Is healthy man to woman basic flirting impossible now?

6 Comments

I am a professional single male and I have had some sexual encounters with single women that I initially flirted with, and they reciprocated.

Should I stop? I am forever in feer of any future flirting in that it could be misconstrued, or simply turned against me as a man because a woman isn't happy at the moment.

I'm an early thirties, good looking doctor with a great career ahead of me. All it could take is a woman I am not into simply posting lies about me on Twitter or facebook and my career would be ruined.

I think humanity should give doubt the benefit. We sort of became humsnity through this. Before we wantonly destroy people, let us,maybe look, find facts, or we can just blindly condemn like an ignorant lynch mob.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Your vallues differ from everyone else. And while we both may agree, saying, "You look really nice" is acceptable. Or, "You look really pretty is acceptable." The fact is it doesn't matter, my point stands. For better or for worse.

    Again, like you continue to say, you can not define the intent until you receive the response. Pure reception determines what constitutes flirting versus harassment. "You look nice" , "You look cute" , "You look hot" , "You look so sexy I want to do things to you!"

    You're a qualified doctor and you don't know the difference between flirting and sexual harassment? The difference is very clear if you turn your brain on: one is mutual and consensual and the other is not.

    And I think you mean "benefit of the doubt", which you're obviously not giving to women speaking up about sexual harassment.

      There in lies my point Ellenna. If I were to say, "You look really nice today.", To a coworker, or if I were to say, "I like your skirt." Or if I were to say, "I like your earings." It would be entirely up to the recipient's determination of whether my compliments were flirtatious, sexual harassment, or neither.

      By one's arbitrary determination of whether the statements are, 'mutually consensual' or not, you have thus proven that it is impossible to 'flirt' or give any compliments without risk of being misinterpreted.

        Do you really think those types of remarks would be regarded by anyone as sexual harassment? Any reasonable adult would be able to tell from the response whether or not to take it further into flirtation. If you don't think you can do that, keep your compliments to yourself.
