Have you heard people say that “Men are from Mars, women are from Venus”? Well, our communication fails might be actual proof of that. Lucky for you, we have found what men really mean by these 10 frequently used sentences.

1 “I’m not looking for a committed relationship right now”

In other words: I’m looking for a one-night stand. If you hear a man utter these words and you still show signs of interest, he’ll assume you’re in.

2 “My wife and I are practically divorced”

He is definitely not happy in his marriage but he’d never get a divorce unless there’s another woman to run to.

3 “You’re a true friend”

There is no man on Earth who would want you to think of him as a friend if he’s attracted to you. He starts talking about how great of a friend you are, he’s not into you.

4 “The economy is terrible right now”

Yes, that might actually be true but a man who starts blaming the economy when meeting a woman that clearly means that he’s out of a job and is not looking for another.

5 “I’m a virgin because I wanted to wait”

Men who are “waiting” usually have such poor social skills that they could yet find a girl. Not one.

6 “I’m sorry”

He’s either truly sorry or he’s just too tired to fight. Either way, let it go.

7 “I love you”

The exact interpretation of these three words depend on the circumstances they were uttered in. If he’s saying it to get lucky, they don’t mean anything; if, however, both of you are fully clothed, it means that he does love you.

8 “I’m about 5 foot 9”

If a guy says that, he’s not even 5’7 with his shoes on. Men tend to exaggerate when it comes to their actual size – if you know what I mean.

9 “I need space / time”

You’re suffocating him. Let the poor guy be and find himself again. And use that time and space to do something you used to do before you got together.

10 “Can we stay friends?”

He means friends with benefits.
