What women say - and what women mean

My own version of the Women - Normal Speech Dictionary.

#1. How are you?
Ask me how I am.

#2. What are you up to tonight / this week?
A) Do you wanna do something together?
B) Anything you say will be remembered and used against you if you say you're busy (see number 4).

#3. I see / I understand
I disagree, but I don't want you to think I'm crazy / desperate.

#4. I see / I understand in response to variations of 'I'm busy'
Stop making up excuses why you don't want to go out with me.

#5. Great
I don't give a crap, but I think you won't recognize that my enthusiasm is fake.

If you could change anything about the way you look...

... what would you do?

This question randomly came to my mind last night. I'm positive many girls and women could relate to my initial reaction - considering which body part I'm least satisfied with, what kind of change could be made and painting the imaginary future in bright colors of self-confidence and attractiveness. Then I thought about it a little more and tried to put myself in other girls' shoes as well. The moment I stopped being so wrapped up in my own body image, my perspective shifted in an unexpected way.
