alt Hacker NewsThe problem with your hypothesis is that 'a woman being nice to you' (brown-nosing or otherwise) is in absolutely no way whatsoever flirting. Flirting is an entirely different way of behaving.

Did you miss where I said “misinterpreted”?
Men also sometimes misinterpret waitresses as flirting with them when they aren’t, which is another common entry point for sexual harassment. What I’m describing would be similar to that. Would you say that doesn’t happen either, or are they somehow completely different?

Yeah, sure, the plot of The Hot Chick is totally imaginary and not used as a satire on the behaviour of some people. Especially in those scenes at the cafe. Yes.
Thank you for verifying how all women behave and act, as if they are all identical.
Then, using that stereotypical behaviour to chastise others.
You also presume that "brown nosing" is the same category as "being nice". It's not. Brown nosing is a non-genuine, fabricated expression.
So is the woman faking "being nice" due to brow nosing, or faking "being nice" due to sexual interest?
The parent poster was merely wondering if this is hard to discern, and even indicated that it "doesn't make it right".
Your response is part of what is wrong with such dynamics today. Knee jerk reactions to speculation is not called for.
