Without meaning to be offensive or unkind, women can unknowingly say things to men that can be deemed downright cruel. For instance, a lot of women say to their boyfriends or even their husbands, ''All you men are interested in just one thing from us!'' The one thing obviously being sex.

Ok, so maybe men are more sexed than women, but it is not fair to say that they only want one thing from you. If that were all, it is quite easy to get it elsewhere. So why would your man stay with you? Get the point?

Perhaps such thoughts stem from the fact that women expect a lot from their men and that they are very emotional. Regardless of that, women should think before saying things to their men, which could hurt them (or even their egos) badly.

Here are 5 things that a woman should never say to a man.

1. You never listen to me!

When you say this to your man, what he's hearing is, "Oh, you mean I don't always do exactly as you say!" Yes, we do have a tendency to say 'never' even if it is just one or two things that our men are not doing. So, instead of saying it like that and getting into the what-do-you-mean-by-never argument, women should stick to the one thing that they are actually talking about.

2.You're not going to wear THAT are you?

Anytime a woman says this to her man, she is not saying it for him but more for herself because she's probably embarrassed about how her man is looking after wearing that. But obviously your man was GOING to wear that or he wouldn't have put it on! So, either you let your man decide what looks good on him, or if you're really not happy about what he's wearing then politely request him to change.

3. We can remain friends...

This is perhaps the worst thing any woman can say to a man after she has broken up with him. No! He doesn't want to be just friends with you; he has other people for that. So, if you're going to dump him, please make it a clean break and at least give him the chance to get over you and on with his life, instead of remaining in his life and making it tougher for him.

4. Are you sure...

You ask a basic question to your man about a topic that you pretty much know nothing about but your man does know a lot. He provides you with a straight and confident reply and you respond with an "are you sure?" That's practically like spitting on your man's ego! So, trust his answers and if you can't, then don't ask the question.

5.You're like a brother to me

Ladies, no man wants to hear that from any woman unless she really is his sister. You may mean it in the nicest way possible, but most men will take it as an insult and feel that they're not good enough for you and that's why you're putting them in the brother category.
