Smiles
Winks
Leaning in close pretending that you can't hear
Touching the woman's arm or hand.
Helping them out(carrying items)
Accidently bumping into them.
Touching a knee
Hand on the shoulder or back
This is nothing new.
I used to be much friendlier...but it got to be constant b.s. with men thinking I was "into" them, & having to deal w/ that.....I quit being so nice
This is sad. What a sad world, if this is the norm.

My younger sister said that's one of the reasons she tries not to go out of her way to be friendly with guys because they might take it as a sexual advance
men are like dogs, women are like cats...men are much much easier -also, men dont get offended
if approached
not a level playing ground
Yeah, most men are totally polite and nice to unattractive or fat women when they approach and make a move on them. Yep, total gentleman
Regardless, I think women can approach a man and see him as only a friend, I don't know if most men have that same ability. Like many men on this forum have said, if I'm not banging her there's no reason to be her friend. I think that's why they assume any type of attention from a woman automatically means she's interested in him sexually, because he's projecting. The only reason HE would talk to a woman is if he's sexually attracted to her so he simply thinks the same is true with a woman approaching him.

Same here. I used to be very outgoing and friendly. I geniunely enjoyed people, which I still do, but now I am much more controlled in demeanor and much more mindful about my interactions with others. Sometimes, if you make yourself "too available", you end up attracting all sorts of drama that otherwise wouldn't have found you. I might come across a little on the aloof or uncaring side now, but I'd rather have that wall up initially and fend off the drama than keep the wall down and have to get the drama OUT of my life.
Theres also allot of women who dont know when a man is just being friendly or is hitting on them.
Some women think if you simply look at them you are hitting in them.
I am a friendly casual talker and I tend to smile at everyone. I have seen women (some I am not even attracted to) interpret it as flirting.
a lonely guy is hoping any female contact will lead to a better life. 50 years ago we were not so hard on a sailor with a weekend pass.
