Topic: One Question You Should Never Ask A Woman

men aren't the only ones guilty of asking this particular sensitive and inappropriate question. In fact,my experience is that women are way more likely to embarrass themselves on this gaff than men,at least twice as often. The question isn't how old are you or how much do you weigh. The question you should never ask a woman is ''are you pregnant?'' most people assume a pregnancy is a joyous time,something to celebrate,and for the vast majority of expecting mothers it is. However,the question may be borderline disrespectful and flat out rude to ask; it isn't really any of your business. The sensitivity of this issue cannot be overstated. Why would a woman care if you ask if she is pregnant? For starters,she may be pregnant and not yet ready to make her status public. This brings up issues of how it might affect her professionally. What if she is discriminated against? What if she is waiting to announce her pregnancy until she knows she has crossed the risk threshold of 13 weeks when the incidence of miscarriage is dramatically reduced? What if she just recently miscarried late-term and while struggling with her loss,and you nosely come in and wants to know all of the intimate details of her life? What if it is an unwanted pregnancy? Not to say the baby will or won't be wanted upon birth,but you can't assume the pregnancy happening under positive terms. What if she is just overweight and carries it all in the middle? What if she is struggling to concieve,has gone through rounds of hormone therapies and has gained abdominal weight as a result of her failed attempts? What if she has diastasis recti and you are making her feel like an alien because her body didn't ''bounce back'' the way it once was? The point is this:you should be more afraid to offend a woman by asking if she is pregnant than by not asking. Ultimately,its none of your business unless she wants it to be your business. I found these truths out recently in a bad way,hence my resolve to create this thread. Women,i hope i am right?

As the youngest in my family, I was an accident. Imagine the loss to the world and this forum if my folks had... shudder

The one question you should never answer is "Do these jeans make me look fat?" Walk away, just walk away!

I did a survey once and I asked 100 women to name one thing you could eat with a spoon. The top answer was ' piss off, I'm busy'

When I was in my early 20s I ran into a high school classmate and thought she as pregnant. I asked her when the baby was due. She wasn't pregnant, had just gained weight since high school. I've never asked another female that question ever again.

Well sometimes I do, you see when a woman asks me if I want a good whipping, I lay there thinking about it, and although I don't actually want the whipping, for some reason I always blurt out yes. I just can't put my finger on it

Women,i hope i am right? ...lol...both my daughters went through that question a few months back...one was pregnant..the other wasn't ....my oldest is a big girl and was happy she lost a few pounds...then someone at the store asked when she was due...crushed her feelings...the other daughter was pregnant...some strange lady at a store ran up to her and started rubbing her belly stating how much she loves baby bellies...my daughter could not resist saying she wasn't pregnant...the strange lady was embarrassed and apologized and walked away...a few weeks later my daughter saw her again...the lady tried to act like she didn't see her...my daughter walked up and told her she was really pregnant and explained how upset her sister was when the same thing happened...the lady, although relieved told my daughter how bad she had felt and said she would never do it to another woman...soooo...I agree with this totally....if you don't know the pregnant person...don't assume a big belly is a baby....but feel free to tell anyone to have a nice day... ...

I've never been asked this, but one of my old friends got asked this all the time, it was because she was on some medication called seroquel, and it puts a good few stone onto most people, and this medication makes you get a sticky out belly, i also now men who have took this medication and they looked pregnant to. I really felt for her, because it did upset her and she needed the medication.
