Why do humans flirt?

[Oeditpus Rex]

[siligut]

1. I voted it's fun.

Because I am married and DH would not appreciate me getting or giving nekkid pics. He doesn't seem to care if I flirt on the internet, esp because I am just kidding with the young males.

[Pierre.Suave]

19. DAMNIT

:cry:

You mean all this time you have been leading me on for nothing?

*sniff*




















:P

[siligut]

25. Oh no! You're different!

:P :hi:

[Pierre.Suave]

28. oh sure

I bet you say that to everyone.

:cry:

[siligut]

31. Are you flirting with me in a very whiny, cute, little boy kind of way?

Now see, this is fun!

[Pierre.Suave]

35. Lol

I never whine

And I am a big boy...

:P

[LeftyMom]

2. Free cookware!

:evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. Toasters?

Or did I miss out on some kinda offer from Farberware? :shrug:

[LeftyMom]

4. No.

Just a joke about my giftmas present from flvegan.

I figured I'd take the high road and not joke about sex or diy pr0n for once. In retrospect, that probably just confused people.

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. Sure confused me

Who would ever expect you to take the high road? :P

[old mark]

17. LM, I was confused from the begining......nt

[pitohui]

5. to test and see if there's a chance of sex happening

it is not fun, it's stressful, so that theory is out the door as far as i'm concerned

[Tikki]

6. Other.....

If you don't mate/reproduce successfully your lineage disappears from the gene-pool.
The drive to succeed is great.
Some people have to flirt to get any ___.

[DS1]

7. this thread is confusing me

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. Go buy some cookware

It'll all become clear.

[AlCzervik]

10. i don't remember.

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. C'mere

I'll remind ya.



:evilgrin:

[Taverner]

11. Yes yes and yes

All of the above

Don't forget every guy thinks he's James Bond, and after we make some double entendre the "wah wah WAH WAH" music breaks out in our heads.

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. I don't think I'm James Bond

I think I'm R. Crumb.

[DarkTirade]

14. Because I can?

:shrug:

[lizziegrace]

15. Option #4

All of the above...

:)

[In_The_Wind]

16. I'd vote for Option #4.

Maybe a write in vote is best this time.

[BeachBaby]

18. I don't know how to flirt.

:)

[Pierre.Suave]

20. No

you certainly dont... ;)

[BeachBaby]

21. Hey!

I'm just me - read into it what you will. :P

:pals:

[TZ]

26. Suuuure you don't

and I don't know anything about science....:P

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. Why don't you come over to my place and we can look in my reference books.

Nudge nudge.

[datasuspect]

23. because they like to fuck

[unpossibles]

24. All of the above?

And the free toaster, of course.

[Guava Jelly]

27. I flirt because it's fun

:)

[RetroLounge]

29. What is this flirting thing you mention?

:shrug:

RL

[Bucky]

30. I don't think it's validating, but I still feel the need to vote blue on these things.

[Skittles]

32. attention without intention

it's fun

[Lucy Goosey]

33. ...tequila?

Or sometimes beer.

[KamaAina]

34. Just to piss me off

:eyes:

[mcctatas]

36. Flirt?

what is this flirting of which you speak? :shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

37. Get that nose fixed and maybe you'll find out

[mcctatas]

38. !!@*&%(@#&(@# (!@!*))%()!) !@($#(**+!#

Bite me!

:hug:

[Zomby Woof]

39. Because Dodgers fans are sexy?

:shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

41. *cough*

:rofl:

[elshiva]

40. I just won the Kellogs Corn Flake Competition.

All the ice cream I can eat.

[Fire Walk With Me]

42. Ego reinforcement/self-seeking.

[Danger Mouse]

43. Cause I might get the chance to emotionally manipulate and control somebody before

tossing them aside like a used doll.

[reyd reid reed]

44. What happened to the

'all of the above' option?

[Oeditpus Rex]

45. I figured everybody would write in that one

[Lucian]

46. I never did like flirting.

It seems like a waste of time. If you like someone, then just ask them out. Flirting seems like, to me, that it's beating around the bush.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

47. It makes the day go by in a most delightful way...

It takes the edge off of tedious and mundane tasks.
