32. Let's stick to subtle signals, not obvious ones
That's what I was referring to.

Some people simply are unable to pick up subtle social signals. This applies to social interactions generally, not just to interactions between men and women. This inability is not limited to men. It may not seem like rocket science to you, but to such people, it is.

Saying that they should simply pay attention is like telling someone who's tone deaf that he should simply pay more attention to a tune and then he'd be able to sing it properly. Or it's like telling someone who's color blind that he needs to concentrate more on the colors and then he'd be able to differentiate them.
