Default don't fall for this

Dear Teachers,

A. Woman constantly talk about finding their soul-mate, knight in shining around, price charming, etc. Don’t fall for this.
- “don’t fall for this” means “don’t be cheated by this”, right?

B. Women tend to go to bitch mode a lot faster when they are situations where they know that many men will be hitting on them.
- “will be hitting on them” means “will notice them”, right?

Thanks a million

Namsteven

B. Women tend to go to bitch mode a lot faster when they are in situations where they know that many men will be hitting on them.
- “will be hitting on them” means “will notice them”, right? Bit stronger than just noticing - the men will be actively trying to attract the women.

Thanks a million
