 Men have no idea how low the bar can be. 😂

They're all trying the "act like an aloof, cheating arse to get da chicks" angle, so one guy can stop you in your tracks by bringing you some tea or opening the door, or remembering your birthday. 
 The best were the guys who would open with put-downs. Never got a compliment, just one put-down, after another, cuz they think they're Mr. Super Sly and they're the first one to try that Game, even though they're all reading the same writers.

You look like Halle. If she were short and chubby and not as hot...

You'd be better as a blonde. Not hot, but a bit better.

Your contacts are very convincing.

Dude, that's the third time I've heard that this week. 🙄 
 the way people's minds have been messed up is incredible

but my experiences with women have mostly been about them hovering around me and then i notice them and think "hmm she likes me, she's ok" and then usually the play fighting starts 
 They do that on here, too. First time they communicate with me is usually something nasty or mean, or some accusation. 
 too little context for any meaningful analysis 
 Don't need context. Can watch it in real time. 
 The little things matter, gents.

 Makes me wonder how people got to thinking that the bar is high in the first place. Also, the "aloof prick" strategy doesn't attract the best women 
 women always give the signal, usually, simply paying attention to you, and making excuses to be around you

oh, all sorts of excuses, you'll hear every kind if you have ever had a lady warm up to you

there's no craft or trick to it, they sniff you out and they are magnetised

it's almost never about symbols or signals, it's usually unconscious and pheromones

drugs of all kinds mess it up though, be it alcohol making them more overconfident or hormones making them unable to smell properly, or even them having practise and knowing to stay aloof because they had drugs 
 It's cuz they're all hitting on the same small subset of women, and those women are justifiably annoyed by it. 
 I have female friends and relatives in that category and you can just watch men line up to get knocked down, trying more and more complex psychological tricks and frantically strategizing.
