Why do women default into thinking that flirting is unilateral?
You see comments all the time that say "this guy was flirting with me". Nevermind the fact that most women won't ever leave the house without smelling like a flower, being made up, having nice clothes on and always doing their best to smile and keep up the appearance as though they are happy and friendly. As if there's never anything but total innocence.
If they see men spending as much time working on themselves, there's no question in their mind that the guys are obviously looking to pick someone up or otherwise up to no good of some kind. But NEVER the other way around.
The whole idea of flirting seems to be yet another destructive double standard that women will never let go of.

not all women sir!! some of us do all the titivating for ourselves we don't need the attention of a man to make us feel good we just do it, its called confidence and independance. A man should enhance your life and be appreciated not be there for security and feeding your ego..

The only person I get dolled up for is my husband. I don't even bother glancing at other men. I'm married happily & if someone is looking at me while I'm with my husband or without they get a glare that scares even satan. Thank you very much!

I don't think we keep that up for flirting personally i I smell good .. look good to make me feel good most of the time .. If I do do it for a man I make sure he knows if I can :-) .. I'm straight forward most of the time and if a man flirts with me I'm shy .. Lol .. Haha ..men are the same too I think so I disagree with you .. To all of the above x

It's a requirement. "Good girls" don't flirt, regardless of actions taken to get attention.

No, you're just making excuses for them.

If they don't flirt back, that usually means they aren't interested in my experience. Dressing up and smelling nice is not asking to be groped and harassed. I think for the most part, people who dress nice, just assume the rest of the world is civilized.

We're talking about flirting not groping or harassing. If you don't know the difference, well maybe you should get some help.

Persistent unwanted attention is harassment. Now maybe you know the difference but a lot of people don't.

They pretend they don't know whats going on around them, when they clearly do. The question is why?
