    3. His Mom He's allowed to goof on his mother's muumuus, burned Bundt cake, and obsession with Dancing with The Stars---but when you chime in, it's a different story. Guys find it disrespectful for girlfriends to rip on their moms.

    4. His (Lack of) Height Ever notice how guys tend to add about two inches to their height when asked how tall they are? That's because they're sensitive to the notion that tall people tend to have more power. Plus, if you make him feel like he's small outside the bedroom, he might wonder what you really think about, ahem, his other physical attributes.

      I am a man but I don't care about #1, 2 and 4. Just leave my mom and actually ALL my family out of the jokes and bad mouth talks. If she's not happy with my hair, my measly pay check and my shrimp dick, she can always find another man. Quite easy!

      i was just wondering if guys are so sensitive about thier penis's and not to joke about it then why is it still ok for them to joke about a womans breasts or vagina?

      i find it funny that all of you complain about how stupid,petty,childish and dumb some of these articles are but yet...you still come back everyday and read them.

      lets face it some people are dumb and list like these are ment to help the people that dont pick up on obvious things. i find it rather amusing that they dont pick up on things but hey who am i to judge???

      If you cant say something nice, dont say anything at all.

      Why do we have to keep reading countless articles about what the woman should be doing better. Why does it always have to be the woman's duty to make sure her man is OK, it should go both ways. He should be just as interested as I am about how to keep the relationship fresh!

      P.S. I love bald men.

      If you want to be in a successful marriage get an education involving coursework in communication skills. If you can communicate appropriately, there are very few martial problems that cannot be solved.

      I'm a client of what I say.

      And how did they miss joking about Man Boobies.... Telling your man he may need a bra should have made the list, after all we are the worlds most overweight country and there's gotta be many men who have them, not only that but even BUFF men have those overly round pecks that could be "joke haven" if your not careful. How about something we can use...like don't joke... or even mention in joking anything about your ex...it just makes them feel that they are still on your mind...or don't joke about their hobbies and interest, as it points out your not as compatible as he may want to believe, instead go golfing with him or encourage him to go to the shooting range with the boys to show him your SUPPORT for his interest, we should be our mans best cheerleader! Wow, I am thinking of so much that this article COULD HAVE said, I think I need to write my own article on it, LMAO!

      Yah, most of the blogs published at this site fall under the Captain Obvious category.
    • icenine  •  3 years 1 month ago
      (Yawn) Your petty list is of little use to me, as each item is juvenile. Perhaps you need to feel a mature relationship. One thing both in the couple need to know how to do is GET OVER IT. Sheesh.
    • Becky P  •  3 years 1 month ago
      i agree with all of theses examples. The bashing is for the girlfriends to hear about.
    • *R..  •  3 years 1 month ago
      um, aren't these kinda obvious??
    • February  •  3 years 1 month ago
      You got those right and for me I wouldnt even mention the word mom if I could help it cuz my BF well his mom ran out on him so he doesnt have one. Money is tight right now with him the only one bringing in a paycheck and me not right now. So yea I agree with this blog even though it was completly obvious.
