What’s the meanest thing you’ve said to a man?

What’s the meanest thing you’ve said to a man? We’ve all had moments when the filter disappears and something absolutely brutal comes out. These women shared the meanest things they’ve said to a man, and some of these comebacks are savage.

A highschool friend of mine I met again after many years, he had lost all his weight and became really fit…he let it go to his head and started making fun of heavy people in the street. I turned to him and said ” I liked you when you were fat, you at least were kind then, now you’re ugly on the inside where it matters most” He froze up and really thought about it and ended up changing his ways and apologized for how he acted next time i saw him.

My boyfriend called out of work last week because “his neck hurts and can’t move it all the way. It’s not safe to work” after having almost a whole month off prior (vacation + leave to take care of his dad) which his dad is fine by himself. I reminded him just in the last few years , I worked with broken ribs, twisted ankles to where I couldn’t even stand, a broken wrist, couldn’t even wipe my ass, still did every day chores and errands, never let me slow me down. Told him he’s just lazy and making excuses and no one feels bad for him and I don’t want to hear complaints when he doesn’t get paid. He got quiet really quick.

If one of my sons ever feels comfortable enough to make a weight remark about their partner in front of me. I’d hit him for her, make him leave, and she can stay for dinner. If he wants to act like a dog then he can beg for table scraps.
