I’ve (38F) mostly had male friends for the past 20 years, so I’ve been exposed to a lot of the ways men think. I find myself still legitimately shocked at what I see, hear about, or be on the receiving end of pertaining to what a man will think is flirting. One of my best friends keeps getting used and tricked by women for years, or they’ll just want to be friends. He’ll show me messages from women and ask my opinion if they’re flirting, and I think nearly every time, they weren’t and it was obvious to me. I’ve found this also often to be the case with plenty of other male friends telling me stories about interactions with women. As for myself being involved, I’m a very kind and friendly person by nature no matter their gender, age, race, sexual orientation, filthy rich or homeless. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you how many times a man thought I was flirting when it couldn’t have been further from the truth. What logic do men use to verify if a woman was likely flirting? submitted by /u/crazygirlyjax
