I wouldn't want a man that didn't know how to "flirt". Some men know how and some don't. I do not mean excessive flirting just know how too.

I tend to be suspicious of men or women who "lay it on thick" and shower me with compliments right off the bat..Or people who express a great deal of interest in me (and what I say) when it just doesn't seem totally "real" or sincere...I don't want to be an "easy mark!".. Some people are "brown-nosers" and they rely on manipulation tactics to "get ahead" or "gain favors." (Or get attention etc.)...Have you noticed this?...They are "salespeople" in disguise! But what happens after they get their "sale?" Will they still act the same way? Or will they grow bored and look for someone new to "butter-up" and impress?

Maybe it's good to ask the women how they feel about your compliments. I'm sure a lot of women really enjoy them...I get a little uncomfortable if a lot of compliments are focused on my "looks" because I don't wrap my identity around my "looks" like some women may do...I'm used to compliments like: "You definitely know all the short-cuts around here. Good for you."...Or: "That was a great idea!" Or: "I admire your strength and stamina. You lost your husband and both your sons and you still manage to get up every morning and do what you need to do each day."...When I compliment people I tend to focus on their "strengths" and ideas and insights and their accomplishments. (Big and small.)...But this is just me! I know we're all different.

Ah, there's the problem...You are assuming the compliments are mostly physical compliments. I usually compliment women on their intelligence unless their looks comes into play into a conversation, then I might make mention of how stunning they are.

And if I compliment someone on their intelligence, they always look stunning to me.

Again, your way of thinking is narrow...Not wrong, but could maybe use some modifications to it.

I'm starting to wonder where I fit in... or better yet if I fit in... or even better why I would want to fit in

I wonder because........................................I love to flirt, I love to be flirted with , I adore sincere compliments on anything from my cooking to my figure , I adore giving compliments to people I love or like or admire for whatever reason ...... but I can honestly say I despise excessive flattery ...It always makes me uncomfortable , sometimes it pizzes me off , and sometimes, when I see others doing it for obvious ulterior motives, it makes me want to puke ...So where the hell do I fit in?

Damn your azz would sure look good in the kitchen making me a sandwich. I have this flirting thing down pat.....

What? You don't like sandwiches?.....

sO....I guess I better quit flatterying you so much

Now that is funny ManO...

What? You don't like sandwiches?.....

I'm friendly and can even be playful but I'm not into flirting. I enjoy friendly and witty men with a sense of humor but I don't do well with obvious flirts...Guess I tend to be more androgynous so the heavy male/female "stuff" doesn't work too well with me...And I wouldn't want to give a man the wrong impression about my intentions by flirting...But a little joking and "play" is fun.

You have to trim the crust off first Nerk

pffftttt

I wasn't supposed to tell anyone, was I
