Do you think the people you flirt with online are similar to the people you flirt with in real life?

Most likely not, since I can’t see them and I’m not expecting to possibly have sex with them.

On- and offline the same; women.

I like to flirt with flirts, so I assume the on-line people have characteristics similar to people I meet in person. I’m more comfortable with the anonymity factor being in play, I hope for no backlash or misunderstanding; no follow-through required. Sadly, in real life I no longer flirt with men younger than my dad, as most men my age don’t seem to understand to just flirt and let it go.

I tend to be attracted to people similar to those I meet in real life but it’s more playful than flirting, I know it’s a hard line to distinguish but I can tell when I’m just being playful and when I’m being genuinely flirtatious.

I flirt nonseriously all the time in both. If I can get a smile it’s all I ask. I got five today. I’m the same person online as in real life.

I don’t flirt in real life.

I flirt with pretty much everyone, and none of it really means anything. I guess I don’t really have a “type” that I flirt with.

@chyna There’s guys that don’t take it seriously. It’s ok to flirt a little.

I do not flirt with people in real life. I don’t think I flirt with anyone online.
I do make (what I think are) humorous comments, but I don’t think anyone actually thinks that is flirting.

@filmfann…be careful…even joking around can be taken the wrong way, I made that mistake sometime back.

I secretly suspect that you’re all forty year old men, sitting naked in a beanbag chair eating popcorn…

I have publicly stated I am 38. And stop thinking about me naked jail bait.

You’re not even my type.

I am a 41 year old woman, sitting naked in a futon eating Wheat Thins. You are so wrong @AshLeigh. :P

Close enough.

There isn’t anyone in my life to flirt with at this time. 90% of the males around me are high school students and the other 10% are married coworkers. Ick, ick, ick. No flirting at all in real life even though I used to be a big flirt in college.

I flirt/tease a little online but am extremely careful because I am not interested in anything with anyone and am concerned that my intentions for flirting can be taken the wrong way. I’m also very careful because I did fall head over heels over an online character and that wasn’t fun at all—pttth. Not interested in a repeat.

I frequently flirt in real life especially with friends, harmless banter that’s good for a laugh.
Never felt the need to do so online, certainly not here on these pages.
I mean, who knows what venimous harridans lie in wait? Overweight, repulsive creatures who smell constantly of onions?
I do admire their dexterity though, must be difficult to type flirtatious comments whilst holding a bag of doritos in one hand & feverishly fingering with the other…..just a thought.

It isn’t even 8:00 AM and I already got my first smile today. So there pfft.

@yankeetooter Perhaps you’re right.
I should let everyone here know I don’t actually want you to pull my finger.

I flirt with just about everyone (all in a playful manner, not earnestly), so I guess it’s the same here as in real life.

@AshLeigh Actually, I’m sitting naked in a bean bag chair, eating cheetos.

@WillWorkForChocolate I hate when I get that orange stuff all over my skin.

Yep, me too. You know what it’s actually called? “Cheedle”, lol.
