Its okay for a guy to flirt around with everyone irrespective of age. He is considered to be macho, intelligent, born with a gift of gab etc etc. However when a gal flirts its considered intimidating, promiscuous, and synonymous to an eternal sin. 99% of the cases, when a gal replies to a cheeky comment with an equal and opposite reaction it backfires. You know the age old cliché ‘ladki hansi to fansi’. Why is it so hard for people to understand that u need some brains to reply to cheeky/nasty comment, and that wimmen are blessed with brains at times. And when a verbal tiff is on, not necessarily every word said by the people exchanging the conversation is serious. Infact if we look at the dictionary meaning of the word flirting it’s a playful behavior or a conversation for casual/verbal fun. You know like for some mental stimulation which may or may not be a need for some people. I really don’t understand how do people take it as equivalent to a gal meaning to go that extra mile. Let me say it guys, when I want it or if I want it. If atall I have the guts to walk and talk shoulder to shoulder with guys, be sure I do have the guts to come say it directly when I want it, rather than implying it through my actions and statements.
I know there is a thin line btw flirting and getting serious which most of the partners in crime tend to cross at times. But then, if something is intended out of it wouldn’t it be appropriate that’s its said explicitly, rather than being interpreted and read in between the lines. Most of the guys I know of, who engage in such kinda of behaviour are mostly not serious abt anything and they just do it or say things for mere fun, or may be for some ego boost at times. Then why in the case of a gal its interpreted as a serious offense of intending to eat the forbidden fruit indirectly. The other day I was watching a news channel on tv, and they had this whole story abt gals having no qualms in being and accepting the fact that they are flirtatious at times. Why on earth should we feel guilty abt it, when men are given a hearty laugh for such behaviour, oh he is so funny, his sense of humor is terrific and all that.
