Comment Re:Or, on the other hand... (Score 1) 825
At a party with a dozen men and a dozen women, a random mix of couples and singles.
Randomly select any female, single or not.
If any man in the room is sexually interested in her, EVERY man in the room knows it, so I think men can interpret non-verbal cues just fine.
Women on the other hand, are VERY conscious of what the other women in the room see and perceive and deliberately conceal intentions. Women are nonstop interpreting body language and other cues and trying understand the intent behind the signals BECAUSE they are aware of their own tendency to be inscrutable ( or in some cases, manipulative lying bitches ).
Men are more like open books, and as a result tend to take someone's words at face value instead of trying to see "behind" them. When a women is mad and you don't know why, this is often the reason. You made some offhand comment, and instead of taking that comment at face value, she works out what you "really" meant, and she didn't like the translation.
