8 Words Men Use That Women Hate

About this video

Weston discusses eight words and phrases that men commonly use which women find off-putting or offensive. She covers terms ranging from immature slang like ‘bro’ and ‘dude’ to derogatory language, and explains why each undermines how men come across to women and others.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues that casual slang terms like ‘bro’ and ‘dude’ come across as immature and unprofessional, particularly in contexts where they’re unnecessary
• Weston contends that disrespectful language about women—including crude sexual terms, gendered slurs, and derogatory adjectives—signals misogyny and is an immediate turn-off
• Weston recommends avoiding patronizing pet names like ‘babe,’ ‘honey,’ and ‘sweetie’ with women you don’t have an intimate relationship with, as it reads as condescending
• Weston cautions against using ‘calm down’ or ‘relax’ during disagreements, as she views this as dismissive and inflammatory language that escalates conflict
