    Fact: men aren't the best communicators. I know it's a very general statement, but for the most part, you know it's true - it's just not one of their strengths. That's not to say that all women are good communicators, but we do tend to speak our feelings - no matter how annoying we may come off.

    Maybe it's because they don't want to piss women off, or maybe they'd just rather avoid a fight, but most guys are just not willing to say what they're really thinking. But after a little pow wow with some of my male friends, I think I've finally cracked the code. So, here are 12 common guy phrases and what they really mean.



    What Guys Like: They Hate Pretty Much Everything Girls Do



    He Says: I like you, but I don't want to risk ruining our friendship.
    He Means: This is the nicest way I can think of to tell you that I have no physical interest in you.

    He Says: You should definitely have a girls' night!
    He Means: A 2 in 1 win! I get a night alone to do all the things you find annoying and now I look like the nice boyfriend, so next time I want a boys' night, you can't say anything.

    He Says: Take my number and give me a call sometime if you want to hang out.
    He Means: I guess I'd hang out with you if you called, but I'm not interested enough to go out of my way or anything.

    He Says: I'm usually really shy when it comes to picking up girls.
    He Means: I'm a pro. I do this on a regular basis and I'm fully confident that I'll have you in my bed by the end of the night.

    He Says: You're being sensitive.
    He Means: You're either having a serious case of PMS or you're just bats--- crazy.

    He Says: I just don't think I'm ready for a girlfriend right now.
    He Means: I just don't think I'm ready for you to be my girlfriend...ever! But I'll still hook up with you.

    He Says: You look interesting. Did you do something different?
    He Means: Your look horrible. What did you do to yourself?



    Staying Friends With Your Ex: Good Idea Or Bad Idea?



    He Says: It's complicated. I'll explain later.
    He Means: There's nothing complicated about it. I just don't have the patience to deal with questions right now and hopefully you'll forget about this by tomorrow.

    He Says: My friends (let's call him John) is so whipped!
    He Means: John's relationship is the perfect example of what this relationship better not turn into.

    He Says: I'm pretty much single...
    He Means: I have a girlfriend and she'd kill me if she knew I was talking to you right now, but you're hot enough for me to risk it.

    He Says: No hun, you look gorgeous in this one.
    He Means: Let it be... If you change your outfit one more time, I'm leaving without you.

    He Says: I really didn't think you'd get this mad.
    He Means: I knew it would piss you off, but I really didn't care at the time.
