Women On Reddit Talk About 7 Unsolicited Advice They Are Tired Of Hearing. We Didn’t Ask For It!
Do better, man!
Ladies, have you ever had someone offer you unnecessary advice you didn’t even ask for? Well, as a woman I already know you have. I feel like the obsession of society with giving women unsolicited advice is never going away. I mean, we know you have nothing better to do in life but honestly, just let a woman breathe. Whether it’s about our appearance, life choices, or career unsolicited advice seems to come at us from every direction. But let’s be real, most of it is just plain annoying. So, to help people get over it and move on, here are a few unsolicited pieces of advice women are tired of hearing!
Women, what’s the most annoying unsolicited advice you’ve recieved before?

1. “You’d Look More Beautiful If You Smiled More”
Ah, yes, the classic. Because apparently, our sole purpose in life is to decorate the world with our smiles. Newsflash: our faces aren’t public property, and we’ll smile when we darn well feel like it.

2. “Have You Tried (Any Word That Indirectly Bodyshames You)?”
Thanks, Aunty, but unless you’re a licensed medical professional, please keep your wellness tips to yourself. Just the idea of giving advice about someone’s health and body makes me an ick, the fact that you have this much time on your hands is incredible.

3. “You Should Have Another Child!”
This one never gets old. I mean, this is just another guilt trip disguised as concern, am I right? I’m tired of people making women’s reproductive choices a group discussion. It’s time you get a life, seriously!

4. “You Should Pursue A Different Career Path”
Ah, yes, because clearly, we can’t be successful unless we’re in a high-demand field. If not, we’re expected to just be okay with getting married? I love how people still think getting married is the solution to all women’s problems.

5. “You Need To Lighten Up”
So now you’re saying that our sense of humour is directly proportional to how much we enjoy our lies. AND you have the audacity to tell us what to and what not to take seriously? That’s cute but like, no one asked!

6. “Just Relax And It’ll Happen”
Oh, great, thanks for the groundbreaking advice. Because clearly, our struggles in life can be solved with just a sprinkle of relaxation. And when we give the advice to just shut up and listen, no one wants to take it. Honestly, what is up with that?

7. “You Should Think Of Settling Down Now”
One more time I hear someone give this advice to any woman around me, I might just throw hands because how is this any of your concern? And the main question is, why aren’t you asking your 28-year-old son to settle down, because honestly, you have a lot to worry about yourself.
