Are men mean to women they like?

[Slightaggrandising]

I remember in school when a boy was picking on me, my art teacher getting a grip of him like grips we're going out of fashion. Props to her! But I also remember her rolling her eyes at him & saying "he probably fancies you, leave it with me".

Like I said, she fixed the problem but is it true in boys? And if so, is it a way that men behave to try to get attention?

Negging is when a bloke is chatting up a woman he’s attracted to but believes that women will get ideas above their station if consistently complimented and thus jokey negative “digs” are used to essentially put the little lady back in her place and de facto confuse her as to whether she’s actually (not) attracted to said bloke or not.

In short, women always go for the dickheads so if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.
