Studies discovered out common knowledge - Guys suck at reading girls’ signals
Don’t say I warn you gentlemen. I know we tried to keep this secret to just the common bond of men, but unfortunately, our ineptness has been discovered. That’s right ladies. We, as guys, really do suck at reading what girls are trying to say. And don’t think it’s the, “he thinks my friendliness is flirting.” Nope, according to this study, and it correlate to what we already know, guys can sometime mistaken flirtiness for friendliness as well. So you see, it works both way. Don’t believe me? Follow the jump to see some highlights of this recent study.
“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.
