Is it true?
This came across my mind for no reason, is it true what people say about "when a man talk bad about a woman, it means he likes her"? It sounded silly to me, because people are allowed to not like everyone, it doesn't mean they want to date the other person....

Re: Is it true?
I've not heard anyone say that before, but no. People can talk about other people for all kinds of reasons (and not all men and women are heterosexual or bisexual, either, so some men talking about women aren't even attracted to women).
I think the only time it's safe to presume someone is interested in dating or sex with someone because they are talking about them is when they say so.
