Can women always tell if a man is physically attracted to them?

[Anonymous]

Or are there cases where a man would hide it so well that you couldn't tell at all he liked you?

[Anonymous]

While some men may make it obvious that they are physically attracted to a woman through their behavior, body language, or verbal communication, there are also cases where a man may hide or mask his attraction.

It's important to remember that attraction is a complex and multifaceted experience, and that people may experience it in different ways or express it differently based on their individual personalities, experiences, and cultural backgrounds.

Some men may feel uncomfortable or self-conscious about expressing their attraction, or may be hesitant to do so because of fear of rejection or social stigma. Others may simply be more reserved or introverted, and may not express their attraction in a more overt or obvious way.

Ultimately, it's difficult to know for sure whether someone is physically attracted to you without clear communication or signals. It's important to approach each individual and each situation with an open mind and a willingness to communicate and build mutual respect and understanding. By prioritizing clear and respectful communication, both men and women can create healthy and fulfilling relationships that are based on mutual attraction and respect.

I talk to 99% women on here (in my DM's I mean). Over the years there have been quite a few I've talked to. Before that, I've always had very close female friends.

I can tell you for DAMN sure... that "No. they most certainly cannot"

In fact, they are sometimes bafflingly bad at it. I wouldn't say "most" necessarily... but "many" girls are very bad at this.

I am very confident in this answer. Maybe more than any other answer I've ever given on GAG. 🙂

[CubsterShura]

I can tell.

I post a bunch of stuff on my social media. Other than my own pictures I'm also sharing a lot of rants, memes, my art work etc.

The ones who are simply there for my looks ONLY react/respond to pictures of myself, and more specifically, pictures that show more of my body shape, so they are less likely to react to my photo in a loose tunic dress but they never miss when I upload a picture of me in a body-hugging turtleneck.

Do I mind being seen as attractive or guys liking how I look? No. Do I mind guys caring ONLY about my appearance and NOTHING ELSE AT ALL? Absolutely. I discretely remove them from my accounts because I don't feel comfortable letting them lurk.

[Cynicaldreamer]

I can confirm that I am clueless as hell when a man is physically attracted to me. I tell anyone that if they're interested in me, they better tell me! No flirting, subtly, or hinting because otherwise I will assume he's not interested or attracted to me.

But to answer your question, no. Some of us are dense as hell or just bad at telling when a guy likes us. It's not like most men will come up to us and say, "Hey, you're hot!" I honestly can't remember the last time a guy did that (if ever) to me.

[Heterosketero]

"Just tell me if you want me"!, is the new motto of 2023 lol enough with the street ratings out of 10...

[red324]

Is there anything wrong with straight up telling a girl she's hot? Say there is a cute girl pumping gas next to you and you want her number for a date. Just be like you are so hot lol.

[Heterosketero]

@red324 for sure, she could be thinking the same thing and sometimes it is really just that simple.

[FilmGuy93]

Women are basically clueless when it comes to interacting with men.

[Sasha0426]

Hey! Don’t be attacking me like that 😂 All joking aside, you’re right. I’m painfully clueless.

[FilmGuy93]

@Sasha0426 I always actually thinking about you the other day. You're a decent-looking lady. You could probably pull guys if you had a little more faith in yourself.

[Sasha0426]

Thing is I don’t know what men are thinking when they look at me. And that scares the shit out of me because it’s always something bad.

[FilmGuy93]

@Sasha0426 I mean... I do understand why you make that assumption, but getting away from that mindset would be beneficial. Most men aren't going to think/want bad things for you. Obviously, it only takes one to ruin your life, but that's why the concept of personal boundaries is so important.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

I've tried to convince this Sasha girl 100 times that she could get a man, but all she wants to do is feel sorry for herself and not listen to anyone. It's useless

[Heterosketero]

@Sasha0426 I am painfully oblivious too, constantly told the person I walked away from wanted to get to know me. For me, it is partly self esteem, but the greater part has been the social conditioning of the past decade to not express feelings to women because of HR and PC. I think you look fun, a little eccentric, which I admire. However, we likely do not see eye to eye on politics which seems to be everything in 2023. I can relate to how hard it is to see all of this, the courtship itself is the problem, as in most things assigned an algorithm. I hear organic dating is enjoying a revival though, praise the stars.

[Sasha0426]

@WanderingLoveWizard I really pissed you off, didn’t I? 😅
@FilmGuy93 It wasn’t one, it was a lot

[DermalPunch]

If you know what to look for, there is always a tell. Extreme coldness and silence is a tell. Body position is a tell.

They can seem like they haven't noticed you then you, let's say, stumble every so slightly and they are the first one's with a helping hand like they have telepathy or eyes in the back of their head.

[Texaskid1]

Why extreme coldness and silence?

[Heterosketero]

@Texaskid1 to hide your feelings

[Heterosketero]

Expertise, no doubt. Women also look in refelcrions and peripheral a lot more than men, a survival instinct and a very old one. You ain't as poker face as you think gentlemen.

[DermalPunch]

@Heterosketero LOL. And also interesting. Didn’t know this.

[Heterosketero]

Test it out, women are clever.

[AmyHew1tt]

I don't know if we're clueless, or just trying extremely hard not to read too much into anything. To play it safe I tend to try and believe he isn't, especially if I feel like I'm looking for it, because I can't tell what I'm genuinely picking up on and what's just a desperate to-grow ego.

[ElGato31]

No, I can't tell. There has been 6 guys already, we flirted, touched, spent time together, went on week long holidays together, slept in the same bed cuddling, went on dinner dates, touched more. I thought they were attracted to me. They weren't, I'm cool to hang out with apparently.

[Chelsdope0]

That sucks … that’s confusing🙁

[ElGato31]

@Chelsdope0 yes, so I can't tell who's attracted to me and who just wants to hang out

[thorboy]

and easy

[thatssuppy190]

I would say a lot of men hide that they are physically attracted to a girl because of the fear they have that the girl is getting angry at them for looking at them or finding them hot. But not all of them tho


Men who clearly show that they are physicallt attracted are often the more extroverted ones or the ones who expressivally show their interest because they want someting from you, for example : sex, you being into them or maybe they are crushing on you

[Chelsdope0]

I have trouble figuring out the “extroverted” guys who show direct signs…. Bc I don't know if it’s bc they are actually crushing on me or if they just want sex… even if they aren’t being inappropriate.

It’s hard to know

[WanderingLoveWizard]

I hide it all the time. I don't even know why, I just can't help it.
Especially since so many girls act weird towards guys they know like them. I like to keep them guessing and sometimes make them go out of their way to find out. Which they do lol

[Flower7]

There have been times when I found out that a guy was interested in me and I’d had no idea beforehand.

[Asker]

But did they Really Not Show any Signs? Like prolongued eye contact, wide smiles, staring/glancing or just being Nicer to you Than anyone Else? didn't you have the Impression that they Liked you a Little Bit More Than other women?

[DubiousIntentions]

If you read some of the questions here on G@G, no one seems to know, or they all wouldn't be asking, "What's that mean?"

[SnowedIn]

^^^^^ THIS!

[jennifer_bloom]

I don’t think so, cause I had guys tell me people I thought were friends were secretly trying to date or sleep with me and I never suspected.

[Asker]

Looking back, do you see some signs of attration these guys gave you?

[jennifer_bloom]

There was no indication other than the guy was unusually nice, but I thought he was just a very good person.

[Adam1978]

Most are clueless or can only read a limited amount of men. Because we simply don't act on every person we have interests in. So our actions simply won't tell.

[MrCommodore]

You're using your female profile ATM, in case you meant to send this from a male profile. Sounds like a question a guy would ask.

[LivDev]

No, definitely not. Despite what comedy movies say, we can be just as clueless.

[Asker]

Have you Never noticed some man staring at you a Little Bit too Long or being extra nice to you only?

[LivDev]

I suppose, it's probably not smart to read to deeply into that kinda thing tho :T

[Ms_Facesitter]

I've seen so many "what does it mean when he says/does..." that I can say with confidence that no, we can't always tell.

[rienna888]

well it depends I had guy friends that were attracted to me and I didn’t know till they asked me out

[Asker]

but do See any Signs of Attraction your guy Friends gave you looking back?

[rienna888]

Lol not really I think it’s because they were the unsocial guys. But the social ones will make it obvious.

[serious]

In think in most cases a woman can tell if a man is physically attracted to them or not.

[thorboy]

I hope not and doubt it... because there is a phat booty girl at my work that is a beaut and i'm in love with her, but I act like she doesn't exist.

[TrillXHippy]

If I’m being honest it’ll be a lot easier for you tell if a guy is physically attracted to you than it is for me to tell if a girl is physically attracted to me. Y’all definitely know

[MountAverage]

I hope that's a hyperbolic "always", otherwise this question would be pretty insane.

[UncleBilll]

I normally grab her ass, and kiss her neck, then she knows.

[Anonymous]

No, women intuition isn't really a thing. Most just think they can. I've had as many be wrong about me as right.
