If they are misconstrued or misread then that's not really her fault is it?

I know what you are saying mate but in my experience it's pretty obvious when a lady indicates and you dont really need a PhD in sign language or human nature to read and understand them

Calm down. We all know that IT-phobes and geek-phobes are basically just closeted IT professionals and geeks. They are just not comfortable with themselves yet.

I don't know....just as there are men that can't interpret signals I think there are some women that are clueless in this realm as well. They send out very mixed signals or get flirty with a guy they aren't interested in or whatever. Not saying it's all women or most or anything, but you do see it.

Who said anything about fault? All I said was that women's signals are easily misconstrued and ultimately mean nothing

Yes I see what your saying and I can see how things could get mixed up or misinterpreted....

However in my experience I've always found it relatively easy and straight forward to recognise and read them..... and most others I know don't really have a problem with it either.

I think the ones that do have trouble with this is mainly down to overthinking things a " was that a smile at me? " , " does she want me to approach? " or " what if she's says no? " ...... Sort of thing.

^^^^ these are natural thoughts I know but instead of panicking many don't just sit back relax and see what's actually happening in front of them.... If you get me mate?

They are not foolproof, but they mean a lot to guys who have the smarts to observe and learn about them. Guys are still going to have to make conversation. Any guy who thinks he doesn't have to take any risks is not going to fare very well.

Yeah, kind supposition based on experience, I guess. I'm not sure what you would consider as proof, though.

You are a guy who has not had any success in dating for something like 4 decades. Maybe you can add your input. Did you have an actively involved dad who had a good relationship with your mother and talked to you about how to have healthy relationships with women?

Why is it that the only thing you gauge manhood on is success in dating? Dating isn't something I worry about. I have plenty of other things to fill my time.

The only guys they mean anything to are the arrogant tools who have fooled themselves into believing they actually are super attractive to women and also think they can have any woman they want.
