By Sparklingjem.I think women waste a lot of time trying to figure out what men mean. I also think they usually miss the point. This is because women are far more complex beings who understand things on many different levels. They tend to over analyse what men say, looking for the hidden meaning and most of the time, there isn’t one. In fact often there isn’t even a deeper meaning. In the cases where there is a hidden meaning, women tend to overlook it because it’s not as hidden as they expect. So here are a few key phrases men use all the time and what they REALLY mean. (see Male Survival Guide: What she really means)
The ‘friends’ stage. He is still being incredibly charming, paying you compliments; having real conversations with you and making you feel special. He really seems different from all those other douchebags.
What he says: I just got out of a relationship and I don’t want to rush into anything.
What he means: Your attractiveness level is only about a 6 out of 10. My ex-girlfriend was about a 7.5 and I’m not going to downgrade. I’m not going to get into a relationship with you but I’d like to keep you around until I find someone who is at least an 8.5.
What he says: How about we talk about this over a bottle of wine and a movie sometime
What he means: Why don’t we sit in a darkened room, get you slightly drunk, and see how much of this stupid romantic comedy I have to watch before I make my move. My average is 30 to 40 minutes but you seem pretty easy so I might manage in under 15. If it takes me less than 7m 35.8 seconds, you’ll be my new record.
The ‘just started dating’ stage: He is still being relatively charming and agreeable. He is probably feeling a bit dazed because he can’t quite remember how he ended up here in the first place but he’s pretty sure there must have been a reason so he’d better make an effort.
What he says: No I didn't notice your secretary.
What he means: No, I didn’t notice your secretary; the really hot 5’6” one with waist length blond hair, D cup breasts, short red dress, fishnet stockings and belly ring just noticeable under the slightly stretchy fabric of her dress? Are you sure she was sitting next to us?
What he says: You looked very nice.
What he means: I didn’t actually notice what you looked like tonight because I was too busy staring up your secretary’s skirt. In fact I thought you left early. Although I’m sure whatever you were wearing you looked fine.
The ‘been dating a while’ stage. In the advanced stages of the relationship suddenly the charming, semi intelligent guy you started dating is neither charming nor intelligent on any level. Conversations have become strangely one sided and he has stopped using words with more than one syllable. This is likely because he has gone into ‘autopilot’; he has stopped listening and is putting the minimum effort necessary to maintain rudimentary communication. He also hasn’t moved off the couch for two weeks and is starting to smell like overly mature cheese.
What he says: Yes dear.
What he means: I have no idea what you just said but I am agreeing with you because firstly, you have my car keys and my credit card details, and secondly, you are yielding a potentially dangerous implement.
What he says: I’m listening.
What he means: I have no idea what you just said but you’re obviously not going to shut up for the next 17 hours so just keep talking.
What he says: Of Course.
What he means: I have no idea what you just said but I am agreeing with you because you’re getting ridiculously red in the face and you look like you are about to explode. You are also holding my baseball bat and the carving knife and I’m not sure you’re entirely sane.
What he says: If you want to.
What he means: I have no idea what you just said and I really couldn’t care less. You do whatever you want because you’re going to do it anyway and nothing I say will make any difference.
What he says: You’re probably right.
What he means: You are definitely wrong. However I can’t be bothered to argue with you right now because it’s that time of the month again and last month you went insane for no reason and we haven't seen the neighbours cat since.

With this whole male thought vs female thought, one is a genius the other prolifically foolish...hahah.
I have a theory about that.... ;-)
Yes but you hate man-kind you are obviously going....go with women being genius since you all are BFFs.
I do not hate mankind, I just recognise their inherent flaws and understand that womens brains work to a higher capacity.
Women are definitely a higher species. Definitely the more perfected species!! And I am either attracted to someone or not. No nonsense about scale of 8.5!!
That's because women are only attracted to 11's, not in looks but in raw persuasion. Guys gotta be perfect. You don't hear women talk about being on an A game.
Well I are right in some ways. Looks are not it there are some ugly ass dudes that are successful. Power, passion and true men are attractive to women!
