    Even when single I feel in the female oblivious to guys flirting catergory. I've always been comfortable around guys and would be the guy to girl translator for my friends. I grew up a tomboy with three brother and parents who were the Boy Scout leaders for their troop. I got dragged along to many events because we lived in the country and my parent didn't want me to be home alone for the weekend in case something happened. I'm also an engineer. The only way I could ever tell if it was someone new and they were blantently obvious. If it was a guy I knew for a while, I totally didn't catch on. Ask my husband, he kind of thinks it's funny

    I don't recall ever being flirted with so either people don't or I'm oblivious.

    Well ok arguably once, in school. But I'm not sure her showing off her legs, staring at me and batting her eyes and a few minutes later arranging for me to receive a note along the line of "X thinks you're hot, do you like her. [ ] Yes, [ ] No" qualifies as flirting. I'm pretty sure if you get a questionnaire it's beyond that to an overt expression of interest.

    I am oblivious to almost everything.

    When I am flirting, they're completely oblivious.

    When I'm not flirting, they're convinced I am.

    :grumble:

    I thought I was just bad at it.

    I must admit that I am totally oblivious to flirting or any kind of subtlety or body language. But in my case it's not just a "man" thing. =P

    Back when I was in college a girl asked me out to coffee. I told her I didn't like coffee. I can't believe I was so dumb.

    What is this flirting you speak of? Is it a spell or some magic?!?! I must study this more closely!

    Good lesson then ladies - Go obvious to avoid oblivious.

    Just pull your tits out and shake em around a bit. That'll get 'em.

    hahhaha

    It's not just men. Women are oblivious as well. I think it comes down to (to some degree) a person's individual 'level' of confidence. Perception is everything.

    I realize it's not only a man thing, I just like heterosexism. :laugh: :wink:

    Anyway, it seems that a lot of men (and some women) are oblivious to it. But I agree, some people can misconstrue being nice for flirting!

    I have never once noticed until the person either told me what they were doing or someone else did.

    Anybody ever find that flirting increases when either are married? Is it the thrill of the unobtainable ?

    I like to be upfront about flirting, so I just latch my vagina on to any area of exposed skin like a barnacle on a dock until they ask me out for dinner.
