You might be confused by some of the things men say.
That can lead to misunderstandings in the relationship. So, to help you interpret what you may think is a secret language men use, here are ten things guys say and their actual meanings.
I Love a Woman Who Speaks Her Mind
“They don’t want a woman that actually speaks her mind. They want a woman that says witty, sassy things that add to her charisma while taking care not to be actually subversive or controversial. Those are very different things.”
“Be careful with what you say. Sass your reply up, and men will love you for it. Oh…you just got zinged, dude!”
I Like a Woman With a Sense of Humor
“I want a woman who finds ALL my toddler antics, sarcasm & rapey commentary delightful. Must be willing to giggle off any inappropriate, insensitive, or downright cruel comment the moment I declare them ‘jokes.’”
“Men can be so immature at times. They want to have you massage their ego when they pull a prank only a 5-year-old would love.”
I Want an Intelligent Woman
“I want a smart woman but not in any way that challenges me even nicely or slightly.”
“Some men’s egos tremble when a woman is smarter than them.”
Be Domineering
“I wish you were more dominant / more of a strong, independent woman.”
“Feels like, ‘I wish you were more like this fantasy I have in my head instead of a real person trying to cooperate with me in a partnership.’”
“This means: Please take control, but don’t threaten my manhood. I’m still the one that is in control of the relationship. Oh…and try not to be independent. My masculinity is fragile.”
Don’t Be After My Money
“I want a woman who’s not a gold digger, who has a career and is smart and independent.”
“Okay, I’ll buy you that nice new designer handbag you saw at the shop. Oh, after you come home from work, I need you to cook my dinner and clean up this place. It’s a hovel.”
Be Cool, Not Manly
“I like cool girls who are one of the guys.”
“I like lesbians, but I’m in denial about the fact that she won’t want to be intimate with me.”
“You are looking for a girl who knows how to mix in with the guys. Yet, deep down in your soul, you realize some one-on-one time isn’t going to happen.”
Respect My Time
“I like women who don’t put any demands on my time but are available when I want/need them.”
“When I want some companionship, you need to come running the moment I call/text you.”
“Yes, some men can be that needy and self-centered.”
You Have an Appetite
“I like a woman who can eat!”
“The man wants a woman who isn’t shy about eating big. Yet they don’t want you to become a big woman.”
“Yep, it’s a balance between having a ferocious appetite and remaining physically slender.”
It’s Game Time
“I want a girl who likes video games.”
“I don’t talk much unless it’s about video games. If you’re cool with that, then we could be a couple.”
I Didn’t Mean To
“I made a mistake!”
“This means the guy shouldn’t have been getting it on with your sister/best friend. Then he apologizes and promises not to do it again. Next thing you know is that he is eyeing up that cute coworker of yours.”
There you have it. Ten things guys say and the hidden meaning behind the words. So, next time the man in your life utters one of these lines, you can give him a sly, knowing smile. You know what he’s implying.
