The Bigger Flirts: Men

There is this show in AXN entitled "Duke" which talks anything and everything related to men. It shows their vanities, their quirks, their hobbies, their motivations, and anything under the sun that involves their interest and what not.

I have watched an episode way back about flirting. They asked in random the public whose the bigger flirt, men or women and guess what - men appears to be the bigger flirt. Of course they did it for fun, they pick the respondents randomly hence we cannot say it's a good sample of what the public view really is nor is it accurate (I could have easily convinced the girls back in college to do a study on this for our experimental psychology thesis, bummer, it's too late now - that way there is at least some data I can use to prove or disprove such claim).

Back to the topic at hand, I can't help but agree on the premise that men are bigger flirts than women. When women flirts they tend to be showy and upfront (but there are those that have mastered the game and you can hardly tell if they are flirting or not). But when men flirt, it's hard to tell because it comes naturally with them.

The simple tossing of hair, the laughing out loud just to get a guys attention, the eye contact... it's easy to tell even from a distance if a lady is flirting or not. Guys on the other hand are very discreet. The cheesy pick up line (that girls go gaga at times), even the not so cheesy ones, its flirting 101 ladies. We associate them as a "normal" thing a guy does when in fact they are already flirting right there and then, in short flirting is more often than not, innate with them.

Women get to be labelled as 'flirt' or 'tease' with the mere act of tossing the hair but men can get away with it just by simply saying "it's normal" for them to used such cheesy (eww) pick up lines. Unfair! But then again, life will never be fair.

Flirting is one of those inane things that spice up our life...so girls let's flirt some more , wink =)
