Flirting

I don’t give a rats ass about flirting and don’t have any desire to consciously or intentionally do it. Though, when it happens TO me, I’m not going to be an uptight prick. Of course I’ll be friendly; I'm not going to put up a shield and reject her. There’s nothing WRONG with flirting. It’s not bad at all. It’s just, to me, essentially…POINTLESS. Empty. Because…..We live in a society which is currently, and has been and will be for a long time, re-balancing itself sexually in this condition of Post-Feminism from the Post-Feminist Movement which occurred through the 70s. The PUBLICLY RECOGNIZED expression of women’s sexuality has been so casually accepted nowadays, that flirting is for many women(and men too obviously), the default mode(therefore meaningless). Sex to many people is equivalent to SHAKING HANDS. Yeah, and if that’s the MOST “INTIMATE” expression of sexual energy and sexual connection, then just look how much LESS “weight” there is now to be noted with FLIRTATION which LONG PRECEDES sex. So, while YES indeed it is possible that people will flirt WITH MEANING-i.e., a woman is flirting with a guy or vice versa not just for the uplifting feeling- the release of oxytocin and dopamine in the brain. Sexual expression of any degree is so goddamn casual, that if a woman is talking to me, smiling, laughing, doing flirtatious “moves” and making affectionate/flirtatious physical gestures to me, talking about sexual things or making sexual jokes, or for all I care starts masterbating in front of me…why would I care to make any consensus of the previous when we live in a society where sex is as casual and simple (though not to ME personally) as SHAKING HANDS? I STILL won’t make much of it. I’ll change my consensus and take her genuinely and seriously if she has the emotional maturity to look at me and ask me if I’m in a relationship, what my “type” is, if she’s my “type”, and what my relationship preferences are. As for the rest of you, outside my personal previously listed insights. Next, there’s RELATIVITY: is a person flirting with someone who is 700 lbs. overweight with three teeth and cross-eyed because the OTHER option is a person who’s 5 additional lbs. overweight with three teeth and cross-eyed? UNLESS…the “flirt-er” doesn’t settle for RELATIVITY and only partakes in flirting when it’s a completely, whole-hearted desire for someone. And lastly, in accord with that Relativity, is the “flirt-er” simply trying to VALIDATE themselves to fill in a void hidden under the Ego- the False Self, the domain of insecurities- thereby trying to get a reciprocated flirtatious reaction to appease to their strictly momentary, psychological “safety-blanket” covering the voids.
