what?

what? when a woman says "what", it's not because she didn't hear you. she's simply giving you a few seconds to reconsider. not my quote but it made me laugh and so i offer it here for discussion. me, i tend to be less oblique. i usually say something like "you're joking, right?" or "tell me you didn't just say that". but i suppose there are women more polite than i am who prefer to leave some wiggle room. are you one of those women...how's that working out for you? last week i was in the last minutes of finishing a grant proposal for some housing units and a colleague called and said le's collaborate on this proposal and ask for more units and you can be the service provider for all of them. not a bad deal and more units for the community but the thing was they hadn't written anything yet. and the grant was due in two days. so basically i was going to give them all my work and potentially lose the grant if their portion didn't float. i said how about this - we sign an MOU and say we're partners but we each handle the units ourselves. the service piece can be done by my agency but the units are separate. and the grants go in separately. my grant made it through the door on time. theirs didn't. what? you mean i do all the work and you get a freebie? what? you mean you want a BJ but you refuse to go down on a woman? what? you mean you want to move in together? is that because you love me or because your mother is kicking your unemployed ass out of her house? what? think carefully before answering grins You cannot conceive the many without the one. |

oui-oui... "when a woman says "what", it's not because she didn't hear you. she's simply giving you a few seconds to reconsider." That's the problem with some women--they just can't take in all that matter-of-factness; at least, not from a man--certainly not without inquisitioning his ass... "Do you really mean that? Or do you really mean something else--something more like this (blah--blah--blah)?" It ain't so much that they're givin' a man another chance as... they're givin' him his ONLY chance--to rescind that statement of matter-of-factness... and to provide one that is more acceptable... to her--lest he do without that quarterly BJ. to wit: "Hey, Baby--how's 'bout a BJ?"  "what? you mean i do all the work and you get a freebie?"  "No, Baby! I'm more than willin' to go down on you, too! Honest."  "What?"  "I mean... sorry--(I'm such a fuckin' dickhead.) What I really meant to say was... 'How's 'bout we watch Gone With The Wind?"  Now--See how the inquisitioning of that matter-of-factness puts a damper on that quarterly boner? Solar...

 You are awesome! Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety. Other women cloy The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry Where most she satisfies. For vilest things Become themselves in her, that the holy priests Bless her when she is riggish. ~~ from Antony & Cleopatra

Ah, the eternal She Said, HE Heard (or visa-versa) Theoretically, straight forward conversation is simple and easy. I sure did get all tangled up in my shorts though, when my Ex used to start to play the she-heard game. Good for you & your agency, We. I won't give away my workproduct either. Why is it people think that they can simply schmooze a freebie? As to going down, WE, well for me it is a joy you'd be sharing with me, should that opportunity every occur. Nothing like helping a friend enjoy themself! Chas

 Well said!

I have a habit of saying "What?" to give myself time to think about what someone said if I need to. But I think that question about the grant was easy: I've never seen more people trying to get me to do their work for them than these days, and I've had enough of it. Elevate me...

@ WE - Sometimes when a woman says "What?", it's simply because she is hard-o-hearin'. My 87 year-old mother was that way and so I bought her some hearing aids. So, WE, unless you want some man to buy you a couple hearing aids, don't say "What?" too often. @ Solar - You're so right about us men folk not likin' to have our "asses inquisitioned". Yep, we'd much prefer to have our asses REQUISITIONED for a three-day one-night stand!

I'm one of those who answers questions with questions. So, I say what? quite often as well as "Are you kidding?" You gave him a great response and didn't allow him to take a free ride on your skirt-tails. True collaboration means all parties work and contribute. Never ignore those who care for you you will have lost diamonds while you were collecting stones

I'm fairly blunt so tend not to be so polite. I think that has came along with age, In my tutorial group there's a young guy who is trying to charm some of the other females students to do his work for him...It's obvious to me, not so it seems to the more giggly girls.. Another older woman and I just rolled our eyes at him. These are the Aims and Objectives. Please read. of the group, Bloggers United! which I moderate. And a link to a post about my home town, Glasgow ,I hope you enjoy it!

Love the quote and love your savvy dealing with the co-proposer. Nice job!

Lol! In the UK a variant is, "You what?" warm xx

As I've aged, my mouth has become more loose...I never used "cuss" words before...now, my response might be, "What the fuck did you just say? Am I hearing right, you better repeat that to me again." Gives them a chance to swallow hard and think real fast before I come back with something real nice to say. LOL
