Do women actually expect men to pick up on their hints?

I don’t think so but most of the time it’s bc we don’t want to sound “overdramatic” about something. And sorry but men should be more emotionally intelligent. I’m very direct w my bf but there are still times u need to drop hints bc if we tell them everything every time, yall won’t learn! U gotta learn to do shit on ur own and just more emotionally aware

No, I don’t drop hints. I’m trying to be pretty direct because I think that’s just a stupid way to go about things and leads to too much miscommunication.

No but it would be nice for him to just go the extra mile. Like surprise flowers, or just saying hey I got this go rest. Just to show he notices the little things

Also, I think a culture where we expect men to go off subtle signs instead of clear, verbal interest as a world where we encouragement to not worry so much about consent

Do you actually make them “obvious” though? I feel like women say this and then do the least obvious thing ever 😭

I see what you mean but I feel like direct communication is key, no?

It is but I think it’s situational and it also depends on how much it matters to u. If it’s a big deal, I say be direct. If it’s not too big of a deal I think teaching a guy how to learn hints is rlly important bc it allows them to be more aware of your emotions and to think for themselves but u have to be direct FIRST and then give hints if they don’t listen

Bc I think if someone is doing something wrong, they may not be aware of it so u have to communicate. But if you’ve communicated it and they still ignore it, I’m not gonna tell u time and time again so this is me trying to teach my bf how to come to these conclusions on his own
