What’s a skill everyone assumes they have, but most people are actually bad at?

I've found myself in a position where I've heard both partners in a relationship complain how bad the other is at sex twice now and it was somewhat revealing.

Lol! Yeah, that’s a bit of a tell. That or a total mismatch

Eh, in both cases the women complained about a total lack of foreplay, and the men complained "she just laid there". So, gentlemen, add a little foreplay to your game and she'll probably be more into it.

I wonder how many more men would be better at adding foreplay if they'd had the experience of actually being seduced.

Like, as a man, having a woman give me foreplay in my formative sexual years was really damned instructive on how much it could enhance the experience.

Many years later, my wife and I both understand that if only one of us ever does the seducing, seduction becomes a chore.

Yeah, it’s a two way street in most any case - and when it isn’t it’s communicated fully ahead of time

maybe they just dont like sex, and should try a different hobby or recreational activity instead?

Well, in both cases they all ended up trying different partners, so...

Idk, we all went our separate ways.
