Look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCIz-lbxtCU&ab_channel=Jubilee

Essentially men line up in front of the woman they want to date and the women then eliminate the men one by one until there's one left. I think every woman knew which guy she was going to pick among her line instantly. Then it was hard to choose who to eliminate because she equally doesn't care about the other ones. But they basically put on a charade pretending it's so hard to choose, going on about how all the men were great. This is women in action. Most likely they won't even go on a date with the one man they did choose, yet they all virtue signal about how all the guys are great and making a choice was so hard. Women do that just to be nice. Do men not realize this and do men actually think women are interested in them when they are being complimentary and flaky? Any time a woman goes like you're such a great guy, too bad the timing is wrong, too bad I only go alone to the gym, etc. She's not interested. I don't even think women are being disingenuous at all, it's just the way women communicate because women like to be nice and it's not hard to understand. Once in a while there's a guy who's completely oblivious to female language and he takes compliments seriously and thinks he has a chance and it's really awkward and so uncomfortable. This isn't the case in this video, the men in this video are chill, but in real life one of them would delude himself that even though he was 3rd on the girl's list she actually did like him and would have dated him.
