fucking for the sake of fucking isn't so special as to be worth any extraneous risks

Well there's no good reason why it should be, either. That's not coming from a "people shouldn't have sex" mentality. Just that I don't think it's possible to ever account for all risks with it. Just to go into it risk aware. Much like say paragliding.
If you are engaging with it casually, you're also engaging with other people's strongest drive and it should be no surprise that people can go very far in trying to harm those who get in the way of their strongest drive.

It sounds like we're both old farts, relatively speaking, so you're preaching to the choir here. Young guys (18-25) on the other hand, don't think about these things all that hard. "Am grug, grug want fuck" is a recipe for disaster but is also a naturally-occurring part of being young and stupid.

It depends really. If you're antisocial enough (like me) you'd be just as happy being a completely insane feral cave beast in some mountain than having anything to do with civilization. Sex is sex, no one's completely immune to its appeal, but I've grown to instinctively hate most people regardless of gender, race, or socioeconomic status more and more on a primal animal level to the point where it's probably better for me not to go on the kinds of sexual escapades I've pursued in my youth and stupidity of years past.

Yeah you're probably doing people a favor to not cavort with them, unless you happen to change that particular instinct.

It's not likely (no pun intended) because my personality is fundamentally inhuman. That's not to say I have no empathy or common sense, only that my thoughts and emotions are completely alien to the average person in subtle and often difficult to describe ways. I can talk to almost anyone. We'll even have fun casually chatting about just about anything if the mood is right. The issue is that once you go past the surface I might as well have come from some other planet. I know this sounds completely retarded and weird, you'll just have to take my word for it.

Lol, I'm a soprano that takes Astrology and Kabalistic teaching seriously. Can't get any weirder unless you're from Zeta Reticuli.

What flirting is really does fall in those two categories. Either the sender knows what he/she is doing and the recipient is clueless or the sender is clueless or not intending to send signals the recipient reads anyway. It is very often a ships in the night scenario.

Occasionally, I wish for more directness. "Bitch, you pretty. I'd fuck you so hard we'd wake up in the asthenosphere." Back when I was younger, this was a classic favorite song of my friend group at the time:


It is hard to misread me though once I have decided on a man. I am fairly aggressive because I have a thing for autists that is about the only way they get it. Otherwise, they'd wake up three days later and be like 'oh wait was she hitting on me? Shit...'.

Women actually aren't that subtle about these things even when they think they are. It just takes being the type of guy who would say "no" 9 times out of 10 out of sheer misanthropy/paranoia to notice.

So my original question still stands. Do you guys(men) flirt with ugmos or women you find attractive?
Click to expand...

Why not both? Everyone needs a bit of lovin. Yeah, sometimes they know it's a lie, but most people do like being lied to if it's positive.

If you've never seen an old woman's face light up just because you took 5 seconds to say "Hey ms. Jackson, you're looking beautiful today, did you get a haircut?" you're missing out.

It's not good to lead on uglies. They think they have a chance in life. Let them know it's only TV dinners for them.

I think this is quite a heartless lookout. They already don't have a chance in life. No need to rub it in. Why not give them a fantasy to go with their TV dinner?

It's always a bit of a grey area, but I don't think I really lead anyone on. I know I like it when someone flirts a bit with me even though we both know I never stand a chance.
