Womanspeak is a female-to-male dictionary, aimed at enlightening the male population on what a woman means when she says…

‘Is she pretty’
If your woman asks you if another woman is pretty, she is feeling insecure. Answering ‘yes’ to this question isn’t going to do you any favours! You might well be sitting next to a swamp-donkey that has just asked you whether you think Scarlet Johanson is pretty but whatever comparison between the two you might be making in your head, you should find a positive spin to vocalise out loud.
It’s OK to admit Scarlet is good-looking but you want to make sure you point out to your lady-love that she is far more attractive than any fake looking Hollywood starlet.
We all know you’re lying and would like nothing better than to step over us to get to any one of them but the fact that you’ve made the effort to lie to us and spare our feelings will earn you brownie points and help you swiftly sidestep a potential minefield.
