How many times has someone else misread your sexual signals ?

[wonderwort]

Sexual signals can be vague, confusing and or misleading.

Everyone sends different sexual signals.

Everyone receives, processes and interprets the sexual signals differently.

Anything and everything can be used by someone to send a sexual signal to someone else.

Anything and everything can be misinterpreted as a sexual signal.

Usually sexual signals are "beat around the bush" type things.

So, I personally think that there's quite a lot of room to misread sexual signals and end up with a huge misunderstanding and or jackpots.

For me personally, others have misread my signals twice.

Once, a homophobic straight friend thought I was hitting on him when I had no such intentions.

Another time, a male neighbor who was married with kids, was hitting on me and I didn't know he was hitting on me because I never suspected he was bi. Long story short was that my neighbor was hitting on me and I thought he was just being nice. In the end , my neighbor tried to have sex with me and I was an unwilling partner and I had no idea that he wanted to have sex with me. The situation that resulted afterwards was a clusterfuck.

I was somewhat careless in my younger days, on both sides of the issue. I prefer to gravitate toward those don't equate sex with emotion, so the wake of my libido has left few casualties.

These days, I'm practically Victorian in my carousing.

You damn kids and your selfies. In my day we went skinny dipping or played strip poker. Far more titillating and memorable than shooting porn at each other.

I often have a problem with women mistaking my kindness and interest (I was always taught to pay attention to people and respond when they're talking) as being sexually attracted to them.

 

[HoodedRat]

I'm naturally very friendly and chatty with pretty much anyone and everyone. Unfortunately, sometimes women of a certain age seem to think I am flirting with them.

 

[NotHardUp1]

I'm sure many men I flirt with have no clue that they are being flirted with, as I am older, they are straight, and they just think I'm friendly, which I am. But I am more friendly when they are cute.

I got the glad eye from some woman at the bank the other day, i think she mistook my look of contempt for how long her and her mother were at the teller for lust.

This is a question which is impossible to answer. If my sexual signals indicated that I was attracted to a particular person and that person didn't respond, that could be because they'd (a) not noticed at all, or (b) misread the signals as something else such as general friendliness, or (c) understood exactly but chosen not to respond.

If I were to be asked instead how many times the signs of sexual attraction I thought I was giving off had not resulted in sex, the answer would have to be in the hundreds.

I flung my panties at Hoody many times but he just ignores my advances.

You are right unloadoneonme,

My question should have been "how many times have others misread your sexual signals and it resulted in a big huge misunderstanding or jackpot ?"

I would have to say none. I never had any game.

Fucking yesterday!

I have zero game...and not a great conversationalist...but had an attractive younger dude over yesterday after a couple of times hanging out and we had great conversation and I was 100% focused on him and his interests. I am not overtly out, but it is not a secret. Dude was setting off my gaydar and we were even getting close and a bit flirtatious. Thought for sure he would wind up in my bedroom based on his reactions and body language.

...until I found out the fucker has a live in girlfriend!...yeah, I know there is always that "possibility" but was not worth crossing the line and being wrong cuz there is still some common interest friendship to be had.

That is what I get for being too friendly!

Probably 0, I don't think I have any sex signals

 

[Thad1527]

Nothing new.

 

[FanofFiction]

Not to jump on the women bandwagon here, but yes, it is nearly always women who misread my intentions as being romantic. I can think of only two times that men misread me and thought I was sending signals that I was not.
