Relationship advice to the girls. Part IX

Ok, as my captive audience for the first two decades of your lives, you know that words are the most important things.  The placement of them, the tone of them, the creative lack of them.  Words are to be used carefully and clearly.  We don't mumble, and we say exactly what we mean all the time.  Not everyone follows these rules, though.  We call these people men.  Many of these creatures use a coded language that it takes time to sift through.  Some things are easy to decipher (roll over) and take only moments.  Others can take years, so I am going to give you a bit of a head start.

Stop nagging me = I heard you.  I know what you want me to do.  I know I should be doing it right now, but that would interfere with what I want to do.  So, I'm going to blame you reminding me to do x for my excuse to do y and z instead.

Just try it, you might like it = I will like it - you definitely won't.  But, I will talk you into doing it once and that's good enough for me.

She doesn't understand me like you do = I mean, you get that I deserve to do whatever with whoever whenever I want.  Right?

Don't overthink it = You're thinking again... You know I don't like that.  Just follow along blindly like a good girl.

Anything that starts with I'm only human = I don't have a good excuse for this, but you can't argue my place on the food chain.

I'm not ready/I just got out of a serious relationship/let's just be cool for now and see where it goes = this is about sex, so roll over.

I wasn't thinking anything = Yep, not a single thought going on in here...unless you'd like to roll over now?

There are others, of course.  But I can't give you all of their secrets.  And, no, not all men use codes.  Some use hand gestures, others try morse code, and there are a select few that speak clear and concise English.  Once you get the hang of your man's particular dialect, you can play along with them.  And, you know your mama raised you to win.
