How to Respond to a Guy Calling You Crazy

When responding to a guy who calls you crazy, your approach depends on the situation and tone. Here’s how to handle some common scenarios men may say you’re crazy:

If he says it jokingly or lightly in a text: React playfully. Example responses:

• “Only crazy for you babe!”
• “What’s it like dating a crazy chick like me? 🤪”
• “If I’m crazy, then you made me this way!”

Laughing it off and flirting back shows confidence while subtly telling him to be careful using that word.

If he says you’re crazy for confronting him about an issue: Firmly tell him name-calling is immature and unacceptable, not the issue itself.

• “Calling me crazy for confronting an issue is immature”
• “If calmly expressing my feelings makes me “crazy,” then I guess I’m crazy!”
• “Name-calling solves nothing, let’s discuss this respectfully”

Stay confident defending yourself while redirecting the conversation.

If he tries saying all women are crazy: Shut down this offensive stereotype quickly but clearly.

• “That absurd stereotype is far from truth and says more about you.”
• “Generalizing an entire gender that way is completely inaccurate.”
• “I know plenty of perfectly sane women and crazy men.”

Avoid aggression when challenging offensive stereotypes he may thoughtlessly perpetuate. Kill ignorant remarks with confidence, grace and facts.

How to Respond to a Girl Calling You Crazy

If a girl calls you, another guy, or men generally “crazy”, here is how to gracefully respond:

If said seriously during an argument: Tension often causes hurtful words. Gently tell her you find that term offensive, favoring more constructive communication. Stay thoughtful avoiding escalation.

If said lightly teasing you: Joke it off by playing into the “crazy” comment then pivoting the focus onto her. Examples:

• “You drive me crazy gorgeous”
• “Takes one to know one, but your crazy is pretty cute”

Charm her with playful arrogance while subtlety hinting to avoid blanket “men are crazy” remarks.

If said about men in general: Politely challenge the generalization, suggesting people of all genders have sanity and eccentricity in equal measure. Or playfully own it, saying “us crazy men can’t get enough of you women.” Adding some wisdom with wit neutralizes the insensitive remark.

Conclusion

Being called crazy may sting, especially from someone you admire and adore. But as the saying goes – words only have the power you give them. Let his “crazy” comment spark a clever, disarming and confidence response instead of pain.

You might even capture his attention better, finding yourself hand-in-hand with that “crazy” woman at the wedding altar one day!
