There's a whole range of reactions - from extremely positive to extremely negative. Women are fully capable of the whole range and that includes neutral. What's happening here is women are proactively giving off false positives. They're going beyond being polite. Being polite in this situation would be neutral or not being negative. Example: "I love to eat paper. Her: "Hmm.. I see". That's polite. When she smiles and nods and says something like: "You eat paper? I bite my nails sometimes." That's something else.
There ARE people that do eat non-food items (she even said, she knew someone who ate dirt). It's a medical condition called Pica. There are folks that have ticks (Touretets Syndrome) as well.
A lot of the other issues presented as mental health issues. I'd never call out someone for their behavior without knowing whether or not they had some kind of diagnosis. We have the benefit of knowing that this was a prank...however sitting face-to-face is a lot different. I'd likely do the same thing, smile and nod and try not to make the other person feel awkward or uncomfortable.
The criminal...yeah...wouldn't touch that one either. I'd do exactly what she did, smile and nod and crack a few jokes and then decline if he is interested.
This propensity to act understandingly breeds distrust. When a woman is behaving a certain way - as a man I have to ask myself - is she acting? Can I spot something off in her performance? Is her outside reflecting her inside? And if not, why would she act? What are her motives? Should I act back? Etc, etc, etc And then women say they don't like games
I wouldn't send her encouraging signals like smiling and nodding and pretending to relate. That's for sure.
People smile and nod and such when they are nervous too. So I am curious, what would you do? And how do you know what you would do hasn't been edited out because it's not interesting? For example, if a woman ignored the behavior, it's not going to make for a very interesting video, is it?
If you don't like the kind of behavior in the videos, don't date those kinds of women (you wouldn't be a good match). There are plenty of aggressive, direct, etc kinds of women out there too.
They're behaving like this to be "nice"? Hmm. I don't think that's it. They're misrepresenting the way they're actually feeling. I don't think they're doing that "to be nice to the guy". I'm certain the main reasons for this behavior are primarily self-serving such as conflict-avoidance, etc. Most of what humans do is self-serving. If the guy is not very attuned to body language/etc then he might actually think a girl likes him (or at least neutral) given reactions like this - while in actuality she can't wait to get the f away from him.
I guess the bottom line for guys is women are great actors. What they're displaying on their "outside" can be the exact opposite of how they're feeling on the "inside". The countermeasure is getting really good at reading body language/facial expressions.

This is generally what's happening all the time. Women play games. It's in their nature. Just don't take it too seriously and you'll be okay.
Also, don't listen to what a woman says. Watch her actions.
