I just read Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. And I confess, I am still not the greatest at interpreting the intended meaning behind women's words. Here is a brief list of things I've picked up on so far:
* Send this link to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology
* Send this link to all the women you know to give them a good laugh, because they know it’s true
- 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 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.
- 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 actually a not 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).
- 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.
- Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question or faint. Just say you’re welcome. (I want to add 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.”
- Whatever: Is a woman’s way of saying you are in big trouble.
- 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.

This is funny and absolutely true! Memorize every word of it because it will save you a lot of time and misunderstandings in the long run!
ReplyDeleteI've seen this before and though I do recognize some of them as true, I'd say in my case, many of them are major overgeneralizations. (example: five minutes. when I say five mins, I mean five mins. either way.)
