Why is is so hard for guys to tell that you’re flirting with them?

Because women, for so long have shamed men for looking at them or flirting with them, calling them perverts and creeps. Now men have learned that in many cases, life alone is much more pleasant than a life trying to please a woman. Its become a big shift in the way men behave. Now you see women complaining that all the good men are gone. That is not true, they are just more cautious and if you want one, you are going to have to put in the effort to convince one you are safe.

Because guys think every woman is flirting with them!

Most guys have no problem figuring it out i've found. Also Some think a smile is a flirt. 🤷🏼

Because you have all those knives?

Flirting with me? No, that has never happened.

Suppose you've just received an email that says you're entitled $100,000

Do you jump in excitement or do you get suspicious that it's a scam?

I don't flirt.
I always have my armor up.

Or that we're not. Lol

maybe you need to be more blunt lol

cuz men are from Mars and they don't understand us Earthlings

Usually I don't flirt, I say nice things and they misunderstand that as flirting so it's weird.

Because we are stupid.

We re no longer allowed to notice

Because we're beaten down so much to not assume it...

Also, because guys are blunt with each other and not subtle...

And so when we notice something subtle, it's like, na couldn't be...

Because no one ever does

Because you're so oblique about it. Think about the nature of flirting from his perspective: men, broadly speaking, can't rely on subtlety, because it doesn't work when she's got three dozen men coming at her more directly. So they don't think of flirting in those terms.

Being wrong about that just once can make you wary about assuming that

Because maybe the person flirting is just bad at it, making it difficult for the other person to realise they're being flirted with.

Dudes either think most women dont like them or think all the women in the world like them...theres no in between

Were all different and sometimes people are not strong enough to speak up .

we're constantly told that someone we think is flirting with us is actually not, so we just assume no one is flirting with us

We have women telling us that we are disgusting perverts all the time. So we put up a barrier between ourselves and strangers so we are not at risk of a trumped up sexual harassment accusation.

They're too busy eyeing your body to realize it!
