I know I’m an old man but even women my age expect to be flirted with in a conversation. It’s normal. Why didn’t I learn this thirty years ago? if I had learned this in my twenties I would have been a vice-president of Apple computers right now or the pope or something. Sigh.

Yeah mate… I was always too parnaoid to have decent relationships with girls. I could talk the talk but I always got weird and stuffed it all up. Nowadays I have some game and I’m old and past most of it! Doh! Hearing you on that one!

Doing no porn just to see where it takes me, hopefully my game goes up. I have a feeling it is the root of my problem.
yep propped up until you were in a position of power and then bled for all your worth…

I don’t have trouble flirting but I prefer being real with women.

My game has drastically improved lately.
Hahah that doesn’t mean I don’t think the ladies here are attractive. Calm down Selene, Jesspresso, Anna1, Ninjastar and of course Sarad. Sorry if I missed anyone don’t be all mad at me for thinking you’re pretty people inside and out. Gotta throw a shout out to Ish. Don’t worry I won’t tell you daily. cough Goldenrex! LOL… there enough editing on this post. And of course I respect your man for those of you that have one.
I think it depends on the social class and the beauty of the woman. The prettier and higher social class the woman is, the less likelihood she will flirt with a man who is of a lower class status. However, if she’s ugly and is of a lower class status, she will flirt with most men who have a higher class status than her.
I think it has to do with age.
When I was younger,
Flirting made me nervous.
Now, I flirt with everyone.
Construction workers down the street, gas station clerk, hot jogger, female yoga instructor,
And I did all of that TODAY.
Its kind of just the way in interact with people.
Maybe I like attention,
Who knows.
I have a problem…

It depends on the woman. Some don’t even want a man to approach them while others will flirt with everyone in the room. How they were treated by men in the past and sometimes their sexuality plays a role in that One size doesn’t fit all. And how beautiful they are doesn’t necessarily play a part in the equation.

Yes I’m very intimidated by guys coming up to flirt with me. It is especially annoying if I am on my way somewhere or trying to get work done someplace in public and someone tries to flirt with me. I don’t want to discourage guys from reaching out because I know I am just very fearful/timid. I think what I would tell guys is if you’re going to randomly approach a woman to flirt, make sure she doesn’t look like she’s busy and then be polite/respectful, if she doesn’t show interest gracefully back away. I’ve had strange men follow me practically all the way to class before, or even grab my arm to yank me back when I tried to cross the street away. That’s not ok.
If I was still single I probably could’ve picked up the pizza delivery girl the other day…she wanted to talk to my dogs a long time and then when I tipped her she kind of stood there like…are you going to come on to me? I just thanked her and went inside with my ham and cheddar sandwiches…sigh.

No, no, no, no. Would u want an 80 year old woman to flirt with u? Noooooooooo. I am beating myself up for not trying to hook up with girls cuz i am gonna be past my prime in a matter of 5 years or so. No, i will not let ur comment kill my buzz. What about married ones, do they love being tempted to cheat?
Nooooo…ooooo…oooo
Flirting is very fun.
No restrictions on age, IQ, wealth, beauty, marital status…none, and the reason it’s harmless is because it’s not intended to be taken further than the initial stage of playful…but that don’t mean it couldn’t if both parties were willing…?
I think the older generation seems to be the best charmers. Maybe practice makes perfect?

I hardly flirt with anyone. When I do it becomes more meaningful. It is a bit of a double edged sword… kinda like dancing. In the way that when I’ve danced with other girls they wonder sometimes about that one dance. Hah. But I won’t dance, don’t ask me… like Fred astaire… Well at least not today or madam with you.

Me, with my flat affect and rigid mannerisms, I don’t flirt that successfully. I need to learn, because in some circumstances flirting is not only liked, it is expected.
