Nine Words Women Use

women_talk
This was forwarded to me in an email, I found it amusing and valid enough to share because as funny as it was…. there is some truth to it!

Man and women do communicate differently, I credit my years as a police officer with helping me understand how better to communicate with men. Unfortunately it does affect my communication with women and as much as I enjoy being direct and to the point, I have to make an extra effort of prolonging my talk when I am engaged in conversation with women or I get labeled as being ‘cold and business like’. (hahaha I know, you couldn’t tell by reading my blogs)

Have a little fun and share it with your male and female friends – you may save a few relationships.

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument Then 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. *heed this one!

(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. (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 SOMEWHERE ELSE!

(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.

PS: My husband says, be wary when a woman uses three of these phrases in one sentence. *wink
