      Well, since you just told us it was your 14th anniversary, I'm going to hope that you don't DATE, either.

    I don't know about dumb, maybe oblivious or unobservant or even not-so-confident might be a better way to phrase it.

    I know my husband missed my signals - even the more overt ones for oh, about a decade LOL. He just didn't think it could possibly be true that what I was doing was flirting - seriously flirting. That's a self confidence issue, and he noticed it, but just assumed I was only kidding the entire time.

    As it turned out, I wasn't....obviously
    1. netbobz
      You said that your husband missed your signals. So, you agree that men are dumb?
    2. Anok
      Um, no...actually I said oblivious, and unobservant, and possibly the self esteem gets in the way. In the very first sentence, actually. Not dumb.

      How did you not get that?

    "Men usually think they are the smarter sex. But when it comes to flirting they often prove out to be real dumb or boring dates, should I say? Just don’t overreact, all you men!"

    I can live with that. I guess I shouldn't feel bad that men only invented technology, science, philosophy, art, much of agriculture, and politics.

      Typical male ego! - Won't give up!

      Well, I surrender. I'll just roll over on my back now and let you scratch my tummy.

    If a womans body language was legs 10 to 2 and a smile on the face I would pick up on it
    1. crkian
      In fact thats what the pubs around here are getting like. You walk in and its like a red arrows display
    2. daniel23
      See, I knew you were a cheeky punter.
    3. crkian
      Someone stole my avatar honest
    4. daniel23
      Anok is going to harass you for months to come.
    5. crkian
      Plan A worked then, I was hoping it wouldnt get to Plan B
    6. daniel23
      I really don't want to know....
    7. Anok
      Sorry Daniel, but I save all my harassment just for you

      I do like Chris though.....

    Let me guess, that came from Cosmo? Don't believe all the stuff you read. Women are known for sending "Mixed" signals then blame guys for not picking up on the "Right" frequency. It's 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.
    1. Anok
      Yup Mike, you are dead on. A lot of women play games with their signals too....

      Then again, after reading the article I had to laugh - it stated that women are the smarter sex because they keep using signals that men don't understand.

      Think about that for a second....
    2. ekim941
      If it aint working, you might want to rethink your strategy
    3. Anok
      Exactly

      Of course, the fine print of the article is that woman are more observant and able to read body language better, which is what they were getting at.

      But still...perhaps the author should have rephrased it a bit LOL!
    4. ekim941
      I doubt that. I've been on plenty of dates that I would have gnawed my arm off to get away from. They never seemed to pick up on it
    5. Anok
      It's more likely that they just ignored your subtle attempts at ditching them....I mean honestly, being thrown from a moving car doesn't really mean he doesn't like you
    6. ekim941
      Oh snap! I thought that was foreplay
    7. Anok
      That bring a whole new meaning to "roll in the sack"
  5. Donlewis
    Sure. Women were always missing my signals. I's say "Let's go have sex.", and they'd either run away or throw up. I can't see how I could have been more obvious.
    1. Anok
      Best....response....yet.....

      So sweet, so cute....and wears a kilt.

      Yup, you're a keeper
    2. ekim941
      Next time, say it while naked.
    3. netbobz
      You are too outright, Donlewis! Try it out next time by being a little flirty and romantic. Anok can surely guide you!

    4. Anok
      No way I wouldn't change a single thing about Don It's his straight-forwardness that I like. Well, that and his kilt.

    I would not say men are dumb on dates. How is a guy supposed to understand women when I don't even understand women and last time I checked I am one. Guys know where they stand with me and they will definitely get my signals!
  7. techmartini
    I don't understand


    In our place ( Kerala) woman are like doves. I don't know what they have in their mind. Maybe they are waiting for a chance to break their shells and come out.
  8. DocNicole
    What! I am supposed to seduce someone...I don't think so...LOLOLOL
    1. crkian
      Equal rights?
    2. carlgalloway
      if your avatar is any indication of your real life look I'd imagine you never need to worry about seducing anyone, well, unless all the guys who chat you up are losers...
    3. ekim941
      @Bloggerexposed, I had similar blackouts. Woke up to jumper cables, a turkey baster and the smell of toast. Nine months later I'm paying child support
    4. TheBloggerExposed
      Ouch. Are you sure it wasn't just the tequila?
  9. earthandeconomy
    We're just simple cavemen...

    1. netbobz
      Any comment on this photo, Anok?

    2. TheBloggerExposed
      This may explain my random blackouts, which oddly preceded the birth of each of my children by approximately nine months.

      And to think, all this time I believed the virgin Mary story. Did Joseph happen to carry a big stick?
    3. Anok
      Love it
  10. BlueSunshine
    My crystal ball is broken, sorry ladies.

    if man are dumb, women live in a care bear world and are looking for guy thats do not even exist
  12. RTBjr73
    Men ARE dumb in this department, so I decided not to keep being dumb, but tweaked my thinking (yeah, it hurt for awhile).I got smart years ago when it came to women flirting. If a guy THINKS she is flirting she is probably just being friendly, ladylike, and nice. If she comes up to you and basically says, hey, you are going to go have a drink/dinner with me, meet me here...then THAT is flirting.
    1. TheBloggerExposed
      Or so we have you believe.

    As soon as we repeal the right of women to vote, and countenance return of the stoning of witches, the better off society will be.
  14. DonaldSwarbrick
    You have picked the wrong men so who is dumb.
    You will change your mind when you meet the right one.
