Woman Code

Guys, let me explain something about women and why, no matter what you do, you're screwed.

Sometimes, if we're upset about something and you ask us what's wrong, it's going to make us cry. If you tell us to stop crying, it's going to make us cry even more. If you ask, incredulously, why we're crying...well, you get the picture.

Now, this is something that all women know (or should know). If a friend of ours just had something bad happen we know not to ask "what's wrong?". We pat them on the back, give them a smile and maybe say "It's going to be okay". But generally, asking for a response while a woman is in the midst of an emotional situation will elicit tears.

Now, you're probably thinking, 'Fine, then we just won't ask what's wrong'. Bad move. You're probably going to piss us off even more. You gotta show interest. Gotta show that you actually care enough to see that something happened or hit us wrong. Just no questions. She'll let you know when she's composed herself.

Your best chance of making it out alive is to use non-verbal communication. Give her a quick kiss on the forehead, rub her back and give her a moment alone. It'll pass, she'll regain her composure and things can go on without tears.

Women...we're special. But you love it and you know it...
