Many things that are said in the style of "teasing" are rather mean-spirited.

Example: When I got engaged in 2009, I gave my fiance an engagement ring with a 1.5 ct diamond. It was NOT a cheap ring. Of course, she was showing it to anyone who would look. We go to my mom's house and my step-brother is there; he has enjoyed "teasing" (tormenting) people his entire life. He looks at the ring and immediately says to her, "The ring he gave his first wife was about twice that size!"

That turned a joyous occasion into a day when her feelings were hurt and she felt devastated by the way he treated her. (She knew that what he had said was not true.)

His defense: "I was just joking!"

My response: "If you make a 'joke' and you are the only one who laughs, that's a clue that it wasn't very fucking funny!"

Imagine "teasing" a girl because she has small boobs. Imagine a girlfriend teasing you about your small dick. "Oh, don't get offended. It was just a joke!" Right!

Sometimes, people will make statements in the frm of a joke so they can express a mean intention with some ability to deny that they actually meant something mean-spirited. And it doesn't matter whether they claim it was a joke; it wasn't funny and sometimes such "jokes" hurt people very deeply. If it appears to be mean-spirited, I call it what it is.

The first step is to identify your objective in teasing him. Get a clear picture of what you hope to gain from your actions, along with a clear picture of how your actions impact your partner. How would you feel if your partner constantly teased you about something you were sensitive about? This is a partnership, so it's important to identify what works best for both of you. It's not about any personal entitlement you feel you deserve. It's not about judging him because he doesn't respond as you expect; it's about finding how to make your relationship as special as possible.

I would ignore him. After all I could love him for other reasons and we all have different kinds of humor.

Depends on how often she throws out teasing jokes vs compliments. Also what in particular she teases a guy about.

Here are things to a woman should never “tease” a guy about:

- His D size
- Past regrets (career, sports, etc) he can’t change
- Hair loss (exceptions if he joked about going bald first)
- Past women that have burned him

Men are resolution driven and all of the above are next to impossible to change. It burns us knowing there is little or nothing we can do about somethings.

However things issues below are generally okay

- his odd hobbies
- if he has a beer gut
- his personality quirks
- his clothing and fashion choice

We can make adjustments to those above. So teasing about that is okay in moderation.

I'd be thankful they have a sense of humor, some people these days takes things too seriously.

It's depends on the joke because not everyone has the exact same humor, hell some people might feel insulted by the joke you gave them so you have to think about the other person feelings at hand.

KBird · Answer

I think it depends on a few factors. For instance: the subject are you teasing him about, what his current mental state is (is he having a bad day, is he frustrated), and whether your teasing comes off as passive-aggressive (to him).
