I joke around a lot with most people. I don't generally take their gender or attractiveness into account. But I get that because of this many think I am flirting. But honestly from my pov, I've never flirted in my life. I try talking to people and squeeze in a joke here and there.
If I were to talk to someone I liked with intention of dating then I'd try to be just the same though, because why try to fake it. But I'd also be upfront and obvious about prioritizing her over others, THAT would be my tell.
But I get that, at least in my country, this is not the usual ways and will be very missinterpreted most of the times. Which will and has gotten me into a lot of trouble. I wish I could find a good balance there, but I just feel like if I start tuning down personality then I become unable to be that upbeat guy.
It feels like I need the momentum and the flow of good vibes to affirm it into myself. Because I do struggle to stay positive if left too long in my head, avoiding social situations to not risk stirring up the hive in workplaces. I've been there too, tried to find the balance by going too far. No luck.
Back to your question...
Do guy in general flirt with most?
- No.
But the ones who do or seem like they do leave an impression that makes up the pattern you are referring to.
The bulk of guys who don't or aren't proactively social just aren't on your mind. They keep a low profile.
Would u joke around and bother a girl u had just met?
Sure, I would. But I might not mean anything by it. Just trying to get along and have fun. Especially if we just met.
But who is to say that if you were to make a hint about your interest, maybe he'd think about seeing it that way.
If you don't want it to be seen that way then just act friendly and move along or have some fun making friends.
Worst times are when originally there was no agenda and an agenda was assumed so people act tense around them. And then the other assume the wrong reasons for it being tense and they decide to actually make a move.
Yeah, i flirted with him before he started bothering me. But he did joke around a lot. I wouldn't be so comfortable to joke around and bother a guy id just met, because id worry it would come across as if ur interested in them
there's ways u can get along by not poking fun at them
Yes I agree.
For some guys it just come more natural to joke with everyone as they do with their estsblished friends. If that's a guygroup then it might be all about poking holes in one another.
That's no excuse though, just an explaination.
And I get it's a lot different with how girls would behave in the context of how some men might percieve it.
Men though needs to practice being assertive and sociable more in my opinion, which unfortunately looks strange and manifests strange and annoying for many if not most. Especially today when many are decided late bloomers.
If they don't then they'll never learn and will probably be bypassed ny the ones they actually do want or end up alone, bitter and useless.
i asked them to stop and they didn't, then they didn't apologise for *misleading me*
Hmm.
Sounds like a combination of pride and having a lacking toolbox on their part.
Oh well. Try not to hold a grudge on him. It's better for everyone to not waste time on negative emotions. Seen it happen many times. Even if he does, try to forgive and move on as if nothing happened.
Hard stuff, I know. Somehow we keep an eye on the people we trust less automatically. But it's too early for that.
oh this is all in the past but i can't move on from him. im trying to gauge where his mind might have been to see if its worth trying to persue it... i can try but im scared to lol
Oh this was long ago? Does he still seem receptive? Or how does it seem like he took the interaction.
If he's mature then he'd moved on from it and could be potentially interested.
last time i saw him he just looked at me the same way he did back then. we never actually got to speak openly about what happened and i dont even know for sure if he saw my message. i can go and see him probably anytime i wanted to likely in the next month, im just scared he's just gonna laugh and be horrible
What was the message?
You probably should go find out. The ball is obviously in your courtyard.
Just don't go asking for that apology😅 It's just better to start off on equal footing.
If he do turn out to be horrible then that's on him and you'll have dodged a bullet. It's all win to go head on for a woman I'd say, in most cases. If he's smart he'll have respect for that.
You got this! 😉
its me who needs to apologise, i did so in the message but i can't be sure he read it or catched on it was me. he suddenly stopped talking to me for no reason, I've posted a lot about it already cos he's constantly on my mind lol i just need to know if it would make any difference if we were actually able to talk
Ah, a true overthinker. That is exactly my domain 🤣😅.
I was unsure of the context so I wouldn't assume your guilt or not but if that is the case then..
It's a very good quality you've got there, I must say. Many would simply be incapable of apology and double down on pride.
I didn't realise at the time i shouldve done it. Its taken me a while to clock on he was genuinely interested, i dont think im attracted at all but a lot of things don't make sense if he wasn't. I didn't think my actions wouldve affected him like that
'attractive, darn it
It's never easy to catch on what the right thing to do is in the moment. So long as we do what we can to make up for it or at the very least learn from it. If he saw something about you then I'm sure there is something to see, it's easy to look past it for our own sakes, especially while overthinking.
Worst case, you seem to be a very mature person. There's a lot you can do to convince someone who is willing to listen.
How did it affect him?
Ill message u
In general, guys flirt with most girls that interact with them.
If the girl is ugly, the average guy will not engage in flirtation with them. This is because doing so would effectively signal an invitation insinuating that they welcome flirtatious reciprocity. We like to avoid signalling to girls that we are attracted to them if we are actually not attracted to them.
If the guy perceives the girl as in a higher league than himself, and if the guy isn't eager to risk rejection, then he won't take the initiative to flirt with that type of girl either. He'll basically become docile, and this is how a guy gets friendzoned. However, if the girl has already shown an interest and made it clear to the guy that they can coexist on flirtatious grounds, then the guy will definitely reciprocate flirtation in order to sustain the romance in the atmosphere.
So to summarise, guys generally don't INITIATE flirtation with the lower end or the higher end of girls.
But the middle is goldilocks.
Then there are guys like @Degenerate who only flirt with other guys.
Lol I'm never reading any of these ever again
@Jamie05rhs you've clearly never read his mytake
@Degenerate Oh! Which one? I'm curious now.
He only has one
@Degenerate I just read it! 😂😂👍
Guys?
There are introverts, extroverts, singles, in relationships, male strippers etc.
Which ones are you asking about? It is mostly individual, or even based on how carefree (or connived) a particular outgoing/extroverted guy is.
Introverts typically don't flirt openly (but it can ve sensed when one is interested).
Girls have commoditised the 'right to sex whenever they feel like it' to the point they demand such 'rights'. Guys, some pretend to be keeping up, others have given up. That female obsession with sex as fun doesn't work for most guys (they're a lot more vulnerable/a lot less protected by media and feminism and female rights movements).
Whatever a girl does, someone justifies. Whatever a guy does, someone faults/attacks. At least in USA (home of porn industry) and the UK (home of prostitution culture).
Your poll is flawed because not all men are flirts.
For men who do flirt, they could be bored. Feeling sad or lonely. The woman is attractive or they have a flirting acquaintance who they always chat up a bit.
Then they flirt because she is attractive and they want to progress with the woman.
If a man has a secret crush, even if he isn't shy, he will act weird. He will go cold and highly observant. If you encounter a man fairly regularly and he seems like he has some grudge against you and you did nothing, he wants you in the worst way.
So he is kind of mad at you because he has to now deal with emotions and a loss of control and that is a heinous crime you have now perpetrated. These are usually messed up people. Or he really wants you... BAD!
Yeah this happened to me, just suddenly stopped everything he did one day for no reason :/
@Monalisa77 Which happened to you?
The guy cutting me off. I mean i did yell at him but he didn't cut me. off straight after that so i dont think that was the reason
@Monalisa77 I never said anything about cutting off.
What do you mean by going cold then?
@Monalisa77 just their demeanor is like they are working hard to be emotionless. Cutting off is like boycotting you or something.
Yeah but whats the difference? He literally couldn't even look at me and ill never know the real reason :/
I certainly dont buy the whole he found out i liked him n cut me off so i didn't think i had a chance, he was v forward n constantly bothering me even when i asked him not to, he said these lines and did stuff that makes it incredibly hard to buy he wouldn't think some girl might end up liking him
Why not just friendzone me straight away, id have got the hint that way better than completely cutting me off
@DermalPunch "He wants you in the worst way." LMAO! This is so accurate!! 😂. I know because I have been like that around a girl that I have a huge crush on. I get so nervous and anxious that I get really stressed out and just tense up and scowl. But I don't hate her at all! I just hate myself for not knowing what to do or what to say to her.
"just their demeanor is like they are working hard to be emotionless."
And yes. THIS!
"He literally couldn't even look at me and ill never know the real reason :/ "
@Monalisa77 He can't look at you because you're SIZZLING HOT and he doesn't want to MELT!! 😅😅
Im so tempted to message him again cos i can't move on at all its impossible
Im getting conflicted opinions all the time n it makes me so confused
@Monalisa77 You're getting conflicting opinions because people are only getting a piece of your story when you're summarizing it in one or two lines. So people are misunderstanding the nature of your situation. That is what is happening with @Jamie05rhs right now. I am confident that you would not be getting such a wide range of opinions if people knew the whole story of your situation.
He DID NOT change like that because he figured out you liked him. He already knew that. I don't know where you got that idea, but that's definitely not what happened. You are correct about never knowing the reason for the sudden change... and only because he was too much of a baby to be willing to have a conversation with you. But what that change was, you'll never know. Honestly... you would be insane to message this guy. What are you going to say that you haven't already said? For my part, my advice remains the same. You really need to let this go. But if you are seeking others opinions, I urge you to like... DM them and explain your whole situation. Otherwise, people are giving you advice for situation, that simply do not match the situation you're in. That is why they are conflicting. Explain your situation fully to anyone you seek advice from. 🙂
@Jamie05rhs thisnone is always SUUUUCCCHHH a giveaway. Lol. I do it too so fair game.
@DermalPunch Oh, is it really obvious? Lol
@SteveSmith1985 I apologize if my opinion is wrong, if I am missing some important facts.
Nope, its the jist. I get different opinions from different people
@Jamie05rhs Yes, you are missing a lot of the story. Which is fair, there's a lot to it. But yes, you are missing many important pieces.

Salesmen flirt with anyone to get them to seal the deal. No not every guy who flirts with a woman is attracted to them…
That wildly different from guy to guy. Some flirt with everyone. Some flirt just because they are hot. Some flirt only if they are attracted to them. And some never flirt.
Some even believe that forms of flirting is not really flirting but conversational banter.
True
Accurate.
I only flirt with women I think are attract8ve until I find out they aren't angle. But nowadays I rarely flirt with women anymore, for a multitude of reasons. One of the reasons was, I was tired of giving a woman I genuinely found attractive a compliment, and her response would be a facial expression that would be on the level of me just murdering her cat with my truck.
So I don't really care much anymore to flirt with women. Getting treated like a hit again and again got real old real fast.
The options with every pretty girl and the ones they find attractive are confusing as they mean the same thing. A man thinks a girl is pretty (sexually attractive) if he finds her attractive. But he cannot flirt with every pretty girl as he has to consider opportunity, factor in his own confidence level and experience, etc.
I dont think there's a general rule for relationships like that. For example, a hot guy with low self esteem may avoid talking to the hottest girl in the room, but would speak with the average girl instead.
So he avoid talking to me because he has low self esteem?
To varying degrees based on attraction.
If they find her ok they will flirt a little and the more attraction she is the more motivated they would be.
But once you get to top level attractiveness guys will typically be intimated and opt out of flirting altogether
Only with the ones I find attractive and if I feel something else beside physical attraction.
Unfortunately I'll have to go a psychologist because I honestly never developed the confidence nor the skills to have a partner. I don't know when that will be, there still lot of stuff going on in my life.
As a man, it's, in my (M21) opinion, a bit hard to find unattractive girls these days lol.
When I'm in a group, I just focus on smiling at (and if the sparks make the current work, talking to) the one that is particularly catching my eye.
For most people, these women would be unattractive, but I know what my brain is doing. It's finding cute and shy ones, or in the contrary, very bold and open girls. They don't have to be attractive. Just feminine enough to attract me. Subtle difference.
I have never flirted with a woman who I did not consider at least slightly attractive in some way. That said, just because I flirted with her doesn't mean I actually want to pursue a serious relationship every single time, there's more than just attraction to a relationship.
Me=not flirted yet but had interactions with lots of girls.
My friends=some have flirted with only those girls that tolerate it. But nothing outside of that.
So, as per my expereince overall, most guys just don't flirt with girls. Only a small portion does. But they are seen more, naturally.
Some of those guys flirt for real, some for fun as the girls also take it for fun. No loss there, I guess.
Some will with everyone. Some are selective. I don't actually flirt. If I am out and I find her interesting, I will cold approach if she seems to be single.
What is cold approach? Ignoring her? Being mean to her?
No, just the opposite. A cold approach is when you see someone, that person interests you in some way, so you go up and start talking with the goal of getting a date, or at least seeing if it is worth continuing. This way you do not invest a bunch of time and effort only to get rejected. It makes it far more efficient to find a date.
Cold approach just means you never really met her before and don't have an official business reason to talk to her, you start talking because you are interested. Usually in public, such as seeing a pretty woman on the sidewalk on a busy street and then going up and talking to her.
I'm trying to be bolder and shoot my shot at guys who I find hot lol. If I end up disliking then after knowing them more I can just let them know we aren't compatible and move on.
That being said, what I find hot isn't always based on appearance. It could just be their energy, the way they carry themselves, style etc that also factor in their overall appeal to me.
Practice makes perfect. I definitely encourage more flirting hehe 😉
If we're single and bored we will flirt with anyone. You can't give any one girl too much attention or otherwise she'll think you're harassing her. So it's best to spread the love around.
And what if theyre not bothering other girls the way they sre with you?
@Monalisa77 Then either one of two things is true: He's not interested in you at all, OR he's VERY interested in you!
You can’t generalize. Some will flirt with every girl. Other won’t even flirt with the most beautiful woman in the world. If you’re asking about a specific person you have to provide more details about his personality
I flirt with no one. I prefer to remain mysterious and play mind games until they flirt with me, then I reject them. Total sigma bro!
(Just kidding, it depends on what kind of mood I'm in. Sometimes I even flirt with older women)
It depends on how confident he is, If he is fairly Confident he would probably flirt with most Girls.
If he is not that Confident he would probably only flirt with Girls who has started talking to him.
I don't flirt, if I had to though, it would be with a girl that I found attractive, both physically and mentally.
I would only ever talk to or show interest in a girl that I am interested in. Not the type of guy to cast a wide net and see what comes to the surface.
I don't flirt with every girl. Not with the ones I find attractive. I only flirt with the one I want.
I flirt with all but the nest I find attractive I flirt with more. Her attitude is what makes her attractive. There's one I flirt with a lot. I know nothing will happen, but still flirt.
