Cool Clueless Guys Can't Read Women

Clueless Guys Can't Read Women
3/20/08
Quote:
More often than not, guys interpret even friendly cues, such as a subtle smile from a gal, as a sexual come-on, and a new study discovers why: Guys are clueless.

More precisely, they are somewhat oblivious to the emotional subtleties of non-verbal cues, according to a new study of college students.

"Young men just find it difficult to tell the difference between women who are being friendly and women who are interested in something more," said lead researcher Coreen Farris of Indiana University's Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences.


This "lost in translation" phenomenon plays out in the real world, with about 70 percent of college women reporting an experience in which a guy mistook her friendliness for a sexual come-on, Farris said.


Some might think the results come down to "boys being boys," and so even the slightest female interest sparks sexual fantasy. But the study, to be detailed in the April issue of the journal Psychological Science, also found that it goes both ways for guys - they mistake females' sexual signals as friendly ones. The researchers suggest guys have trouble noticing and interpreting the subtleties of non-verbal cues, in either direction.


The study's funding came from the National Institutes of Mental Health and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

LOL
After this post I am starting to doubt Cybergals sources
Because this surely does not apply to any of the guys on this forum

But seriously when I get a wink and a smile it doesn't automatically mean she wants me? Darn!!!!

Oy vey!

That's it, I'm just gonna stay single until some woman comes up to me with a club and a ring. You want me, you're gonna have to make the first move.

Meanwhile, my right hand and internet porn will suffice.

All BS aside, I can see how the young guys would find this difficult at times, it seems like there are allot of aggressive females out there nowadays. I don't recall them being that way back when I was in school.

I had to laugh at this because it is basically what I did with my husband. He was single for 17 years after his first marriage failed, and he had just given up on finding a good woman as he found women to be manipulative and "downright scary," though he was looking for them in bars (probably not the best place to look for a "good, Christian woman."). We had dated in high school so we knew each other pretty well to start with as we entered each other's lives as adults. I asked him out and it took me only about 2 weeks to fall for him completely again, 4 weeks for us to move in together, and 9 months for us to get married. His friends could not believe he had finally gotten married again, and when they asked him why he always says "Because she told me to." After we had lived together for just a few weeks I told him I was not living with him forever, that he WOULD marry me or I'd move on, and he was happy to oblige. Four years later I am still amazed that in 17 years some woman did not snatch him up - he is a prize, and he feels the same about me. When the right one comes along there is no stopping it. I hope the right one comes along for you with that club and ring.

It seems odd, that a study like this would be released so soon as another related study.

Of course, that study found that the average 17-28 year old male, gets it.

The study claimed that the guys were prone to sit in front of the TV and play video games, rather than mingle with the opposite sex.

Reason: The ladies spew comments about being mis-treated, unwanted sexual advances, impolite/rude male conterparts.

The younger guys say they get it. The women just want to be left ALONE. So they would just rather play video games. Rather than ask a woman out on a date.

I'm stepping out of line here...ladies cover your eyes.

My wife IS my best friend. But, our first encounter...was a hook-up. For both of us.

Many a life long partnership were founded on a simple "sexual advance". And I don't need a bunch of people with PHD's telling me that I went about it wrong...cuz I misread a womans intentions.

And any idiot that thinks a smile is an invitation for sex. Is an idiot...plain and simple. And lord knows we have HUGE segment of the USA that fall into that catagory...male AND female.

Clue

Ok i have to respond to this. I have just come out of my 4th marriage. It lasted 15 years and we knew each other for 30 days when we got married. I mean actually 30 days i met her in Portland OR on a Sat night and left town on a Tues morning. 30 days later i returned to Portland and married her. Now we are divorced but its not a bad thing we still talk and get along we just can't live together any more. We grew apart. Now that i am 52 years old and looking around i find it so hard to tell whether a women is really interested or are they just flirting. You gals have got to give us a clue remember we are the slow dumb one of the species. Hit us over the head and say i am interested don't be so coy and play the head games especially at my age the only game i want to play involve cards or dice or maybe a bedroom. I am scared about what some one said about reuniting with an old high school sweet heart though. I am not far from reuniting with an old high school friend we never dated each other only we dated friends of each others sort of. But its strange how after 35 years of not seeing some one you are scared to revisit the past that far back afraid of what it mite bring up but we will see how it goes in about 30 days when we see each other again in person after 35 years and a couple of months of talking on the phone and emails and chatting online and exchanging emails you never know. But please girls give us hard headed and dumb men a clue as to what you really mean.
