As a man trying to get laid with women, I’m constantly having to play games and lean into patriarchal convention because that is really the only way to be half way successful.

The song and dance is mind numbingly stupid but you have to do it if you want to get your pp touched. Nuke cishet dating from orbit, I need a director’s cut, a rerelease. I’m convinced no one actually likes this.

    What even is flirting? When someone says the kinds of conversation that specifically happens during flirting, laughing at jokes, joking, I think "Oh, so how I talk to literally everyone when it's not a serious moment?"

      Apparently humans are totally incapable of telling when someone is flirting. I just straight say "hi would you like to flirt with me" now bc it's the only way anyonr ever knows.

        I've heard that most people are less than 50% accurate in guessing if someone is flirting or not. Which means flipping a coin, heads, they're flirting, tails, they aren't, would be a more accurate model to determine flirting.
