Do most men admire women from afar without making their feelings clear?

there's men I've never even been that close too before and barely spoken too which have me questioning this as years later ill usually find out they liked me or they'll do something that gets me wondering.

I used to work with a northern Irish man and i could never understand what he was saying 🤣 one time after a conversation he came back and said "im really sorry if I offended you earlier" I said "Lee i don't have a clue what your saying half the time so you definitely didn't do anything to offend me"

Years later my colleagues were talking about Lee after he left for another company and they were telling me "oh you were the one that got away" I said "what are you talking about?" Said Lee had a massive crush on me and even asked me out multiple times 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I had no idea mainly because I could never understand him but secondly because he never gave off that impression.

I used to work with all men when I worked here and I was the only female. I was having a relationship with another colleagues back then which was pretty toxic and when it ever came up in conversation with other colleagues they'd say stuff like "why dont you date such and such, he likes you" id be like no he doesn't he doesn’t even talk to me.

There was another time more recently at my most recent work place. Its a massive company with lots of young single men and an older male colleagues came up to me right in front of this other male colleague and said "what do you think of him, do you think he's good looking, would you date him?"

Id never even spoken to the guy and he was getting really embarrassed so I asked the other guy to stop and said i don't discuss them sorts of things in the workplace. He turn around to him and said "sorry i tried"

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled

And paced upon the mountains overhead

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

I don't admire women. They all play head games and show nothing but disrespect towards men in any way they can. I just went through this yesterday at work with a female truck driver I've known for the past two months, that I attempted to befriend. Not to mention, numerous women in the past.

Yes, most do. Men, not all but most seem to be vague at the best of times.

I can only assume that there will be those who do.

Thank you for the MHO.

Depends what you mean by admire. Men find roughly 40 to 60% of women attractive. But that doesn't mean that automatically makes him want to date her. If she's interesting, intelligent, caring, etc. Then a guy may be moved to want to ask her out. But maybe she's shone ZERO interest in him. Well why would her ask her out then? That's not admiring from a far. That's just recognizing a what a package someone is. But knowing this is wear it stops until she shows similar interest.

Women do the same thing. I had a girl tell me something similar after I left a retail job after 2 years. Unless a girl speaks to me first, I will assume she isn't interested. That could change if I like her enough, but that rarely happened.
