"Men are bad at picking up on women's hints." What are your actual thoughts on this sentiment? (self.casualconversation)

Either through memes or comments I keep seeing this sentiment pop-up from time to time. And I'm wondering what your (yes, you) consensus is on it.

I for one am too pessimistic to do anything with potential hints. Like even if there is a good chance I still just don't want to risk it.

It's happened multiple times with multiple women and I've resigned myself to believing it's clearly something about me that no one is willing to tell me is a problem so I've just given up entirely ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

something about me that no one is willing to tell me

Let me try: You're decently attractive, quick to offer help and have a meek and gentle nature. Sounds like you? These women were looking for a shoulder to cry on without giving anything in return. She was touching you because things weren't going so great with her boyfriend.
