Bekah Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I love that men are muscular, even if they are overweight, they usually have pretty good tone in their arms and shoulders and even their legs most of the time...and it's nice. Granted, the ones who are on the too thin end of the spectrum, may not have as much, but they almost always have potential to gain it, and that's still a thing to love.and I love that ^^^^^ (that guy) is ballsy enough to do that AND hold his little dog too 1 Quote Druid Assassin Halfling Druid Level 16, Current Quest: Bekah Returns Spoiler Fitbit Facebook Your life does not get better by chance.

Machete Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Definitely a closer. It takes serious balls to close. Or serious lack of self-awareness. I, on the other hand..."What are you talking about?

The Stranger Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I'd say (after several mint juleps) that even if a man wasn't flirting, he'll often retcon it in if the woman responds. As for women not flirting, my total inability to believe otherwise was the primary cause of a very boring adolescence.

Liberator Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Find guys that aren't super oblivious... :-) Okay, but guys no complaining about not getting the girl…. maybe it is not so much about being a "closer" and more about being cognizant… or at least awake! Of course, if you can't get a guy's attention to begin with, it only gets worst over time. 1 Quote Link to comment
Machete Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I remember reading an article somewhere, maybe in Men's Health or Esquire, that said that men should always assume a woman is just being friendly and that women should always assume a man is flirting. This is how you become a non-closer and end up not getting laid. By always assuming that a woman is "just being friendly" you miss important subtle cues that she is giving out. This is how you end up interpreting "This place is a waste of time. Let's go back to your room and I'll help you pack." and "Come to my condo alone at 2:30 in the morning.I'm lonely." as just a female being friendly. A lot of women are so oblivious to how dense men are. Their communication systems are so refined and sophisticated that to us they appear to be communicating under some gender-specific telepathic network. They can have entire conversations within a split-second without saying a word. A woman explained to me how when she and her husband were walking together down a street another female makes momentary eye contact with her husband, then makes momentary eye contact with her. Apparently that translates to "Game on, bitch." She was pissed-off at her husband, but he had no idea what was going on. Oh, boys!

However, if I was having a friendly conversation with a woman at work or at the bank and she requested I come to her apartment alone at 2:30 AM I think a lot of things would be going through my mind. However, I am only in this thread for the lulz. I "closed" 13 years ago and haven't reopened. "Hey attractive co-worker, I fixed your radio console.

But I didn't mean you, yourself, as an individual person, I meant people in general (but I kind of sound pretentious when I refer to people as "one"). Actually I was implying more on the grounds of me. "That's how I..." By ALWAYS assuming that a woman is merely being friendly, I miss a lot of the indicators of when she isn't. Missing the indicators of flirting is a long-running recurring joke in this topic.Anyway, I assume everyone here is in the thread for the so-called lulz. It's a hilarious thread.

Because I'm just not convinced of it. I think it must be some kind of myth or urban legend. Or am I really that dense that I'm somehow missing it all?I've seen it in action, but only ever in a negative context (That bitch! Did you see the way she was looking at me? Etc) and always from a certain kind of woman. I can't help but think this concept of "non vocal communication" is simply camouflage for competitiveness, the same way as when you get alpha-type males strutting around vying for position, these women are actually just reacting to another potential "threat" rather than anything else. But then again. It might be that I really am just that dense... What do you girls think? 1 Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment

Silo Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Yeah, I'd say that simple eye contact on a woman's part is often just simple eye contact. I mean, I like to be at least somewhat aware of my surroundings so if I'm out someplace, I'll look around. If I happen to glance at a man and then scroll left to the woman he's with, I'm not trying to egg her on in any way. But I don't know, sometimes I think maybe I don't understand stuff like this. My husband and I have been together since our early teens so I have never been experienced the normal dating/courting scene. (The fact that I just used the term "courting scene"probably illustrates that point.) I do know that women are, in general, more sensitive to tone of voice so we may hear more from a sentence than a man would. 5 Quote 2016 goals: Hit goal weight.
