The Real Meaning Behind the Words Women Say

Guessing what a woman means is something men know they have to do. For example, the top of the list is always going to be the word ‘fine’. This is dangerous territory as most men know, but for those of you that don’t, we are here to help. ‘Fine’ is generally a term that means anything but fine. You have done something to upset your woman and clearly you should know what, and should be scampering out to purchase some rare diamonds or jewels as you have most definitely messed up badly here!

If the word ‘fine’ is uttered at the end of a spat then this is your cue to leave well enough alone. Do not fight on, as things really will get ugly. Simply back away from your lady and get yourself down to the shops for a present that says sorry.  Stepping back from this point, if you asked a question and got the answer ‘nothing’ as in, ‘What ever is the matter, darling?’ to which the answer comes back ‘nothing’ in a clipped and short tone then you are on a single track to ‘fine’, as it is sure to come if you dare challenge her.  ‘Nothing’ is your warning shot! Time to think back and work out what you have done and put it right before you find yourself sleeping on the couch with the word ‘fine’ ringing in your ears, longing for the warmth of your bed and the comfort of your lady.

Should you be unfortunate enough to miss the warning shot, don’t feel too bad. Most men are just not smart enough to pick up on it. Don’t blame yourself as it is a gender wide defect (oh, how can you tell a woman is writing this article!) You are going to have several more chances to prevent the ‘fine’ ending.  The loud sigh is clearly a warning that she is getting really cross now. How can you be so blind and not see what she can see? Now it is time to make strategic repair moves.

Whatever else happens here you really want to avoid her uttering the dreaded word ‘whatever’. If this happens then believe me you have blown it. You have failed to quickly recognize your fault and put things right, but foolishly you chose the route of argument, debate and reason.  Take it from me. That is a one-way ticket to everything bad, and nothing good.  ‘Whatever’ is the lowest insult and you are going to have to work incredibly hard to make your comeback from here.  Flowers, chocolates and diamonds are going to be called for here. However, there is a potential saving grace. You may not like it and it may hurt a lot, but if you are unlucky enough to receive a ‘whatever’ then you need to pray it gets closely followed by ‘That’s okay’.

The lady in your life is now saying that she isn’t simply going to sulk, she is going to be proactive. She is now thinking of ways to get even with your for the damage you have done, and yes we know you haven’t said a word yet, but really that line of defense will not help you now.  At least with a ‘That’s okay’ you can be reasonably sure she will be speaking to you in the near future, but that you need to expect your punishment to fall sooner rather than later, especially if the words darling, dear, or honey were tagged on the end as that is the final sting of the whip, and boy did you make a mess of things!
Thankfully you now know the worst things you can hear from a woman, and have remembered that ‘nothing’ is your warning shot. Now you know that an argument with loud sighs, ‘whatever’ and ‘that’s okay, dear’ can be averted by a swift dash to the shops, a nice cup of tea and lots of groveling, and you should be able to avoid the dog house for this week at least.
