Okay so lately I've been hearing a lot of people talking about how they don't understand women and it's kind of confusing to me. Maybe it's because I'm probably one of the lowest-maintenance people you'll ever meet, but a lot of women out of there can probably identify with me. I feel like the image of women being hormonal/angry that's perpetuated by society is unfair, making it somewhat difficult to destroy the stereotype. I'll be the first to admit that sometimes I'm just hangry and won't tell you what's wrong, but I'll usually be honest with you. Guys, you should take notes.
1. "I'm fine."
Okay so this one could go either way. Is she smiling or do her eyes look blank? If you chose the second one, she is definitely not fine. You better start apologizing now. She probably wouldn't mind a bouquet of roses. Or chocolate. If she was really smiling, it's okay to just believe her. Don't keep bugging her about if she's actually fine or not, because that actually might make her irritated with you.
2. "What do you want for dinner?" "Oh I don't care."
Sometimes she might actually not care about where you go, but sometimes it's just a statement that attempts to see how much you actually listen to her when she talks about her favorite and least favorite foods. I hate most breakfast foods, so I just hope that with enough times I've ranted about my hatred for pancakes, you won't suggest IHOP.
3. "Oh that looks like it'd be interesting!"
This is an indicator that she probably wants to go do/see whatever you just talked about. This is also kind of a bait to see if you'd be willing to do things that she likes. I really don't 100% love football, but if the guy I'm talking to/dating wants to watch a game, you better believe I'll be there trash talking the refs and yelling at the kicker for missing the field goal.
4. "Wow, he got her the prettiest flowers."
Okay so I definitely have done this before. If I make it a point to tell my significant other about someone else's life and relationship, it probably means I wished he'd do something similar for me. I really could only get flowers once and be fine because they die anyway, but it's the thought that counts. Actually, just get her something she likes. I would probably be happier about getting a box combo from Cane's, so adjust according to the woman!
5. And the famous "What did you just say?"
Chances are, she probably heard what you said. And she didn't like it. You should quickly reevaluate how you just came across and sincerely apologize.
See guys, this is a shortened version on the guide to women. If you follow these guidelines, you and your lady might have a much less tense relationship.
Disclaimer: Not all women are the same so please adjust to suit the personality of your significant other.
