(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 GO TO HELL

(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.

why must women say one thing, yet mean another

you sillies.

Because we are evil 

Guilty -  had my BF read them just to be sure there would be no future confusion

-={LR}=-

I'm guilty of it all...<<

LOL... *Guilty*  ... 

Yep... thats me LoL

I must be dificient, I don't use any of them 

It's not what is said, it's the whole tone/body language/eyes/scary face part of it.

I've been on both sides of this equation and I kind of like being able to communicate with short direct words.

And the guys still don't get it...

*sigh*

-Sandy

These are really good. 

This disturbs me on how acurate this actually is...

Cuz its a test for men, ingrained in our brains to choose the best mate, cultivated over time and evolution, to be the ultimate method of determining if someone is right for you.  One that picks up on it will be found worthy!  but fail be cast into the hell where you will be nagged alive.

i cant control myself they just happen as if hard wired.... O.O  you dont realize it till you read it and go.... damn i do that stuff all the time.... why?

Lol my sister has said all of that, im amused <3

Yes... we ARE evil .... be afraid... be very VERY afraid! 

I loved that, it's funny because I've both been a victim of it, AND done it.. haha.

You girls can say whatever you want to say, just quit expecting us guys to know that you mean something entirely unrelated to what you're actually saying.
We're not mind-readers you know! Not most of us anyway.
If you want us to know what you mean, say what you mean.
Getting mad at us for failing to know what you mean when you don't say what you mean just means you're being unreasonable, not us.

Now excuse me while I run for my life. !

Thank you for posting. It's soooo amazingly true.

The only relationship I ever had with a woman (long pre-transition but out to her as trans), we went through all these nine statements after tons of misunderstandings and she had to explain their meaning to me. Then she was like: "You really even think like a guy!!!" And I said: "Er, maybe, yes..." and ask her if she would object if I ever transition. Well she told me I definitely have a male brain, but she would leave me if I ever became a guy as she's into butch lesbians, but as a lesbian, male bodies don't work for her.

Worst thing about these nine statements, though, is I tended to use some of this stuff myself. But I think it's less "female brain" communication as such, but more "indirect language used by people who have less power and therefore cannot force anything upon powerful people and therefore need to leave a door open in case the powerful partner does not agree". My ex MTF is quite direct as well which I found awesome. Mediterranean matrones are often direct, too. And BDSM females tend to be more direct as well as if you are into that kind of stuff, you have to communicate your wishes and no-gos directly to avoid big trouble or at least awful sessions no matter if you're top or bottom.

Well, I thought it was obvious what those phrases actually mean...

Some guys are more oblivious then I thought, I guess.

I just realized that obvious and oblivious are very close to one another...
