Ever found yourself wondering what your male partner really means when he says "I'm busy" or "Whatever you want"?
Newsflash: it's rarely what he actually says, but...what he meant is pretty much basic English language. very simple. no offense, men, you know it's true. From the seemingly supportive "You look great in anything" to the frustratingly vague "I'll do it later", men often speak their own secret language. From the hilarious to the hair-pulling, we're exposing the truth behind common male phrases.
In this post, we're cracking the code. Here's the ultimate guide to decoding male speak – so you can finally understand what he REALLY means:
- "Uh huh, yeah" = I wasn't listening and have no idea what you said
- "I'm busy" = I'm too lazy to get up
- "You look great in anything" = That outfit is questionable
- "I'll do it later" = It's never getting done, and I don't even know what you asked me to do
- "no, you don't look fat...you look great!" - I love you, and I didn't even look at you
- "I'm tired" = I don't want to talk/about that topic, plus...I don't know what you said
- "Whatever you want" = Pick already, I don't care...plus, I didn't listen to the options
- "I love you too" = I heard you say it first, but yeah, I don't want to get in trouble
- "of course she's not prettier than you" - she might be, you'll never know, I don't want to get in trouble
- "I'm thinking about it" = No, I've already decided against it...or...I have no idea what you asked
- "You're overreacting" = You're right, but I won't admit it, also I would react the same or worse
- "It's not a big deal" = It's a huge deal, but I'm downplaying it, I don't want to fight
- "I need space" = I need space from YOU, you ask too much of me
- "That's interesting" = That's boring me to tears so I have no idea what you said
- "You're beautiful inside and out" ...or..."you're sexy no matter the size" = You've gained weight, but I don't want to fight
- "I forgot" = It wasn't a priority to me, plus, I didn't even listen to what I was supposed to do
- "We'll talk about it tomorrow" = We're never talking about this again, and if you bring it up again, i'll get mad
Another key phrase that often leaves women scratching their heads is "It's fine." Spoiler alert: it's usually not fine. Whether it's used in response to a question about dinner, plans, or even a disagreement, "It's fine" often serves as a placeholder for avoiding deeper conversation or conflict. Decoding this one requires context and a bit of patience, but rest assured, it rarely means everything is perfectly okay.
so Did you notice a common theme, here?! Of course you did, you're a woman. He. doesn't. listen. and. likely. never. will. unless you take some very careful steps to gain his very simple attention.
next time, men, don't read....ladies, we'll talk about what to do about the fact that 99% of the time, your male partner hasn't heard a word you said. if you play your cards right, this could be used to your advantage! use what nature gave you (your brain) and use it to fight evil (men)--just kidding. or was I?!Ha. anyway, thanks for stopping by, both men and women. all in good fun. until next time...
