Words Women Use While Arguing
Ever had an argument with a woman? You’d find that more often than not, her vocabulary has a few words that don’t really make sense, but is used none the less. Here we talk about those obnoxious words that women use repeatedly, and how annoying it can get.
Ever found yourself in the middle of a conversation with your woman which eventually turns into blood curdling calls, yells and screams, or to put it simply, have you got into an argument recently? When men argue with women, however versatile they appear to be, there are a few statements that are universal, and ones that can piss a man off a lot more than calming him down. Check these frustrating liners that women all over the world love using.
“Whateva…”
Women use this so often, it’s confusing to know whether it’s being used in jest or in mock retaliation, but when it’s used in a battle, it means only one thing. “… Uuuuhhh. .. what does that mean?” When women lose focus or are on the losing side, this statement is the best way to extricate themselves out without making it look like they’re losing.
“I’m sorry…” a.ka. “No offence, but…”
Girls usually say this when they think they’re being clever. It’s a phrase derived from the expression people use when they’re breaking some bad news to an old friend, but women use the phrase like it’s a blunt object, hammering their square insult through your round psyche. “I’m sorry, but you’re a moron.” “No offence, but you’re such an asshole!” Now what’s so clever about trying to behave like she’s really sorry when she’s only going to slide down in a split, and box your groins with another stupid statement? What I think about these wise cracks, if women want to say something, they should just say it!
“Could you repeat that?!”
Aargh! How many times have we heard our women asking us this insanely ridiculous question, especially when they have their arms on their hips and mouth every single word like a damn mime artist! It’s annoying, because she’s obviously heard the whole thing. But she’s just biding her time because she, of course, has no idea what to fire back, or she’s just completely lost it! And the most frustrating part of it all, women think they’re in command when they say this. Sheesh!
“Don’t make me cry…”
The death blow! This is where it all ends. You raise your white jocks up and wave it in peace. It doesn’t matter if she’s just crashed the car into a petrol bunk, or if she drove over you as you were checking the fuel leak under the car, in between the wheels. It could start off as an argument, but when she sees no way out, rather than accept at first, she decides to play crying games. But you know what, of all these things women do, this is one that’s right there at the top for me. I can’t see a woman cry, and even if she was trying to murder me, I’m guessing I’d still suck up myself and apologize!
“May or may not be!”
WTF? Seriously, is that even a statement? And what’s that supposed to mean? I don’t know? Ever hear your woman say “that may or may not be the case,” as if there’s some hidden third possibility that we weren’t aware of? Thanks for pointing out the only two possibilities in the universe, woman! But what’s the point of that statement anyways? Or is it because women just don’t know how to zip up when they don’t know what to say?
“That’s just your opinion!”
Everyone already knows it’s my opinion by virtue of the fact that I said it, no need to restate the obvious, dodo. This one pisses me off just thinking about it. Now what is the relevance of that statement? When a guy says, “Babe, this food is quite bad really…” are you supposed to shut up when she says, “That’s just your opinion!” Of course, it is, you’re the one who’s eating it, isn’t it? This is just a filler that’s used as a retort with no significant meaning whatsoever!
“You have to be one to know one!”
When you’re arguing with your woman about the huge shopping bills, the wisest thing she may come up with is, “I’m a woman, dammit! You have to be one to know one!” Now, I’m sorry, but does that make sense? Or does that mean I can take women home, because I’ve got testosterone pumping in my blood which she obviously can’t understand, or can I burp and fart just because I like to? Of course not, so why are we even talking about this wise comment!

A woman may cry out of frustration, tiredness, and many other reasons than “deciding to play a game.” This shallow remark only conditions men to think they are being manipulated and it continues adversarial communication.
The shopping thing saying “because I am a woman” is stupid, I agree,. Many women see too many ads, and men expect women, even if they earn much less, to be well dressed, made up, soft skin etc. Women are hearing all the time that men are “visual” (now it is coming out women are too, when they are allowed to be) so women are always under pressure to be this image. Men are coming more under pressure in this regard, but nothing like what society does to women. Who gains, the advertisers and sellers of these products to women.
My favorite way to end an argument is to just tell him that there are some things that we will have to agree to disagree on. No offense, but some fights are worth winning, but most over trivial crap really are not.
The biggest problem with most women is that they expect husbands and boyfriends to read their minds, because their mommy and daddy did when they were growing up, by always appearing to understand what their little girls would need to make them feel better. Of course they knew, they raised the girl.
What most women and girls don’t get, is that they expect those guys who have only known them for a few months to a few years to be just like their parents in understanding what will make them happy. They aren’t, and so it will never happen. They have to learn guy speak. Tell the dude in plain simple direct statements what you want and want you mean. Don’t hint. Don’t scream. Don’t yell. It took me raising two sons, and living with one husband, and various other male relatives to understand how to communicate with men. Unforturnately, they still don’t try to always understand me. Oh, well, I can’t win them all.
You know, I don’t think I’ve ever used those while I’m arguing with someone.
All of those tactics are just different forms of “Games”. Instead of discussing the problem and reaching a solution, they’re going for the “Win”. ie. power.
I like this. In fact, I am going to place it on my blog (giving a link back to your site, of course) so it can reach even more people.
Be well, and Live Unleashed!

I lived with my ex-girlfriend for seven years before I left her. I left her because of her ever-increasing need to argue with me about nothing.
We must have had about 400-500 arguments in that time. She couldn’t argue properly, couldn’t debate a point, just came out with stupid, meaningless statements to make me think she was in the right when she wasn’t.
But I never once heard her say any of those things you’ve written about.
