I think we flirt on the IRC becuase we are bored......and desperate....so anything female is like a bone thrown to a starving dog

 

[ElephantGuts]

Are you sure your desperate mind hasn't just made you think everyone is flirting with you even if they aren't?

I think this thread caused about 20 or so twitter accounts to be created.

Hold on, we're allowed to flirt on the Internet now? I have to try this. Someone fetch me a woman so I can bounce my eyebrows suggestively at her! If no ladies can be found, Scamola is an acceptable substitute.

Badah! One female. Try your best. I bet you fail.

*Bounces eyebrows suggestively at Geek@Heart* How you doin'?

Well hello there. I'm feeling good now.....

Unfortunately on Friends we never saw Joey get any further than "How you doin'?", so I guess I'll have to fall back on a chat-up line of my own invention: "If I said you had a beautiful body would you let me have sex with it?" Smooth, no?

Oooh, very smooth. Hmn, maybe we should chat about this some more in private....

Yeah, that tends to happen. It's all because of my irresistible sexual magnetism. Because of the sex magnet I bought. See? *waves sex magnet*

*laughs loudly*..........*laughs some more*

That is so ridiculous, I can no longer consider you sexy. You're now just the cute little geek, who can never be any more than a friend.

Chest hair is not sexy. In fact I find it a real turn off.

Not even on Sean Connery? If it helps, I don't have a hairy chest but I do have very hairy stomach *bounces eyebrows suggestively again*

Sean Connery is old enough to be my dad, and less attractive too. So no, not even on him.

As for having a hairy stomach..... sorry, that's put me right off. It may be the media's fault, for portraying men unrealistically, but I find hairy guys a turn off generally. Luckily most women shave/wax, so it's less of a problem with them...

But . . . but . . . Sean Connery! If I knew how to splutter incoherently in text I would. I was fooled by the cute little turtle, I thought I could trust you . . .

You can trust me. I'm just one of those women that doesn't find him attractive. Sure there's only a few of us, but we do exist. I dunno, maybe being bi I have weird tastes, but Sean? *shudders*

I'm sad our blossoming relationship had to be cut short, but I'm sure I'll get over it. I'll just listen to "Everybody Hurts" a couple of times and I'll be fine. Don't tell anyone, but I'm actually a cute little geek in real life. At least I've still got my sex magnet and my copy of "From Russia With Love".

On a side note, d'you think we should stop derailing this poor guy's thread so horribly? Although in a thread about flirting derailing is sort of inevitable.

Firstly if you are a cute little geek, maybe we should really get chatting..... My MSN address is on my profile, and I'm also on Skype

Secondly, Evil Jak will raise no objection to his thread being derailed. All I have to do is smile sweetly and he won't notice at all...

Hey, everyone knows I am a MASSIVE fan of derailing... its okay to take it off-topic, we are in the off-topic forums after all.
Erm, Jenny... Why are you smiling at me? Is there something in my teeth? XD

 

[Kinguendo]

I recently created an account and at least once a day there is someone flirting on there, usually the suspects are memebrs of this community(from what I see anyway)... My question is why does it happen? Does talking about computer games really build up that much sexual tension? Or is it the fact that you dont have a clue what they look like(not entirely sure why that would be a reason)?

Hmm, that last one is a bit shallow on my part but I consider myself a "Book by cover and contents" kinda guy... reasonable, right?

Okay, the main thing you have to realise is that Twitter is not take seriously, or at least it isn't by most Escapists. Some of the stuff that gets said on there would never be said in any other format - either online or real life. And those who are actually flirting (rather than just joking around, like I usually do) will be chatting with that person in another way, like MSN or something, so they'll know that it's serious.

Also, it's not shallow. Whatever anyone says, very few people would flirt with and/or date someone that they found completely unattractive. So yeah, that could be a part of it.

Point being, it will probably lead to some friction (not in that way, mind out of the gutter) as I have noticed some repeat "offenders" on there and if the people who they are flirting with take it too seriously there might end up being violence... Most likely verbal, but when these Escapist meetings happen maybe the s**t could hit the fan.

We can broaden this a little by including internet dating as a whole... I personally dont see the appeal, after all its a lot easier to lie over the internet.

EDIT: Not my intention to get people to go there, I wanted answer to why people engage in the rather futile act of internet flirting... For some reason that alone is almost irresistable? XD

I think that you're missing something here. Whilst people do flirt/date online, a large majority of them realise that the person you chat to online may be different in real life, and just because things have been going well online it doesn't mean that it will work out as a real relationship. Therefore when it comes to the point of meeting someone, they are usually prepared for the fact that it will suddenly change things, and that may mean it does work, or it doesn't.

Personally, I'm happy to casually flirt online, mainly because I assume people won't take me seriously, and if I do then I explain that I'm not looking for anything serious, and I'd rather get to know someone in real life.

(Small side note - you changed your avatar! Personally I preferred the old one. But meh, your choice.)

Yeah, the old one showed off my cheeky bones... but I hated the colour of the walls.

And congrats on the script up there^. XD

*Bounces eyebrows suggestively at Geek@Heart* How you doin'?

Well hello there. I'm feeling good now.....

Oh my God, it's contagious, I'm feeling good too. And I don't like feeling good unless I feel really good. I feel like rainbows and puppy dogs are clouding my vision, I suddenly feel like a happy little Labradoodle. Someone shoot me now...

Nooo, we won't shoot you. We'll encourage these good feelings, we'll make you think warm happy thoughts until eventually you go completely crazy. Then we'll point and laugh...

Hmmm, you dare do that and I'll show you my chest hair. Yeah. I went there.

Here's a gun, make it quick .

I will cope with the sight of your chest hair in order to torture you and watch you go crazy. Oh yeah, you don't break me that easily.

Hmmm. I can break you physically though. That shouldn't be too hard...

Flirting can be fun, though my torture devices generally put paid to any. Unless you're into that sort of thing...

Well, that takes the fun out of it. I'll go sit in the corner with the kittens now...
