MEN: Why do you say purposefully hurtful and untrue things when mad?

[Anonymous]

Girls do this too but I want the guy perspective. I've realized that a lot of guys get mad and say really offensive things that they themselves later say they don't mean.
Why? Why do guys try to purposefully hurt their girlfriend/SO as their primary means of gaining dominance in the argument?

Examples I've personally heard or have heard of: "I don't love you!" "I cheated on you!" "You're loose!" "Whale!" When answering, please make the assumption that the things being said are really untrue and the guy is just acting irrationally when angry. Why do this?

Immaturity is what it boils down to. That's being said, age is not indicative of a person's maturity level.

I don't know, they are immature and have a serious lack of control? I've never done that.
