Touch some grass dude, humans flirting with each other in public has been happening literally forever. “Oh let’s give control one of the most basic core human activities over entirely to a handful of dating app corporations” my man, go outside

      I think there's definitely a difference between mutual flirting and being a creep.

        At what point is flirting mutual? In straight situations, I say its when the woman starts flirting at you first. Guys 'flirt' at me all the time, and every single time it is unwanted and feels like a torrent of horndogs is trying to jump down my throat. Its even worse when the 'flirting' gets physical like some guy tries to rub my shoulders

        I need to start wearing a wedding ring or some shit, though I doubt thatd stop it

          That's totally valid but I think other comments in this thread already address this, I for one don't feel comfortable with dating apps so social settings are the only time I could even begin to attempt that sort of social interaction largely for the reason you stated, I can at least get a feel for whether someone is actually interested in me.

          I think the thing I have issue with is this person implying that in person social interaction of any kind is not the right time/way to meet a potential partner which is just incomprehensible to me.

          Hell the last few dates I went on were after a girl hit on me in the grocery store I worked at.

          It cuts back the amount about 40% imo and everyone after that point can ethically have their throat slit like the feral hog they are

            why slit throats with knives when you have big ole munchers and an empty belly :british-maw:

            im considering maybe a necklace for the ring so that when nasty guys look at my tits theyll get the memo... maybe

              Those iron knuckles / punch knives that look like a kitty are fun. I got to watch a riot grrl use one on a sex pest once at a house show and I was like
