Some men don't seem to understand the meaning of 'NO' and that a sad part of our society. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I enjoyed reading and wish you luck with the contest.

A good use of the word No and to Know what it means in your 2-4-2 poem Ginda.
From the start boundaries need to be adhered to both in the date nights and society in general. Good luck in the contest,
cheers,
valda

The three most powerful lines in the dating world. No, know I mean no, I mean it. Poignant and discreet the women often hesitate to express their true desires and emotions. Know when to say it and when to run straight out of the restaurant towards your car or truck and go home.

All relationship need bountaries and to few people know how to set them. We need to know a person well and not give into demands which oversteps the boundaries. Nicely done

Great message - I guess for someone on a first date? And you told it in only seven words. You even used a homonym - no and know. It's best that each knows what "NO" means! Best wishes in the contest!

Ginda, there are some of our men who need to see this succinct 8 syllables in a wider/broader dissimulation/circulation...No, means NO!
This sparsity of words could not be more empathic in rejection of un-wanted advances; unsolicited touching/fondling, etc...The list could/ should be unabridged and inexhaustible. Good luck with this in the contest. teafor2

Concise and direct. Excellent use of homonyms 'no' and 'know'. Also, great use of 'meaning' and 'mean it.'
This has to do well in the contest. There isn't a wasted word.

Very cleverly constructed, with "no" and "know", and "meaning" and "mean". Your message is clear, and is excellent advice for everyone. Best wishes for your entry.
