OnlyJake Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Flirtatious behavior isn't flirting if such behavior occurs in the presence of one or both people's SOs. Agree or disagree?
Seamless74 Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 wholeheartedly disagree.. dont quite get the question though... plus if it happens in the presence of a SO then both sides would judge whether it was flirty or not could have two different opinions of the incident, basically meaning who gives a **** what you think about whether it was or not what does the person your with think.. Skip the foreplay bro.... what did you do?
hydorclops Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Flirting often has a "just kidding" quality to it.
alex1960 Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 I think flirting is a scale rather than a black or white thing. Some people flirt openly in front of their partners and in most cases the flirting is benign. Or if they're in an open relationship, maybe it's not benign...

Skip the foreplay bro.... what did you do? Didn't do anything. Just a question that still bugs me from a previous relationship, and a general principle regarding respect that bugs the crap out of me. For example, one time at a BBQ a married man was flirting with a girl (I think she was single at the time), and she was flirting back. The flirting was so obvious that a couple people commented on it. The girl's response was basically that there was nothing wrong with either of their behavior because the guy's wife was also at the BBQ. Another time I was at a party and one guy, who was there with his girlfriend, was flirting with an acquaintance of his, who is married. The husband was also at the party. The flirting included tickling the married woman so much that she slid off her chair onto the floor, where the tickling continued. It appears that I am the only person who thinks these kinds of behaviors are inappropriate and disrespectful. Maybe I'm just uptight, but I don't understand what the hell is wrong with people.

Keep in mind those individuals probably always act like that and so their partners are most likely comfortable with the level of "openness" that they display. It would inappropriate only if it makes either partner uncomfortable.
