I didn't even know she was there until her hands were on me. She may have done this simply because I was unknowingly blocking the aisle. Or maybe she did it because she was attracted to me?

You can't blame evolution. In the olden days, guys didn't need cues.

So, help me with a question in this very vein:
If a gal I met 30 minutes ago has ******* in her mouth, is that friendliness? Or a come-on?

Isn't it possible that women are just as likely to mistake their own come ons as friendliness?

My girlfriend didn't believe me when I told her guys are idiots and will take any sign of attention from an attractive woman as a come-on.



Can't really blame us... It's just wishful thinking.

A study that took into account the participants' physical attractiveness would have more value.

i think it's the opposite. women often misinterpret my friendliness for flirting, and when i was younger i was often oblivious to women's flirting, mistaking it for friendliness.
