1. 'You're overreacting'
Ibrahim advises men to never tell their partners that she's 'overreacting' as this will only worsen the situation. "Is she overreacting? Probably. Does she need to know that? Absolutely f**king not. What's the need? Just go along with it," he said. If your girlfriend is venting, telling you about her problems, getting disappointed at the smallest inconvenience, it's best to keep this to yourself.
2. 'You're wrong'
Next, Ibrahim questioned why any man would would tell his girl 'you're wrong'. "Are you f**king dumb? That's like going to Sub-Saharan Africa, finding a hungry lion, slapping it across the face with a piece of tender meat and then sitting there shocked when it attacks you," he joked. "You know what is says on your gravestone? Cause of death, 'telling his girl she is wrong.'"
3. Maybe you should change your outfit
"Your girl has taken three business days to choose that outfit - she had PowerPoint presentations with the girls explaining why that was the best outfit and you ruined the next 15 years of her life with one comment," he jokingly said. Regardless of what she wears, Ibrahim believes it's better tell he she she looks good. Women can sometimes spend hours planning their outfits for special occasions, so it's important for men to never suggest changing last minute, Ibrahim said.
4. Don't feel like eating
When it comes to food, Ibrahim said men have 'no excuse' but to eat every time their girlfriend is hungry and to never say 'I don't feel like eating'. "When you start dating or seeing a girl, you sign a contract you didn't know about that basically says you now share a stomach," he said. He continued, "She's not asking you if you're hungry, she's telling you you're hungry so let's go eat there's no excuses, go."
5. Get any nail colour
"If a girl is at the nail studio and she's asking you what colour she should do her nails, this is her promoting you. She's accepting you, don't ruin the opportunity!" Ibrahim said."You might say, 'I don't care, choose any nail colour', but what she's hearing is: 'I want to break up with you.'" When a girl gets her nails done, Ibrahim said this is an opportunity to offer suggestions on the perfect color. Not only will she appreciate the input, but it will also make her decision easier and make her feel like you care about small things.
The video was watched more than 400,000 times and Ibrahim was praised in the comments by other Instagram users. One comment read, "He Knows." "Any nail colour would make me rage hard," one user wrote jokingly. Couples tagged each other with one writing, "Facts." One comment wrote, "This is too good... the man knows."
