TODAY I FEEL F.I.N.E. OR WHAT 28
YEARS WORKING WITH WOMEN TAUGHT ME
FINE; unless Women are talking
about dining, wine or china, if they tell you something’s “fine,” it borders on
bad.
Some Women, and many others, see
this “fine” as an F-word, an acronym for Fouled-up, Insecure, Neurotic and
Evasive. Hey I can relate to that at times! ;)
“In our culture, “fine” usually
implies fair, but not good or great. If Women/Male want to say something is
good or great, most choose uplifting, energizing words which translate to
‘better than average.’ “Fine” implies average or mediocre”.
For some this goes back to
elementary school terminology. Great is an ‘A.’ Good is a ‘B.’ “Fine” is a
‘C.’?
In fact the Dictionary defines
the word “fine” as “excellent,” “very well” or “superior” for some that is just
plain wrong.
So when a male say something’s
“fine,” paranoia sets in for some females. Then some Women lament over what’s
wrong, as they are usually convinced the problem was their fault. If anyone
declares their current state as “fine,” some deem that worrisome and must get
to the bottom of the issue?
Also many females, it seems, read
negativity into the word “fine.”
Guys hear or say the four-letter
word “fine”and take it at face value. But trust me brothers you shouldn’t!
“When Women use the word “fine”,
particularly in conversation with a man, it usually means the opposite, and any
man should shudder!”
Women responding to a topic and say
“fine”. When this word leaves their lips then I can also assure you that
something’s brewing or they just don’t want to get into the details.
“Fine” is usually used when
things are anything but “fine.” However, even though it tends to seem like it
begs the asker to dig deeper, that is usually the last thing Women want. As
they use “fine” more in the sense that things suck right now and they really do
not care to explain any further!
Delivery plays a huge role in the
word “fine”. “Dammmmn, girl, you look “fine” says nothing negative. In fact,
that’s a compliment. Use it much but be careful as it also can be a two edged
sword against you if you do not see the very subtle; “fine” but I’m really not
feeling that way!!!”
“The symphony put on a fine
performance!” denotes positivity.
Then also a monotone “I’m fine”
at best means neither bad nor good. Fine, simply put, falls flat.
Besides, “fine” says very little,
again unless you’re the type who can read into things easily.
One could just establish a new
acronym for “F.I.N.E.”; maybe meaning Fabulous, Insightful, (on cloud) Nine and
Excellent.
With that meaning, most would I
believe would be happy to declare themselves F.I.N.E.
So Today I am “F.I.N.E.” and this
is for all my female friends and family whom I LOVE!
Also this is sent with LOVE to
you all and all that heaven will allow!
Sir Richard… is at this moment “F.I.N.E.”
