Redvelvet709,
So if you are not the kind of woman who makes men read your mind I suppose that when you see a guy out there that you like, you walk up to him, break the ice, start a conversation, etc. and later on, once you feel comfortable, you ask him out on a first date, right? Instead of sending him signals, body language, messengers, cues, and so on.

"Patty Keene was stupid on purpose, which was the case with most women in Midland City. The women all had big minds because they were big animals, but they did not use them much for this reason: unusual ideas could make enemies, and the women, if they were going to achieve any sort of comfort and safety, needed all the friends they could get.
So, in the interests of survival, they trained themselves to be agreeing machines instead of thinking machines. All their minds had to do was to discover what other people were thinking, and then they thought that, too."


(Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions, 1973)

I think there is confusion sometimes between being able to read her mind and just being considerate. If you give a woman two choices for dinner and she says I don't care and then she gets mad because you didn't choose what she wanted, then that's her fault. She shouldn't expect you to read her mind and pick the one she really wants, she should just say I prefer this.

On the other hand, if I'm having a bad day it would be nice for the guy to say hey are you okay. I know guys don't always pick up cues like other woman do, but a little bit of intuition would be nice sometimes. Or, if the woman says do I look okay? You're supposed to say, you look fantastic! Haha!
