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

A truly smart man would save himself a lot of grief and end the relationship.

Thankfully, not every woman behaves in this fashion, and there is much to be said for cutting ones losses.

good lord seems some of the posters here have lost their sense of humour. Tell you what, if you do't like the joke or don't get it then don't post & leave the rets of us to have a laugh.

Miserable gits!!!

Looking at the smug, condescending tone of some of the posts, it is a little difficult to appreciate the humour.

Still, dont give up, you might get there someday.

as I said, if you don't like it, then dont read it & certainly feel free to not bother posting about it. some people get it & some don't, don't feel bad about it but don't put a downer on it for the rest of us.

Perhaps you stumbled into the wrong Forum.... THIS IS the LADIES Forum and if you have nothing of interest apart from perhaps trying to 'flame' women and incite provocative responses, I suggest you visit the other Forum - there are plenty here.

Boo's post - if you read from other responses - was taken in the way it was meant - as good ole fun! As you are not a woman, I doubt you would understand, whereas us WOMEN did. As you will see, SOME guys have also responded in the lighthearted manner that I'm sure Boo intended to make. Thanks guys

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

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!

Andiamo, no I did not stumble into the wrong forum, I checked out a new post. As I understand it, whilst it is the ladies forum, it does not give ladies the right to post material that is beyond comment from others? You post, you are open to fair comment. Correct?

Please look at the selected quotes above your post, and tell me that there is not a smug, condescending air about them?

Please also look at a couple of other posts, not quoted, that were less than complimentary. Clearly, I am not the only one that thinks this thread somewhat less than amusing.

Flaming? No, I do not think so. Unlike someone whom one could have expected more from, I have not resorted to name calling. I have kept my argument well within the bounds of civility.

And I do not see this as a gender issue. If some men were to start a thread that would be categorised as sexist and derogatory, I would find it equally unamusing.

In any event, appreciate your polite response. It would appear that one has to be thankful for small mercies.

"If you dont like it dont read it" is not a licence to post drivel, nor is it a shield from fair comment.

and you have already been told it was a joke, others got it, you didn't so deal with it but take you stirring elsewhere, it wont be tolerated here. I hope that is clear enough for you.

Boo, my dear friend, please accept that there are some miserable bastards in the world who are always looking for opportunities to be, well, miserable! I wish they'd just just stop checking the thread if they are so bothered by it. That's what I do and it works every time...

thank you super tiger. I know I shouldn't be drawn but really, a joke can't be funny to all so there is no need to turn it into an "issue" if it doesn't tickle their funny bone.

Well, I thought it was funny and enjoyed reading it immensely...great stuff; however, up to you!

Yeah, it gave me, and my wife, a laugh!

Is this a threat in your official capacity, or is it a personal opinion?

Make it an official public warning from me instead. This is the ladies forum, please read the rules specific to this forum before posting. If you have issues with women then this is not the place for you to post.

SBK,

Thank you for drawing my attention to the rules specific to this forum.

I do not have any issues with women, as an objective reading of my posts should show. I did make it clear that I do not see this as a gender issue, but rather as one of differing viewpoints.

Be that as it may, I do recognise that unlike the other forums, free expression of divergent opinions is certainly not as welcome. And as I am not a lady, I do not get a vote on this, and have to respect the prevailing situation.

This I shall do.

Good Day.

Thank you for an appropriately polite response

the whole thing is very tongue in cheek, and thats the way its meant to be taken. sheesh.

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

The reason we don’t get it is because we are guys and we would really rather not have to use language at all. We are much happier when we are drinking beer, playing sports, having sex, exploring, building bridges, fixing motor cars…you know the sort of thing we like. So on the odd occasion that we do have to use language we just say what we mean and try to get the degrading experience over with as quickly as possible. So the idea of saying one thing and meaning another is, frankly, beyond us.

Hope this helps

Ade :-)

Boo - are you sure you're not my husband that posted this - it is so true to life! I have said at least 7 of the nine
