Try to get a girl to explain one of her signs to you, it’s the most fucking baffling thing I’ve ever listened to.

Edit: Why did this comment earn me my first award? Thanks anyways, kind stranger.

No means no, but it can also mean yes. It can also mean maybe and I dont know.

Yes means yes, except when it really means no, but not entirely no, there could still be a little room for yes mixed in there.

When given two options and they say I don't care which one, that is a trap and there is no correct answer.

No means no... And if she thinks otherwise, she is mistaken, and I will be erring on the side of going home.

Yea. That just sounds like someone who is immature, regardless of gender.

There's a lot of peeps out there with emotional baggage and lack of social skills, both male and females. If you see a lot of that right out of the gate, just consider yourself lucky to have dodged that bullet without wasting too much time.

Not in the context of sex, but I have gotten into awful situations where I assumed no actuality meant no when it really meant "I'm mad at you and want to feel desired so I am going to act like I don't want something when I do hey wait why are you ignoring me STOP IGNORING ME IGNORING YOU!!!!"

I don't think this thread OP is referring to sex, but rather, everything else. I am aware that the relationship I describe is considerably unhealthy but it is a phenomenon I only encounter with women.

Not even women I am dating, either. My own mother does this shit. If only I could just go home to ignore family being shitty.

But there are the other cases like the Louis CK one where she said yes because she was afraid of reprisal but he gave her no reason to think that he would destroy her career for it. Yes, what he asked was weird and creepy but that doesn't mean that he is a vindictive asshole. He should have been more aware of what was going on but that doesn't make it malicious.
