She wants the people she's interested in to look at her, and the people she isn't interested in to leave her alone. If you pay attention for about 10 seconds you'll find out pretty quick-smart which category you fall into and if you have any respect for her you'll modify all your future interactions with her accordingly.

There's the problem.
Most of us guys suck horribly at reading signals from the ladies. Or even noticing.
Many's the time I have been told (later) that I was being a creep.
And an equal number of times I have found out later "dude, why didn't you go talk to that girl? She was totally coming on to you."
In both types of situation I was all "huh.. who.. What??"
frogfactory:
My question is: Why does the woman have two noses/chins/necks in panel 3?
Somnus Eternus:
I'm a little surprised so many people voted for Hanners in the poll. I mean, I know a lot of people here would want to send her one, but in-universe she has this worrying habit of freaking men out...

--- End quote ---
No, some people do go out of their way to give offense as well. They'll do things they know, or can guess will offend, mainly to gain amusement from others' offended reactions. A relevant example from the ongoing discussion is the guy who keeps staring at a woman's ass long after she's noticed and shown, by her body language at least, that she doesn't appreciate his attention. He doesn't care that he's made her uncomfortable, and may even be enjoying her discomfort. (not that this is what Marten did of course, he just got caught up in the moment)
Of course it can be difficult to tell if someone meant to give offense, and if they did they're most likely looking for you to react, so growing a thick skin is still a good idea.

And thus, those men don't stick around long enough to get to know Hanners better. If they did, it might be a different story.
The Seldom Killer:
Yeah, you may want to send her one, or even just see her receive some. But I suspect that receiving the most valentines cards would leave her feeling rather freaked out, kicking off a paranoia/crazy cycle. This would not be a good thing. You wouldn't do it if you really liked her.
