Thought it was time to bring this thread back...the last one kinda went "poof"!
To those who don't know, this thread is for posting questions or observations you may have regarding the opposite sex. Foibles, quirks, and things that generally confuse you. Post away, and the rest of us will do our best to answer. This can also be used as a polling station for generalities.
Please keep the posts clean...I do not necessarily mean the topices, just the language. 
Also, please try not to post something that will deliberately enrage the opposite sex. I would prefer that this remain a nice, intellectual (somewhat) place for the Browncoats to work on figuring out the opposite sex.
Post and enjoy!

What does "Okay" mean when a guy says it????
Sample conversation;
"How are you?"
Okay
"Do you want spagetti or pizza for dinner?"
Okay
"I'm feeling like our relationship is going really well. How do you feel about it?"
Okay
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??????????????

Well, it depends on the tone. As tone is difficult to get across in typing, I'll see what I can do...
Okay said in a normal, everyday voice means just that; "Alright, that sounds fine with me".
Okay said hesitantly means "Well, if you insist, but I am not entirely happy about this".
Okay said long and drawn out means "Hmm. There seems to be a problem. Care to explain?"
Although, there are some males that use this to denote just what it means. Okay is an acceptable response to us. You ask us how we are...if all is well, the answer will be "okay". The either-or scenario you put there is an example of the male not paying attention however...that one deserves a bash. 
Pay Attention!
That is generality in action. Personally, I do not use okay unless I really mean it...some use it to make noise to let you know they are paying attention.
Hope that helps a bit...I can elaborate if need be.

My guess is that its a non-committal noise they make when they are off in their own little worlds. Something I do myself from time to time.

I'm not a guy but as far as I can tell it actually means okay. There isn't more to it. There is absolutley nothing written between the lines. Okay means ok! How many times can you write okay ok before it loses all meaning and you start to think you might be spelling it wrong?
Also I finally did it! I am now offically Single!
Confusion 
I'm sorry I don't have enough energy to go find shiny new emoticons.

I thought I'd be happier. But I don't know I guess I really do love him but it's over and done and I don't feel happy just relieved. Exhausted too and little like I'm going to vomit again.

I'm trying really hard to feel all better. Remebering all the horrible things he said or did. But I don't know seeing someone nearly cry even I feel like a heartless bitch.
