“I’m pregnant” is, one might say, a traditional rally on April 1. Draw a second strip on the test, depict toxicosis or find a printout of the ultrasound result - whatever the girls come up with in order to play their boyfriend as believably as possible. But for some reason, not all guys understand such jokes, as a result of which quarrels or partings occur. Is it because men lack a sense of humor or something else?
Most girls, arranging such pranks, secretly hope not only to laugh heartily, but also to check the guy's reaction and thus find out how he treats her, whether he plans a joint future and the creation of a family.
The main reason why you shouldn't joke like that is that the guy can believe (it's just that not everyone remembers about April 1). And if the guy is to be believed, then an innocent prank can lead to serious consequences.
1. The guy will believe and be happy
Yes, a man, especially if he is in a long-term family relationship, may want children from his beloved woman and wait for this happy moment to come. Such a ridiculous joke can make him happy and euphoric. And perhaps he will even have time to inform his loved ones about such good news.
But what will happen when the truth is revealed? After all, this can be a real blow for him, and he will perceive this joke as a mockery and a mean act.
2. The guy will believe and not be happy
It's okay to be unprepared to have babies. The reasons may be different: lack of psychological readiness, lack of the necessary level of material wealth and financial stability. And such a seemingly harmless joke can cause fear and panic in a young man. After all, having children is a huge responsibility! And what range of feelings will a guy go through when he learns of such news?
In addition to a strong emotional blow, the realization that in this way a woman also wanted to test her feelings can also upset a man. Indeed, in this way she shows that she does not trust him.
But if suddenly the guy decides that with such a joke the woman decided to deliberately provoke a quarrel and ruin the relationship, then this can become a weighty reason for him to part.
In addition, there is an opinion among men that modern women use pregnancy and motherhood as a way to manipulate and siphon off finances from the child's father. Therefore, there is a risk that he will perceive this very unfortunate April Fools' joke in this way. Especially if the couple is just starting to build their relationship.
And modern men also know how to count and know where children come from. Therefore, upon hearing this news and making simple calculations, the guy may suspect his girlfriend of treason. And even after an innocent deception is revealed, an unpleasant aftertaste may remain.
3. "Boy and Wolves"
Surely many have heard or read the story of the shepherd boy and the wolves? When a boy grazing sheep, seeing the woodcutters, decided to play them, shouting to the whole forest “Wolves! Wolves! Help! . The lumberjacks abandoned everything and rushed to save the young shepherd, but there were no wolves. Twice the boy managed to play the woodcutters, and when the wolves really attacked, no one came running to the cry for help.
A lover of April Fools' rallies called "I'm pregnant" can get into a similar situation.
For those men whose women like to arrange such pranks, I would advise them to joke on the topic "Darling, I have a mistress, and she is about to give birth to a son for me." And do not say that it is different. Both jokes have nothing to do with good humor.
