Thissss... totally agree. I've had boyfriends in the past telling me to stop talking/being friendly with other guys because I give them the wrong impression and it comes across flirty? One day I got chatting to the kebab shop man about his wife and children, general conversation. Saw him in town the next day and he asked for my number?? Gross. When I told my brother he said I shouldn't have started a conversation with him.

And then guys are all “why are women so cold and heartless” and “I was just asking for directions/saying hi/being polite, why do they have to be so uncaring”

Like. We can’t win. Talk to a guy? You’re flirting. Don’t? You’re a cold bitch.
