          Okay, I was amused before but now this has gone back to the usual frustration. Do you really not see how that reply hints at your assumption that everyone you speak to on the internet is a man?

            Yes, it did, and that’s what I suspected, but I saw other possible interpretations and ironically, I didn’t want to assume. Sorry for being annoying. I only meant any of this for fun and didn’t mean to offend or frustrate you.

            I was hoping your reply would be something like “am woman” in which case I was planning to tell you that in real life it feels like a majority of the women that I thought were really really cool but who I didn’t feel inclined towards romantically turned out to be uninterested in my entire gender romantically, so I was going to assume that you are also really cool even though my maths teacher was very insistent that correlation does not imply causation.

            I assert that your “I have good news for your wife, then!” answer fits with my correlation.

            If your reply was “you’re really rubbish at flirting” I was planning on responding with “everybody wins”.

            I was hoping to come up with something amusingly self deprecating if it was along the lines of “I’m specifically not interested in you”, but I hadn’t got as far as thinking through that answer, hoping it wasn’t that.

            As you can see I’m not all that great at this social interaction thing. Genuinely sorry to have annoyed you.
