Guys Are Clueless

What most men already know, confirmed through scientific study…

“More often than not, guys interpret even friendly cues, such as a subtle smile from a gal, as a sexual come-on, and a new study discovers why: Guys are clueless.

More precisely, they are somewhat oblivious to the emotional subtleties of non-verbal cues, according to a new study of college students.”

    Well everyone knows college guys are oblivious to non verbal cues. I wonder if the study would carry over to older age groups? Perhaps the problem is the raging hormones of 18-22 year old boys, and not all men in general.

    Or am I wrong to assume that your hormones ever stop raging? I probably am.

    sooo… you’re saying I shouldn’t hit on the girl at the front office in my complex?

    No, you’re best bet is to assume that our hormones never stop raging and that we really do want to get in bed with every cute young gal we meet. Some of us just ignore the impulse better then others.

    And, yes, I know, that sucks, and life ain’t fair. Gals should just carry a clue hammer, and be done with it.

    The question I have about the research (and it’s possible it was simply misreported) is whether it’s simply a difference between men and women in how those cues are expressed. The article said that they were looking at pictures of women, so perhaps the women got more correct simply because they read other women better, which wouldn’t be shocking. If they were looking at pictures of men, would the men do better? If the pictures were women and men, would there be any differences?
