Translating Woman's Speak

There have been many books written throughout the years about the differences between men and women. They all extol their reasons for the apparent differences between the sexes. Men are from this planet, while women come from another; women are emotional in nature, while men are rooted in the mental realm etc.



As a guy who has been studying the female of the species for over thirty years, I have found the major difference between the sexes. Women speak a different language than men. It sounds simple but that is the major difference between the sexes.



For the male readers out there who have not mastered “woman speak” I will list a number of woman speak phrases, and then translate them for you. It is my hope that I may be able to spare many of my fellow guys any more angst than they have already been through.



1) “I like love handles on a guy. It gives me something to hold on to.”
Translation: I would love you to have the abs, and butt of Brad Pitt, but I don’t want to hurt your feelings.



2) “You’re kind of cute”
Translation: I have my beer goggles on, I haven’t had a man in six months, it’s getting late, and I’m actually considering you.



3) “I have a headache”
Translation: It is always about YOU. Where were you last Friday when I was in the mood and you got too drunk to perform!



4) “Sorry I didn’t get you a birthday card, but I am not a card person”
Translation: I am not into giving cards, however you better remember to give me a card on every special holiday, event, and Valentines Day; or I will rag on you for two weeks after the missed event, and for two weeks prior to next year’s.



5) “Do I look fat in this?”
Translation: I want you to tell me how thin, and sexy I still am.



6) “She has fake boobs!”
Translation: Why are you looking at her?!



7) “I normally don’t do this”
Translation: You are going to get lucky tonight.



8) “If you touch that air conditioner, I will kill you!”
Translation: I am having a hot flash, and I will kill you if you try to turn down the air conditioner.



9) “I don’t feel like sex tonight”
Translation: I want you to take me to dinner, a movie, and out for a couple of drinks; maybe I’ll change my mind.



10) “I think I am a very level headed woman”
Translation: I am crazier than a shit house rat, and I make Amy Winehouse look like Mother Teresa.



11) “Tequila makes my clothes fall off”
Translation: If you want any action tonight, buy me a tequila!



12) “I don’t think you appreciate me”
Translation: Wine me, and dine me, you slug!






I am currently working on my Guy to Lady; and Lady to Guy dictionary. I know this will be a very valuable tool for both sexes.

Hi Ashley! I mentioned in the post that I have been studying the female of the species for 30 yrs. After two marriages, one daughter, and many girl friends I finally mastered their language. Thank you for confirming that I am right. I heart you.

PS You are in the minority of women about cards.

I always love drinking with my wife because of this fact. It's the only time she treats me like a boyfriend. hehe.

Hi Ryhen! This is something all married guys have learned, the problem is to score before they get too drunk.

Hi Ashley, it is not necessary to reciprocate, it is enough that you spend the time to read my articles, and make comments. I do appreciate that. I merely wanted to open the eyes of all the guys drooling over you that you can indeed write.

YOU are the only one that seems to notice Mikey!

No really that's my next on my goddamn list of 90000000 things to do, is review my FAV blogs on BC.

Ashley I know how it is to be a young parent with never any time for yourself. Now I am a old parent, but I still have no real time cause Its expensive living here in paradise. Its tough just trying to find some time to write, let alone read others. You have to be real good to get me to read you, and you are.
