Make a Girl Mad

If you're trying to get attention from a girl, making her mad is one way to do it. You can make her mad in a friendly way by pulling a prank. If you want to make her really angry, work towards making her feel crazy through gaslighting. The risks of making a girl really angry is that she won't forgive you. If you want to be friends with a girl, stick with pranks.

Steps

Pulling Pranks

1. Glue a quarter to the floor. If you know where she sits, superglue a quarter to the floor near her seat. If she doesn't notice it right away, point it out. Ask her, "Is that your quarter?" and point to it. Chances are, she'll try to pick it up.
   • The downside of this prank is that she'll likely know it's you, especially if you're the first one to start laughing.
   • You're unlikely to get that quarter back.
2. Add drink mix to her shower. If you have access to her home bathroom, sneak in just before she goes in to take a shower. Unscrew the shower head, and put a few tablespoons of sugary drink mix where the water will go through. The result will be a sugary beverage coming out of her shower, rather than clean water.
   • Tang works well for this. A colored Kool-Aid, such as cherry, raspberry or grape, also works well.
   • You can also use hard candies in place of drink mix. The candy will dissolve in hot water, covering her with sticky colors.
   • Be aware that this may get on her towels or clothes.
3. Spread heating ointment all over the toilet seat. Heating ointment, such as Icy Hot, is a clear topical ointment meant to relax aching muscles. If you spread it on the toilet seat before she sits down, she'll feel a surprisingly warm, tingling sensation. She won't have any idea where it's coming from.
   • There is a risk that someone else will use the toilet before she does, and that you'll prank them by accident.
   • If she's shy, there's a chance that she won't tell anyone what happened to her in the bathroom, and thus spoil the prank for you. After all, part of the fun of a prank is being able to laugh together at what happened.
4. Sign her up for junk mailing lists. If you have her email address, sign her up for all kinds of mailing lists, catalogs or organizations. Sign her name to petitions that she doesn't want anything to do with. If she's an animal lover, make her mad by signing her up for a hunting advocacy organization, for example.
   • Never sign anyone else up for anything illegal, such as a porn site or other illegal activities. Not only could this get her in real trouble, you might also face criminal charges.
   • If you want her to know who has been signing her up for all this stuff, start asking her questions about subjects she'll have found in her mailbox. For example, asking her about Amish farm equipment when you know she's been signed up for their mailing list will let her know you're the prankster behind the mailings.
5. Bomb her with glitter. Sending her a card filled with sparkling glitter will result in glitter all over her hands, clothes, in the carpet, and on her table. Even though it's a mess, it's a nice mess.
   • You can hire commercial companies to glitter-bomb your friends, co-workers or anyone else you want to prank.
   • Some commercial companies also do "bacon-bombing". If she's a vegetarian, this will be a prank. If she loves bacon, she may thank you for the treat.

Using Gaslighting to Make Her Mad

1. Make her think she's crazy. Gaslighting is one of the quickest, cruelest ways to make a girl mad. All of the following strategies are based in trying to make her doubt her own reality. The trouble with using gaslighting to make a girl mad is that she's unlikely to forgive you afterward.
   • If you only want to make her pay attention to you, avoid using gaslighting techniques. Pranks will be better.
   • If she's prone to depression or anxiety, you might cause a real mental problem for her.
2. Don't admit you're wrong. If you've had a disagreement, one of you is probably right and the other is wrong. If you're in the wrong, not admitting it is a good way to make a girl mad. You can say other things, like "I'm sorry you're angry." This kind of phrase implies that you're a caring person, while she's irrational and upset.
   • Suggesting that she's got PMS is another good way to make a girl mad.
   • Telling her to stay calm, or to not overreact, will make her even more angry.
3. Pretend nothing is your fault. If you've been caught doing something you know you shouldn't do, pretending it's not your fault is a quick way to make a girl mad. Blame it on other people, or the traffic. If you can, blame your misbehavior on her. If you didn't take the laundry out of the machine like you said you would, for instance, tell her she didn't explain it clearly enough. She'll likely get mad.
   • This works for larger situations too. For example, if you were caught cheating, you can explain that you were feeling lonely because of the way she treated you.
   • If you're late for an date, never apologize. You've always got a good excuse for being late, whether it's the weather, bad traffic, being too busy at work, etc.
4. Act differently when you're alone. If you want to make a girl mad at you, acting differently when you're around different people will help. Acting flirtatious around other girls is the best way to make a girl mad at you.
   • This technique may not be effective on some girls, who might blame themselves.
   • Acting like she doesn't matter to you when you're out in public will make her mad, especially if you've acted differently when you're alone.
5. Expect her to do your chores. If you take a girl for granted, expecting her to be your mom/waitress/maid, you'll likely make her mad. You may not be used to doing a lot of your own chores, but expecting a girl to do them for you is unrealistic.
   • Listen to what she says when she's nagging. Nagging is one of the precursors of anger for most girls.
   • If she really loves doing your chores, that's a bad sign for a healthy relationship down the road.
6. Never talk about relationship problems. Girls might be more interested than their boyfriends in discussing any relationship problems. If your girlfriend wants to talk about your relationship, change the subject. Turn on the television, or start texting a friend. Use any distractions you might have to avoid talking about hard emotional issues.
   • You can always claim that it's not a good time. Maybe you had a long day at work or school. This is one way to avoid talking about relationship problems.
   • Not talking about problems doesn't make the problems go away. This strategy is a longer-term directive for making a girl mad. You might not see her anger right away.
7. Text with people she doesn't know. Tell her that you're just texting with "people from work" or "the guys". Laugh when you get replies, but don't explain what was funny. Drop a girl's name occasionally. Especially if she's trying to do something with you, like have dinner or watch television together, she's likely to get mad.
   • If she starts to get mad, make her more angry by saying, "It's just texting."
   • When you finally put your phone away, make it seem like a huge concession. If you act like you're the one who is in the wrong because of her irrational anger, she'll be even more angry.
8. Stay in your own perspective. If she's mad because you said you would be home by 7 and instead it's nearly 9, explain why you're late by telling her more about your point of view. You were late because of bad traffic, or a last minute request at work. Maybe you did an errand on your way home that took longer than you'd thought it would. Explain your side of the story diligently.
   • To really make a girl mad, remember that her side of the story isn't important at all. If she was waiting for you, that's only because she didn't know where you were.
   • Make it seem like she's in the wrong for not listening to your story. If she wasn't really mad before, this should do the trick.

Helping Her Get Past Anger

1. Acknowledge her reality. Letting her know that her point of view is reasonable is important way to get past the anger. When a girl is angry with you, there's a good chance that she's feeling threatened, overwhelmed or scared.
   • If it helps keep you from defending yourself, imagine that she's mad at someone else. Then you might have an easier time listening calmly to her anger.
   • Letting her know that you can see how angry she is may help her calm down more easily.
2. Empathize with her feelings. If you kept her waiting, imagine what it must have been like for her to not know where you were. She might have been embarrassed, or worried, or afraid. Allow yourself to feel what her feelings must have been.
   • When you've recognized her feelings, you'll have a better idea of what might help you in that situation. Probably you would be helped by listening and understanding. Chances are, this is what she needs too!
   • If you never get a chance to explain your good intentions, that's okay. Once you've really empathized with her feelings, explaining your point of view may not feel as important.
3. Remember that she's feeling vulnerable. Someone's anger usually indicates they're feeling threatened in some way. Maybe she's afraid you're planning to leave her, which means she'll have to be alone. Maybe your actions make her feel that she's not worth being cared about. To help a girl get over being mad, you'll need to remind her that she's safe.
   • Remember, everyone is self-centered when they're feeling angry. If she's unable to take in your point of view, that's normal.
   • If you're trying to help her get past feeling mad, don't blame her for being angry. If you're able to translate her anger into her own feelings of fear and anxiety, you'll be better at helping her calm down.
4. Do a reality check for yourself. If you're chronically the cause of her anger, is there something you could change? If so, how do you feel about changing these patterns of behavior or communication? If she's mad at you for things about yourself that you can't change, you should reconsider being in the relationship.
   • Ask a friend to help you with this if you need to. It's not easy to identify your own role in causing problems.
   • Don't make any decisions when you're feeling angry. Wait until you're both calm to talk about important topics.
5. Focus on what helps you feel most calm and confident. If you're feeling calm and confident, there's less chance that you'll react to a girl's anger by getting defensive. You should cultivate habits that help you feel better about yourself.
   • Making a list of concrete things you can do when you're feeling angry and overwhelmed can help. Hang the list someplace you can easily see.
   • A list might include things like: get exercise, do something artistic or crafty, write in a journal, look at an object that you love, or call a friend you trust.
