I don't get it. Why lie? Why not just tell the guy how you truly feel?
Girls, when a guy asks if you're mad at him...
I don't get it. Why lie? Why not just tell the guy how you truly feel?
Now girls don't often realize how obvious their anger is to the universe. I used to get really quiet when I was trying to regroup and regain my composure. My "it guy" in college was always great at picking up on when I was feeling tense and would always ask me what was up. I'd try to push the horrible choking feeling back, look at him, smile and say "Nothing." After all, I liked him and I wasn't mad AT HIM. He'd snort, grin and look sideways at me. "I know that 'nothing'. You're not fooling anyone." Suddenly, the other guys hanging out with us -- one of whom was usually just there because he was interested in me -- would start fussing. My friend would just grin further, knowing that fussing would only make me clam up more and that all I wanted was a few seconds of peace and quiet. I hung back that night and when he hung back with him I shoved him in the arm for saying anything, which only made him grin, chuckle and duck his head. Bastard. (*Grin.) He'd always keep coaxing and ultimately get the story out of me in a few days.
I always thought it was amazing he picked up on it, but one day he actually explained what I looked like when I was upset by something, and explained that it's a guy's reflex to some check on his friend.
I know... Don't say it. NOBODY who knows either of us ever believes that we never actually got together. Years later we still bicker this way then step away to avoid what would be definite heat. He doesn't want a committed relationship, and I need a committed relationship.
How does this relate to you? Bottom line is that if you're picking up on her signals, you're probably feeling some very intense connection with her and watching her closely enough to try to read her. If she says "Nothing." but responds to coaxing it's because she trusts you but doesn't want to burden you with all her junk. We learn early-on that guys don't like to be plagued with concerns and prefer a self-sufficient girl. When the guy's protective/attentive antennae perk up it's often confusing to the girl as that sort of thing is supposed to be reserved for the fella's "it girl"... OH. (It finally dawns on her that you're actually interested in hearing her stories, for better or worse. Hmm.)
Next? Once she gets used to confiding in you, you'd have opened the emotional floodgates. I promise that one day you'll miss the times when she was able to bite her tongue and just go about her business...
Right now I am mad as hell with one guy and he knows it, but when he asks I say NO!
WHY? …so, let me explain…it’s to avoid confrontation and an argument between us or with others getting involved.
It’s better this way, think positive about it and thank her for not being angry, it will wear off.
It’s not a bad lie, it’s a white lie, which means it’s purely innocent due to respect.
If you stay negative about it and become annoying by constantly asking her if she is still mad, you never going to make peace.
So, just forget about it, go with the flow and let her calm down.
:)
Robotic, Smile and the world Smiles with you. :)
Also, it's nice to know if HE knows what he did wrong. I HATE getting mad at someone and they ask why I'm mad, or why something they did upset me. They should know. It's common decency.
That being said, if I'm mad at someone, I'm honest about it. Calm, if I want to avoid an argument, but honest.
Robotic - I took your words into action & I told him why I was mad, guess what he said: he never meant 2hurt me, he is sorry, hopes that I can forgive him & he wants me 2be happy! Huh? Never expected a guy 2admit 2being wrong, not all guys react the same way. A chauvinist would have disagree & deny, Its unpredictable! This means he cares! :) Besides the point I did lie 2avoid friction between us. So, honestly I thought it was the best solution, it seemed immature 2actually tell him at the time.
If I'm mad, and someone asks me if I'm mad, I just say yes, haha!
It doesn't have to be complicated - I'm just blunt.
I'll say everything I need to say and we'll either work it out and have sex (haha) or we'll stay mad longer, take time to think alone and come back to it, and either work it out or possibly break up.
There's no reason to play games and I never assume someone else will know if I'm mad about something if I don't say I am.
Because they are different and more demanding.
You must WANT to do the dishes because you SEE her being tired from the day of giving to others/you - no? Then she gets mad but won't admit it because it's unreasonable, over the line and expected only of those that love her to death.

LOL! aw hahahhaha.
Guys lie too about if there is something wrong and they just don't want to talk about it =/
YOU should KNOW why she's mad at you. She shouldn't HAVE to tell you. LOL. XD
She wants you to pry it out of her to show that you care and you want to know what's wrong with her. She may fight like hell to deny it but eventually she'll tell you. She could just be mad in general. but I'm sure if you push her she will tell you. I guess it depends on how approach it. =/ Although I do know some people don't like to talk about what's bugging' them at all no matter.
LOL don't have to like it. Just do it =P hahhaha. *pokes you* It shows that you are concerned about her and actually wants to know what is going on and let letting her go off and deal with it herself which she might resent you for especially if it was a huge problem. Then she might just go off one day listing all those things out of no where and you have no idea what she is talking about. so best deal with it as it comes =P silly hahahahahha
Some people have a hard time opening up and take their issues on by themselves so letting them just deal isn't always the best solution. Maybe they think that the person doesn't care enough or shouldn't even care. You never know what goes through a persons head even if they don't show that they feel that way doesn't mean that they are okay or they are just trying to get attention. In a relationship you have to think about more than just yourself. It could be something stupid or something real.
Sometimes it's hard to open up about things that are difficult for that person. You need to be patient. Guys can have a hard time expressing themselves too. Girls don't just be like what's wrong? Guy: Nothing. Girl: okay, well talk about when you want to (which will never f***in' happen LOL ) see you later. bye.
lol. Some people can't calm down especially if it's an emotional topic for them. They will just get angry all over again. Sometimes they might even not fully express themselves after calming down. I think it's better to talk about it when it's bothering them. They usually are more upfront about how they are feeling and don't hold back. People are difficult sometimes. I guess it's all about who you are and what you're willing to deal with.
I don't know if this only goes for me or for other women as well, but even when I'm mad and when someone knows I'm mad, I don't want to admit it until I've had time to cool off and think about exactly what I want to say. That's why I might blow up and yell something like "WTF!" or just give them a look, then just go in another room for a while so I don't say something irrational or hurtful that I can't take back.
cause stupid question deserve a sarcastic answer .. sometimes =)
But it's not a stupid question.
I feel that if a couple has been in a relationship for a considerable amount of time especially if they live together and thus get to know each other pretty well .. the guy 60% of the time knew when her girlfriend gets angry and he even has a clue of the reason behind his gf’s anger and Yes I know I'm making hasty nasty generalization,everyone is welcome to disagree with me. even if I find it stupid it just annoys me nothing more than that, I would like to believe I'm the sweetest kindest girlfriend to my bf
I personally do not do this because I find it pointless. If you are mad you should trust the person well enough to e able to tell them why you are mad. I think some girls do it because they either want the attention or just do not want to talk about it. I think everyone should voice what they are feeling.
Yeah, I agree
Because guys from a young age were told to holding their feelings because their told by their dad because they try to act tough even though deep down they are not so that is basically what happens why they dont told you what they feeling like anger and sadness
we sometimes pretend we do not know our SO is mad to play innocent haha
