A running joke I've had between friends over the last year or so, was a list of things NOT to say to a female. As conversation between some of the guys (both male and female) we have identified a few. The qualifications are that your not allowed to swear or anything to that idea, kinda things that could be said and not realised that it would be taken as offensive.
One I have found, of course by my own fault, is that girls (and to lesser extent guys) hate it when you say that you 'know' them, or even worse that you say that they are predictable.
I have had many harsh words directed at me, after I have told someone that they're predictable.
Okay I do believe it's very full of myself when I have done it because I guess I've said it in a very condescending voice, and for those who are reading, I am very sorry and I never meant it like that.
I think we as humans have this insane want to know who we are, but on the other hand we are very protective of letting others know who we are. We hate being vulnerable and the vulnerability of being known by someone else, like inside and out, puts us in a place we don't want to be. And hence we lash out or get upset about.
I also seem to find that when I'm thinking something I don't want people to know, they in turn do, and when I'm kinda screaming out for someone to read me, they have no idea at all, and miss it completely.
So I guess this is just a whole lot of random thoughts I needed to get out, and might be of interest.
Feel free to comment, would love someone else’s insights.

I agree that telling a female they are predictable is not a good thing..i have been told i am predictable in a few arguements with this guy and i really hate it! i actually dont know why i dislike being called predictable but when someone goes"ahh your so f*#@in predictable" i get kinda annoyed..especially when im not ALWAYS predictable..ps like your site..
