"My strong suit isn't euphemism. Thats a woman's game" A few euphemisms that men use are shared below, since it's their game too. And BTW, better that we use euphemisms than say to another human soul, "I do not want you and you disgust me." This sort of thing would be brutality--it would also be, for the most part untrue. In these cases, the attraction is about something else and is somewhere else. Better to use the euphemisms and find new ones to let admirers know that their appreciation is acknowledged and appreciated but not reciprocated in the same fashion. "It just wasn't working out." Translation: "She had the almighty nerve after ten years of an affair to ask if we might think about telling the world it might be permanent." The dreaded "M" word! "I'm not a 'relationship kind of guy'." Translation: I am here to get laid! "I guess I'm too tense." Translations: "I don't know why the f*k I can't get it up, dammit!"; "Oh, my God, I feel like my wife is peering over my shoulder!"; "All of a sudden I realize that you know more about this than I do and I am going to feel like a naive kid!"; "You want me? There must be something wrong with you!"; "Oh, my God, I've got a tiger by the tail! Help?" Etc. "You're very aggressive." Translations: "You are scaring me witless!"; "I think I am hearing that I can't possibly satisfy you, Jesus, maybe a regiment couldn't satisfy you--I'm outta here fast*!"; "Get your mitts off my shorts, I'll take them off when I'm ready to!"
