nine words women use

(1) Fine
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes
If she is getting dressed, this means a 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 in fine.

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

(5) Loud Sigh
This is actually a word, but is 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.

(7) Thanks
A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says "Thanks a lot" - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say, "you're welcome" . that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever
Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told 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.)

fears & preferences

"... So you can't always trust preferences to begin with. They can come out in a lot of places that are not so healthy:
- Fears of intimacy can attract you to detached people
- Fears of autonomy can attract you to controlling people
- Fears of being real can attract you to perfectionistic people
- Fears of your own sinfulness can attract you to 'bad' people
- Fears of your own neediness can attract you to weak, passive people
- unresolved family of origin issues can attract you to someone who is like a parent that you had trouble with
- And the list go on..

So, the warning here is to observe your preferences and value them, but be open to the fact that they may not be so good for you after all..."
