Do you say what you mean

Or do you expect others to
read your mind?
I just read an article..look below
"Translation of Female Speak...
(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 not 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 women's way of saying SCREW YOU!
(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."
Most of these are not me..Do they discribe you?

These are really funny. I have to admit that I like them.
However, I DO say what I mean... I have the reputation for calling a spade a spade. I tend to be very blunt and don't really worry if it might be viewed as offensive.
Reminds me of a joke I once heard about a young nun who returned to the convent. On her way inside she passed a group of council workers doing some work. Upon arriving inside she ran to her room, crying. The mother superior heard that she was upset and went to her room, knocked gently on the door and entered. She asked the young nun, 'What is wrong my child?' The young nun replied 'It's those workmen outside, they are crude, rude and vulgar!' Mother superior replied, 'Nonsense my dear, they simply call a spade a spade."
The young nun replies, 'No they don't, they call it a F*CKING SHOVEL!'
That's me alright

In some cases, yes. Although I'm working on being more direct when I want something. It tends to annoy other people that I'm not. My ex would agree with the writer that when I say "whatever", I usually mean "Screw you" or "F Off", depending on what mood I'm in and how pissed I am. I inherited that skill from my mother, but she doesn't like it when I do it to her.

Yea..raydene...that's pretty exciting... I like that..thanks for sharing ...
Anyway, this is normal , we are all human exactly.. and human does have the so called "feeling"... sometimes we feel nice and good and we instantly become more talkative , energetic and even sometimes being extra super energetic which shouldnt be good as well...
In contrast , sometimes we might have bad day which bring us to bad mood.. bad state and bad feeling...we could'nt even think rationally and talk nicely...
So, in that case ,That's might be the best time to just keep silence or keep giving short and easy response as what you already list up above...
Keep silence is somehow and sometimes is better than heavy talking .... am i right ? Hmm, also, it's would better for all couple out there to start learning more sign language to be applied in certain situations.. ha ha.. :D.

LOL Acouple of these are me Mom but only with David and he knows how to translate them but often chooses not to! Mine is more that when i get fed up asking him to do something I change tack and tell him I don't want it done anymore ! usually this works but when i did it the other week Niall got very upset when he started doing something I had used this manipulation to get him going with,he started going at him that he wasn't to do it that Mum didn't want it done and getting quite irate! David turned around and told him that was my way of getting him to do something he kept putting off, that he knew when i started saying that he had better hurry up and get it done( I knew he knew!) Poor Niall was very confused - he sure has a lot to learn about women! lol xxx

Hi raydene! haha..That is really funny. However, some of those listed are applicable to me such as the "Nothing", the loud sigh and "Don't worry about it, i got it". But I guess, some of the times, I am all that! haha..
Take Care and God Bless! Happy Mylotting!

1. is not me at all. I always say what I think and if I want someone to shut up because I'm right I will just say I'm right, you're wrong so shut up. I don't beat around the bush with anything.
2. I usually just tell the guy it will be 15 minutes because that's how long it takes me to get ready.
3. I do say this if I'm just really down on myself and don't want anyone to really know what I'm thinking about.
4. I also say this. It is a dare when I say it too.
5. I do sometimes sigh loudly but it doesn't mean he's an idiot. It just means that I'm irritated by something.
6. Usually I do say that's ok. But I really do mean that's ok.
7. I do say thanks often it's good unless I say thanks a lot which is pure sarcasm.
8. This does mean screw you to me. However I usually say both whatever and screw you.
9. I do say don't worry about it usually I mean it. I don't tend to be irritated about anything. I end up doing most things myself anyways because I want it done a certain way.

That's funny, thanks for sharing it. I do see a lot of truth in it for me, although I'm working on it.
