The "silent treatment" is an incredibly immature way that some people attempt to deal- or not deal- with an arguement or issue.
Men do this basically because the arguement has got to stage where most likely they realise that they have been WRONG. And, as they love to sulk and make you feel bad for them- they do this "silent treatment."
This is an excuse for them to look like they are thinking things over and coming to a resolution, and an excuse to have you worry and keep interested in what is happening. They are really just sulking. Men get over things very quickly if you ignore them. If he goes silent- accept that you are actually correct and say nothing. Continue as normal- cook dinner or something and don't have an atmosphere. No changing gravity and slamming things around and getting huffy. The argument is actually over. Eventually, when he realises that everything is okay, and you both have silently accepted that he was wrong (don't bring this to his attention by the way)- he will be happy again and give you a kiss on the cheek. This is a sorry for being a grump.
Men are alot easier to read than women. They don't like being wrong and can't deal with it if they are. All they really want is our approval. They're lovely really.

I'm soooo glad a woman has asked this question. Sometimes when your man is giving you the silent treatment it's because he's heard enough for awhile. Unlike women, men aren't interested in verbalizing every thought that enters our heads. Why do you think we get so irritated by constantly being asked "what are you thinking about?" This is going to sound too simple to be true, but if he's stopped talking he may be telling you he doesn't want to talk. Period.

Well, if he is giving u the "silent treatment" as "U" call it.......then he ain't "saying" to much! Right? And besides "silence is golden" and another thing....Why on earth would u want to know what he is "thinking"? U need to not worry about these unexplainable "habits" that men are (so called) born with. Because U will never get an answer for this one believe u me! In other words trying to figure out what ur man is thinking....is just like asking; "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop? (ans: "THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW"!

He can't be bothered to talk about shopping and gossip about your friends. Wouldn't take it personally.
But seriosly this question is WAY too vague. He could be thinking about anything, depends on the situation. By your question you are assuming that every man who gives a girl silent treatment is thinking the same thing. Need more details.

May I suggest you try to find a copy of the book 'Men are from Mars...Women from Venus'. It gives a wonderful insight into the differences between the way men and women behave. Men tend to go into thier 'caves' to think before they open up about something. When they know how they feel, they will open up again. Women, on the other hand want to discuss things from the start and when a man goes silent on them, they think he's sulking or something. Try to get the book, it really will give you a good insight. And doint be too hard on him.....he'll be back, opening up to you again

What happened before he gave you the silent treatment?
Perhaps he wants to tell you something that you may not like. He is trying to figure out a way to let you know without hurting your feelings...
For you to find out, why don't you ask him? I am sure he'll open up to you. Just be ready for whatever he is about to tell you.

Men are easy to understand.
When he wants you to know what he is thinking, he will say it.
If he is silent, it means there is presently nothing that he needs to say to you.
Don't try to read any female-style mind games ("silent treatment") into it. We don't work that way.
I must say I find many of the female answers to this question rather amusing, and oddly reassuring. It seems you all understand us as badly as we understand you.

It means ignoring you and dealing with the consequences of doin so is a more attractive proposition than actually talkin out what's really wrong. But eventually, if you two are close and serious or what not, he'll begin to miss talking to you, calm down and take the grown-up option.
Give it a week. Tops

Been there, done that and he is trying to tell you he is the master and you will either apologize for whatever caused the silent treatment or you will have to suffer through until he decides that he has had his fun. My ex used that as an excuse to go out partying without my bitching.

it may be that you did something he didn't like that you are unaware of. he could also be going through something at work that he doesn't wanna talk about. there are many reasons. but you shouldn't be guessing what it is. ask him if something is wrong. tell him you noticed that he's been quiet lately and it's making you worry. let him know that he can confide in you about anything and you are willing to listen. that if there is a problem in your relationship, you are willing to work with him to solve it. whatever you do, keep an open mind. listen to him before you react or make any judgements. in every relationship, communication is key.
