Meaning

This reads as playful mockery of stereotyped ideas about women and men, more than a serious claim about either. The sentence can be taken to mean that romantic communication is often treated like a puzzle, with impossible expectations placed on both sides. It lands in a scene where someone is being teased for trying to decode feelings instead of speaking plainly.
