Maybe what's going on is that women can tell K is very responsive to their signals, and they know that if they started giving him negative feedback, he'd leave them alone in an instant. So they have less to fear. Just a theory, I'm def. not an expert on this stuff.

That's probably part of it. Also, the women don't even have a chance to give B negative feedback, because he never gets to the "like you, like you" stage. Like they're fine being friends with him just awkward about the other stuff, but it's never explicit enough to actually address.
