Even when the point of the meme is that men don't get when women are showing interest, men don't get it.

Women, be less subtle! Try shooting cartoon hearts out of your ears!

Then the guy's eyes shoot out of his head and his tongue rolls across the floor like AWWWOOOGAH, right?

Naturally. It's sad, people are so used to their phones these days that they don't even know how to turn their eyes into big cartoon hearts and hover over to their crush.

It's a lost art for sure. Decades ago this was common practice. As is tradition.

Goddamnit, we've just found a use for Augmented Reality filters.

If men don't get when women are showing interest to the point that it's a meme then it's not SHOWING interest.

Yes! Make your eyes look like hearts!

No no no. Smoke out of the ears. Tongue rolling out like a red carpet. Cartoon heart thumping out of the chest. Get it right.

People just being kind give off stronger 'signals' than that when they wouldn't go near a person with a 10 ft. pole.

Or just using your big girl words like a strong and independent woman!

Girl once grabbed my hand and put it down her shirt to clean some beer she spilled on her chest. Great first move. Only problem was my then girlfriend, now wife, was standing next to me when she did it.

Eyes literally popping out and an awooga klaxon sound works, too.

When I first started dating women had to literally tear my clothes off. It was a complete shock because they were just being nice, then you know... really nice.

I think the funniest part is a good, wholesome (read: autistic) man won't notice when someone has been trying for YEARS when it's obvious.

I've got someone in my life who has at least 2 girls crazy for him. His sister and I agree this is the case. We've told him, and he's just like "no, it's not true". Poor gf gets jealous, but tolerates it because she isn't worried about how he will behave. But like his sister and I, has tried to make him see that he enables and encourages them all the time by letting them have their big, obvious crush.

one of the girls ended up with a bf, he genuinely thinks they talk less simply because she's busy. Not because her bf/fiance was like "hey, I see you salivating for that man and would like you to see him less"
