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.

    Men cannot afford to go through the process of trial and error to learn to follow hints. The risks from misreading the situation are far too high.

      Uh yeah, they can. That’s exactly how it was done before the Internet. Yes, it’s embarrassing, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

        You misunderstand, he’s one of those guys that thinks he can accidentally rape someone by misreading social cues.
