    Why cant a fitness site just be a fitness site. Complimenting or teasing / joking is fine but does every forum on the internet have to turn into a dating site, cum on.

    Oh, you managed to keep it going almost to the end....

    I flirt with all my friends...male and female.

    But there's a line that many here cross. If you are married, or engaged, or 2 days from walking up the frikken isle, it is not and never okay to send nekkid pics or talk about sexual acts you would like to do. This to me is cheating. I don't care if you're across the ocean, in a different state or living next door. It makes me sick. And the people that encourage this are just as bad.

    Many of my male friends are married and i would never say something to them that would get them in *kitten* with their wives.

    If you're single--then sure. If thats what you want to do.

    Complimenting is one thing.
    But flirting, is a BIG no for me!! its kind of in a way of cheating.
    Thats just my personal opinion.

    to say ...hey youre looking good...keep up the good work...thats complimenting
    hey baby...you are starting to look sooo fine after losing that weight...i gonna have to get those numbers...

    if you have a partner....Be very careful on what you say to someone...because it could be a compliment and they can take it as flirting.

    I love these general sweeping questions, some single people who be mortified if someone was flirty with them on the internet, some married folk flirt with their internet friends, it all depends on the person and their relationship.

    I flirt, I've posted a few questionable pictures, I've explained some rather inappropriate things to people, it all depends, rules are fluid, unless we're talking about the MFP rules, those are rigid. *winks at Steven*

    If you're not married or have a significant other, it is OK. I flirt all of the time on sites.

    To try to say this in the nicest possible way....this is not an Internet dating site. If that is what you are interested in, than I happen to believe this is not the site for you. This site is simply for those who are wanting to be healthy and I like the fact that for the most part people here are supportive and decent. It would be nice if it stayed that way. I hope I didn't offend anyone, but this site and my friends on it are important to my success so far.

    I agree with most..if isingle go for it
    IF in committed relationship or married, than I still say a BIG NO to flirting on line
    I would say before you say something think about how u would feel if your SO was doing the same....if it would piss u off..dont do it!!
    The line is different for everyone

    Flirting on the interwebs is the functional equivalent of unprotected anal sex. Consequently, I have nailed a whole lotta y'all in the keister. Bareback.

    Yeah, if your single or in a relationship where that kind of behavior won't cause problems.

    Absolutely ok. It isnt like I am booking flights to go see all these men, that if I were single I would consider it. I won't cheat. The guys I am flirty with are aware that I am unavailiable. I am not sending any nekkid pics, I am not calling them and having phone sex. They aren't feeding me, Fu@#ing me or financing me, so it is no threat.

    Love this!!!

    For me and my husband flirting is ok. Anything beyond that, is cheating. No sexual talk about anyone other than your spouse, that is not okay. We are both very flirty people in the first place. Its natural. You can't just muffle that. I've been flirting with people since I was a baby! Flirting isn't sexual or bad, unless you make it that way. I do however, make it a point not to flirt with other people in front of my husband. He does the same. Unless, you know, there is an ok to do so... ;)

    I stopped flirting one day.



    My husband checked me for a pulse. He was worried... thought I'd died.

    nsil on the head. NOTHING good can come from it. turn the tables and ask if you would want a significant other flirting...??

    I would not participate in online flirting... I am married, so its totally off limits for me, but even if I were not otherwise involved, I don't think the internet is an appropriate forum for meeting men... I would need face to face time to determine if flirting is appropriate.

    I see it as inappropriate and dangerous if you're in a relationship. If you're not, and interested in someone, not sure why you wouldn't :)

    Personally I see flirting, online and off, as a harmless form of fun. It makes everyone feel good, adds a little life to your day, but isn't anything more. Flirting doesn't necessarily imply that you're interested, or that if you are, you are going to take any action on it--its a pleasant social interaction. If the other person doesn't respond in kind, or if you have another indication that it makes them uncomfortable then you should stop, out of respect for the other person, but short of that, have fun.

    I'm married, and my husband doesn't care that I flirt with other people. My boundaries are clear and he trusts me.

    sure, if you aren't attached.
    Flirting online is dangerous if you are married, however. I know lots of peeps whose marriage ended over "harmless" flirtations online.

    Couldn't agree more.

    yeah, seriously, if you are married, you shouldn't be flirting online. Its no different than calling up one of your wifes hot friends and trying to rail her while your wife is at work. imo anyway.

    just sad, and wrong. being married, means you've made your choice! pull up your big boy pants and deal with it.

    totally ok if the person is receptive. it can get creepy if you're pursuing someone who does not want to be pursued.

    i really think married people should stay away from flirting. its not cheating necessarily, but it can lead to to it.

    It is absolutely ok. There's no harm in it whatsoever. Not a thing to worry about.


    Until your partner joins the site. Then delete, delete, delete!!

    :tongue: :laugh:

    :laugh:

    I would say it depends......I like a little flirting (as long as it isn't stalkerish), but I'm single....so I have no issues. Married people may feel differently.

    Thank goodness I never flirt. I can't understand people who flirt online. I mean, seriously? :huh:
