This is like saying common sense is common.
It isn't. And we can't expect people to know everything so sometimes we have to use words.
I have no idea how that is anything like saying common sense is common. That did not address what I said. Someone has failed in some aspect of this communication. Since it may have been me, I'll try rephrasing.
Do you talk to people you are not romantically interested in sometimes? Are you able to generally guess whether they would be receptive to interacting or not? Could you conceivably guess if a person waiting in a waiting room might be open to chat, versus wants to be left alone?
The point I was driving at is people often behave as though interacting with those they are sexually attracted to is different. While it can be in some ways, the way you can identify whether someone you're not sexually attracted to would like to interact can be used with those you are sexually attracted to as well. It's not mind reading.
If you cannot do these things with people you are not sexually attracted to either, that's a skill that can be developed, and the issue is not an inability to read women's (I'm guessing) minds.
Nah these are child games and should be left in middle school.
Tell me how you feel I'm not a fucking mind reader.
Could you see how I might perceive that reply to have failed to engage with anything I said?
