 A different explanation for the presence of both overperception and underperception in men is the male insensitivity bias.Evidence has shown that males lack perceptual sensitivity, so they are more likely to misperceive friendliness as sexual interest, but also more likely to misperceive sexual interest as friendliness, in comparison to females, something that explains the presence of both biases in males.Women also fall victim to misconceptions during male-female interactions.
