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 woman 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.

8.) Whatever : Is a women's way of saying F@!K YOU!

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.

Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology.

So true, I remember most of these terms being used on me

Class

Ah yes, very familiar indeed

Very funny list. Proves whay there are so many 'communication' differances between the sexes!

So true! If a man knows what these terms truly mean when a woman says them....thats a very very good thing!

I cant even remember how many times I have said to bfs "Thats okay" and actually mean..."thats NOT okay! I am so pissed at you, and what I really want to say to you is _________." Fill in the blanks!

I understood every single one perfectly. A smart man would study this list

haha. i understood them all too. dunno why men just dont get it!

I've definitely been guilty of No. 6 on the list.

YIKES!!! My husband says most of these things! Should I maybe take a closer look?

Thanks,

I think i need to print out this list so i can study it each morning before the boss gets out of bed.

any chance of a second list with appropriate reply options?

Nidge.

Classic - So so true it's scarey!

Not that I say any of them of course!

Txs Boo

Mea culpa too. I use and have used all of them. The Whatever one seems to be coming out a lot these days but is also peppered with F Off over the telephone to the States....

huh. i don't relate to most of these. guess not all women are the same.

All except 7 seemed like verbal strategies for dealing with conflict, and a strategy based more or less around lying.

reminded me that you got to be mindreader with women.

Would not it be a simpler world if they just told us to f888 off.

Everyone can understand that.

Now I don't need to spend all that money on John Gray's book?

I use them all , and he still don't get it hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Brilliant, we should be taught these from a very early age.

Being a tad naive I have suffered the consequencies from no 4. ‘Go ahead’ on more than one occasion.

I have heard all of these

A truly smart man doesn't play these games with a woman. If she cannot communicate openly and honestly, or control her anger, then it's time to kick her to the curb and drive on. And no, they're not all the same, there are good ones out there. It's also a matter of drawing the line in the sand early. A man cannot let a woman get away with abhorrent behavior for several months and then expect her to change once he's gotten over the "ga-ga" stage. Life is too short to waste one's time.

I can think of other expressions as well!

The irritating, but oft heard phrase, 'up to you', covers a lot of this.

If a man only had ten baht for every time he heard 'up to you' in Thailand, he would be a very wealthy man, and quickly, indeed.

This is a good link to the jokes section.

Nidge.

Have a look at The Walking Street Journal Feb 08 front page Pattaya For Dummies...Get Laid Without Getting Screwed.

It has very detailed advice and information for men faced with such attempted verbal manipulation.

Uncle Festus passes on this wisdom. I D C I don't care.

IDC is the key to success in any and all relationships with Thai women, or any woman for that matter.

Reminds me of my first wife.

Most appropriate reply options?

Lets see, how do you respond when a 'friend' is basically dishonest, manipulative, constantly using emotional blackmail to get their way?

Don't know about you, but I think the first thing to do is end that 'friendship' and get as far away fom that person as possible. There is after all no foundation for a relationship of equals, with mutual trust, openness and respect.

Unless of course you are referring to a relationship with a politician, in which case you would expect them to be basically dishonest and manipulative.
