Since when does NO mean maybe???🤔

January 28 2018

Seems some people have variations of NO. Recently in the forums and news there a subject matter that has become some what CLOUDY. It is the word "NO" or "NO THanks". To mention to someone...NO. Why must a person ask again? And again? Put one subject of NO keeps coming up. That is with women. What makes them understand or think that NO means maybe. After NO is said they keep persisting? I wonder if the roles were changed that from a woman to a man things would be different. No means no... not maybe..and trying to be "cute or cheeky NO is not a maybe" What are your thoughts on the word NO and how have these men or women not understood the NO answer?

    ... safety and decorum, it's best that you discuss this with whichever lady you are interested in. No one woman can speak for ALL women, and we all have different boundaries. I understand that in certain scenarios like BDSM or consensual non-consent, "No!" might not be the safety word but a turn-on word. So again, an honest discussion with the person is the best option. You wouldn't want to land on the wrong side of the law pertaining this. So, communicate, communicate, communicate!

    PurePeony is bang on it if it's a personal issue you're having. I get some people might ask again if situations changed or something.. But yeah.. Not something you want to get wrong in certain situations... - Posted from rhpmobile

    don’t handle rejection well and try very hard to convince one to change ones mind. For them , No does not mean no, but rather an opportunity to become a pest and push a little harder ..... - Posted from rhpmobile

    Nobody has to tell me no, twice. Mind you, I remember this idiot in the pitch dark and I think he was waving his arm about, going by the slight breeze that was generated... and then he pipes up and says “I said no!” .... and I’m like: “Well mate, actually you never said a thing.” Point is, nobody is a mind reader.... speak up and say what you want, and definitely speak out and say what you don’t want so your “thoughts” are clearly understood. In times of vulnerability we should all communicate in easy to understand voice. Hugs Gaz

    It's a learnt behaviour, that's why. Some people have never had a role model or been educated on what "no" really means. If just one person rewards that kind of behavior, then the “no” doesn’t really mean “no”. It means to them “keep trying and negotiating". The best way to end, when someone is arguing with your "no is no"/boundaries/rules is to say “No, I’m not going to discuss this any further” or "I am not the person you should be discussing this with" and end all conversation and walk away. You own them nothing. I also believe that teaching someone (an adult) "no", is not going to happen overnight. I also believe that some do say "No" when they actually mean "Not now, try again later."

    Too fukn funny Candy There isn’t too many people in the world I don’t care much for but he’s up there!! In terms of “no” I leave it at that, mostly I’ll reply just with the “thanks for the reply, have fun”. If you’re not ticking someone’s boxes straight up, no amount of badgery should sway them. You just dig deeper holes or end up on Meanders block list, or worse, there’ll be a knock at the door with some guys holding handcuffs and it won’t be for a ninja fuck. BB - Posted from rhpmobile

    A man so No! To a Woman's advances... Say it ain't so... Yep, there is a lot of that attitude at times... And on the flipside, she can't possibly mean no, she just doesn't know me well enough... I'll give her another chance. Both tongue in cheek, of course. Mine and his was a bloke who, during chat, kept making the same joke that the missus should pop around for a warm up. So we said no, and no, in no uncertain terms. Funny, he was living in the last house we lived in. Peachy

    Sometimes No doesn't mean No, it means try harder. But you have no choice but to take it as a No because no means NO ! So if they come back to try and goad you into trying again, the answer is clearly......NO.
