Is it possible for men to flirt
Posted: 8/4/2009 8:05:07 AM
Absolutely: A smile, A wink. A casual start up to a conversation. All those are flirting. Personally I love to flirt. I try and keep a lid on it though because it can lead to problems. I think a guy can very easily communicate his interest without becoming sexual in the least. In fact if more guys would do that they might just find the flirting leads to more and better relationships. Sex is great but it can wait.

A) Taking off their clothes for their profile picture?
B) Telling women they look hot?
C) Porno Web/Chat movies? (at them not with them, not pretty from that angle)
D) Typing about what they prefer in the bedroom on the first message.
E) Typing about what they do with other women
F) Typing how their wives dont understand them?
AND for the second question that popped into my mind while typing - ladies/men would you take out a man/woman who is obviously just wants sex and nowt else,.


A- I won't do that, you'd laugh too hard.
B- Well, I mean, you are, an' all.
C-There are Chat movies? Is that like reading a novel?
D- I prefer a bed in the bedroom, otherwise it's just a dressing room.
E- If they're on here, they're not really doing a whole lot with other women, now are they?
F- While at the same time the wives are typing that they don't understand their men.
Nope, I won't take out any man who wants sex with me. His sister may be another story however.

That clear things up?

well that sort of answered that

Soldier bites does it with all the ladies and did make me laugh lots

No I am not miserable and unhappy, not fat but am old, as for fishing with the wrong equipment - I only got me cant go changing for a man (cos we know they hate changing so why should we)

Thanks everyone a lively and interesting set of responses, enjoyed reading them - and to those who think I am miserable sat here with a smile on my face.

What a great bunch of people you are XX

The note said Attached Flirt.How does one do that?

That being said Not a Nurse, we will sometimes use sexual connotations in our profiles by using adjectives such as long, as in longing for you, hard as in hard to cope without you, and wood as in very good at working with wood, all in an attempt to lure in our fish of the day


I can see a new wave of messages coming a mile away based on this post. Surely someone is going to pick up the ball and run with it. It will be dubbed the totally over her head flirtatious gag message. LOL

4 sure, SoldierByte. If we can't laugh at our dating related angst then there's not much point to it all.

Well, I can't flirt with you because you won't let me. However, the bit about not being a nurse is appealing. On Doctor Who, they said that there was an old Earth saying: never trust a nun; never trust a nurse; and never trust a cat. Unfortunately, a Google search only turns up references to Doctor Who. Still, I rather agree.

I can testify with absolute certainty that there do exist men who are both erudite and lascivious, who can flirt captivatingly, without crossing the line into offensive, lewd or boorish couthlessness.
I agree. In fact, I have rarely had any man on here or elsewhere behave toward me in an offensive or lewd manner or with borish couthlessness.

Of course they are. We all have an idea of what flirting is, and we go with it as best we can. A each individual will interpret it differently.

The other day at work I waited on this guy and he was very friendly and polite in my opinion. When I was done one of the girls came over and said "OMG that guy was SO flirting with you!" I was like..."really? I didn't notice." Her idea of flirting, and mine differ considerably. lol

What the OP describes doesn't sound like flirting though. It sounds more like internet come on's with the initial intent to "e-fornicate" lol

Men can be just as good at flirting as women :-)

No I wouldn't go out with a man who "just wants sex." It would be a waste of time and he would end up sadly disappointed

Not sure if you're being serious, but the only thing I see wrong with your profile is;

Smoker? ...Often

"Not sure if you're being serious, but the only thing I see wrong with your profile is;

But there are benefits to smoking. Cigarettes are cheaper than Prozac, and you don't need a prescription to get them. At least they're cheaper so far, and they definitely are if you include the bills from the therapist.

People don't tend to drive erratically and crash cars as a result of smoking.

People rarely, if ever, run off at the mouth from an excess of smoke (though I can think of a few rabid non-smokers I'd like to wallop), and end up in a brawl.

There are an awful lot of men out there who smoke, and it's just as difficult for non-smoking women to be around them, which is why some women started smoking in the first place. Far worse are the ones who chew. That is disgusting.

That's me!! See. Seriously, flirting is to relationships as dancing is too seduction. And flirting is not lewd, crude or rude. It's not overtly sexual. That's hitting on. Flirting is subdued only promising a hint of sex.

I just sent Ms. Not A Nurse a email directly so as not to reveal numbers 27, 43, 32 and 76 of the pulp flirtion writer's Repertoire directly to the bevey of beauties reading the forums. I wonder what she will think?

I meant every word my Circes

Marco, I was not serious lol.

It was a tongue in cheek response to the OP's question. I would imagine everyone has received at least a few rude messages if they've been here for awhile, especially if they were here when the IM was active. But I've found that the majority of people who contact me are very nice and many know how to flirt very well!

a lot of the men who msg., me aren't adept in the art of flirting...

easy banter, flirting, can be a lot of fun...
but unfortunately, a lot gets lost in the written word.
...i know...because my humour doesn't always translate in cyber speak.

for some who do try, the msg., comes across as very stilted...probably not conveying the true personality of the author.
others just sound plain boring.

a crap*y first msg., is usually the end of any communication on my part.

It is ironic that women get nekked photos of men (and based on this discussion's posts this happens more than occasionally) and are offended. Men (or at least me) don't receive nekked photos of women, but if we did we'd be grateful.

Hey...I only got the one. And before I had the chance to cut and paste...they deleted the pic.

There are sites for that...just sayin.

flirting is so much easier in person. however, i'm stuck at home with poison oak and stinging nettle after rescuing my dog from the creek. so, no flirting this weekend.

as to online flirts? i dunno. i'm kind of thick w/o reading body language and responding to pheremones. i really cannot tell unless the man is really "romantic".

the trick when the gentleman in question starts flashing? my dad taught me early on: in the streets of nyc, when confronted by a flasher to assure him that i had seen "way" better than that. gotta hand it to my dad, it has worked every time.
