WORDS MEN SAY ... and what they 'really' mean !!!



Once again let's keep an open mind!
Of course this kind of humour brings up the topic 
of stereotypes of men and women.
But sometimes can we also be politically 'uncorrect'.
The key word here is SOMETIMES,
so we can laugh at ourselves.
If you don't agree, let me know!
Here goes:
OK!
He didn't actually hear anything you said, but he's learned that if he doesn't say something when you talk, you'll keep talking.

Five Minutes ...
Somewhere between "in a little while" and "the end of time". Never actually means five minutes unless you gave that as a time limit, in which case it means five minutes, timed to the closest millisecond.
Of Course I Love You for You!
He loves you for your body. If that goes, so will he.

Is it OK if I...?
He's already done it, so you may as well approve.

Loud Sigh
Although not actually a word, the loud sigh accompanies the realization that he's going to have to figure out a way to undo something he's already done in the hopes that you'd approve.

He forgot what he was going to say, most likely because he was distracted by the subtle ...


*** Note "Joking aside" (blague à part)
Below you will find a  link to read about Alison Armstrong. She is a relationship expert and she is the person being interviewed in the sound bite embedded in the title. You can read some of her articles or find the titles to the books she has written.
You can also go on YouTube and enter her name. There are a few videos you can listen to. She has a very 'touching' approach towards explaining men's behaviour. It is a very enlightening subject for women.
