"Ladies, what is something a guy has said to you thinking it was a pick-up/compliment and ended up completely backfiring?"

I sent this to a group of women I write with and my phone started buzzing like crazy. Some of the stories shared with me made me laugh or made my jaw drop. So, guys, I have decided it is in your best interest that I post a few poorly executed phrases that I found to be commonly said.

1. Any given sexual innuendo.

Please, it's actually quite embarrassing. All it will get you is a door slammed in your face.

2. Are you really gonna eat all that food?

If I can eat more food than you, then we have a problem. I will eat all and anything that I want, so get two pizzas, cause one of them is mine.

3. I would date you if I was single.

I remember the one time a guy said this I just stopped and blinked stupidly. Did you really just say that? If I found out my guy was saying that I'd say, "Go ahead, cause you're single now."

4. You're really pretty for a [insert minority here] girl.

I have to thank my friend Katie for this one, because being I have never heard this before. When I went to ask a few more of my friends, they responded with multiple stories of guys saying they were pretty or cool for a _____ girl. Guys, that is just incredibly stupid and it's not cool to compliment a girl by putting down another girl.

5. You're so smart for a music major.

Don't even talk to me if you think this is OK. I might actually punch you in the face.

6. You don't need makeup to look pretty.

I don't wear makeup to impress you. Get that in your tiny, little brain. Please.

7. You look smarter in your glasses.

You look dumber when I wear them...or when you speak.

8. I love that I can just relax and not have to work for you.

Bye. You will always be pursuing me. I don't chase you; you chase me.

9. Sending a text at 1 a.m.

I am not a booty call, so put your phone down and go to bed and let me binge watch "Grey's Anatomy" in peace.

10. You remind me a lot of my mother.

I'm sorry, but I can't remind you of your mother. That will be all I think about when you try to hold my hand or kiss me and I will throw up.

11. You look so much cuter in your sweat pants.

I look cute in whatever I decide to walk outside the door in. If I wear a pretty, floral dress, I look cute. If I wear a killer flannel, I look cute. If I'm rocking nike shorts and a oversized shirt, I look cute. I think what you meant to say is I look "comfortable" in my sweat pants.

12. Let me help you work out.

No, I'm fine, really. I can do the stair climber just fine without you.

13. You're so cool, how are you even single?

Because I'm juggling classes, practice time, homework, student government and a sorority all at once, so I'm basically Wonder Woman. Maybe the reason why I am so cool is because I am single.

14. I love that you're just one of the guys.

I'm gonna have to go back to number 10 on this one. Just like I can't imagine you kissing your mom, I can't imagine you kissing your bro.

15. I love how you go natural and never wear makeup.

Just because my eyelids aren't blue or I don't have rosy pink cheeks does not mean I chose not to wear makeup today. Unless it's for a special reason, the style most women generally go for is a natural look. What that means is we cover pimples and we put on some mascara. Trust me, if I walked into a room "natural," you guys would run for the hills.

16. I liked your hair, why did you change it?

Because I felt like changing my hair. I don't need your permission to dye it pink or cut 11 inches off.

17. Be careful, I don't want you to hurt yourself doing _______.

I know my limits and I'm a strong woman. If I need help, I'll ask for your help.

18. Can I buy you a drink? You look like you need one.

I am perfectly capable of buying my own drink if I "need" one. Well, technically I'm underaged, so I can't drink. However, for all the ladies over 21, they don't need you to order them a drink. So back off and let them be.

19. You don't look your age.

What is this even supposed to mean? If I look younger that makes you a pedophile, and if I look older that just makes you a jerk. Just avoid saying this at all costs.

20. You look pretty today.

This one breaks my heart, cause I know what you're trying to say. I know it's supposed to be a compliment, but please think carefully about the words you say. We don't look pretty today. We don't look pretty tomorrow. We just look pretty.

So, guys, I hope you learned a few things today. If anything, you learned 20 new phrases not to tell a girl, which should help you in your endeavors of finding a girl who will want to be with you.
