"Men are bad at picking up on women's hints." What are your actual thoughts on this sentiment? (lemmy.world)

Either through memes or comments I keep seeing this sentiment pop-up from time to time. And I'm wondering what your (yes, you) consensus is on it.

I for one am too pessimistic to do anything with potential hints. Like even if there is a good chance I still just don't want to risk it.

Women might be pissed when you approach them, and might insult you, but that's about it, unless you actually assault them.

You were saying? And that’s just one of the first articles in the search results.

Shoo, incels.

Interesting how the first thing you reached for was an ad hominem that is explicitly designed to shut down any conversation by shaming the other person into silence and into compliance with the female supremacist narrative.

Almost as if you had absolutely no viable counter-argument to provide.

Edit: And I am married. 18 years this year, 28 years with the same woman. So I am absolutely ineligible for the incel attribute. I just refuse to ignore uncomfortable facts, and will never bow to anti-reality ideologies.
