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...

Not oblivious... clueless comes closer to it, unless guys don't care what women feel and think. The older the guys are, the higher the probability is that they have figured out the "female code".

The meaning is not obvious.
The dictionary definition of nothing is "nothing" not "everything" or "that thing you did yesterday and I didn't call you on because I think you should have known before-hand that I would be frustrated with you for it and so I'm waiting for you to apologize for it" (or something to that effect).
Thus, the obvious meaning of "nothing" is not the latter.

This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It

This is also one of the most manipulative statements somoene can use.
My dad uses this a lot when he's looking for any reason to hit someone... ya learn pretty quickly to just shut up.

Heh sometimes I don't get women. Speak what you mean and ya be ok :p

Whatever~

Whoa i meant it in a nice way...sorry

Don't worry, it's NOTHING ..... lol

I use "Fine" and leave it at that.

If it is bad, it is followed with "Whatever".

Lol confuse the goose? Heh I'm out numbered here a little help guys? Thanks but no thanks I just endured hell all night and most of the day today so I'm good. But yea I'm not going to take any of this seriously no reason to.

god I hate codes there confusing but meh I'm outta here before anything happens see ya have a good night ladies.

I know its just a joke but its so true that it triggered my dysphoria because I may have done these things :/ Idk.

Don't feel bad man I think I might have as well.

It's not just women that do these things.
That is, say single words in passive aggressive manner that do not convey their meaning and expect the other person to know what they are thinking and feeling without them needing to take responsibility for expressing their thoughts and feelings in a clear manner.

To be honest, if someone says "whatever" or "fine" instead of explaining themselves, I truly don't believe they care whether the other person knows what they really feel or mean, that they're more interested in being angry than being understood.

(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.

Ummm - ok...  Judged by this yardstick I am just SOOOOO not a woman a lot of the time. Alison is though!  Whereas mostly I say what I mean and I mean what I say cos usually it's easier that way!
