But yeah, you're more than right with that. So many times, I've listened to lady friends tell they've got a crush on someone, and I tried to push them to make a move, because I'm dead certain that certain someone would explode from happiness, and they just look at me like I'm speaking Manganese.
Like, not even that they're lacking courage, just full on this assumption that they cannot do that, by law of nature.

Well, with the difference that ladies have a higher chance that some dude will make a move, so even if they never make a move themselves, they have a much lower risk of staying alone.

I would also look at you funny if you were speaking manganese.

Yeah, pun intended. 🙃

Although, I had literally just learned what manganese is before posting the comment above, and it sounded like the name of a language to me, so that's how that pun came to be.

Was it because of that other post about the two genders Fe (iron) and Mn (Manganese)?

Exactly, yes. I was hoping someone had seen that post, too, and would get a chuckle out of the reference. :)
