    I hate that this is framed as men being stupid when in reality if a man is ignoring a hint it’s because he’d rather be wrong about it not being a hint than wrong about it being a hint and make an unwanted advance.

      Nope, there’s a decent number of us who can completely miss any type of hint, and need to be told explicitly that someone’s into us.

      Source: It’s me, I’m one of those men.

        It can both of these things. I can completely miss most hints thrown my way and still be concerned about misreading possible hints.

        In some things a lack of subtlety is a virtue. In this case, “you, me, sex” is not clear enough. Please specify a time and location as well.

          Wait, it doesn’t mean right here, right now? Maybe that’s why I’m banned from the supermarket 🤔
