Tracy Cox (everyone's favourite sexpert) was on XFM Breakfast this morning talking about her new show.
Apparently women have 52 different ways of letting a man know they are interested in him. Fifty bloody two. We're screwed. If I had to learn one a week it would take me a whole year, and by then I would have forgotten the first 11 months worth. I don't have a hope in hell. Beyond "Fancy a shag?" I haven't got a clue.
Side note: This would go a long way to explaining why I thought Jose wasn't interested in me, up until the point she snogged me, and still wasn't 100% sure after.
Now men on the other hand have only 10 ways of showing a girl we are interested. Or in my case 1*.
* Staring.
1. Destructor
You forgot drooling.
2. matthew
And ogling.
3. Lisa
And then on the other hand, we have 312 ways to let a man know that we’re not interested, and yet none of them sink in either. ;)
4. Damo
Pulling her hair (only works for 5 year old boys).

Tracy Cox couldn’t be MORE of a dismal failure as a “sexpert”. Every week I watch in horror as she ruins yet another - until then, perfectly happy - relationship. She is so smug about her ridiculous advice. I would dearly love to punch her in the box.
That is all.
6. stroppycow
You forgot buying drinks when asked to.
7. abi
i want to know about the other 9 ways!
8. Raspil
you need to stop believing everything you hear about women, esp from women. just like men, we also are full of shit. seriously. i’m starting to worry about you.
9. zed
you forgot the groping bit. and not necessarily groping her.
10. Coop
Well you’re already going wrong with your chat up line. Women like you to compliment them, so a better chat up line would be “Nice shoes, fancy a shag..”
11. Gordon
Yeah. I’d do her too..
Sorry, what was your question?
12. Chris G.
52 ways. I suppose it’s good that women have got 52 ways of letting us blokes know they are interested, otherwise, men and women would just stand at other sides of a bar staring and drooling at each other.
13. Adrian
Hang on, I thought that was what we did do …
14. Destructor
No, women have a complicated series of subtle and nuanced gestures, none of which I am ever remotely aware of, even when escalted to the scale of grabbing my ass and whispering: “I’m gonna fuck you till your ears bleed, you little spunkmonkey.”
