Do guys say stupid things and don't realize it?

Okay so I've come to understand that guys are clueless sometimes which is why theyre shocked when their girl gets upset about something cause they innocently didn't know they did something wrong. Sometimes the guys are innocent and the girl is exaggerating or sometimes the guys are innocent but the girl isn't exaggerating so he needs to watch what he says/do more often. Does this sound reasonable? I learned all of this while dating my bf right now. He kind of unfortunately has most of the typical things a guy has and thats stubborness, edginess, and cluelessness. He has done some things that he had no idea would upset me, I'm not sure if he plays dumb or he really is dumb and didn't think those things were wrong. Ill ask him to change that or at least be more careful about what he does but he says he doesn't know how to.

So is it true that sometimes guys will do/say things that are OBVIOUSLY wrong but they had no idea it would be taken that way so as the gf, we should just let it be and understand he didn't mean it in a bad way. For example, let's say he captions a pic like "I ain't got no type!" with money everywhere, I take it he's just having fun and doesn't mean shit with it? Or like "Hoes be like..." ? You know like watch what you say or do it gives the wrong message to people even if you didn't it in a bad way.

    Oh jeezus, I barely skimmed that gobbledygook. Maybe just maybe lots of chicks are waaay too sensitive and/or bonkers. Maybe said chick's should learn how to be a bit less focused on themselves and over analyzing every fucking word that people say to make sure they find things about it to be upset over. Fucks sake, stop blaming all the men. (Say that last bit in hyperbole and a half fashion)

    • You know as weird as this sounds, all of these opposing views make me feel better. I know that I'm just overreacting and there's nothing to be worried about.

    It's not just limited to guys. I'm a girl and I constantly say stupid things and do things without realizing that what I've done was wrong.

    I think guys AND girls say dumb things like that all the time but its nothing an apology cant fix.

    • Yes but as said above, girls are a little more careful with their moves than guys are.

        I suppose that's why there all those dumb blonde jokes, right?
        Stupidity knows no gender, dearie, just reread your post and replies.

        • I'm talking in terms of considering others' feelings. For ex, MORE OFTEN a girlfriend will be more careful about what she says/does so she doesn't hurt her bf's feelings. In contrast, guys as boyfriends still carry this careless behavior and don't really consider their gf's feelings.

            Wow you sure are a bigoted young lady. Perhaps you should start dating women, cause you don't seem to like guys very much.

    Humans in general, like yourself, can say stupid things without realizing it.
    Stupid things are not limited to coming out of the mouths of men and anyone can be stubborn, edgy, or clueless. Don't overgeneralize common tendencies on the basis of one's gender.

    • The reason why I say guys is cause its true. Guys tend to not watch what they do/say more often than girls. Not saying girls don't do it at all, but girls are a little more conscious with their moves.

    Okay Chicky poo I agree we all say dumb things, but I think stupid comments can be interpreted in different ways. My partner of 8 years is male and so am I, I may something to him and he totally takes it in a way that I never even thought was possible. I think what the hell is he talking about. Sometimes I say something I think is positive and he turns it negative. He takes innocent comments and throws them in my face later so when he is bitching I don't say anything and that makes him even madder. Yesterday he saw that I looked at him funny when he was on the phone, so when he got off he said He walks around cuz he can't hear over TV and he doesn't want to disturb me, when I didn't say anything but nodded he blew it up got mad and left the house... Why? I acknowledged him. That is just how people are interpretation is everything.
