Question: What is the key to understanding communication with women?

"I'll take relationships for 500, Alex."

"It's not about the money."

I dunno, I'm pretty sure using the runny blueberry jam instead of the rasberry jam really does make me an inconsiderate as###le

Funny, that was the first thing that popped into my head too...

It's not you, it's ME

$500? That should only be a $100 answer

It's not the same to talk of bulls as to be in the bullring. -Spanish proverb.

Women talk, understanding is optional.

[svandamme]

whenever they are upset, keep repeating "it's not your fault"
It drives em nuts, they can't argue with it, they can't scream that your wrong, they can't calm down and simply agree with you.. It's beautiful

just keep repeating it in a calm , soothing voice..

it's ok... it's not your fault

Then watch as the programming starts throwing internal exception errors..
If you listen carefully, you might even hear the chips overheating and electrically crack pop fizzle...

This is why it is better to rent than to own.

[M.D. Holloway]

true dat - cost of ownership far exceeds a lease albeit temporary...better yet, learn to live without and live longer and wiser!

A man hears nothing a woman says, and a woman hears everything a man says.

If they say it's not you and it's them, it really is you.


I've been married 18 years and the only thing I've figured out is not to argue with them. Never fight back. Ever!
There is nothing I could ever say back that would get to her as much as just ignoring her.
When she used to get on a rant I would just keep doing whatever it was I was doing and act as if she wasn't even in the room. Invisible.

Oh man does she hate that. Big time.
She's gotten to the point where she doesn't get mad at me anymore, it's just not worth it.

the only downside to that strategy is when you pretend she isn't there, she might make that a reality and leave.
But hey, even that's better than having her beotch at you, right?

That's been my approach. I'm not hot headed. If I've done something wrong I offer a sincere apology right away. If I haven't ... I just keep doing what I'm doing.
