Men have very selective hearing. No matter what most women say it comes out "Sex, More Sex and do me now"

Well if you are going to have selective hearing why let a little thing like reality get in the way

" Men have Selective hearing??" ...Someone smoked another bowl again?..hmmmmm?? lol..

Some of us get a hint when it is given..IF..it is given..and move onto the next opportunity..we do not beg..or distort reality..

The truth about the reality of it all is a man may be flogged for speaking of similar phrase to the women in the village..this i don't quite get..

the trouble with womens' hinting is that it's often WAY too subtle.

nobody on earth can possibly understand it ?
i bet even women don't understand each other's hints !!

a man will hint for sex by appearing naked in the doorway and saying " hey babe, it's business time!"

a woman will hint for sex by wearing a different deodorant, or by leaving the kitchen door ajar, or leaving her glasses on the table in a certain way.
maybe she'll wear "that" special eye liner.
ok, these are extremes, but men will get this !

the trouble for men is that while one woman's "sex hints" are the above, these could mean the exact opposite for another woman.

there is no universal language.
perhaps if all women were manufactured with an operating system, then at least we'd understand them more.

don't get me wrong, individuality is great, but us men get hated on when we get it wrong. trouble is, we're playing a game which the rules can change every few seconds !!

Not for me. Even the slightest smallest most subtle hint that a woman is not interested in me, then I'm gone. I don't even wait around to be "officially rejected". I hate the concept that men are trying way too hard to win a woman over. If a woman doesn't show any interest in me, then why continue and waste my time.

All those list of excuses are made cos some men are thick as pig ****e and don't understand that no is no. And that's half the problem with men. They ask out women whom they do not even know yet. Why? - Befriend them first, get to know them first, converse, hang around as friends and get to know her real character and analyse whether she is girlfriend material or not. And also see if she shows interest in you. It's not that hard. It takes more time, but it's a much better way than what men do now.

The list is pretty funny. As usual, someone has to come in and turn it into a "the problem with women".

As it applies to this list, what is there to "understand"? This is just another example of how pitifully some of you process rejection.

10. I think of you as a brother.
(I'm not attracted to you.)

9 There's a slight difference in our ages.
(I prefer someone closer to my age)

8 I'm not attracted to you in 'that' way.
(I'm not attracted to you in 'that' way)

7 My life is too complicated right now.
(I have a lot going on right now and it wouldn't be fair to you to get you involved)

6 I've got a boyfriend
(I've got a boyfriend)

5 I don't date men where I work.
(I don't date men where I work)

4 It's not you, it's me.
(It's not you, it's me, really.)

3 I'm concentrating on my career.
(You will come second to my career and I don't want the maintenance that comes with having a man)

2 I'm celibate.
(Definitely steer clear of this one, she's likely had man troubles or has devoted her life to God -either way, she's probably being honest)

1 Let's be friends. (Let's be friends.) If you can't handle her talking to you about other men, DON'T BE HER FRIEND.

I'm sure some women want to be sensitive to the male ego and will sugarcoat it, but the bottom line is they don't want you and it is abundantly clear.

Imagine that.

Of course, when you are dealing with extremes.

Really, I don't get how some of you play brain dead with so much conviction. You're like a bunch of parrots mimicking each other, patting one another on the back and hi-fiving to this bobblehead thinking. More comedy for us gals.

^ can't argue against any of that. People will use subtle signs so they don't come across as overly harsh, but many people can't take no for a no.
