EQUAL TIME - COURTESY OF CHRIS
Chris has provided a male perspective in a comment to me and for those who didn't see it there, in the interest of fair play and in recognition of his keen insight, I want to give it as much exposure as I can by republishing it below.
WORDS MEN USE
What Do You Want From Me?" - This is a delaying tactic. Most females will actually pause for a moment to think of an answer, which doesn't matter because the male will neither listen or follow said answer.
"Is There Something Wrong?" - Another delaying tactic. The male could not really help you anyway if you actually told him.
"You're Right, It's My Fault." - The male is actually denying blame but wants to end the argument.
"I'm Sorry." - Again, the male is actually denying blame but wants to end the argument.
"I Love You." - Both a delaying tactic and argument stopper. It usually gives the male somewhere between 12 hours to 3 days of relative peace and quiet*.
"Do You Want To Move In Together?" - See "I Love You" entry. Good for 1-3 weeks RP&Q. He only really means it if he has made a duplicate key.
"Will You Marry Me?" - Again, see "I Love You" entry. Good for 4-6 weeks of RP&Q. He only really means it if he bought the ring.
*"Relative Peace & Quiet" is a subjective term as determined by the male. The truth is relationships with females are very seldom peaceful and never quiet.
