As you may or may not be aware, women speak a slightly different language than men. This language, often called "womanese" sounds like English, and uses English words, but often it's meaning is very different. Many men are often confused when they assume woman language is equal to English, and take action on that basis, only to get a big steaming bowl of drama for their trouble (or worse, lack of sex).
Today I, Professor Blackdragon, shall assist you in translating this confounding language into normal English, so that you may more easily understand our feminine counterparts.
Obviously I cannot provide you with a comprehensive dictionary of woman language words and phrases…such a tome would be thicker than the Bible. What I can do is give you some examples so you at least get a feel for woman language, this most imprecise of spoken languages.
Here then is a list of common words, phrases, and sentences in woman language, and their proper translation into normal English.
Woman Language English Translation

"Where is this going?" or "What is this to you?" or "What am I to you?" "You have not asked me to be your girlfriend yet and that disturbs me. Every other man I've dated asked me to his girlfriend by the 2nd or 3rd date. What the fuck is your problem?

"Till death do us part…" "I'll be divorcing you in two to seven years."
"I want a nice guy." "I've fucked too many men lately and I'm feeling a little guilty about it."
"always" "occasionally"
Examples would be "You always fart on me!" or "I will always love you."
"never" "occasionally"
Examples: "You never pick up your clothes!" or "I would never have an open relationship." or "I'll never talk to that bitch again."
Note: The two most commonly used words in woman language are "always" and "never". Women use these words constantly, especially when they're upset, complaining, or trying to look cool. Just replace the words "always" and "never" with the word "occasionally" and you'll be good to go.

The "womanese phrasebook" is a fine and much-imitated genre of seduction writing, always worthy of further installments. But I've noticed, at least in myself, that a man can read these translations and understand them logically, but you don't really "get" them until you've lived through them. A man can understand that "I really like you because you're so nice and I'm sick of assholes" means "My biological clock is ticking so I'm thinking of settling for a respectable guy who doesn't really turn me on for a few years"–when it's said to another man. But when it's said to me, in the emotional heat of the moment by a woman I love, it often just doesn't register. I find that I don't really internalize these translations until I've been burned by them once myself. (Thankfully, I haven't been burned by that particular example, but I've often missed the signs that a girl has lost her attraction for me or is testing me.)
Blackdragon says:
Maybe I'm weird, but I don't have that problem to that extent. Once I know woman language, especially a specific phrase I've heard many times, as soon as a woman I care about says it to ME, I will instantly recognize it as BS, er, I mean woman language.
That being said, I will sometimes temporarily forget women speak a different dating/relationship language. A woman might say something like "I'm thinking about breaking up with you," and because I'm tired or distracted, I will lazily assume she really means it literally by default. But even then, within a few hours or perhaps the next day I will remember she's a woman and she really said "I have no intention of breaking up with you whatsoever but I'm upset about a specific behavior so I'm going to give a shit test to see if you will obey me and correct it." 🙂 Again, just to use an example.
This is awesome and very enlightening, but it begs the question, how do you appreciate people who are so full of shit? I got the same feeling while reading "Practical female psychology for the practical man", you know how they are, how can you defend them? Is there a double standard applied here? Would you have anything to do with a man like this?
I would love a post about 'love' so I can finally understand wtf is going on.
"always"	"occasionally"
This post is a masterpiece!
I find these blogs so entertaining to be honest, I mean seriously?! A while ago I did some research about deceptive indicators, body language or just language… Turns out the words "always", "never" and "actually" are some of the first indicators of verbal deception and if you think woman are the only ones using this you are solely mistaken! As usual, great and ensightful blog as always BD! Keep up the bad work;)

Women aren't the only ones, but they're the ones who use them far, far, FAR more often.
Be that as it may, what about those very few woman out there that prefer being direct and saying what they mean? To be honest yeah I've used a few of those myself, but more to get out of sticky situations where I just couldn't bear having the guy get all clingy on me…. But mine was more along the lines of "Its not you its me, I'm just too open for you, I enjoy my freedom… You need someone who wants to be swept off her feet and play playstation all day" translation "Your boring the snot out of me so much so I'm suffercating!". Though that's just my rough version, my point is generally I don't beat around the bush I say just what I think, unless its to a clingy beta, being direct with them is vertually impossible once they have their Disney Wedding planned. So yes we speak womanese, and there's way more than just those examples but we do have our reasons…
what about those very few woman out there that prefer being direct and saying what they mean?
"What about Asian men who are 6'5″????"
Those women are the rare exception to the rule, and as such the vast majority of men won't be dating or in relationships with those women, therefore it's pointless to bring them up.
To be honest yeah I've used a few of those myself
Thank you for proving my point.
So yes we speak womanese
Thank you for proving my point again.
but we do have our reasons
Irrelevant.

Then she texted back Ok very nice.
I have a question what are u looking for?
I replied with I date, i see if I can make a connection. Whatever develops, hope that answers your Q …?
She tested back with Fair enough well we will find out.
BLACK DRAGON what is your opinion on the choice of words I used to reply to the Q about what am i looking for?
Do you feel I have got chance to sleep with her based on what she texted me? If you translate her language into english lol
That's the most needy text I've ever seen. Stop sending women texts like that.
God. More needy. STOP IT.
Needy as fuck. No wonder she was asking you what you were looking for. You were practically pulling those questions out of her. Your frame is very beta.
You've pushed her Make Him Wait button. Now it's going to be very hard to sleep with her quickly. Read this and stop being such a beta with women.
Thanks for your advice. I have recommend your blog to many
Is this frame beta as well this is a message with another gal
i messaged her saying Netflix pending am just waiting for the green light lol
She put a green light sign
I wrote My house or yours
She messaged back yours
i think i am finding hard to find the balance of playing it cool not showing to much interest but trying to show am into having sex not relationship if you can show me your other posts that you put up on the blog that would be great to help with the issue
Do a search for Text Game on my blog. There are several posts in that series that will help you.

Besides, it's mostly going to be Dominator women, unbearable in and of themselves.
CatLord says:
What she says: ANYTHING AND/OR NOTHING AT ALL
What she means in actual English: Something completely unrelated that has no logical connection at all to what she said.
Alternate translation: You can't psychically read minds and sense my emotions? Sucks to be you.
That about sums it up in my experience.

This article made me gay. Women literally disgust me now….

"I love sex once I'm in an exclusive relationship with a man who's jumped through all of my many hoops." (Women who truly love sex never have to say "I love sex.")"
OK, but the very were ASD-free females around get the blame, by your definition. I mean, at least when they "let go", some will say they love sex, it being the case.
