Is it possible for men to flirt



...Lots of men don't know how to flirt...or don't know when you're flirting with them....sometimes you have to throw a brick at their head to get their attention.

Ladies,
If a misogynist flirts has the world come to an end one second prior? The forums are rife with testosterone-inJecTed flirtation toward ye fairer sexual beings. But alas?, no run-of-the-mill misogynist can (and aren't nearly all of them run-of-the-mill) "get it up" in the flirtation department of the written word - not even the PhD club.

Can we have a little more invention on the topic, Ladies and Germs. Exaggerate and lie if necessary.

I think the initial conversation is the most important. Be it the ice breaker, the line to let her know I am interested and to see if she is interested.
Here are a few suggestions.
If you ladies would let us know which one will work on you we could all save a lot of time.

I have not been drinking, I'm just intoxicated by you.
I was so enchanted by your beauty that I ran into that wall over there. So I am going to need your name and number for insurance purposes.
If beauty were time, you'd be eternity.
If I were a stop light, I'd turn red everytime you passed by, just so I could stare at you a bit longer.
Babe, your beauty makes the morning sun look like the dull glimmer of the moon.
You'd better direct that beauty somewhere else, you'll set the carpet on fire.
If I received a nickel for everytime I saw someone as beautiful as you, I'd have five cents.
For a moment I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Now I see that I am very much alive, and heaven has been brought to me.
You look cold. Want to use me as a blanket?
Can I have directions? [To where?] To your heart.
Do you have a BandAid? I just scraped my knee falling for you.
Be unique and different, say yes.
Do you have a map? I'm getting lost in your eyes.
Fascinating. I've been looking at your eyes all night long, 'cause I've never seen such dark eyes with so much light in them.
Most people like to watch the Olympics, because they only happens once every 4 years, but I'd rather talk to you cause the chance of meeting someone so special only happens once in a lifetime.
You're so beautiful that you made me forget my pickup line.
You shouldn't wear makeup. It's messing with perfection!
If I had a star for every time you brightened my day, I'd have a galaxy in my hand.
If a thousand painters worked for a thousand years, they could not create a work of art as beautiful as you.
You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
Damn, if being sexy was a crime, you'd be guilty as charged!
I was wondering if you had an extra heart mine seems to have been stolen
There isn't a word in the dictionary for how good you look.
Me without you is like a nerd without braces, A shoe without laces, aSentenceWithoutSpaces
Is there an airport nearby or is that just my heart taking off?
When I'm older, I'll look back at all of my crowning memories, and I'll think of the day my children were born, the day I got married, and the day that I met you.
Are you from Tennessee? Because you're the only ten I see!
I must be a snowflake, because I've fallen for you.
Are you an interior decorator? When i saw you the room became beautiful.
There is something wrong with my cell phone. It doesn't have your number in it.
Baby, if you were words on a page, you'd be what they call FINE PRINT!
You must be a hell of a thief because you stole my heart from across the room.
Do you have a twin sister? Then you must be the most beautiful girl in the world!
You look beautiful today, just like every other day.
Excuse me, but I think I dropped something. MY JAW!
If you were a booger I'd pick you first.
Do you know what I did last night? I looked up at the stars, and matched each one with a reason why I love you.
Excuse me, I think you have something in your eye. Oh wait, it's just a sparkle.
If this bar is a meat market, you must be the prime rib.
Are you lost ma'am? Because heaven is a long way from here.
I'm fighting the urge to make you the happiest woman on earth tonight.
My love for you is like diarrhea, I just can't hold it in.
Hello, I'm a thief, and I'm here to steal your heart.
Hey baby you're so fine you make me stutter, wha-wha-what's your name?
I bet you $20 you're gonna turn me down.
I'm not actually this tall. I'm sitting on my wallet.
Do you have the time? [Tells you the time] No, the time to write down my number?
Would you grab my arm so I can tell my friends I've been touched by an angel?
Hey... Didn't I see your name in the dictionary under "Shazaam!"?
Rejection can lead to emotional stress for both parties involved and emotional stress can lead to physical complications such as headaches, ulcers, cancerous tumors, and even death! So for my health and yours, JUST SAY YES!
I seem to have lost my phone number. Can I have yours?
You are like a candy bar: half sweet and half nuts.
How was heaven when you left it?
I don't have a library card, but do you mind if I check you out?
I didn't know that angels could fly so low!
There must be something wrong with my eyes, I can't take them off you.
You are so fine, I wish I could plant you and grow a whole field of you!
Is your name "swiffer"? 'Cause you just swept me off my feet.
Are you going to kiss me or do I have to lie to my diary?
If stars would fall everytime I would think of you, the sky would soon be empty.
Damn, if being sexy was a crime, you'd be guilty as charged!
You know, Dr. Phil says I'm afraid of commitment...Want to help prove him wrong?
Your lips look so lonely.... Would they like to meet mine?
Baby, you're so sweet, you put Hershey's outta business.
Did the sun come out or did you just smile at me?
So there you are! I've been looking all over for YOU, the woman of my dreams!
Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?
The only thing your eyes haven't told me is your name.
Excuse me, I just noticed you noticing me and I just wanted to give you notice that I noticed you too.
Somebody better call God, cuz heaven's missing an angel!
Did it hurt? (Did what hurt?) When you fell out of heaven?
I know milk does a body good, but baby, how much have you been drinking?
If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put 'U' and 'I' together.
Wouldn't we look cute on a wedding cake together?
Your daddy must have been a baker, because you've got a nice set of buns.
Your legs must be tired because you've been running through my mind all night.
Was your father a thief? 'Cause someone stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes.
[Look at her shirt label.] When they say, "What are you doing?" You respond: "Yep! Made in heaven!"
Your eyes are blue, like the ocean. And baby, I'm lost at sea.
You know how they say skin is the largest organ on the human body? Not in my case.
My name isn't Elmo, but you can tickle me any time you want to.
You be the Dairy Queen and I'll be your Burger King: You treat me right, and I'll do it your way.
(Ask a person for the time) 9:15? So today is May 1, 2008, at 9:15 PM, thanks I just wanted to be able to remember the exact moment that I met the woman of my dreams.
Pinch me. [Why?] You're so fine I must be dreaming.
Ouch! My tooth hurts! [Why?] Because you are soooo sweet!
I'm not trying to impress you or anything, but... I'm Batman!
You must be from Pearl Harbor, because baby, you're the bomb.
You must be Jamaican, because Ja maican me crazy.
When God made you, he was showing off.
Baby, you are so fine I could put you on a plate and sop you up with a biscuit.
Is there a rainbow today? I just found the treasure I've been searching for!
You remind me of a magnet, because you sure are attracting me over here!
Hey, is it just me, or are we destined to be married?
Let's make like a fabric softener and 'Snuggle
I didn't see any stars in the sky tonight, the most heavenly body was standing right next to me.
If I could reach out and hold a star for everytime you've made me smile, I'd hold the sky in the palm of my hand.
Well, here I am. What were your other two wishes?
Well, I AM telepathic, and I can tell that you love me. Right? [NO!] Darn, I always get "love" and "lust" mixed up.
Hello. Cupid called. He says to tell you that he needs my heart back.

...Somehow I can't see that one going over well with the ladies

Now that one I like, almost as much as this one.... told to me by a male contractor btw, he said, "You know what Mae, men are like floor tiles, you lay em right the first time, you'll be able to walk all over them for the rest of your life".......I laughed so hard when I heard that one.

OMG, I heard one like this 40 years ago! A guy told me I was prime rib in a hamburger world. Unfortunately, he was definitely hamburger, and not very well cooked, either.

Intelligence and a good sense of humor work for me, not a one line ice breaker.

The absolute best flirt line anyone ever said to me was, "you are the kind of woman men fight wars over"...blew me away. Too bad the guy was wrong for me in so many ways...it was a GREAT line.

I agree with you Ismene, that the one liners are not the only thing involved in flirting, they are in fact, just one liners.

But I don't think men have stopped flirting by any means. Lots of men I communicate with on here are flirting their ***s off.
I ran into a man the other day.... we had worked together for 20 years, flirted the whole 20 years. He was happily married to a wonderful woman and I had the sense to never take him seriously. He had the sense to never take me seriously. But we flirted like crazy, and developed a warm friendship.

Flirting on line is difficult. So much of flirting is involved with body language and eye movement. If i write a man and say " "I'm tired today" Doesn't mean much.

Give me that man in person and I can take the words "I'm tired today" and make them sizzle. Bet you can too.

I said he said it, I did not say I went out with him. But he was a nice guy, just unimaginative. And had no ambition.

Of course we can flirt!


It can be how we give you that certain look from across a room.
How our eyebrows lift ever so slight as we look into your eyes.
Giving you alittle smile as we approach you and let out a "hello" to you.
How we turn red when we make our attempt at "small" talk with you.

Or the old stand by,"If you show me yours;I will you show you mine!

Men flirt with me in RL, they don't flirt w/me on the forums, and generally not that much in email. I think I come across in writing much differently than I come across in RL.... Also, I am not any good at flirting online......

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.


But, we've never even met! How could you know me so well? (had to say that since the straight line was so good!) Actually, I don't much flirt at all online, doing so primarily face to face. And, I only realized I was doing it after I got married, perhaps because I'm not trying to accomplish any prurient thing by the flirting -- just having fun.

I only wish I got good at flirting while I was single -- it might have been a much more pleasurable time than it was.

Posted: 10/23/2009 2:12:47 PM
Most all of you misread the OP's statement and question. She wants to know if men can flirt without a crutch of the kind she listed.
Nurse, you left one out...
Without alcohol or drugs...

I have the same complaint.
I get so sick of having to qualify every valid complaint in here or get attacked by the same few people and you know who you are BUT, there are good men that do not fall into this category. I see them regularly.

THOUGH, most men always seem to need a crutch, but what burns me more than needing these things are the even greater number that contacts you with a massive open ended empty gap, EXPECTING you to start up heavy flirting and/or sex talk, because they are too lazy or insecure to do it themselves. And when you don't, then all of the lies they just told you fall flat as they disappear never to be heard from again. Great. Glad they disappear. My complaint is that SO MANY exist to begin with. It is creepy, gross and pathetic and says a lot of bad stuff about the bulk of the male population. All they want is for a mass majority of women to get them off over the internet and MAYBE if you intrigue them, they may pay you a visit to just have sex. How sick are this greater population of men these days, that I know are sitting here reading this and cheering for the men I and the OP describe???

OP: ... ladies/men would you take out a man/woman who is obviously just wants sex and nowt else,.

Yes, but on three conditions: 1) Her word is her bond; 2) She guarantees I'll enjoy it; 3) No money exchanges hands *hits red Easy button* *thinks reading between this one-liner answers OP's first question, too*

Moral of this post: Ignore all "most men/women" statements. Pay attention to what a poster posts of themselves versus how much crap some can and do repeat ad naseum and how much (crap) some insist on writing that is not about themselves.

Only as sick as most of the female population is...

Really do you think they are just doing it cause it doesnt get results????

There are more women actively chasing men nowadays...and only for sex...exactly why do you think men are acting the way they do...many just assume cause you are online you will be a willing partner.

It isnt JUST the men...it's women also....so stop thinking that men are to blame...they arent and the ones who arent doing this are tired of hearing their sex blamed for it.

It takes two to tango

I'm sure I'm missing some kind of ocean liner here, but to my knowledge, no one has ever flirted with me. Or vice versa. (I did come close, once.) Ya, I have seen flirting going on around me, and know what (at least some of) it looks like. But I guess the thing I *really* want to know is what is the purpose of flirting?

Help!!
