The difference between men and women

I received a text.  It was a question and it was from a man.  "What size do you wear?"

A complicated question, really.  And I had to answer it in a text, so I needed to make sure to keep my wording precise and to the point.  I wasn't really worried about judgment about my size... well, I take that back... there was a part of me that wanted to go with the smaller size... I mean, it depends on the store, right?

So, my answer went something like this:
"Well, I usually wear a medium on both top and bottom, but it depends on if I am shopping in the women's department or the junior's department.  I prefer to shop in the junior's department.  I could wear a small top in the women's department, but I would have to go medium or large in the junior's department, depending on the type of top.  As far as bottoms, I believe I'm usually like a size 6 or 7 in the women's department but that could be a 9 or 11 in jeans from the juniors department."

His response:
"So, medium is good?"

My response:
"yes." And the feeling that I had just gone waaay overboard in explaining something to someone who could only handle a one word answer. 

I hope it (whatever it is) fits.
