The short list of phrases that most infuriate Russian women when communicating with men is headed by “we’ll see” - 47% of Russian women perceive this word as a “no” answer. The dating service Mamba shares the results of its own research.
In second place in the female anti-rating is the phrase “keep it simple” - it irritates 30% of respondents. And then follows “I’ll call you back,” especially if the call never came.
Men, according to Mamba, have formed their own blacklist. They are more likely to lose their temper when they hear “you should have figured it out yourself!” (39%), “everything is fine” (34%) and “everything is clear...” (30%). Another 26% of respondents do not like it when they are told “I’ll decide everything myself, don’t tell me.”
