Maybe I should start collecting examples of why that shit doesn't work and can really get you fucked up?

I've had a girl come over after we had been hanging out all evening (literally dinner, drinks, and a show, in which we talked a lot about sex and relationships throughout the night), she got into her underwear, then crawled into my bed, and invited me to get in bed.

Then when I asked if she wanted to come closer and reached over to touch her, she got upset and said if she wanted sex she would have told me so, then rolled over.

She left in the morning and said we aren't friends anymore.

Said by someone in another forum.

Most young men misinterpret body-language and clothing when trying to understand if a woman is sexually attracted to them, a new study has found.

“A common complaint I’ve heard from women across the world is that men think they're flirting, when in fact, their predisposition is to be what we call ‘alacrity,’ which is to be happy, joyous, and very outward,” Navarro says.

Hmmmm. Interesting. It's as if body language can be deceiving, or even downright misinterpreted no matter how "alpha" you are?
