I would definitely say men, women that aren't interested in men aren't typically nice to them, so when a girl is nice to a guy, he can easily percieve it as flirting.
But some people are nice to everyone regardless of gender. I am... I take to anyone in public cuz I'm friendly
Oh definitely men. I've seen SOOO many guys mistake basic politeness for flirting
Yeah see I've seen that too
It’s a common thing amongst both genders pretty evenly in my opinion. But I think men are more likely to act on that misunderstanding than women are especially when women who pick up on these things easier are more likely to take advantage of the situation without saying anything. I believe ladies will conceal their feelings in fear of being wrong or rejected but on the other hand will sense the reverse and play to their advantage.
How does one know when it’s flirting?
That's a toughie! I think we both do. Especially when we are desperate 😅
We like to imagine that things are better than the signals they put off. But to be fair, we do get signals confused quite a bit too 😅
I'd say it's pretty equal. Both seem to turn it into an attention grab a lot.
👍👍
I think there is enough blame to go around. I have had girls think I was flirting when all I did was compliment them on a new hairstyle or something.
True true
Men by far , @Unit1 gives a good summary of primarily why. I am neither friendly or flirty towards strangers , polite , but neutral. Also the UK is not exactly the " land of smiles " either , esp Greater London & SE England
Most men for sure, sometimes when I talk to a guy even when I'm just being nice or he's the one who approaches me he always thinks I'm "hitting" on him even though I'm just trying to have a normal conversation.
That might be more that he is hoping you are.
Definitely men mistaken friendliness to flirting. Unfortunately for women, they have to watch how they say what they say or be accused of being a tease or a bitch.
That's true
Men definitely mistake friendliness for flirting more, but part of the blame is on women for being too vague about their feelings towards a guy. A woman could simply say "I'm just being friendly, I'm not flirting" but they don't say that. Men on the other hand will typically tell a girl if they're putting them in the friendzone right away.
Girls need to learn how to communicate better instead of assuming men are psychic mind readers.
Hmm another flirting question, for me it depends who I’m flirting with and why.
if I’m actually after someone, there is no misunderstanding.
in general it’s a 50/50 I think.
Most likely men. But also me 😂😂😂 I'm super oblivious.
😂😂
Men do this far more often. Most guys are convinced a girl has a crush on them if the girl merely smiles at them.
Not sure! I like flirty women but unless there is a clear sign to move things to the next level, I just assume that they are friendly and enjoy the banter! I expect that they will do the same! :-)
👍👍
Studies show that men overestimate the amount of interest women have in them more than women.
I think most women question his intentions enough to think “he’s probably just being friendly”. I think a lot of men just assume that if a woman is friendly that she’s into him.
I always go with assumption that a women is just being friendly
👍👍
It’s served me well so far
although if a women were flirting with I don’t know if I would recognize it
Lolol
I am glad my honesty is so funny
I won’t be answering any more of your questions!
Sorry wasn't trying to offend. I probably wouldn't either why I laughed. But that's cool if you don't wanna answer my questions.. sorry if you took that the wrong way 🤷🏼♀️
there wasn’t any other way to take a comment like that
and apology accepted
I would say women more... as they are more emotional to men.. but it does go both ways..
Yeah I think both can mistake intentions.. I do think men do it more tho, or least cuz I experience that more maybe🤷🏼♀️
Let me know when you want to release a Podcast :P
Oh, most definitely men! Just look what happens here, as soon as you show the slightest bit of friendship to guys, the sexting requests come. I’m glad the guys who are my established friends, here now know the difference.
Yeah ummm definitely 100% men. Just yesterday a girl I work with came up close to me and said she told the boss that she put her 2 weeks in. I was thinking she totally likes me. 😂 even tho she’s got a kid and i think is in a stable relationship. But I think so many people like me everyday just by being friendly
