Being male

[jeffreyab]

Sometimes when I learn about the behaviours of some of my fellow gender it gets me depressed.

Guilt by association makes me question every mistake I have ever made with a member of the opposite sex.

sometimes it's coy, and sometimes it's a tease - "come chase me, big boy". But when it's "I am not interested in you and you need to leave me alone", please take the hint! *wink*

And how are men supposed to tell the difference?

This is what I mean by gender communication issues. In other words--MEN DON'T TAKE HINTS. Why is this news to so many women? It's like they grew up in a world devoid of males.

Many of them do except for school.

I had actually meant that I uttered those exact words to one man who continued to ask me out and harass me. I had not meant to indicate you were supposed to figure it out for yourself.

Thanks for the advice that "Men don't take hints". I assume, as a woman, that you do. Hell, women take hints that aren't even there!! For instance, I got stood up this weekend (sorta) and even though he appears to have had a perfectly valid reason, I am sure he just didn't want to be with me. With a lot of women, "it's all about me!".
