One of the biggest complaints men have about women is that they will say something but mean the exact opposite of what came out of their mouth. A simple example of this is when asked what they want to eat, many women will say "I don't care," and if something is suggested they don't want they'll say "No, I don't want that."

It's usually not to be hurtful or a pain, but women usually deal with possibly conflict or disagreement by saying something else to avoid the trouble of having to explain or going further into it.

That's right, this habit is not something that happens only in conversations with men. In many situations women instinctually say what whoever's listening wants to hear, whether they are a man or a woman.

Men think more on this habit than women do because they don't just do it, in most cases it just doesn't come out without thought for men. What's more is that for men it's not a social standard.

Many women feel that they have to act that way to get by. Who wants to be told that they have bad taste or that they're just plain wrong? Just being straight forward can end badly. Women may do it too often, but it's an instinctual precautionary measure.

Women have an accommodating nature, whether they want to or not. It's in their blood to say "yes" when they mean "no" just to keep the other person comfortable and let the power go to someone else's shoulders.

There is a point of saying the opposite that it is malicious. When a woman is angry, it can be one of her most lethal and backfiring weapons available.

She's mad and yelling at you and you ask her a question amidst the fight and what does she say? "It's up to you, I don't care," or "Go ahead and do what you want, I don't care." Phrases like these are flags. Usually when anything is accompanied by "I don't care," you need to know that she does care and she expects you to know that.

If you go along with her "I don't care" and believe her, she is going to take it badly, whether you meant it that way or not. When she says she doesn't care she is tossing it up to you to make the right decision.

It's a shame that relationships can end because of a simple misunderstanding, but it happens all the time. Communication methods are very different between men and women, and both sides need to be aware of that.

If women would try to learn to control that urge to say "I don't care" and men would learn to understand that "I don't care" really means "I DO care and YOU should know that," everyone's lives would be much easier.
