Why do men seem to mistake my kindness for flirtation and then act all awkward around me?

Should I just stop being kind to men? 

Updated 5 days ago:

When some men make this mistake and they're not attracted to you, they give you a hard time. They will sometimes call you disrespectful slurs and spread false rumours about you.

@?, there was a guy I had 0% attraction towards and he thought I liked him. My delivery is politeness and kindness. Not every man I've come across makes this mistake but some seem to. My delivery is kindness.

Updated 5 days ago:

When I'm kind to women I do the exact, same thing and they don't seem to make that mistake.

    Cause they are thinking with their little heads & not the big one.  Little one has no brain, just lust.  Little boys should have special education so they don't grow up to be assholes & jerks.  I think most men will admit to being assholes, not saying all are assholes but many are.

    You more than likely are acting like you want them.

    If more than one is mistaking your intent, then the problem is with your delivery of your intent and not the people themselves. A mature person knows it’s not an either or situation and would make adjustments to their own actions so that their intent is clear. In other words: don’t send mixed signals.
