Fucks signs, fuck everything that's not clear communication made of words that carry your intended meaning

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 17 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Could it be that “signs” are meant to hedge one’s bets? It doesn’t expose you as much if the other party isn’t interested.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 6 points 3 days ago

Right, just like it's inappropriate for a guy to go up to a random woman, or even a familiar woman in a friendly setting and just say "hey you wanna fuck?" it's also inappropriate in the other direction. That's why you use an escalating series of verbal and non verbal cues to gauge interest first before you commit fully.

Yea, I think so.

Could be, but that's immature and unattractive. You're better off not throwing in with someone who's unwilling to be vulnerable

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Right but the people who are mature, attractive, and clear and up front about their feelings tend not to stay single for very long.

That's why you need to add "polyamourous" to the list of criteria.

That may be great for some people but not for me!
