My policy is not to flirt with women. I wait for them to flirt with me. Prior to proceeding after that I require that the woman in question sign a five page release from.
I don't initiate flirting no matter how much I like a person, and I suspect many women don't too. A lot of women do not appreciate flirting, I appreciate men who are capable of engaging in a proper conversation, cheap flirting tells me that he probably said the same things to tons of women.. Most women realise that, you'd be very mistaken to think that if you do not flirt, women will 😅
Let’s see there is adult conversation which in the some mutually agreeable and respectful circumstances may lead to more (the conversation shifting to the personal hinting at possible interest beyond discussing the events of the day (polite flirting or conveying politely possible romantic interest in shorthand terms) and what you describe as “cheap flirting” by which I think you may mean stupid “pick up lines”, etc.?@BitterSweetPotato
Well it would be good not to mix business with pleasure regardless, there needs to be clear boundaries and permission and all of that. Get to know one another and slow things down, too many expect instant gratification these days.
@jackjjackson my point is...it is a choice...men don't HAVE to behave like Neanderthals...they choose to. If men who have evolved spoke out against what their brothers do to women...things would change.. you're letting them off with "boys will be boys" BS and thaqt is why it continues...the weenie always takes you males down
Fernie, I’ve condemned and continue to condemn that busive behavior. Feel free to read my commentary on the subject prior to making inaccurate judgments please. @Fernie
I don't think it needs to be that complicated. It's not really that these were different times, because it doesn't really matter what century or decade you consider, it was never OK to grab someone, you're not having sex with, by the pussy, it was never OK to take pictures, while they're asleep, of you simulating a boob grab, it was never OK to drop your pants and start masturbating (unless she asks you to). Some really simple rules ;-)
It’s not like i really do that lol. Our friend Copper Cicada made a good point the other day when he questioned whether there are any role models (outside of family members or close personal acquaintances) anymore. When I give it some thought I ended up having having to go back to historical figures. When I give that more thought it seems like a number of them have been tarnished over time and who knows what skeletons may be in their closets as yet unexposed. This concept of humans being in a lot of cases flawed and who isn’t in at least some way is something that social media, modern technology and communication has turned into every day reality @Northwest
Not that i have one but in the current climate i think i would insist on written permission from both parents before consenting to date and ask that one or both parents be present for the duration !
I've never had this concern. But I only flirt where it's appropriate and when I'm serious. So everyone is age appropriate, relationship status appropriate, and there is a connection. So be married it's a non issue.
@jackjjackson he's nice and calm now, but i bet there was a time when Copper would be camped out in a hotel room having a coke fueled sex binge with four or five russian hookers. LOL
