Cracked me up so hard i got in trouble in class for laughing to loud and was getting a number of looks. This is so funny but so smart at the same time!

I believe this must be pounds, and then it would be 135 kgs to 81 kgs. Does not sound bad!

The world in 2018 with poverty, wars, no actions against pollution, etc. etc., i.e. mankind having all the means but not the will to enable everyone, in particularly future generations, in having a good life.

From a man to ladies: you might think the hints you give are very obvious, but they are not! And if you like a man, make the first step yourself. Don't get upset if a man doesn't get your "obvious" hints.

From happily married woman to single ladies - this guy is telling true. "Obvious hints" aren't that obvious

After a night of cocktails, I asked this insanely hot friend of mine, who had walked me home, up for coffee. He refused because, as he told me later, "god knows what might have happened". It took me about five years to get him out of the friend zone. Now we have three kids and have been married for 7 years.

Well, I think it's resposible of him. If you though he was drunk and could do something he (or you) would regret later he made right choice. But I'm glad you were able to get together in the end :)

As a woman, someone doing anything that isn't holding my hand or kissing me will be taken as a "I'm probably just imagining things" too. Anyone who isn't super confident or has been mistaken about hints before will always be careful about it

We do tell you, most of us flat out tell you all the time. But many of you men don't listen. Or you don't want to. However check out my response to boredhuman's comments at the top. I give an explanation as to why some women do the "hints"

Wasn't the title about an 'obvious hint' .. 'I'm cold' means you're cold, I want to be your girlfriend means I want to be your girlfriend. Not sure how that could be easier. Honestly.

"I'm cold" is a terrible flirt line, and probably helped along the weird stereotype of "women are always cold" more than actual biological factors. Honestly because I'm kind of callous as well as socially awkward, my response would probably just be "Well, you should've brought a sweater."

A man who will get up out of a comfy chair and spend an hour building a fire to keep you warm is a keeper.

I really wish I had my current "idgaf" attitude back when I was younger and single. Dropping hints is for the birds. Just flat out tell someone you like them. They'll either like you back or not. At least you'll know, and there's none of this hinting back and forth and trying to decode the other person's actions.

"Let me build a fire for you" sounds much sweeter to me than "I got the hint, let's flirt". But maybe it's just because I'm a man.

Well, this is how I asked my boyfriend out for the first time: I was drinking with his roommate and suddenly got a thought and got up walking to him like "hey we should go out sometime" and he was like: where do you want to go in this very moment drunk like this and why do you need me too? *Facepalm*

The thing is, the guy may have gotten the hint... and wasn't particularly in the obliging sort of mood. lets be honest. when was the last time it took a guy an hour to build a bonfire? also, the 'wiggling' could have weird-ed him out. Alternatively, this fellow is as clueless a hint-receiver as the rest of us *and* a consumate city-slicker.

you could have just said "hold me", men would be just as clueless to that as to "i'm cold" but you would have gotten what you wanted.

What a horrible thought, and what a waste for that room. I would turn it into a cozy area to play video games that I do not have time for, read the books I always wanted to read, and spend time with loved-ones when days are too stressful.

An experiment was recently completed that shows that particles can change upon observation, so this may not be so far fetched after all.

I do this with my daughter. I have successfully stopped 'dabbing' and 'flossing' in my house. I hope to progress to stopping her wearing inappropriate clothing when she is a teenager using the same techniques.

My favourite is (translated by me to English so sorry that it might sound like it): A man walks into the surgical ward in a hospital saying: "Hello, I think I'm a moth." A nurse replies: "I'm sorry, this is the surgical ward, psychiatry is on the third floor." "I know but you had the lights on."

My sister's cat suddenly seemed to get fatter overnight. We thought it was doing the above until one day we found it fighting with another cat - which looked exactly like it, but thinner. Things went 'click' and we realized we had been feeding an impostor who kept chasing my sister's actual cat off when he tried to come home. Smartest thing I've ever seen an animal do.
