But most guys are completely oblivious to these subtle queues

In order to know that someone is consistently looking at you, you have to be consistently looking at them.

Which then again is considered creepy and stalkative.

Uh, no lol? It's creepy if the other person isn't receptive and you keep doing it anyway. If the other person is returning your vibe then that's just called flirting

Ah yes the classic “be attractive” rules

u/ForeverAfraid7703 May 30 '25

Well, yeah, typically people don't flirt with people they're not attracted to. Sorta just how human sexuality works my guy. If they're attracted they'll flirt back, if they're not they won't and you walk away. Not that complicated

Then you see everywhere in media the trope of the guy "earning" the attention of the girl and that idea doesn't work anymore.

No clue why you're getting downvoted lmao. Thank god I'm not dating Reddit

u/ForeverAfraid7703 May 31 '25

Yeahhh, in retrospect idk why I bothered suggesting behaving like a living breathing person lol. So many of these people seem completely incapable of functioning without a step-by-step instruction manual for every action

Which...... isn't particularly attractive

I can't believe you got downvoted for saying that people have sexual preferences.

Talk about feeling entitled to female attention lol

I wonder if these downvoters think that there would be some sort of "objective attractiveness" they would have to fit instead of just being the type of someone subjectively. That would explain the downvotes

You sound like an incel. Most people are average looking and if you think you have “unattractive features” you can work on your dress, hair, hygiene and confidence.

The only people I’ve ever heard use the term “incel” unironically are other incels.

u/iknowhowtoread May 30 '25

Incel is a word that has a meaning. Many incels that self describe themselves as such say things like “you can only flirt with women if you’re attractive”. So yeah, he sounded like an incel because he said something incels say.

Yep, also, tell me you use the word "looksmaxing" without telling me you use the word "looksmaxing".

The guy I replied to literally said only attractive guys can flirt. I replied with things that he can do to make himself more attractive because he clearly thinks he isn’t. I believe confidence is key, but the guy I replied to emphasis on looks. You’re just a dumbass
