Thread: Nine Words Women Use

This is a Public Service Announcement.

If you are female and have a male partner then make sure he reads this so he can understand what you are saying.

If you are male and have a female partner, read this very carefully. Otherwise you will not know what she is saying.

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 F-- YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I'll do 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 cannot take credit for this very insightful understanding of the words used by women.

Tropicalgrl1,

What you wrote was just beautiful... To me it encompasses the fact that women are the ones to keep the bonds between family and community. It is a precious gift we have.

Great great wisdom in your words...

This is what I say sometimes when miffed as my SO.

Go outside and play in your garage a while !

I soooo need time by myself and I sometimes feel choked... To me a relashionship with a man does not mean that we are tied with an ombilical cord... It has always been somewhat of an issue... I have always needed time by myself to just get myself together.

I know... I am an odd duck!!!
