I'm married so I don't want random dudes thinking I'm hitting on them or something

In my experience men are usually incapable of telling whether you're just being friendly or whether you want his dick really bad so that's not really bad logic there. Maybe it's because they're one of those people who are like 'the only reason men and women should interact is for sex purposes?' Idk.

I have a friend who's normally fine but goddamn does he ever have trouble with that. A server could be friendly to him and later he'll be like 'should I have asked her out you think?' The most innocuous thing turns into 'she wanted me I bet.'


\/\/\/ I'm def leaning towards latter and I've def missed out on opportunities that way. Oh well.

Some dudes will have a girl smile at them and immediately assume they want the d, and some dudes will have a girl hanging all over them and be like "well yeah but maybe she's just being nice and doesn't actually like me".

When I reached prime obliviousness during my younger years I somehow managed to do both at different times.

I've been all over guys and had them do nothing and then move on, only for people to later tell me that I broke so-and-so's heart because they pined for me, and it's like jesus christ if I'd been hanging off their nards any harder it would be a jailable offense

do women really like compliments about their makeup? I thought the whole point was that it's supposed to be fingerquotes invisible. plus makeup is a patriarchal construction and women should throw it all in the trash

I don't compliment people's make up unless it's like a rave or something and it's very obviously showy "event" make up, and even then only my friends or people I know.

Seems too personal idk.

Because if I like them for reasons that might include sex, then I like them for reasons that don't include sex at all, and if they never take any initiative then I don't want to gamble and risk losing everything :shrug:

dudes need to take a hint from how women compliment each other

things that are generally okay to compliment:
stylish/interesting clothing or fashion sense

things that are not okay to compliment:
how much said clothing makes you want to stick your dingus in her

hell, "you look really great today" is totally fine as long as it's not followed up by something retarded like "meeee-OW!" or whatever

That's why you need your elders to find you a partner and take the guesswork/embarrassment out of it. Otherwise everyone is just shuffling along frustrated with no properly defined way to show attraction
