The word "no" works first time on a man.

I'm not even talking about sex stuff either. I have a follow up meeting tomorrow that pretty much boils down to "I haven't changed my mind, we're only here because you wouldn't take no for an answer"

    I remember a colleague (note: not boss, just a colleague) who was constantly "assigning" work to random people in the office. He tried it with me. I just took his "assignment" memo, the one he wrote up after I said "no" orally, crumpled it up and tossed it in the wastebin. "No means no."

    I can't fathom what goes through the heads of these people other than, I don't know, a lot of echoes from the empty space.

    Stay strong in the meeting. Continue with "no". It's a word men need to hear more often from women.
