"Men are bad at picking up on women's hints." What are your actual thoughts on this sentiment? (lemmy.world)

Either through memes or comments I keep seeing this sentiment pop-up from time to time. And I'm wondering what your (yes, you) consensus is on it.

I for one am too pessimistic to do anything with potential hints. Like even if there is a good chance I still just don't want to risk it.

It's common sense not to flirt at your job. You say something like "I'm going to the Flaming Donkey for a few drinks around 8 PM. Drop by if you want." If he or she doesn't show, then that's it.

I wasn’t making a judgment on the concept, only offering that it does happen. You are correct of course, it’s not good to date co-workers.
