Is it possible for men to flirt
Posted: 8/1/2009 4:33:49 AM
The burning question on my mind is:

Is it possible for men to flirt without:-
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?

Just wondered men, can us ladies see some flirt lines in Forums so we know what to look for in the messages

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,.

Well, duh, of course men can flirt. Bloody hell, what a silly question.
And I'd go out with a man who was obviously just looking for sex if I was just looking for the same thing. Otherwise, no. Why would you?
I'm confused. I've been away too long. Are these trick questions?

Flirts that are blatantly sexual from strangers aren't appreciated by me, but a tease and a smile go a long way. Many years ago I was out shopping when I was approached with "Are you Cinderella? I have a glass slipper for you". The typed word don't do that line justice. It was the smile and attitude with which is was delivered that have kept it memorable for me.

F) Typing how their wives dont understand them?


Well, my wife didn't understand me. That is why she ran off with another guy, presumably because she did understand him....

Even still, I don't understand her. I mean, I am the perfect guy......How could she leave? ..... :)

Best way of flirting I have found is to listen to the woman and reflect an interest in things she is interest in talking about.

Of course I would go with a woman who just wants me for sex. What would be the down side? No relatives to meet! No need to discuss the nature of our relationship! No discussion of the color to paint the living room walls! Sounds heavenly.....:)

Okay, I'll play along, like you really don't know how men flirt on POF

Men who use lines like dancing cuddling or watching a movie are flirting with your emotions. Phrases such asI adore puppy walking too, or sharing a glass of wine, or I have a big heart are clear indications of some discreet flirting going on.

Men who show up in forums right after you, in forums that you would not expect them to appear, like recipes and cooking, or creative writing, are directly flirting with you.

Men who say I agree with you Not a Nurse, when you say men have behavioral problems..... when they are responding to a forum post of yours. It's not so much the agreeing with you, but the use of your name, as we sometimes do like to say your names over and over and again........are subliminally flirting with you.

While eye contact and smiling are predominantly required for face to face flirting on POF we are reduced to having to use these as our eyes and faces online.

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

Hope this helps Not a Nurse

What is flirt?For me it is fun and game between couple...and is not introduction to sex...
However...a lot of romances start from innocent flirting...

You are quite correct Ms. ankkka ,
and "ours" could... "start from this post"...
if you play your cards well and act right...

I am sooooo good at times that the women do not even know that I am flirting........

Flirting is an art that some do much than others, and it is all tied to your personality, style, and brain power......

So OP..........Maybe, just maybe, it is the type of men you look for, get attention from, hang around, or attract????

Just my opinion..........

Hmmmm...sounds like Moooocow is flirting with NotaNurse

...and if these are ALL of the signs...we women need to start paying more attention...so this now takes the place of the 'direct approach'?

I'm sooo not finding your problem, Notanurse...but that's okay...I'm not complaining, either.

I just wanted to say something to the Men who bash Women, and The Women who bash Men on this site.
And I'll use this persons post as an example.

Ms. not a nurse,
Respectfully, If by any chance there is a man on this site who is capable of flirting and playing, and if he is of the standard that you seem to profess that you are looking for......I can tell you right now he's not going to answer your ad because of the negativity that this post projects, and you will continue to attract the immature guys and their genital pics............

And this goes for the guys also who employ these tactics.

Of course they can flirt without A) to F)! Haven't you ever noticed a smile, a twinkle in the eye and body language? If you are regulating this to only email connections, look for someone who is genuinely excited about your profile.

It's difficult to flirt in initial emails. They are mainly "getting to know more about you".

I remember about a decade ago going to a bookstore one evening to hear the (female) author of some book on flirting give a lecture on the subject. Basically, she was trying to push the idea that merely talking with a member of the opposite sex constituted flirting. I think Harpo Marx would have most certainly disagreed... Yea, her message was mostly aimed at women (another female "expert" giving women bad advice), but there's gotta be a reason you've never heard of her or her book. Needless to say, she didn't have much to say to or for men. So I'm not sure that flirting isn't something only women are allowed to do. About the closet men can get is being charming.

Charming works for me, darling. And I consider that flirtatious!

-hopping on one foot while stripping off my clothes, making sure the web cam is on and typing how hot you are and explaining that my wife doesn't appreciate me telling you (my next mark) about the things I do to others in bed and expect from you the first time we've chatted-

Wait, are you telling me this approach is wrong?

Never made the connection as to getting banned from every singles site until now,,,

-contemplates the cure for this problem-

OK, I think I've got it,,,

Making sure my wife appreciates me telling her about the things I haven't done or intend to do to you and feigning interest in your pics while making sure I am dressing,,,

Thank you, I owe you big time.

When are gals going to accept the "fact" that ........

Gals (most gals) are just as horny as guys are.

Gals are just better/smoother/sneakier in their methods.

Yes OP - there are other ways of flirting ..... other than .......

"I want to lick on you until you pass out"

It's possible, but why tiptoe around all those wonderful topics. Guys typically have to say something to flirt. We don't get to just wave our hair and have the oposite sex flock around us - well, not all of us anyway.

I disagree that it's a silly question. I take it as a blatant insult disguised as a question. It's not a silly question so much as a silly complaint. That may be a small distinction but I'm trying to be as silly as the material put before me. Guess what I have on as I type this (if anything).

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.

That's because you flirt with women who live across the ocean from you - it's safe that way, non?
