I’ve heard that guys are blind to seeing the signs that a girl likes him... is that true though?

[jamesgoldman]

Yeah well I certainly used to be and well no one is put out signs now but that is unsurprising given my current situation

I missed signs from my first girlfriend up to and including her giving me her phone number, I have to thank the bully who got me to confess my attraction and was going to use it as ammunition for additional ridicule but that backfired when as I went to hit him, she stopped me and kissed me, the relationship ended when she moved to Poland

I missed even more subtle signs from my second girlfriend as we worked together over the course of a couple of months and whilst I had seen nothing everyone I worked with said she liked me but playground bully stuff remained in my mind so I didn't act on it at all but following a nightcap at her father's place I fell asleep thank to physical exhaustion and the alcohol in my system and woke up to find her giving me head so just let her continue (I honestly think I thought if I startled her then there was a risk she could accidentally bite my dick off) and then we got into a relationship which didn't last when she went to university (kind of thankfully as that would have been a weird story to explain to the grandkids)

This is based on the differences in communication styles between men and women.
Men communicate overtly. What they say is plain and simple, there's no hidden meaning.
Women communicate covertly. They are masters at innuendo and nuance, even at passive-aggressive. Pretty much everything that comes out of their mouth has a hidden meaning or agenda. Guys just don't pickup on this.
So if you want a guy to know something, you have to get his attention and tell him plainly and clearly what you want him to understand. Otherwise he just doesn't get it.
And then you hear the famous, "He just doesn't get me." No honey, he just can't decrypt your innuendo.

It depends. Most guys, yes. Hell, I was very much guilty of this for years. Girls were basically throwing themselves at me with a trebuchet and I was too ignorant to "get it."

Then, I applied myself and learned the many, many signs. Not many problems now. Heck, I can usually tell which female friends are ovulating just by interacting with them. :)

I swear this kind of information should be taught in schools so boys and girls can interact with each other more appropriately and more successfully. It's in the best interests of the species.

[jshm2]

No. You've heard wrong.

While most guys will be looking for "signs" it's often the inexperienced that will fail to pick up on them,

[boggboss]

Not that they are blind to it that most signs mean nothing and women put crazy intentions on silly things

[Ripper_E]

No. Girls just don't know how to communicate and they don't understand that their signs aren't really good.

[infinitybreaker2018]

I'll say yes, cause I can't tell when someone is into me

[I-C3_ME]

Yeah, a girl could kiss me and I'd still be like "does she like me? Nahhhhh... wait does she?" Then i forget about it until i see her again XD

[RHK36]

Guys believe in blunt honesty and straightforwardness. Signs are lazy poor communication. Just be direct and tell him instead of playing games.

[Dave31989]

most of the time

however, usually, it's just us lying to ourselves, to make ourselves feel better

[Juxtapose]

Women are really bad at giving out discernible hints.

[admles]

Girls don't give "signs", they give extremely subtle hints which they THINK are obvious.

[AsDaGask]

Not sure about that but many sure are blind at seeing the signs that a girl does NOT like him.

[Anonymous]

I say young guys are but older mature guys would notice the signs especially those who have dated quite a few girls

[chriscdi]

no we act stupid cause we like to see it

[DavidFox]

Yes, guys don’t pick up on subtle hints

[Gwenhwyfar]

Sometimes, sure

[In_Trance]

a lot of times, yes

[Anonymous]

Definitely true.
