Sorry, you thought you knew all about us... Turns out we have a different language.

The Woman to English Translation Dictionary For Men
Chie Alemán

When you were in elementary school, you sat through English classes. You learned new words and learned that some words, though sometimes spelt the same, have VERY different meaning.

Unfortunately for you, they didn't teach you squat about girl talk.

Guys, here's a translation for you on some of our favorite phrases:

1. "I'm fine"

Means she's not fine.

This is the oldest one in the book. When we say "I'm fine," it doesn't mean we're fine, it means, "oh boy you better fix what just happened," or "come bring me chocolate ice cream and a hug... NOW."

2. "I guess..."

MEANS HELL NO.

"Want to go see Star Wars on our romantic date tonight? Can you drive?" "I guess..." HELL NO.

3. "K"

Means you're in huge trouble.

When a girl responds with "K," she's not trying to be cute. She's not trying to be all mysterious and aloof. She's pissed.

4. "Yup"


reference entry #2 or 3

5. *Read Receipt* No response

Means holy cow she's probably thrown her phone at the wall by now.

This is the most dangerous of all responses, none at all. You know you've screwed up when there is nothing she has to say.

6. "Leave me alone"

Means if you bring her food and tell her she's pretty you'll earn major boyfriend points.

7. "You pick"

Means.... YOU PICK.

When men gives women the option on where to go, what to do, where to eat, and they respond "you pick," they're not being cute... just pick.

8. "I mean, it's your choice"

Means "there's one option, so you have no choice."

9. "I don't feel too hot today"

Means one of two things: either she is actually physically ill, or she wants you to tell her she's pretty

10. "I don't want to talk about it"


Means that she wants to talk about it VERY BADLY.


Now unfortunately for you, this list doesn't cover everything. But these are the most commonly used phrases. Now you'll be prepared when you encounter one.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
