Do guys prefer subtle or obvious flirting?

[Anonymous]

*as in when a girl flirts with you, would you rather it be subtle or obvious?

Subtle

Obvious

The real question is what do girls prefer? Do they want us to respond or not? If not but you still want to feel flirtatious go with subtle. If you want us to respond you need to be pretty dang obvious.

See... most guys don't want to seem really arrogant. So, if they aren't certain that a girl is flirting they will NOT flirt back because they don't want to seem desperate for a relationship, and they don't just make it obvious either because they don't want to seem arrogant like "obviously you must be flirting because I'm awesome" based on the possibility that you weren't actually flirting. Does that make sense? I feel I worded that poorly.

I like it when it’s subtle enough to notice, but not too blatant that it’s obvious. I operate better when things are subtle. Because I I think that way, we both can move and progress at a comfortable pace and see how we feel and where this actually takes us. If you’re too obvious, it can be overwhelming or poorly received leading both to feel awkward. Also, I think subtle can be more alluring, sexy, and exciting.

if it's subtle i won't be able to tell and i'd doubt that the person is flirting

but i prefer to subtly flirt

I usually (when I actually try to flirt) start off subtle, then make it more obvious

[pickyourcliche]

STart subtle and ramp it up if the guy doesn't react lol personally I don't tend to pick up on subtle but that doesn't mean I want a girl to just up and say "you're hot, let's fuck." Not dissimilar to how it works for women I imagine, you wanna have hints to show interest but you don't want a guy to come on too strong. The methods may vary but it works the same.

Obvpious is always your best bet. Since guys are known to get reject more you as a female have a bet change have that guy approach if you are. Most guys can't read flirting signs well because we r straight forward all that subtle stuff females do is very indecisive and could mean nothing as we see it👌

Something tells me if a girl tried to be obvious, she'd still be subtle as all hell.

"But that awkward eye contact for 3 seconds before I turned away and never looked back was obvious to meeeeee! How come he didn't pick up on it? Ugh, guys are so oblivious!"

[Swr6007]

I get turned off immediately when a girl is obvious with her flirting. Needs to be subtle and let me do the rest

[UltraGamer]

I'm gonna say both as some times I dont get the subtle hints as some girls can just be innocent while others play the innocent card like their lives depend on it. Other times i instantly see the low key flirting and play some right back c:

I prefer a mix of subtle and obvious, but subtle seems more sincere, especially when it's coupled with body language that conveys interest.

Obvious flirting is ok in moderation, but subtle flirting seems more reliable.

Obvious, please. I don't take hints at all, and I've read enough feminist propaganda to live with real reservations about when it is and isn't ok to approach a woman.

[Ripper_E]

Obvious. Girls get mad when a guy can't take a "hint", but it's because we didn't receive one. If you're not obvious, most guys will just take it as friendliness.

[Darceagle]

Make yourself as clear and unambiguous as possible.
Since so many woman go crying to HR at the slightest thing these days we've become so paranoid that we'll deliberately ignore most signs of flirting just to be on the safe side.

[Irishboy42]

Both and watch the BOYS squrim assertive woman are great but will intimidate some.

[BrianMerritt]

Depends on how shy the guy is, and how he responds to the flirting. I will point out that guys are very straightforward, and obvious communication tends to work better with us.

[just_tired]

Anything subtle goes over my head. It's a huge problem for me.

[Takewithagrainofsalt]

I'm pretty stupid when it come to girls flirting with me. I'd rather it be obvious but at the same time i'd probably get a little shy so it would be awkward. lol

[fuzzylamba]

We don't understand subtle flirting, hell even obvious can go over our head

[BeHappy1985]

Obvious, we haven't got a clue when it comes to "subtle" ..

[Anonymous]

Guys are already terrible at reading signs you have to be obvious af.

[Anonymous]

None. No flirting. Just be direct and say that you want to fuck.

[SebShaw82]

Obvious. I don't understand subtlety.

[tartaarsaus]

I am oblivious so will never catch subtle flirting

[johnboymuscles]

If you're subtle i won't even notice. Sorry.
