Yes/No/Maybe

Today, I was approached by a man who wailed;

Why issit when women say YES it really means NO?!
Why issit when women say NO it really means YES?!

Why can't women give bloody straight answers??!
(Grumble..grumble..grumble..)

Ahh~ The mysteries of the female mind..

Actually dear gentle readers, the female mind ain't as complicated as it seems. Just put in a little logic and due notice on little things such as her body language and her tone of voice, and Hey Presto! You'll find out what she Really means.

But be warned! You men may not like the truth.


Confused?? Well, it'll be my pleasure to explain it in excruciating detail. Oh, and not to worry on the credibility of my answers.. All my explanations shall be backed-up by cases ;)


Reasons why women do not say what they really mean;

1. We do not want to hurt the male's gentle -albeit gigantic- ego.
   
   Ladies, we walk a very delicate tight rope. Most of the time, to say what we really mean requires us to say that the male (in one way or the other) is WRONG. *Sigh* And we all know how tedious a task that is.. The darn fact is, most men do not like to be proven wrong- Especially by the fairer sex. Therefore, most women prefer to just let it go and give up before the proverbial volcano explodes-although you STILL do not agree with him.
   
   Case 1**:
   A couple is getting ready to go out for dinner. They are late. The male- inspired by the new Dragon Ball movie, decides to sport the 'Goku' hairstyle. He has been a great fan since his childhood and declares the show/manga (and all it's characters- including the old man in the tortoise shell) as cooler then cool. The female knows that he genuinely thinks that it's cool, although he DOES look like an electrified hairy monkey. So when he asks her what she thinks of the style, she opts for preserving his ego (and also a potentially long dispute over how cool Goku is) and says "Yes, it's nice". See my point?
   
   
2. We do not want to portray ourselves as (a) Control Queens, (b) Gold Diggers, (c) Demanding or (d) All of the above.
   
   This usually applies to monetary and property matters. The males are said to be the 'one who wears the pants' in a relationship and that includes sorting out the couple's accounts- or lack thereof. For some odd reason, women fear that the males might categorize them in the above categories if they reveal their material needs. Please note that sometimes the females might be overly paranoid (I'm being impartial here). However, most males tend to subconsciously have negative feelings when pressured into providing more than what they had expected.
   
   Case 2**:
   When looking for a potential house- and actually finding one within their needs, the man may ask;
   Man: So, what do you think of the house?
   (What the women really thinks: The kitchen is too small and why on earth is the master bedroom window facing a goddamn wall??) But..
   Woman: Yes, It's nice.
   They buy the house, end of story. BUT had she said what she really felt, wouldn't the words stated above pop into mind??
   
   
3. We expect the males to actually UNDERSTAND what we really mean.
   
   Ahh.. Well, this point may be purely our fault. Because really! What ninnyhead expects males to understand what she saying 100% of the time?? Ladies, THIS may be your downfall. If it is EXTREMELY important, DO NOT hesitate on spelling out what you think!
   
   Case 3**:
   Man: Syg, may I go drag racing tonight?
   Woman: (Long pause) Sure, It's up to you. (Voice short and crisp)
   So the man goes out and does cool Tokyo drift moves. But suddenly!! He loses control and crashes into a log. He'd dislocated his shoulders. When he calls the woman from the emergency room, she doesn't pick up. Clearly, dia sudah merajuk~ And you wonder, why la wanna merajuk?? She said she was fine with him racing. Ayoo bro, Look at your shoulder la. Si Bongok.

BUT not all Males are like so. There ARE a minority of bearable men out there who can actually understand women- if not all of the time, then at least most. Ladies, if you are in possession of one, shackle him down. NOW!
