As a girl who grew up with mostly women, the only men I knew were my dad and brothers who were rarely present. And also, going to a girls-only school my whole life, I feel I know enough about women, and what can make a woman hate you or keep her guard up. But none of these are definite rules to go by...not all women are alike.
1- Never, EVER tell her to calm down when you are having an argument
I'm not sure why but when us women are having a dispute and we're told to calm down, it makes us even crazier and more bloodthirsty. Do not tell a girl to calm down; it's like you're calling out her inner Satan. Just don't do it.
2- Don't make fun of her friends/family
Because the moment you decide to make fun of her friends and relatives, she will think you're a jerk, and you will be so lucky if she only friendzones you. I've seen girls enemy-zone some very hot guys just because they said bad things about their relatives. Just be careful, unless you want her to stay away from you.
3- DO NOT mention her eating habits - Unless you are concerned about her health
Unless she is unhealthy and gaining too much weight or having eating disorders and you want to help her, do not comment on how much she eats. Even if she won't show it, she will be deeply hurt and she will feel self conscious around you.
4- Don't bring up her weaknesses
If she tells you one of her heartbreak stories, family problems, a mistake she regrets, fine, but never bring it up in an argument. You have no idea of how much she will hate you after that and you will become her new mistake.
5- Don't compare her
Even if it's your loving grandma, your caring mother, the gorgeous top model on the first page of a magazine...just do not compare her because women want to feel special in the eyes of their SO. When you compare her, you just shatter all of her hopes of being unique. If she reminds you of someone, even in a positive way, keep it for yourself.
6- Do not compliment her looks TOO MUCH
Okay, ALL girls enjoy that confidence boost from guys but when the guy compliments your looks too much then it means he just wants to get in your pants. Girls tend to keep their guard up when it comes to these guys; just be moderate or better yet, compliment her personality and brains; she will love it.
That's all I can think of right now. Was it helpful? If not, please tell me what do you think.

1. You are told to calm down because you are making a scene and throwing a tantrum like a five year old.
2. She makes fun of mine, guess what? Hers aren't that great either
3. If she is unhealthy, her eating habbits will be mentioned, the trouble is she always thinks she is "healthy" and has a tantrum, resulting in #1
4. Again she can bring it up but I can't? Not happening.
Not making fun of/ insulting her family is a no brainier for mutual respect and telling someone to calm down is a sign that we want to have a reasonable discussion about the issue at hand and for them to actually listen to what we have to say.
Everything else is makes sense but as we all know it's mostly double standerds. Sorry
I am a bit shy so I mostly compliment girl's personality until I am comfortable enough to compliment her looks. Wouldn't it be a turn off if I don't compliment your appearance at all? I think it's important for girls to feel beautiful, isn't it?
So in conclusion, don't ever be a critic of her and just surrender every time you know she is wrong... Fuck that list. Half of your list is healthy criticism that ALL ADULTS AND TEENS should learn to handle and respect.
"Men who can't follow these directions are destined to fail." and what should we say for women who think they have the power to police language due to having a vagina?
@Table20 The smart thing to do is err on the side of caution and not say that iffy remark that's crossing your mind. It's common sense. If you want to blurt things out and alienate people that's on you.
oh. you tagged me so i thought it was for me... now, im not for men OR women being nasty to each other and saying bad things. but im also not for policing language just because its a woman.. i wouldn't call a woman a cunt or something stupid like that, but these 6 rules here are just too much
I would never compliment a girl to get in her pants,(or any sort of self gain), but I guess I should still ask; How do you know if you're starting to do it too much?
In regards to #1, I WILL tell someone to calm down, male or female, if they are being ridiculous / loud etc. If they don't, I'll just walk away until they do.
Lots of very fair points - It just shows how much of a minefield it can be

How about instead, women simply grow up and start taking criticism and negative views with a grain of salt. You generally have zero issue doing any of the aforementioned things to a guy... and we take it because we aren't children.
