Words Women Often Use:

FINE
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

FIVE MINUTES
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

NOTHING
This is the calm before the storm. This means "something" and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in "Fine"

GO AHEAD
This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.

LOUD SIGH
This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing"

THAT'S OKAY
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

THANKS
A woman is thanking you. Do not question it or faint. Just say you're welcome.

"WHATEVER"
...it's a woman's way of saying *!..@ YOU!

Shoulda posted this in RI... :o

Uh, does cooking and cleaning INVOLVE talking :?

How would it? :o ...Unless they're yelling that over to you while they're doing so. ^_^

Damn those words.

Kurai..

I love you.

:rolleyes:

I've been looking for those for awhile. :lol:

I have a "What men and women actually mean" thingie somewhere around here. If I find it, I'll post that as well :o

Win.

Oh, doesn't any form of "Go" or "Go Away" mean that they want you to stay and comfort them? Or "I want to be alone" or something.

Women are masters of reverse psychology. :P

Edit: And, Hiei, wasn't the idea of me cooking thrown out a long time ago?

I keep telling you to follow the instructions on the packaging, but NOOOOO...

I doooo. It just... sort of... dies. :/

I can bake though. Normally. Unless it's from scratch. ^_^ ;;;

...

What? X___x;

It's that a woman usually means the exact opposite of what they just said.


Except this one.


PERHAPS!

Do the both of you enjoy being picked apart by feminists? Cause geez, that's trolling to a feminist dude...

Shhh. I'm talking to Puff and Kurai. :P

Meh, Rey, I'm a feminist, to a certain degree. I've just given up on arguing with them. Doesn't make them right, but, whatever. :P

I'm glad my girlfriend doesn't say any of that.

Yep. It does to my experience. I got yelled at for walking off and leaving. ^_^

:o

... :lol: Yeah, that's true. I'll admit it. ^_^

...Unless you're really pissed off, and actually want to be left alone, but we generally let the men know when that's the case. :P

Usually screaming and such helps to show whether we're really angry, huh? :P

Uh, like, you like, forgot to like, mention like, one more, like word, like, on your list....like 0.o

(Okay only some say "like" insanely often, but the ones who do get on my nerves so much, and yes, I do know some boys do the exact same thing, but still)

Wow. I must say that list makes so much sense and yet so very, very little.....WHy can't you just say what you want??

Quick. Hide. A woman used the word "WHATEVER". :o

*ducks for cover*

She doesn't mean it. :P


*ish exploded* :mellow:

Nonono, 'whatever' is only bad if we use it as an interjection. ^_^

Example:

Good use: "Yeah, but... whatever."

Run and Hide: "You think my ass looks big in this dress?! Whatever!"

:P

Because, obviously, if we told you what we wanted, you'd do it more out of obligation than genuine feeling. Plus, getting the real meanings make you seem like a sweeter guy who actually cares about and understands the woman in question, AKA it gets you Brownie Points.

And Brownie Points are always good. ^_^ Every time you screw up in interpretations, we just take that away from your total. :lol:

Knowing us for who we really are makes you guys seem more empathetic and, as Sara said, sweet. :3

...Be glad you have a guide. Be very glad. :lol:

*Copies notes* Does this come in a semester class? ^_^

Only if you can deal with being surrounded by estrogen at all times of the month. (Even the infamous 'avoid Kurai' week. :lol:)

Uh huh...*taking notes* Be quiet always...wear kevlar...only cut on the really bad days...

I live with my mom and sister... my mom's particularly snappy, AND she has extended cycle-ness... so, yeah, I can definitely deal with estrogen.

girls r hawt.

My mom to my dad: "Get off the couch and help me clean the house!"
His response: "Five minutes, honey, the Chargers are on!"
*once the game is over three hours later* "Honey, where did you go, I thought you needed help cleaning!"

Another couple from my sister: "I promise I'll be good!" or "I promise I'll take care of the pet, pweeeeeese get it for me!"

An example of their excessive cleaning needs: They spend the whole day cleaning and trying on clothes, but it's not like you're gonna wear more than one pair of pants or shirt today, anyways!

That was only barely a necro. Next time, don't necropost or I'll warn ya.

... Uhh, do those sayings have another meaning, or were you just posting statements that the women you know use?

Women don't enjoy cleaning the house. As my mom told me, it needs to be done, and they're the only ones who aren't lazy. No one wakes up and says, "Oh boy! I have to vacuum today! :o "

"Excessive cleaning needs"? Pffft. I never clean my room until I'm threatened, and my locker gets its annual cleaning the day we're supposed to have them cleaned out. I always end up finding someone else's clothes/mitts/exercises at the bottom. It's like a treasure hunt! :o

And, actually, I wear more than one pair of clothes on a school day: gym clothes. :/


... I can't really think up anymore words that girls use in general, but I have Sara-ism translations. -_-

It's a language we guys aren't supposed to get. :"(

My mom likes cleaning. Oddly. So does my grandma on both sides. And it doesn't sound like you're a mom yet.

No offense girls but guys just aren't supposed to understand girls. That's our reason in life: to find out why girls do what they do. We're not supposed to really get anything from life, except understanding.

Thankfully, I'm not a mother, no. But, no woman I know likes cleaning. Every once in a while I get in a mood where I want to help people and clean, but that's only happened twice ever.

Alright then. I'll just keep my girl-advice to myself from now on. Thanks for telling me.

HEYYY! I'm finding this advice helpful. Or Amusing at least.

Personally? I can't stand cleaning up. So, that stereotype that women like cleaning is total BS, in my opinion. :/

No one likes cleaning except OCD people *no offense to them* So, i'm siding with the ladies. Poll-guy, maybe they just have to get it done.
