Why Can't Women answer, with a simple YES or NO answer

insert your own reality check here:



but you MUST first post the length of your relationship.



me 32 years..........11,658 days of bliss.




Me: Do you want to buy a cord of firewood.
Her: Well yesterday, you said it was too expensive.

Me: I know, that was yesterday. they're actually good, but I've got another guy ready too.

Me: Would YOU like me to call in a order today??????????
Her: But what about the other guys?

Me: Doesn't matter, we buy from one or the other or both!!!???


Me: raising voice "simple question, (me shaking head yes or no) WOULD YOU , YES OR NO, WANT MEEEEEEE TOOOOOOOO CALLLLLLL TO BRINGGGGGGGG A LOADDDDDD IN TODAYYYYYYYYY. the guy is waiting for an answer.

Her. you're being rude.

Me: I'm headed out to the shop. lemme know.


Bestest buddy in the world, but they speak a non-binary logic not-logic at times.


I've got 3000 sq ft of shop
she has 2400 sq ft of house.

I win.



Post your length of relationship.

And lets make a list of cryptic female speak for us all to be able to translate.

Because we can't ask the right question?

[legion]

Ask open-ended questions, get one-word answers.

[asphaltgambler]

Been together 18 years, married for 10 this 31st. This is both our second marriage. Someone gave my wife the book " Men are from Mars/ Women from Venus" about halfway through her first. It helped her a lot. Me I already know that communicating to get a simple answer is challenging.

I didn't read a book, just years of experience dealing with a lot of relationships, a few toxic. I have more patience now in dealing with scenarios above....

31 years since we first met. I saw her across the room at the Pax River NAS O'Club and decided to introduce myself. Which I did.

We had a good twenty minutes of banter. I was charming and light, witty.

She, based on my no doubt deft raconteur, decided to tell me her name: Vivian Sinclair. Her phone number soon followed. She was a flight test engineer.

I had a flight the next day so I left early thinking there could be something about this woman.

The next day, after the flight, I told my co-pilot about Vivian. I was going to call her.

"Shortish, brown hair, cute as two cute things, takes no ****ake, flight test engineer at Man Flight"?

Yep.

"Her name isn't Vivian, you stupid Hump..."

And so it began.

BTW, yes or no assumes there is a point they are trying to make. Learn to exist in the...

We met 45 years ago on our first week of freshman year. Married for 38 years. Yes or no answers are few and far between. She's more about figuring out why I asked a question rather than actually answering it.

But, to quote Emerson, Lake and Palmer: Still, she turns me on.

[KFC911]

Longest relationship... 9 yrs.

Just because...that's why

[Bill Douglas]

15 years, it seems a lot longer...

When driving.

Her "Why are you so angry, that driver didn't do anything wrong."

Me "I'm not angry, I'm having a good time."

[sammyg2]

going on 27 years. I no longer ask questions.
if she wants me to know, she'll tell me


Or is it 28 years? cain't remember.

EDIT it'll be 29 years in April. Tempus fuggetaboutit


BTW the first time I saw her from across the room I pointed her out to my best friend and told him, "That's the one. I'm gonna marry that girl".
He replied by reminding me that I was full of **** but a few years later it happened.

31 years....She will mention something in passing (while walking the other direction) from 3 rooms away, and then get mad at me for not hearing her.

[pwd72s]

Married 44 years. Some questions simply have no answer. This was one of them.

Your call sign wouldn't happen to be Maverick, would it?

You're asking us?

27 years of marriage.

I fall asleep quickly. When it is time to go to sleep, I kiss her goodnight, roll over and I am ready to sleep. She will tell me a few chores I need to get done soon, or mention we are supposed to go see her mom next week. Then she gets mad that I have no recollection of her telling me that, likely because I was asleep.

Married 36 years. I simply accept the fact that a different chromosome structure results in different languages. The "XX" tends to be very nuanced, while the "XY" is far more direct and unambiguous.

Firewood? I would order the wood as needed and tell her when to expect delivery. I stack, carry, split, and stoke 100% of the firewood around here so it is my gig, not hers. No reason to introduce her into the decision tree just as there is no reason for her to run all her clothing/shoe purchases by me for authorization. We each have responsibilities and a budget to work with, just get on with it and let sleeping dogs lie.

Man Rep.

Length of relationship - 27 years.

Honestly? I don't even know why you asked this question... Yesterday you apparently told her that the wood was too expensive (meaning that the answer was NO as it was too expensive). So if the parameters have not changed, you already had your answer. The only reason to ask the same question multiple times is that you want a DIFFERENT answer than you already had...

I know - venus...mars...blah blah blah!

[stevej37]

A perfect place (car forum) to ask a question like this.

[sugarwood]

Trick question.
You don't ask.
You simply order the firewood.

[RANDY P]

They have to question every single thing you utter, answer questions with more questions.

Drives me ape ****.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

What does this sentence mean?

Me: I know, that was yesterday. they're actually good, but I've got another guy ready too.

I can't make sense of it. Yesterday was too expensive.

What is actually good? Is the other guy the same price as the first guy that was too expensive?
