All of them are the product of mental illness or severe immaturity. Or both. To believe that a greentext is not the expression of, or desire to proliferate, negative character qualities is naive. Which is to say, this isn’t unusually manipulative. Also asking people out is ok
Most every person has that moment where they realize that someone was flirting with them, but they were unaware. It’s your obligation as a sexual being to recognize it, not to accept their advances. The implication that they didn’t understand the woman’s meaning is the joke. They’re free to reject it, but they didn’t. They just didn’t notice. So we poke fun.
When I was young, insecure about my sexual inexperience, convinced I was worth less than others, and on 4chan all the time, there were some levels on which I really did not understand that, which led to some uncomfortable situations, and could easily have led to worse ones. Flirting isn’t really something you analyze and make decisions about anyway, if someone isn’t responding to it, maybe that says something about how they are feeling and should be respected regardless of if they understand on a conscious level what is going on.

It’s ok but it’s like this idea that they should be ashamed for not thinking to do it, like it’s their obligation as a man or something

What do you do when you notice some hints but aren’t interested in them romantically, but instead genuinely want to be friends with them?
