"Fine" - The conversation is over, and if the guy keeps talking, he's in for a verbal thrashing.
"What did you say?" - If you repeat what you said, you're a dead man. So just stay quiet, put your head down, and sit on the couch awaiting orders.
"Ten more minutes" - Just park yourself somewhere and take a nap. She won't be done in the next hour or so.
"Nothing's wrong" - Something is wrong, but if you keep asking about it, you'll be sorry. So, just stay on your toes because she could go off any minute.
"It's Okay" - Two of the most deceptive words ever. She really wants extra time to think about your punishment.
When women say these lines, do you take them as a warning? If not, then what do you do?

LOL.... You nailed those. I find myself doing those sometimes. I hate to play games though, and I am really trying to change those to the actual words I mean to say and that men can understand easily...
Wow, that was helpful, especially since I have five sisters and didn't know any of this. I mean, how could I possibly know this with five sisters?
Come on, guys. This stuff is obvious. If you don't get your stuff in shape and throw something edgy at us, I'mma have to start submitting posts again.
sooooooo cute.
Haha this is so true. I've used all these lines at one point or another :p
hahaha!!!!!!!
hey ,just keep silent !
hahahha!!!!!!!i think that will be the best way for each other if man meet this situation.
that's work!really!
Well, this is what they mean when I use them:
"Fine": Okay then, do it your way, idiot; so I can tell you, "I told you so" later!
"What did you say?": Depends on what he actually said. You got one of my responses. The other is, "I can't believe you just said that!"
"Ten more minutes": You got that one too.
"It's okay": I don't want to talk about it, just leave me alone before I deck you (or try to).
I always say "Fine." and I get PISSED OFF when people talk after that. I'm like, "NO. SHUT UP. 'FINE', MEANS THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER."
Way to get it right. :)
Ya know what might be easier? Just say what the hell you actually mean!!!! I'm not saying this just to women either because I've seen a list about 'what guys really mean when they say something'. If you don't say what you mean then what gives you the right to get mad when the person you're speaking to doesn't understand you.
The one that really pisses me off on this list though is the last one ''Its Okay''. If someone apologizes to you and you say 'its okay,' its over. If you need more time to be mad or 'think of a punishment' then don't say its okay, be honest and say you're not ready to accept the apology. Being deceiving just makes you a bitch.
@C_UNIT42@xanga - I know right?
Personally I've been guilty of using the phrases above but that was in like high school. Now I just tell people how it is. No beating around the bush; its a waste of time and energy that I don't have!
Yeah I guess those are usually pretty accurate. All though I probably DO want to talk about whatever is bothering me... But yeah, it MIGHT be in the best interest of the guy to leave it alone or I will probably explode on him... Nobody likes that :)
Yeah, pretty much.
Except for the 10 minutes part. I am always on time, so when I say 5:00 I don't mean 5:30 or even 6:00.
When they say any of those... let's just say it is time to head for your "man cave" really fast.
This is all information a boy can piece together when he's about 12 if he's cynical, 14 if he's not.
"Fine" - The conversation is over, and if the guy keeps talking, he's in for a verbal thrashing.
And we're in for a thrashing if we don't continue because women will then go "There was something wrong you insensitive prick!"
"What
did you say?" - If you repeat what you said, you're a dead man. So just
stay quiet, put your head down, and sit on the couch awaiting orders.
True. Be right or be happy; can't have both. I repeat what I say and I get my share of troubles for it.
"Ten more minutes" - Just park yourself somewhere and take a nap. She won't be done in the next hour or so. '
Mileage varies on the woman. Most will need a bit more time, but not really an hour or so.
"Nothing's
wrong" - Something is wrong, but if you keep asking about it, you'll be
sorry. So, just stay on your toes because she could go off any minute.
See the first example. However, this is actually relationship hurting to both sides of the couple in reality.
"It's Okay" - Two of the most deceptive words ever. She really wants extra time to think about your punishment.
Not always true. Sometimes a woman will say that just to put the bad shit behind her.
When women say these lines, do you take them as a warning? If not, then what do you do?
I've agreed that they are all warnings, but I have different approaches.
For 1 and 4; It depends on the woman's tone. If she's sad sounding, I persist unless she's not ready to talk about it. If she's angry, I persist cautiously and I don't let up even if she doesn't want to talk about it; because if I did something wrong, I have the right to know what it is and I'd like to help try to mend it, otherwise the relationship suffers because of petty jealousy and poor communication.
2: I agree on what you said. Since I have no intention of getting laid, I persist for being right, rather than being happy.
3 is no problem to me.
5 can mean what you said or what I think she said. Not all women use that line with double meanings.
It all depends on her tone of voice when she says it. And when I say "10 minutes" I really mean 10 minutes lol.
omg, exactly.
I'm so glad i read this because i suck at signals.
guys should be even more prepared when she says those things whilst smiling..............it means that the guy is in deep trouble, get ready, call a friend and get out
why is it always the same type of post on mancouch? didn't somebody just recently blog about something very similar already?
Let's see.
"Fine" - The conversation is over, and if the guy keeps talking, he's in for a verbal thrashing.
Guilty, only when we're arguing. I also use this phrase as a joke, and he knows it
"What
did you say?" - If you repeat what you said, you're a dead man. So just
stay quiet, put your head down, and sit on the couch awaiting orders.
Haha, always say it, as a joke. He always just laughs at me for being a "big woman."
"Ten more minutes" - Just park yourself somewhere and take a nap. She won't be done in the next hour or so.
Never happened. I am always, or not most of the time early, and rather waits for him because I know how much he hates waiting, and how much patients he has.
"Nothing's
wrong" - Something is wrong, but if you keep asking about it, you'll be
sorry. So, just stay on your toes because she could go off any minute.
Always, but only because I know it's pretty irrelevant and I know I am going to get over it soon. So why tell him and bothers him?
"It's Okay" - Two of the most deceptive words ever. She really wants extra time to think about your punishment.
I say this a lot as well, but it's not because I need more time to think about his punishment. That's stupid, I never would want to punish him for anything and everything. I say it's okay because I just don't want him to worry anymore.
LOL. just about right. haha most of them at least :)
I once dated an asshole who would always mutter sh*t under his breath and I was like "What was that?" "What did you say?"
Nothing.....nothing. Don't mutter sh*t if you can't repeat it.
I digress, those are spot on.
SPOT ON! Lol.. so true.
I've said all of those, but I'm trying not to. It annoys the crap outta my bf when I say nothing's wrong. His response is "Ok, I'm not asking again even though I know something is wrong"
pretty funny, but true!
