Do women flirt with men they have no interest in?

I do. Any female working in a male dominated industry will find it a handy tool.

There's a fairly pretty and young girl that works at my place which is pretty much all older men.
She flirts with all the blokes to ingratiate herself with them.
She can get away with doing no work at all and still get paid each week. Some of the guys probably think they have a chance with her. (They don't) and wouldn't dream of upsetting her in case they destroy their non-existent chance of bedding her.

Anyway, from my point of view:

1. Do women flirt with men they have no interest in?

yes

2. If so, would a woman flirt meaninglessly with a man they think unattractive?

Yes. Sometimes this is even more probable. They run the risk of emotional damage if they flirt with a guy who they actually like, or who is a very attractive guy who may reject her.

3. How can you tell the difference between flirting for fun and actual attraction?

If she's out of your league, she's flirting for fun.

1. It depends on the woman. I have banter with some of the rugby lads but only have 'conversations' with a certain one or two of them. However some women just see a man and think 'woooh - man - must flirt'

2. Not personally i wouldnt.

3. Hmmm... I cant

lol :rotfl:
This is the whole truth of the matter look no further!!!!
Not true of all women blah blah... and most won't admit to it blah and give half truth answers but basically yeah. It is not anything new.
But truly it is not the women who are at fault, if men allow themselves to be beguiled by these types of people, they're all adults after-all.

Women have many reasons for flirting or otherwise interacting with a man..

It might be that they are generally interested
It might be that they have seen his car/watch/bling/wallet and want a slice of it
They might pretend to flirt out of some cruel sense of mockery or as a joke with her mates

Usually if a woman flirts with you,it isnt in your interests to respond unless you know how to make best advantage of it.

It's nice to see how respectful you are of us evil golddiggers. I'm intrigued to know what you mean by "make best advantage of it"... I could hazard a guess but I wouldn't want to be narrow minded.

I don't flirt unless I find the person attractive/interesting. I fail miserably at working out the difference as to whether someone is flirting with me for fun or out of genuine attraction.

Actually I fail miserably at flirting full stop.

Glad I am not the only one like this!

Gosh, you have some miserable relationships with women. I go to a sports club where there are loads of men who flirt with all the women (some of whom are in their 90s). I suppose that means they are just out to defraud the old dears of their pensions. I flirt with some of the blokes and they respond in kind though I'd be mightily surprised if they found me attractive :rotfl: It's just the way some people engage with each other - just as some people greet each other with a hug and a kiss. It's not *all* about wanting to jump into bed with people

Actually, I do remember meeting a male friend of a friend who I knew liked the same obscure films as me. So, I told him I was also a fan and asked him what his favourite film/director/whatever was. After I'd asked him three questions he suddenly snapped, "look, I'm not interested in you, OKAY!". He must have thought every woman who spoke to him wanted his body! :rotfl:

This has happened to me so very many times that if I was more sensitive I'd have a good cry about it!

I know that I'm not the most attractive or interesting woman on the planet but when I'm chatting to men I've just met and find areas of common interest it does not mean that I fancy my chances with them.

To some men, just innocent chatting means you must fancy the pants off them. How arrogant they are! But it does illustrate how some men wouldn't even waste the time of day on women they have no physical interest in, and that's why just common-or-garden politeness or friendliness on the part of some females can be misconstrued as overt attraction.


With absolutely no evidence to support it I suspect that is what may be going in the OP's mind.

Coinxoperated, why would you do that? To mislead? Personal gain? Or for fun until it gets serious?

Personal gain
Boredom
For a laugh
... I could go on...

Example: when I was single and living on my own I was poor. Not just 'should turn the heating off' poor, I mean, one pack of super noodles to last a couple of days.

Went for a drink with some guy. Not the best looking. Asked me if I was hungry. Said yes. Brought me a 3 course meal. Yum! Never spoke to him again.

Did I feel good about it? No.
Would I do it again? Yep. If in a similar situation.

Another example: guy in local garage fancies the pants off me. Unfortunately he looks like that guy from the goonies.

When I take the car to have something done, if I spend 30 minutes flirting with him, he'll do things for free such as a oil change, new brake pads etc. also knocked me £30 off the MOT cost!

Men are easily led by women they find attractive. A friend of mine works on babestation and earns £800 per week for jumping up and down in a bra talking to some guy who's enjoying himself.

When was the last time you heard about a woman paying £2 a minute to talk to someone because their hot?

I'm not into using men, BUT if they don't have the common sense to see something for what it is, I certainly don't mind teaching them

The best one so far has been standing in waterstones, flirting with the assistant and him actually getting his bank card out and paying for the book for me.

Maybe men are just more generous :rotfl:

Oh and to also add!

I have two extremely attractive male models as friends. They tried to do escorting / stripping work and really the business just want there. They could maybe earn around £100 for a strip, but once a week doesn't pay the bills. Women didn't 'tip' them as female stripper would be and it was always generally hen parties or 50th birthdays. It was just 'a laugh' for most involved, rather than female strippers being ogled and being asked for a night of passion.

Men still see women as the weaker sex, however many 'rights' we have.
We have just learnt to use that to our advantage.
