What does a man mean when he says "I can read you like a book"?

[Anonymous]

He is an acquaintance.

[Nobodyherebutme]

It means he full of shit. Men can't read women anymore than they can read the Voynich Manuscript.

[Asker]

LOL. Why is he even saying this to me then? He has said it multiple times.

[Nobodyherebutme]

I can't know for sure, but men are generally arrogant and pretentious creatures, especially around women. That's because they're either trying to impress them or belittle them.

[Asker]

In that case its probably belittling. he's belittled me before out of nowhere and so have many other guys so this wouldn't be a surprise. Very hurtful.

[Nobodyherebutme]

Well then just leave him in the dust. Find friends and acquaintances that appreciate you.

[slatyb]

It means he's arrogant but full of shit.

[Asker]

Agreed. I guess he can't think of a better way to connect with women.

[slatyb]

Hi, how's it going has always worked for me.

[Asker]

They say that too but aftetwards its all a bunch of negging, gaslighting, flattery mixed in at times. Mostly belittling.

[slatyb]

So they ask but don't stop to listen to the answer? That doesn't work. Listening and paying attention has worked for me.

[Asker]

They pay attention and then use everything I say and my body language to neg me into oblivion and belittle me.

[slatyb]

They aren't having a conversation. They think they are playing a game. Gross.

[Asker]

Goos point. I'm an object to them.

[FilmGuy93]

That's kind of weird. He's saying that he just intuitively "gets" you. He can predict what you'll do, how you'll react, etc...

[Asker]

Yeah I don't know why he would say that. A

[FilmGuy93]

Maybe he thinks you are really easy to figure out?

[Siren777]

He has been analyzing you and knows you by your body language, mannerisms etc some people are very perceptive.

[Asker]

I don't know what there is to really analyze. I don't try to trick or hurt others.

[Ironic_Method]

That he's an arrogant tool.

[Asker]

Oh really? Not sure why he would think or say that.
