Is online flirting, when you know your S.O. disapproves, OK because you "are only flirting online and not in the real world"?
My opinion (surprise, surprise) is that it's not OK, period. It's said to be OK because it's not face-to-face, and online it's just fun and games.
I call bullsh!t. People meet online friends in person all the time. They even meet their future spouses online. The "it's only online" argument is bogus.
I would also imagine that many of those who feel it's OK would be less than eager to have their own S.O.s discover their activity.

What makes flirting fun, at least to guys, is the fact that EVERY ONE OF THEM has a little part of their brain that's telling them "they just might get some someday".
Don't deny it; to say otherwise is pure BS. [Reply]
No seriously, if you're uncomfortable with it then it shouldn't be going on. That's marraige man.
She should respect your feelings enough not to do that type of shit. It goes both ways as well. [Reply]

We don't need flirting on the internet for the dream of getting laid. Every guy on the street is a potential dream.
I do need Iowanni to blow me tho.
Whatever works for you.
My earlier reply was referring to men in particular.
Every man who's ever flirted with you, whether it was the mailman or a creepy first cousin, has wanted to have sex with you. I don't care what they say, it doesn't matter.
Where men are concerned: Flirting = desire for sex.

But, yeah... I don't so much flirt with ugly girls.
You can't bullsh!t me.
The fact that you found a cute little angle doesn't change what's going on between your ears. [Reply]

No exceptions.
Any time a guy talks to me at all that's what he's thinking. [Reply]

Thoughts?
I'm new but this intrigued me.
I think flirting on a bulletin board is just words unless pictures, emails and phone calls are involved.
I haven't seen any pictures so I'd guess it's just words being exchanged.
I do know, from experience, that trust is like a soap bubble, once broken it cannot be replaced. [Reply]

I would take exception to this, once a guy gets past say 50, he could be trying to row his boat with a piece of rope. If you have a desire for sex but cannot do the deed, is it still cheating? [Reply]
Some people perceive things wrong. Someone can be nice to someone, and that person will think they are being flirted with. Some people, it's just their personalities, and they don't even realize they're doing it. Some people are completely different people when they are online. You can say things that you normally wouldn't say because you're not face to face. I would say that it also depends on the intent. You can flirt with someone knowing fully well that you have no plans of meeting them in person. [Reply]
