That was pretty cute.
That was pretty cute.
This is probably a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway.
What constitutes flirting? And how is that different from simply being friendly or joking around?
When I voted, I voted on the basis of whom is more likely going to charm their interest.
That was one of the questions I wanted to discuss. What IS flirting? Obviously it's a way to court someone and induce them to form certain impressions of you in their mind. But there's a common element to all flirting. Some ideas:
Flirting creates value for the flirtor through words or actions
The words or actions signal status or available resources
The resources can be material or psychological (happiness, calmness) through humor
I'm kind of a flirt so I voted for my own type. How insightful.![]()
They cannot beat the ENFx for their ability to extrovert, mimic and understand the human element in other people to manipulate their responses. Sorry. INTP very good at being sophisticated and witty but that's not all there is to flirting.
NTs the best at flirting? Hahahaha. Good one. Maybe flirting with each other, but with other temperaments? Hell no.
I think us NT's are pretty good at it.
No.One of the keys to flirting is humor, and I think NT's are the best humorists.
ENFJ best overall flirt. Must give credit where it is due.
On the other hand, ESTJ men I'm friends with DO NOT FLIRT. They are always uber professional and slightly intimidating until you "unravel their interests."
