I'm friends with my 1st ever boyfriend on Facebook, but don't speak.
But my last ex, I don't want to speak to him nor see him. Haven't spoken to him since a week after we split.

I doubt it - we can have a bit of a laugh but I don't think anyone is under any illusions. It's frankly idiotic to suggest otherwise.

This. Most blokes aren't actually stupid. I'm a 44 year old guy in average shape with average looks. If the 21 year old stunning girl in the office next door (note: I work in IT, so this is an entirely hypothetical stunning 21 year old girl) smiles at me and says something complimentary, I'm not daft enough to believe it's anything other than her being nice.

I've been around enough women long enough to be able to tell the difference between being social and being interested. I find the suggestion I'm some dumb neanderthal who a woman only has to bat her eyelids at for my testosterone to take over to be ruddy insulting, frankly.

From the propositions I got from customers when I worked in subway and at a newsagent just for being a bit smiley and cheerful when doing my job, I can tell you that it does happen. And it's even worse if the customer has had a drink.

Oh, I'm not saying it doesn't. And I'm sure women get more hassle than blokes realise they do. I just think you're over-generalising to say that most blokes in most situations think that way.

Or maybe a lot of blokes find a French accent irresistible. I couldn't say about that.


Oh come on though, you can't really be taking drunken idiots as indicative of anything other than the intellect-robbing qualities of strong lager.

I don't deny it happens but when alcohol is involved is it them or the dutch courage?
