What I say vs what I mean
A few people, (men obviously) have said to me recently that women never really say what they mean. I didn’t think this was a problem specific to women. I mean I’ve met men that expect you to be able to fucking mind read. I can’t speak for any other woman but my needs are basic – cuddles, orgasms, food, and chats – that’s pretty much it. Still, I suppose I’m a bit indirect. Still apparently women speak this crazy code that men just can’t understand. I suppose pleading ignorance makes it easier than actually learning how vaginas work though, eh? Or just saying we’re crazy is easier than admitting that you’re actually just a lazy shit, ha?
Perhaps this reference chart can help you decipher the mystical female language that yiz are clearly too lazy to work out yisserselves (but I mean I’m only one woman):
WHAT I SAY:
I’m not angry with you
WHAT I MEAN:
I’m not angry with you
WHAT I SAY:
Is that right, yeah?
WHAT I MEAN:
Go fuck yourself, you’re so wrong
WHAT I SAY:
Are you happy?
WHAT I MEAN:
Am I happy?
WHAT I SAY:
What do you think?
WHAT I MEAN:
Make this decision please
WHAT I SAY:
Meh
WHAT I MEAN:
Don’t push this issue
WHAT I SAY:
[Blows air like a horse from lips]
WHAT I MEAN:
I thought we weren’t pushing this issue.
WHAT I SAY:
I’m getting narky
WHAT I MEAN:
You’re pissing me off. Stop.
WHAT I SAY:
It doesn’t matter
WHAT I MEAN:
I think if we discussed this either we’ll end up fighting or you can’t really help
WHAT I SAY:
State of ya
WHAT I MEAN:
You’re adorable
WHAT I SAY:
Sorry I missed your call I was in the shower.
WHAT I MEAN:
I was staring at my phone wondering why you rang.

Prick
WHAT I MEAN:
Awwwwwww
WHAT I SAY:
Why bother even saying that?
WHAT I MEAN:
I didn’t ask for your opinion
WHAT I SAY:
I’m crazy
WHAT I MEAN:
I have a tendency to self- sabotage things because people are turds and death awaits us all anyway

[….] You’re OK, like
WHAT I MEAN:
Ah, I probably have proper feels
WHAT I SAY:
I couldn’t sleep
WHAT I MEAN:
I am a bag of anxiety
WHAT I SAY:
I heard you before
WHAT I MEAN:
Please do not repeat this story again
WHAT I SAY:
Ah, I don’t want to talk about [insert specific issue]
WHAT I MEAN:
I can only say nice things so I need to just not talk about it.
WHAT I SAY:
[Shrieking noise]
WHAT I MEAN:
DID YOU JUST TELL ME I WAS OVERREACTING?!
WHAT I SAY:
Don’t be a sap
WHAT I MEAN:
Cop on like.
WHAT I SAY:
No
WHAT I MEAN:
No
WHAT I SAY:
Yes
WHAT I MEAN:
Yes
WHAT I SAY:
Maybe
WHAT I MEAN:
No, unless you make it really easy for me or you really want to do it.
WHAT I SAY:
Go on, teach me something.
WHAT I MEAN:
I LOVE BEING PATRONISED
WHAT I SAY:
I’m crazy
WHAT I MEAN:
I’m just warning you I have lots of feelings so you may have to reassure me a lot to calm me the fuck down.
WHAT I SAY:
I know.
WHAT I MEAN:
Why are you explaining this again?
WHAT I SAY:
Please stop talking.
WHAT I MEAN:
I can’t hear myself think.
WHAT I SAY:
Are you annoyed with me?
WHAT I MEAN:
I haven’t decided if I’m annoyed yet but your reaction will dictate the outcome.
WHAT I SAY:
I’m a catch!
WHAT I MEAN:
I’m not a catch – I was being sarcastic.
WHAT I SAY:
I’m a bit overwhelmed
WHAT I MEAN:
I’m going to have a breakdown.

It’s fine.
WHAT I MEAN:
Seriously, it’s all good like.

BLEURGH
WHAT I MEAN:
Give me a hug or something.
WHAT I SAY:
I’ll be back in a while
WHAT I MEAN:
Going to have a poop.
WHAT I SAY:
My tummy isn’t well.
WHAT I MEAN:
I had the plops.
WHAT I SAY:
[Stares at something I can’t do]
WHAT I MEAN:
Won’t ask for help but will stare at it till someone else offers.
WHAT I SAY:
Don’t
WHAT I MEAN:
If you touch me again… don’t…just don’t..
WHAT I SAY:
Attention!
WHAT I MEAN:
Pet me!
WHAT I SAY:
OK… (wary face)
WHAT I MEAN:
What are you playing at? Is this a trap?
I realise now that I may be like a cat. Yup, I’m a cat. I’m not even a woman so perhaps this isn’t applicable to other women at all then. Sorry for wasting your time – I guess you’ll never learn how women work now.
