Why We Flirt

time.com — And before you claim, whether single or married, that you never flirt, bear in mind that it's not just talk we're dealing with here. It's gestures, stance, eye movement. We're biologically and culturally programmed to flirt.

  • toppgun, on 01/19/2008, -0/+279its not a basement, its a command center
  • ZephyrNinety, on 01/19/2008, -2/+208Because we think it will increase our chances of getting ass.
  • Pilot85, on 01/19/2008, -0/+205Because walking right up and saying "I would like to have some sex with you" generally doesn't work out that well.
  • CoronaVegas, on 01/19/2008, -4/+197If by "flirting" you mean staring at a women's chest and getting caught in the act?

    -Guilty.
  • datagod, on 01/19/2008, -8/+152I thought most diggers still lived at home in their parents basement. I hope you aren't flirting with mom to get supper delivered early.
  • K0NY, on 01/19/2008, -9/+148I flirt to get free drinks at the bar...oh wait, that's not me. It's the girls I meet.
  • masterm1nd, on 01/19/2008, -2/+125Warning: you can not unread staplez comment.
  • inactive, on 01/19/2008, -4/+116You're gay dude. Time to tell your parents.
  • FiP0, on 01/19/2008, -2/+81I don't flirt. I go on digg.
  • clark24, on 01/19/2008, -1/+68Having a few gay friends doesn't make you gay. Going to gay bars with your gay friends to get drunk and flirt with other gay guys ... that probably makes you gay. There's nothing wrong with that but let's be realistic.
  • drpcken, on 01/19/2008, -1/+67You obviously haven't been to San Diego.
  • quii, on 01/19/2008, -1/+60Perhaps there should be some kind of human race meeting, where we can agree to cut through the crap and just make it socially acceptable to do that
  • perogi21, on 01/19/2008, -1/+57Gotta love a pic of a guy with his hand on his hips wearing a scarf (indoors) in a wine bar.
    We are supposed to believe that he's sexually interested in the female that he's "flirting" with? Looks to me like he may be giving her pointers on how to wear eyeliner.
    Not that there's anything wrong with it...
  • Klowner, on 01/19/2008, -1/+54I have to go upstairs to get my own supper, THANK you..
    Only breakfast is delivered to my command center.
  • drpcken, on 01/19/2008, -0/+51by God I'm trying..
  • fxspec06, on 01/19/2008, -1/+49Sadly, the only "ass" I get is followed directly by "hole" ...
  • masterm1nd, on 01/19/2008, -1/+48I can think of at least 4 different ways that could be interpreted.
  • MateyO, on 01/19/2008, -0/+44"If you're a guy, are you keeping your body in an open, come-on-attack-me position, arms positioned to draw the eye to your impressive lower abdomen?"

    My abdomen isn't impressive in quite the way you'd expect.
  • masterm1nd, on 01/19/2008, -0/+43I will admit he's got a great point about assessing guilt and using it as character judgment. But...

    "The men told me it didn't matter and that hey if I got drunk enough... Anyway I said sure then, if what happens happens right?"
  • EdwinJ85, on 01/19/2008, -2/+45Agreed. Still I do not think I flirt - I get less ass than the elephant man did. And that poor ***** was disfigured.
  • MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -0/+42I had "nonverbal leakage" once. I was in the bathroom for hours; it was awful.
  • mcool119, on 01/19/2008, -1/+38As someone who just got dumped by a flirty, and furthermore cheating, ex, this article made me angry. Just saying.
  • endlessoul, on 01/19/2008, -0/+37If only it did.
  • inactive, on 01/19/2008, -3/+40with every sentence, the gayness doubled
  • spacecoyote1966, on 01/19/2008, -2/+38Yeah, but he was also hung like an elephant.
  • Static88, on 01/19/2008, -3/+39its not a command center, its a love nest
  • jordn, on 01/19/2008, -0/+36lol staplez came out on digg
  • inactive, on 01/19/2008, -1/+34I don't flirt. I'm shy.
  • justice7, on 01/19/2008, -0/+32Is that a flash drive in your pocket...
  • diggapleeeze, on 01/19/2008, -4/+36Sorry, it's okay to have gay friends. But straight men do not go to gay bars, and on top of that, flirt with gay men and allow them to buy you drinks.

    That's called, "being in the closet". Nothing wrong with it, just don't play the, "I'm a straight guy, really"
  • jonahatan, on 01/19/2008, -0/+31generally it would work out perfectly if a girl said that to me ...
  • portis, on 01/19/2008, -1/+31Of course it didn't work. It isn't "your hot", it should be "you're hot". You fail.
  • saintdesy, on 01/19/2008, -0/+28I was just about to go try it, but then I realized your first comma is a decimal point, and one dollar would hardly cover the inevitable hospital bills I will face after getting kicked in the balls repeatedly.
  • linksus, on 01/19/2008, -1/+28To get laid!
  • Toshibi, on 01/19/2008, -0/+26Less 6 Pack, more keg? Hey man, me too.
  • zengonzo, on 01/19/2008, -0/+25Now why couldn't you have posted that beforehand?
  • portis, on 01/19/2008, -0/+25Your place or mine?
  • cowsgonemadd3, on 01/19/2008, -5/+29You think by flirting you will get a donkey?
  • unfinity, on 01/19/2008, -0/+24Thanks - I wasn't sure what the next part was.
  • ToxicGas, on 08/11/2008, -2/+24As a former shy guy (and i still occasionally get accused of it) I'll give you some advice. Get over it ... the quicker the better. Its better to "fall on your face" once in a while, than to get old and wish you would have tried harder.
  • inactive, on 01/19/2008, -18/+40i knew it, a female wrote the article. 99.9999% of females flirt because they're sluts like to whore out
  • bowe, on 01/19/2008, -0/+21I *would* LIKE >to> ^have^ S-E-X [drops $100 bill]-oops-With you?
  • Neoanarchist, on 01/19/2008, -8/+28You weren't very clear in your delivery of your message so all the adolescent Diggers of course think you're gay. However, I'm pretty sure I understand where you're coming from and, while not the way you did it, I also test people and play psychological games to see how they'll react. It is very valuable information and I'm glad you posted your comment, however, I'm sorry that the Diggers aren't mature enough to handle a comment with "gay bar" in it. Then again, I never would have expected them to so it's not really surprising lol.
  • TxAggie08, on 01/19/2008, -0/+20Don't forget the classic, "How you doin'?"
  • AvidPreatorian, on 01/19/2008, -0/+20and your wife
  • UNL1M1T3D, on 01/19/2008, -5/+24It's evolution.
  • Neoanarchist, on 01/19/2008, -1/+19And you didn't make a joke at all. You posted a pointless comment that wasted .5 seconds of my time.
  • xptoast, on 01/19/2008, -2/+19Man: Why yes it is. It is a 4 GB, waterproof flash drive. Why do you ask?... Oh you thought that was my penis... Nice. Wanna hold it?

    Woman: Hold what your penis or the flash drive.

    Man: You choose, but don't break either one of them.
  • terminal157, on 01/19/2008, -6/+23Wow, "get over it", that's some stellar advice there Dr. Phil. How do you eat when every time you open your mouth honey-like wisdom pours forth unto the world?
