    Does anybody find it harder to flirt when under a lot of other negative stressors of real life?


    Or is that skew for you, and flirting becomes a creative escape from stresses like work?

    For me, flirting is usually accompanied, by ors a result of feeling content.

    No, I doubt I would flirt when stressed, PMT'ish or plain grumpy.

    i'm pretty sure I could flirt under almost any circumstances......

    people get laid in war zones all the time.....

    that would normally happen after flirting.

    One drink, a couple of good songs, and the serious part of my day is forgotten. Time for fun. :cheers2:

    I like the way you think. Music is so relaxing, plus a cool drink. More people should try it.

    most of my negative stressors in life come from my inability to successfully flirt.

    that said, if i feel that natural flirty connection with someone, i can do it anytime. but lacking that connection, it is easier if there's not other shit on my mind.

    If I am overly stressed my flirting desires are seriously diminished. I need to be happy and carefree to flirt.

    I have flirted while severely stressed out before. But then for me, I think it all depends on my mood. Sometimes I seek solace in that sort of thing, but other times, I seek solace in solitude. Funny how emotions work......

    Huh so I guess what I experience is pretty universal then.

    Stress does impact the ability to flirt, and vice-versa as undie's put it.

    I know if I'm sleep deprived flirting and double-meaning comments, which people tend to do a lot in flirty-contexts, fly over my head.

    Ever tried flirting in a comedy club? I would think you might have better success with the girls who hang out in those places.

    I sometimes find the busier I am the easier I find it to flirt. You just don't have time to overthink it then I suppose :p

    unfortunately i've never been to one. not that i don't want to, i just have generally not lived where there are any within a reasonable distance.

    i always kind of assumed women only went to comedy clubs with their boyfriends.

    No, in a larger club, there are always a few tables that are two or more girls only. They usually get there early to socialize, and/or head to another nearby bar afterward. That's a good follow-up question at the end of the show.

    You need to find a job in the United States, if you know what I mean. Whatever place you're working now, you didn't sign a lifetime contract.

    which is why we go out with a ''wingman''....a good wingman can make all the difference

    yeah, i really do love my job though. just not where it is.

    the key word being "good." any potential wingmen i have at the moment would scare away the most desperate woman.

    I have never found a woman to be attracted to me when I have been stressed out; go figure. ;)
