I have occasionally thought that a woman might be looking for more pushback when they say no, but then I realize that’s insane. I have to believe people when they say no because the alternative is a nightmare, and also I don’t want to be with someone who doesn’t say what they mean.
Up means up down means down left means left right means right yes means yes no means no stop means stop go means go.
That’s the only operational matrix I can function in. Anyone I’m dating/friends gets told that, and the 2nd or 3rd time that matrix isn’t respected, it’s over, no looking back.

That’s my point of view. I got enough BS going on with my life. I don’t want to spend time talking to a partner that won’t say what they mean.
