People have such a thing as white lie. That is, of course, we are all taught from childhood to always tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But there are situations when we are clearly aware that if we tell everything honestly, there will be much more problems than if we lie or just remain silent.
This applies, in particular, to such a sensitive area as relationships, both for women and men. There are things that you should never, under any circumstances, tell your significant others - unless, of course, you don't want your marriage or partnership to be happy and lasting.
And so, a few days ago, a question appeared in the AskReddit community addressed to all men: "What's something boys can never tell their girlfriends?" As of today, the thread already has 13.8K of various comments, and the number of upvotes is way higher - almost 38.8K.
Bored Panda compiled a selection of the most popular, witty, unexpected and sometimes cynical comments for you, so feel free now to scroll to the very end and maybe add your own opinion in the comments. And if you are interested in a similar selection of women's opinions - then just open and definitely read this post of ours.

#1 I've Been Day Dreaming About What It Would Be Like If I Owned That Mcdonalds Across The Street
In my case "Whatcha thinking about?"
My wife asks me all the time and I've been day dreaming about what it would be like if I owned that McDonalds across the street and then after falling in a vat of radioactive fry grease was able to turn into Ronald at night. I would fight crime but only if it was food related and all of my weapons would be burger condiment themed. Then I'm thinking about aerodynamics of pickles as shurikans and what process I would use to make them sturdy and sharp enough to be lethal.
It's a lot easier to just say "spacing out" then see her cute face raise an eyebrow in concern if I'm working too much again.

#8 “Yeah My Ex And I Came Here For Valentine’s Day Once.”
The only thing a good guy said to me that he shouldn’t have is we went out to a nice Valentine’s Day dinner at my favorite Indian restaurant- got all dressed up which was not our usual style as poorish retail workers- were having a wonderful time, and he said “Yeah {his ex} and I came here for Valentine’s Day once.” Totally ruined the moment for me lol. I thought it was so special but he’d been there done that.

#9 You Changed The Channel When I Was Watching An Episode Of Batman The Animated Series 14 Years Ago
14 years ago, I woke up before you on a weekend. I was watching an episode of Batman the Animated Series. You woke up half way through the episode and picked up the remote and changed the channel. You knew I was watching and I never got to see the end of the episode. I'm still salty about it.
