Men. don't. take. hints.

Guys. Need. Clear. Cues.

Maybe your problem is that you're giving them "hints" and "clues" instead of just telling them. Real life is not a Nancy Drew story. People are not going to go looking through random crap in order to find clues to puzzles they don't know exist.

Try to be clear, and concise in your communication instead of expecting people to take your hint. Its hella codependent to expect people to to read your mind.

I'm a guy and it's true.

Subtle hints don't work.
Normal hints don't work.
Heavy hints don't work.
Blatant hints don't work.

Just be straight up with us. If you like us, tell us. If you don't, tell us.

My adherence to my standards still makes me miss certain categories of women's clues.

Her: So, do you come here often?

Me: Yes I’m afraid so. I have a drinking problem.

Her: Well, it’s my first time here. I must say, so far I am beginning to like it.

Me: Oh. Well, I am not the waiter, in case that’s what you were thinking.

Her: Of course you’re not. But that doesn’t mean you can’t serve me.

Me: I am afraid it does. They are very strict about who gets behind the counter.

Her: I tip generously.

Me: Should I call a waiter?

Her: Forget the waiter. Tell me, so, what’s your name, handsome?

Me: No, it’s not hansom, it’s Nelson.

Her: Is there a Mrs Nelson?

Me: No, women don’t take to me for some reason. I just can’t seem to ever get any attention from them. No matter what I do.

Things are getting desperate now. She thinks I'm not clicking. Time to spell it out.

Her: Nelson, would you like to have sex?

Yeah, but with who?

Clingy isn't a male thing. Some people are just like that.

Let's get this out of the way first, not all men are clingy. If we were to analyse the human population and their cultural/religious beliefs followed by texts throughout history, men are more often the opposite. In modern day society it's encouraged that males be more open about their feelings instead of following the old "be a man and deal with it" mentality which lead to many suicides over the generations. There are often reasons as to why guys are clingy too such as:

1. He's worried that you might breakup with him
2. He thinks you're into someone else
3. You're the only source of his happiness
4. He's going through some emotional problems and needs your support
5. He Has Serious and Deeper Emotional Problems, Like Abandonment
6. You're Pushing Him Away, So He Becomes More Clingy

We live in a society where men are continuously reminded that sometimes we give attention when it was not wanted. We are told stories by women how they were just being nice and smiling and having fun and suddenly the guy would assume that's flirting and things would get uncomfortable. And I'm not saying catcalling on the street and giving massage to your friend is the same thing. Neither am I saying that there's no difference between being nice and flirting. But sometimes we are in situations between these two and when the woman is being indirect with what she wants she leaves it to us to categorize her behaviour. And we start overthinking. We start asking ourselves: what if we are mistaken?

Look, sometimes we are simply clueless, that's true. And sometimes we do get it and go for it.

But sometimes we are a bit unsure. And in those situations most of us would rather be clueless than creepy. It's just the better brand of idiocy.

Haha me, clingy, I don’t think we all are.

Just a hunch 😂

I’ve had plenty of experience with men being clingy bitches but also some have taken hints quite well so I guess it depends on the guy.

imagine a world where women are direct and to the point insteada makin two sentences into 15 paragraphs replete with carefully coded sherlock holmes style clues as to what theyre thinkin

It depends on the person. Some are alright, some are idiots.

More like Men WON’T Take Hints; they just choose not to and instead pester or subtly intimidate or guilt you until they get their way or until you snap at them to leave you alone. Then they act innocent, like they didn’t know what they were doing and blame you, saying you’re acting crazy for no reason, to make you pity them. They’re just manipulative.

I'm the opposite, I get needy af chicks that can't take a clue.

Cause they are DICK THINKERS

Guys. Need. Clear. anus.

I’m a guy who wants to die alone

Dude, guys don't "take hints" because if they just assume you're flirting and go in for a kiss or to 'seal the deal' they'll be accused of thinking with their dick or attempting sexual assault.

We double check because some women are toxic that way.

Most men don't take hints because most women play games and hard to get. It has conditioned men to play the game and chase. You reap what you sow.

Not all men are dumb though. I'm the opposite... I've missed a lot of connections because I refuse to chase women. It is degrading to act desperate.

"Hi"

"Ew why are you talking to me?"

"Ok bye"

"Why dont they get my ClUeS"

Hints have to be clear... or y'know... not use hints at all and speak your mind.

I really hate the guessing game... I come home, girlfriend is being quiet and slightly moody. I ask what's up in a normal tone and she says "Nothing!" and looks away.
I asked a simple question, I'm not psychic to know what goes on inside a woman's head (and I don't think I wanna know... scary place)

Honestly, playing the guessing game with a woman is worse than trying to figure out a problem with your car when you get a check engine light, but no other indicator. Everything seems fine, car runs normally, but there is still a problem. So you gotta use all your resources to find out what's wrong. Sadly automotive diagnostic computers don't work on women...

Alright, fine... have it your way then. I'll get a beer and relax in front of the tv like I do normally. Then you get even more angry until you start screaming hysterically that you've had a really bad day at work, or that I forgot that today was the day, where 2 years ago we randomly bumped into each other and we went out on a date...
How dafuq am I supposed to know this shit?! I've had arguments with my girlfriend, cause she had a bad day at work and I didn't notice and wasn't as supportive as she expected me to be.

When I have a bad work day, I show it. I toss the keys loudly after I come in, my girlfriend can see I'm in a bad mood, she asks what's up and I share what's on my mind. "Oh man, today work was shit, problem after problem... "

When you are still dating, it's even worse. Oh she flipped her hair... Does it mean she's ready, or she's just adjusting her hair. She's putting on lipstick, is it time to make out, or is she just re-applying lipstick for the sake of looking good.

Communication is key! That's why humans have a larynx!
They use it to make special noises that are called speech to signify what they want, think, love, fear, hate, feel etc...

I've found my girl and I hope I never have to play the dating game again!

What hints?

Yeah some guys. Ive stopped replying to some and they just keep texting, or repeatedly said i'm busy or can't see him my schedule is just completely booked a good while forward and he still keeps trying. That's not all men though, there's desperate men just like there's desperate women.

I'm a guy, and I agree for a lot of us. I'm stupid at taking hints.
