About six years ago, Aaron Marino of alpha m. congratulated a friend for being pregnant. BUT she was not pregnant! She had just got chubby. From this one instance, Aaron never assumes or asks that a woman is pregnant.
Currently, Aaron is 99% sure that the barista at Starbucks is pregnant. Instead of asking if she’s pregnant, he asks her, “What’s new?” She doesn’t say anything about a pregnancy. Gentlemen, let’s make it a point to never ask a woman if she’s pregnant. Only say something if you are 100% sure she is pregnant. Wait and let them tell you before you congratulate.
