Communication:For men only by Hugo

  Author: 37354  Category:(Debate) Created:(3/15/2002 7:54:00 AM)
This post has been Viewed (1450 times)

When communicating with your significant other I have found that usually an mmm hmmm or uh huh every 90 seconds suffices on my end to keep her satisfied that there is communication in our relationship. I usually do two mm hmms for every one uh huh.This allows me to concentrate on more important things than her conversation,such as"Why did not the rest of the islanders kill Gilligan or at least lock him up." What is your experience as to the minimum amount of mm hmm's and uh huh's necessary to keep communication alive in your relationship.Hugo

Dave
  
Date: 3/15/2002 7:59:00 AM  From Authorid: 35629    Okay i had to look so :P and no way is my man going to get away with that mmmhmmmmm and uh huh anymore hehehe.  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:04:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 37354    You women were not supposed to look, Nightmare Gal. Men across the nation are going to be quite angry with me. Hugo
Date: 3/15/2002 8:07:00 AM  From Authorid: 33925    Oh this is just a "male" tactic?? I do this with my husband all the time! :P:P xoxo  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:11:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 37354    A husband who actually attempts meaningful conversation with his wife? Next thing you are going to tell me, Ladyluck, is he cooks and cleans also. Hugo
Date: 3/15/2002 8:12:00 AM  From Authorid: 25390    OMG Dave and Hugo, LMAO. Believe me, women do it too! When I'm not interested, I jusnerally just go "yah, uh huh" but look really interested. And my mind is thinking, "OMG! Look at that giant green booger hanging out of his nose!"  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:16:00 AM  From Authorid: 25390    Jusnerally?? LMAO.....that should be generally  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:16:00 AM  From Authorid: 42792    I know when my man is doing this and it is always the perfect time for me to hit him up for cash or anything else that he would normally say no to. Having said that, perhaps you men should pay a little bit more attention. Do what women do, we have sensors, i.e.: If my man is rambling on, I can ignore him effectively unless he says key words such as $ for new rims for the car or I'm going away for the weekend and you're not invited. So you see, it is necessary to be programmed to communicate properly.  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:17:00 AM  From Authorid: 33925    Well Hugo, now that you mention it...NO..and I didnt say the conversation had to be meaningful..I just said when he speaks..period...LOL...MEN do not have meaningful conversations...they make noise thats just about it...xoxo  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:20:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 37354    Since I am on the verge of the USM death penalty due to misinterpreted comments, I need to clarift Gilligan was a fictional character and I do not actually support killing any human being. Hugo
Date: 3/15/2002 8:20:00 AM  From Authorid: 2030    Usually I keep the Humms or Ahummms to a minimum as she tends to think then that I'm interupting her. When she stops for air I'll throw in a quick "absolutely!" and go back to daydreaming I'm wearing the "Jason" mask and chasing her around with a machete.  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:21:00 AM  From Authorid: 42792    Mrs. Howle made me nausiated  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:21:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 37354    Thanks for the warning,NKA. Us men are a little slow at this communication thing.Hugo
Date: 3/15/2002 8:22:00 AM  From Authorid: 2030    I think Mrs. Howell was the most useless and should have been cooked and eaten early on in the series.  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:23:00 AM  From Authorid: 20750    lmao!  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:24:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 37354    I would have locked up that woman too. Keep her and Gilligan together and hope she is past child bearing age. Hugo
Date: 3/15/2002 8:24:00 AM  From Authorid: 33925    Oh BCAR..Mrs. Howle had her uses..Im thinking Hugo is right about Gilligan..How did that boy mangage as long as he did without the crew not slaughtering him?? Man they could have done it and gotten away with it...who would have known? xoxo  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:24:00 AM  From Authorid: 44960    HeeHee, had to take a looksie!!,,,Men say "mm hmm's" and "uh huh's" cause they lack the ability to carry on a meaningful conversation with a woman!!....LOL...We still live you Hugo!!!  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:25:00 AM  From Authorid: 13969    I think you are wrong. If what you are talking about is your idea of 'communicating', then I'd hate to see how it is when you aren't communicating. There should be real communication in a relationship. Not just mmmhmm, uh-huh. Sometimes even the little stuff is important to just talk about...and nothing should be more important than just talking! Love,  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:26:00 AM  From Authorid: 14474    Wow, I know this is all in fun, but please tell me you are not all really this sexist!  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:27:00 AM  From Authorid: 20750    Bcar is!!  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:28:00 AM  From Authorid: 20750    hehehehehhehee!  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:28:00 AM  From Authorid: 2030    Darn Right I am!! Now go bake me a pie or something.  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:29:00 AM  From Authorid: 44960    LMAO!!!!  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:30:00 AM  From Authorid: 44960    *thinks BCAR is a little insecure*....LOL  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:30:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 37354    communication is over-rated. It sells a lot of books. Grandpa and Grandma never were subjected to this communication mumbo-jumbo and marriages lasted forever back then. Hugo
Date: 3/15/2002 8:31:00 AM  From Authorid: 20750    lmao!  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:31:00 AM  From Authorid: 42792    to cover myself in my new post ...excuse my poor spelling of nauseated.  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:32:00 AM  From Authorid: 33925    I communicate to my husband all the time..I point and he looks to see where I pointed and reads my mind...it works very well! :P xoxo  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:34:00 AM  From Authorid: 44960    LOL@LLsis!!  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 13969    Communication is NOT overrated. And how do you know what all grandma and grandpa went through. Were you there? Marriages didn't last forever back then. As for the books, yeah we need them. We need to learn how to communicate and be honest. My relationship with my significant other thrives on just being honest and listening to each other. This is partially why some marriages don't last. They don't listen to each other and really get to know each other! Love,  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 2030    LOL! I make up for it though, Miss. Priss, mainly through sheer stupidity. (It detracts from the real issue).  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:37:00 AM  From Authorid: 44960    To communicate with a man...You have to keep things Really SIMPLE!!!...LOL  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:37:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 37354    I wish I could get away with the,"Absolutely". Ihave found mine will raise her voice and say,"Are,you listening?" without the mm hmm's or uh huh's.This actually causes me to hear her, Are you listening? query, causing me to lose focus on the Gilligan situation. Women are quite annoying creatures at times. Hugo
Date: 3/15/2002 8:37:00 AM  From Authorid: 18527    Happy Ides of March Hugo... ((HUGS)) you always brighten my day!  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:39:00 AM  From Authorid: 18527    mmm-hhhmmmm  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:40:00 AM  From Authorid: 14474    Communication is the only way to successfully know each other and happily coexist. It is the mechanism on which human relationships are based, from small interpersonal relationships to mass global relationships. The quality of your relationship is directly connected to the quality of your communication. If you choose a poor method of communication, your relationships will function poorly. Simple as that. 'Nuff said.  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:40:00 AM  From Authorid: 2030    I've gotten to know my wife as well as I want to. I think when I comes to keeping a marriage together, Fear, is a wonderfull motivator. I'm afraid she'd find me if I ran away.  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:41:00 AM  From Authorid: 33925    Yea...Hugo..we can be annoying cant we?? But what would you do without us?? :P:P xoxo  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:43:00 AM  From Authorid: 23610    Hmmmmm....who is your significant other? A Golden Retriever? LOL :P  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:44:00 AM  From Authorid: 25390    Forget that! BCAR get into that kitchen wearing nothing but a "kiss the cook" apron! I wanna see sweat!  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:44:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 37354    I must admit the house would not be near as clean without the little woman around. There are a couple other things she does pretty well. Hugo
Date: 3/15/2002 8:44:00 AM  From Authorid: 13969    *starts screaming and beings to pull hair out* Some men just don't have a clue, do they??? love,  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:45:00 AM  From Authorid: 44960    Men can communicate sometimes, when theres an arguement they always get the last 2 words in. And those last 2 words are..."Yes Dear"!!!!...LOL  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:48:00 AM  From Authorid: 14474    Hugo you are just trying your best to incite a riot, aren't you? Honestly, though, its not even funny. That's like joking about the holocaust.  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:48:00 AM  From Authorid: 25390    yes hugo. mmm hmmm. How nice.  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:49:00 AM  From Authorid: 2030    Those are just the last two words "YOU" hear Miss. Priss. There are two more we say when we're out of hearing distance.  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:50:00 AM  From Authorid: 2030    LOL@Odd. Are you about to "riot" also?  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:50:00 AM  From Authorid: 14474    Maybe I should be a little more light hearted, BCAR, but what is it with the "we" stuff? Now there's teams?  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:51:00 AM  From Authorid: 33925    Yea Hugo..I hear ya...and men are pretty handy for taking out the trash, unclogging the flush, changing the oil in the car...you know the trivial things that us women cannot be bothered with...LOL...xoxo  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:52:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 37354    Gotta go for a little while. Hope I have not stirred anything up. Hugo
Date: 3/15/2002 8:52:00 AM  From Authorid: 2030    I prefer to talk about my self in third person. As in "Run to the kitchen and bring us a beer".  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:54:00 AM  From Authorid: 44960    LOL@BCAR!!  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:55:00 AM  From Authorid: 25390    Me? Riot??? Perish the thought!!!!  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:56:00 AM  From Authorid: 25390    LOL Ladyluck....I prefer to change my own oil myself! Nothing like getting dirty! Then guys come up to you and go, "do you need help with that?" Perfect opportunity to do the "bend and snap" routine!  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:57:00 AM  From Authorid: 2030    Yea Hugo Leave me here alone, It's O.K. I've got it under control.  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:58:00 AM  From Authorid: 23610    Oh....gotta go walk the Golden? *wink*  
Date: 3/15/2002 8:59:00 AM  From Authorid: 25390    BCAR I think you have it in control just as much as your adult diapers.  
Date: 3/15/2002 9:05:00 AM  From Authorid: 20750    Bcar in diapers?? Now thats at leat worth $50 bucks to see!  
Date: 3/15/2002 9:33:00 AM  From Authorid: 16671    Oh lord, you knew I would have to look. LOL @ BCAR, LOL, Oh i needed a good laugh.
VERGE of USM death penalty, arent we all?? Moongirl is right BCAR is, next he will be asking for bacon and beans and a ride with your kid sister!!
  
Date: 3/15/2002 9:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 47930    LOL @ Lady Luck i agree with you so much ...hugs...  
Date: 3/15/2002 9:37:00 AM  From Authorid: 16671    LadyLuck, your communication sounds like mine!! It works for me. OH OH lady luck are men *suppose* to do that, I mean take out the trash, fix the car ect ect?? I thought that ONLY happened after six months of complaining. Oh wait a minutes, I lost the computer, I must dig through the trash.  
Date: 3/15/2002 9:41:00 AM  From Authorid: 14572    Hugo..lol..I personally couldnt agree with you more...But place the shoe on the other foot...just for a second... Women also do this to men... But we happen to have a more extended vocabulary... We say things like... "Its ok baby, honest, THAT happens to all men at one time or another in there lives..." "Granted it has happened to you the last 39..." Streak of bad luck I guess....LMAO!!!!! So see we have our own way of communicating with the opposite sex!!!  
Date: 3/15/2002 9:42:00 AM  From Authorid: 14572    [email protected] and snap??? Is that like the rope and grope??? LMAO!!

Date: 3/15/2002 9:56:00 AM  From Authorid: 16671    Kathy A. LOL LOL, or like with my ex-husband it was like, "oh thats ok hon, I just couldnt concentrate in that 45 seconds, its nothing you did." Seems like women are ALWAys trying to spare the ego of the man. Or your lucky enough to get one that is clumsey! So then its like, " thats ok hon, I know you would have put that fire out if that fence wouldnt have been in the way for you to trip over. Oh by the way, here are some dry clothes, dont know HOW that hose got so tangled and got you sooooooooo wet. They ought to make better hoses. " LOL LOL LOL AND yes, THIS did happen. LOL  
Date: 3/15/2002 10:06:00 AM  From Authorid: 46486    I had to look at this post, lol... Anyways, my man doesn't do the Mmm-Hmm or the "uh huh" to me. But once he reads this post he'll probably start doing it, if he does, I hold you responsible Hugo! LOL jk
