No Means Yes, Yes Means No!

Women never say what they mean – that’s what everyone believes. Is it true? If so, why?

No Means Yes, Yes Means No!

Anyone who’s watched Horton hears a Who, the animated film based on Dr. Seuss’s book Horton and the Speck, will recall the words “ I meant what I said and I said what I meant.” But though this may be true for elephants like Horton, most people say that this statement is completely untrue when it comes to women and communication.

So, is it true that women have a tough time saying what they mean? Perhaps. As with everything else, it’s hard to generalize – since some women are very clear in their communication, and others are quite hazy. But isn’t this true of men too? It could be the topic that is being discussed that causes the ambiguity, depending on how comfortable the woman is talking about it, and expressing her views clearly.
