I KNOW I'm going to catch a lot of crap for this thread but the new threads really got me thinking like the one about the wink and the one about the guy being friendly.

The women posting these just seem desparate to me. Here is why. I am a woman, if a guy looks at me and smiles, or winks or is overly friendly - the last thing I think is that he's "interested" in me LOL I mean seriously - I'm a very confident woman so maybe that has something to do with it but I've had friends telling me that a guy is flat out flirting and I never notice.

Are some women just so overly lacking self confidence that they turn simple gestures into "omg, he must really want me"!

Just curious what my CD friends think...

I think it largely depends on the "hotness" of the guy.

It has nothing to do with being a woman. Lots of people in general are clueless about social cues. There are plenty of men who think that the waitress or cashier is totally into them because she smiled and said, "have a nice day!"

Are women becoming desparate?

Based on the guys I see most of my female friends with, I'm gonna have to say 'yes.'

I have no idea when people are flirting lots of times. OR I just ignore it. LOL I'm a snob.

I don't think that is gender specific.

Agree. There is an element of lack of self-confidence as well as probably a shy lady being hopeful and wanting some reassurance.

You know, considering what's going on out there, I'm not that hard on desperation, but yes, some women do go too far...

Ha-ha, exactly! If he's hot, he's confident and interesting; if he isn't, he's a needy creep. Well, it is what it is... It's not like I don't do it myself.

Same here. Can't tell you how many guys are delusional, thinking a woman is madly in love with them simply because she said hello. It cuts both ways.

I thought sierra was madly in love with me and that's why she always would rep me.
