Mods, please don’t take this Q down. The reason why I asked is because women have opposite private body parts to men, and we as men do not have boobies or the ability to become pregnant. Giggity goo.

Context matters. If you’re asking her if she likes pancakes and she says no….. she doesn’t like them. If you’re asking her to have sex or go on a date or….. yada yada. If she says no just take it as NO….

She most likely genuinely means it when she says no. In some cases there are women who want a man to pursue her or is playing hard to get. Guess what? Those women aren’t worth your time anyways. Move on.

But absolutely context matters if she’s joking or being sarcastic that’s different. But take no for an answer. Don’t push it…. Even if she is playing hard to get. Not worth it.

It doesn't matter what it means. It only matters what she said. If she meant "no", then problem solved. If she meant something OTHER than "no", we'll now she's learned a valuable lesson. Maybe she should try being clear and consistent. Because whatever comes out of her mouth at that point I'm just not listening to and walking away.👍

It means no.

Not ‘convince me,’ not ‘try harder,’ not ‘maybe later.’ Just no.

It can come from different reasons , comfort, boundaries, lack of interest but the meaning stays the same.

The most respectful thing a man can do is accept it without pushing, because how he handles that says a lot more than anything he says after.

What I really want to say to you would get reported and you’re not worth all of that. Anyway, it really means no. Meaning, stop. Meaning LEAVE 👏🏽 HER 👏🏽 ALONE. 👏🏽 Understand now?

Didn't your parents teach you what "no" means? It has a meaning that doesn't depend on which body parts you won in the lottery.

No means no... But and a huge but.. Tone matters. Serious tone = stop. Playful or Giggly = Wants persistence or to immature to say no firmly right away.

Most of the time it means yes

Thank you I’ve experienced this before a few times. I know what it’s like.

It means no, in no uncertain terms.

[Agape93]

Usually it means no.

[InsecureLivesMatter]

Really? Be honest.

[Spencer10]

Yeah really. Duh

[InsecureLivesMatter]

But she doesn’t have a penis like I do. And I don’t have boobies.

[Jeff51]

No means no
