/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

To paraphrase a German comedian (I’m not even sure who said it).
(Slightly adapted to fit the medium text better.)
I hate that this is framed as men being stupid when in reality if a man is ignoring a hint it's because he'd rather be wrong about it not being a hint than wrong about it being a hint and make an unwanted advance.
Nope, there's a decent number of us who can completely miss any type of hint, and need to be told explicitly that someone's into us.
Source: It's me, I'm one of those men.
It can both of these things. I can completely miss most hints thrown my way and still be concerned about misreading possible hints.
In some things a lack of subtlety is a virtue. In this case, "you, me, sex" is not clear enough. Please specify a time and location as well.
Wait, it doesn't mean right here, right now? Maybe that's why I'm banned from the supermarket 🤔
Or, as I've said 1000 times before and will say 1000 times again...
Playing hard to get is often indistinguishable from not interested.
