Decoding Women Speak
Still crazy busy with wedding but Robyn emailed this to me and I had to share! What do you guys think? Ever heard your women use these words? Women? Is this accurate?!
Nine Words Women Use
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) 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”.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is 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 about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you’re welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says ‘Thanks a lot’ - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say ‘you’re welcome’ . that will bring on a ‘whatever’).
(8) Whatever: Is a woman’s way of saying GO TO HE#@!
(9) Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response refer to # 3.

I have to agree with most if not all of these “female expressions”, but there’s a major one missing…
He: “are you mad at me?”
She: “No I’m not, - your name here -” = YES I am mad, how are you NOT getting that?
But I think it’s only fair that I, as a dating coach for men, explain some “male expressions” to help women understand men.
1) No, you’re not calling at a bad time honey: yes you are calling at a bad time, I was busy and/or enjoying myself but I just know you’ll get mad at me if I say you ARE disturbing me… so just tell me what’s wrong this time.
2) How can I make it up to you?: if I say I’m sorry you’re still mad, if I try to make it up with you it’s probably not enough and you’re even angrier with me, so let me just ask what it takes to end this pointless discussion.
3) No honey, I do understand: I really don’t understand why you’re making such a drama out of this, but I don’t want to talk about this all day so I hope you’ll be quiet and enjoy my company if I say I understand.
Lol! Hope that helps

I agree with some of this but not all. Granted we (women) will say we dont speak in code because to us its not code its just plain obvious and how we are. One woman can turn give another a look and to a bystanding guy you would not get it but to us an entire conversation has just happened without having to speak. I do belive that alot of the problem with “decoding” the opposite sex is that people are not honest and dont communicate like they use to. Along with the fact that people are to self absorbed in wanting there own way. If your doing either your going to have problems and the “list” will come into play then. Granted I know nobody is perfect and we all have moments where we are selfsih and dont put the other person first or we dont explain what were thinking because we dont want to get into it because it just easier to say “IM FINE” and drop it. But honestly how do you growin a relationship if its based on that? Now I am not saying dont be tactful or top just sit down and tell them every fault you find with them but a person cant fix a situation or correct a problem if you always tel them im fine you didnt do anything wrong. You can lovingly explain to someone what is wrong and they should patiently try and listen. It wont always be perfect but if you are both honest with eachother when you are hurt or just down then as you both work together through the problems you grow closer. Verses “oh im fine, or whatever” your only growing farther away and breaking down communication. Hope this helps!

I think Men are not that complex.Either they like you for who you are or they like you for sex.If its for sex then after sex they wont call you .if they Like you for who you are they will call you back and after sex look into your eyes.
Well this website http://www.dateclass101.com is a really good one to look at

May be………to some extent……..But I think they are not always true. Anyways a hilarious post to share. A great help for men striving hard to understand their special women…

Jamie,
That is one reason, women prefer “experienced” men, most women either, don’t have the patience to clarify what she is saying, or is too proud to do it. (most women go into the, “he should know mode”)

Albert, I might rephrase your post, “if they like you for who you are,” I would say, “if you didn’t insult your man” or “degrade him, in public” he will call back.

@ Jamie: I totally agree with what you said. Women perfectly understand each other just like men understand each other, but the problem with decoding is not only being selfish. That may be a part of it, but the problem’s a little bigger than that…
As a dating coach, the #1 thing I noticed about most (if not ALL) single men I meet or talk to is that they have NO clue about how a woman signals interest. Or any other emotion for that matter.
If a woman tries to make eye contact, a guy will think she looked his way by accident or because she was trying to see something behind him. True story!
Fiddling with your hair, crossing your legs and pointing one foot at them, staying near them, and even touching them gently every time they say something you like?
Men don’t have a clue that a woman shows her interest in them that way…
But the question is WHY.
Here’s why. The dating game is not fair to most men, because of most men.
When women have guy problems, they call their friends and talk about it for hours and hours. Hell, you can talk about everything with your female friends right? Even how good the sex is, how you do it, where, how long, etc.?
Here’s how men handle girl problems: she was mad at you? That sucks man! Want a beer? And that’s it.
Men never (or hardly) share their insights about female psychology, discuss why a woman does XYZ or how to do ABC to get a woman to do blablabla. In short: we can’t talk about love, sex, dating, and attraction like women do.
What’s worse: my generation was raised by a mother. Why? Even though dad is home in the weekend, the evenings and 1 day during the week in these emancipated times… who STILL spends the most time with a boy growing up?
His mom.
So because of these 2 things, men have a hard time figuring out what being a man is really all about. They don’t know, nobody shows them, nobody tells them… all they see is Hollywood.

I stumbled upon this site on Google and just wanted to take some time to say thank you for the excellent dating advice you have written about on this blog.

“I feel my period coming” translates to “go jerkoff with a wet towel!”
July 24th, 2010 at 12:37 pm
hahaha. women soooo speak in code. I love it. The real question is how to answer back so you’re not in the doghouse
