unlike women who often say one thing and mean another
Indeed ....its called womanese
Here are some good examples:
1) "I need some space"
Translation - she needs some permanent space ..adios buddy !
2) "I think its best if we just stay friends
Translation - I wouldn't go out with you even if the survival of the human species depended on it.
3) "We have an off and on relationship."
Translation - I keep him around until someone BETTER shows up. He is my insurance policy.
