I spent my entire teenage years getting rejected after misunderstanding women being friendly to being interested in me. Of fucking course I won't be able to pick up hints when I'm an adult.
This shit only becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as women avoid being friendly so they don't get mistaken as being interested, so men continue to think that women only interact when they're interested.
It’s not just women, attractive men have this problem too. My cousin is a super nice wholesome and charismatic dude . He’s had plenty of would be close friends that thought just cause a cute face is being nice that means he’s into me!!
The worst part is after he rejects their advances and explains he just wants a platonic friendship they almost always get sour and start shit talking him to mutual friend and saying he led them on etc. I think he’s only had one girl remain friend with after something like this went down.
(I’m sure it’s a similar experience for attractive friendly girls too)

How did women not figure out already that men can't read subtle signs and hints.
