Could Someone Translate This Male Behavior?

[Nikoubis]

We are idiots. Better get used to it.

That's pretty much it.

Yes we are also very sensitive but you probably already know that. Maybe a litte humor next time. Like "Hey what's going on? Is there something green in my teeth or did one of you fart?"

I would advise against this. No one likes to think about green things between teeth or farts and most men certainly don't want to think of women with the former or doing the latter. Also they might think you're being bitchy. Personally I'd think "well this girl has a pretty unrefined sense of humor...". Humor yes, but only if you're actually funny. I don't like to see anyone who sucks at humor attempt it. Girl or guy.

Then you'll probably get bored with TB pretty quick.

EDIT: Forgot smiley. My bad.

Dry toast. Hey Milktoast!

Hey, chicks fart and get crap stuck between their teeth. Still hot though. Ain't gonna stop me!

My breath must be pretty torty if you can smell it on the other side of the country.

The blokes find you attractive but somewhat aloof. They are afraid to make their manly desires known to you in case you turn on them and ridicule them in public.

Choose any of the following:

A. He was planning to ask you out but lost the nerve

B. Something made him think of pizza

C. His brain temporarily shut down (it happens to males)

D. He was waiting for you to bend over

E. He was afraid that if he moved he would fart and was trying to be a gentleman

F. There was a bully outside waiting to steal his lunch money

Or don't read so much into it. Guys are simple creatures.

I think we can pretty much wrap this meeting up. It's one of these.

I've been known to do C often. It's like the thing just overloads and shuts down for a minute to reboot.

But A is entirely possible. Happens to everyone at some point.

You're probably more attractive than the average bassist, so that makes A and C pretty likely (at least for me, beauty can cause a mental overload while trying to make smart sounding conversation).

Next time it happens, you should ask him out just to really throw a curve ball his direction haha. My brain would probably melt.

So today was the second to last day for a couple of my classes, and I don't know what to make of some of my classmates' behavior.

I've been chatting with these guys all term, classic small talk stuff: "How's the paper going?" "What are you doing this weekend?" "How was your weekend?" Today we wished each other a good weekend, and then they just stood there. I was waiting for them to say something, or leave or something but they just stood there, kinda smiling, looking at me. (I would of left but I was staying in that classroom and still packing my bag.)

Why would they do this? I kinda feel bad for not saying something because the silence lasted the majority of a minute.

They probably put a stick-it note on your back that said, "Kick Me."

Well, to be fair, I attempt humor all the time. Not always to good results. Do as i say, not as i do.

 

[Downunderwonder]

You should note that A to E may have all been happening simultaneously. Guys multitask too you know.

 

[Rob22315]

For some guys, it's a power move - make you feel uncomfortable or force you to respond a certain way by putting you in an awkward situation. Gives them a sense of dominance by putting you on the defensive.

It can be a controlling behavior or way of dealing with his discomfort because he's interested in you by transferring that discomfort to you.

 

[Sneakypete]

Well it might have been something else. Years of noisy work environments and even noisier band have really affected my hearing and sometimes people speak but I just don't catch it so maybe I've just smiled vacantly when people were expecting a reply too!

Petit Mal episode....

 

[Gorn]

Maybe a nipple was showing?

 

[bass geetarist]

I would try not to over think it if I were you. People do and say all sorts of weird, awkward things for reasons that only they understand (I know I do), and you'll drive yourself mad trying to figure out their motives. Whenever I find myself questioning what someone's odd behaviour or words mean, I try to give them the benefit of the doubt that no harm or malice was intended, unless it was explicitly stated. Otherwise, I know I'll drive myself mad trying to figure out what the person was thinking, and just end up projecting my own insecurities or doubts onto their actions.

 

[knumbskull]

adolescent males = completely untranslatable.

90% of the time that's probably a good thing, too.

It was the moment of "I had all semester to turn our classroom friendliness into a real friendship or take my chance at something more, and now I've effing blown it because I won't see her again".
