Remember when I showed you the first portion of our cake photoshoot awhile back?  Well I finally pulled up and resized the rest to share with you!  I wanted to make this post more interesting than just pictures of me and my hubs… and when I found a post on my old blog (which I found on MySpace), I knew it was perfect.  Something funny for your Friday…

“This is what women really mean when they say things:

1.) FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when they’re right, and you need to shut up.

2.) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means 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 with “Fine” (see #1).

4.) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!

5.) Loud Sigh: This is not actually a word but 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.

Read more for the rest of the list…

7.) Thanks: A woman is thanking you – do not question or faint. Just say you’re welcome.

8.) Whatever: Is a woman’s way of flipping the bird.

9.) Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has asked 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.”

So that is the “list” that I found on my old blog.  Now I get to share my thoughts on the matter.  What do you think?  Can you relate to any of these statements?

Now that you are done laughing, can you think of the damage that some of these statements would make?  While funny, these type of statements can have serious implications on your marriage.  Many of these statements are degrading towards men (implies that men cannot think on their own) and lead to major communication issues.

Matthew and I already have enough communication issues without adding my speaking “women” to the mix.  I have learned that it is really important that I mean what I say, and say what I mean.  I often fall into the “fine” category, instead of saying “I’m very upset and you hurt my feelings.”

What about you, do you find yourself saying any of these things?  Let me know in the comments!  And I hope you enjoyed the pictures as well!
