Some cites, because no one wants to read through that bullshit.

In [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16186032&postcount=170), he says I was sending “mixed signals.” Because in his mind, _no matter what a woman says,_ and how clear it is she isn’t interested, extending a courtesy = a signal of wanting your cock. He knows this because he watches shitty sitcoms! Cite:

> [@Guys, Y U no listen?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/guys-y-u-no-listen/655424/139):
>
> To paraphrase Robin from How I Met Your Mother: “A Lady invents a respectable excuse to invite a man over when she wants to get stuck real good. It’s called class”. Her complaint is essentially “I sent mixed signals and a guy got the wrong idea”. _YAWN_

Bonus points for taking every joke from a sitcom literally and basing his interactions with other people in non-scripted real life of it. But wait, it gets stupider!

Troppus (and others) very patiently explain to him that being nice to someone isn’t a green light to try to force your paws on her, he still insists that there were “mixed signals” bit. No. Showing zero signs of interest and flat out explaining that the one thing that might look like one is not in painfully clear detail isn’t “mixed signals.” That’s inventing signals in your head because you want one. In his crazy mind, if you’re nice to someone, even if you’re rejecting him, those are “mixed signals.”

But this, [this bullshit right here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16188916&postcount=363), is my favorite. He actually said, straight up:

> [@Guys, Y U no listen?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/guys-y-u-no-listen/655424/364):
>
> No, clearly an invitation up to a girl’s apartment on a flimsy excuse + an explicit prohibition on sex = she wants to fool around a bit.

Explicit prohibition on sex = she wants to fool around a bit. !!! WTF?
