Any idiot can flirt with a woman. That's easy. A compliment costs nothing. A little attention costs nothing. The harder question is whether you notice what's underneath. The exhaustion she hides behind a smile. The things she never says out loud. The weight she's been carrying for so long she forgot it was heavy. Most people see the face she shows the world. Very few notice the version that's quietly falling apart behind it. That's the one I pay attention to.
