Do you think that at one point or another a woman must be flirty or promiscuous?

I'm not saying that we should be sl*ts or anything like that, but do you think at one point or another a woman must learn how to be flirty and promiscuous in order to be noticed? I'm saying that because I heard of a friend one time that her friends advised her not to be too conservative so that she'd find a man for her soon. They said she needed to be flirty and promiscuous in order to do so. Do you agree?

Noooo...I think that she'll eventually find a man who finds her conservative self "hot" or a turn on at least (even though that sounds wrong but you ge what i mean) and just cz she wants to find a man soon doesn't mena she has to act this way or that and be somebody completely unlinke her true self just so she could land herself a husband? What happens if she has to be that way for the rest of her life? Must she live in denial form then on? So i guess no..Just be yourself and i truly believe than a man will come your way this way... ^_^ just an opinion though...

I like the way you think. It's true that if she starts acting how people think she should, she'd be lying to herself more than she's lying to the man who will find her attractive because of these flirty lies. So true.

Yes, definitely so. Fairy tale romances influence our minds to think that promiscuous girls are not ‘good’…its always the silent docile type who gets the best guy around. I was brought up with this notion and in hindsight I believe it did me more bad than good. This is not to say that my husband is bad (maybe matches are made in heaven) but what I want to say is that I missed a lot of frivolous fun by thinking of myself as the epitome of feminine grace and modesty and expected guys to see me as different and fall for that…only it was all so very wrong. I was the quintessential friend but not the Girl Friend (if you know what I mean)…so yes, girls (and I mean girls, and not women) should be flirts at some point in their lives and enjoy making the boys run around their little fingers.

Hmm.. I guess it's good for someone who just wants the experience of fun (as you are saying that this should be experienced by girls). But for a woman, I think it's best that she stay who she is.

Not all ladies. I never really asked for attention, but I get it anyway. I can't STOP people from noticing me, unfortunately. But I think it depends where you are, the people around you, etc, etc. The variables. Besides, a good man won't care what you wear or that you're very reserved in your actions...so long as she's what he's been looking for, or that he likes her.

All woman should have the ability to flirt. It doesnt have to get to a point where it becomes promiscuous. Promiscuity isnt something you can take back. It will create alot of changes in your life. For example, your reputation. If your friend isnt careful she can make a mess out of this whole situation. Your friend has her own personality and way of approaching situations. Help her to open up a bit. Dont ever encourage her to be intimate too quickly or do things that may please someone sexually but hurt her mentally. Promiscuity is never a good thing. If you're in a relation ship and want to get freaky,you have every right to. Please make sure he is the right type of person to handle this in a mature fashion. What two people do in a relationship should be private! dl

It's true that she should open up more, but my biggest question is 'do we need to do so in order to satisfy what the society dictates?' I don't see her as someone who could flirt. But anyhow, you're right. What happens is couple's or two people's business, it should be kept in private.

In my opinion, a woman that is destined to be married will eventually meet up with her future husband one day. And she just needs to be who she is. There is not a need to put up an act or be flirtatious or even promiscuous as the futures husband should accept her and love her for who she is right from the very first day they meet. If a man is attracted to a flirtatious or promiscuous woman then he is not worth to even think of starting a relationship with. Because if he can get turn on by a woman who is flirtatious before he gets married, then after he gets married he will also still be turned on by other women. So to conclude, a woman need not learn to be flirty and promiscuous in order to be noticed. In fact these attributes might just turn a man off. I would say just dress trendy & smart, be one's self being honest is enough to attract the correct man into one's life.

Um okay, if that is your attention to find a man, sure. But if its just to walk around tease men all day about what they can't have and act all surprised to find one staring at your chest or rear-end, then no, that's a dumb idea which unfortunately many women do nowadays.

Every women should be herself. Learning to flirt is rather obscene, to me. If she's naturally flirtatious, fine, but to put on an act is absurd. If the woman she is can't find the right man, she's just not looking in the right places. All of us can be appreciated for our natural selves!

To make changes in yourself for the sake of others, I would not like the idea. Although people would like flirty women but at the same time, a guy most of the time, won't like his woman flirting with other guys. If that flirting is only for her guy, then it is okay. I won't say that every woman who flirt many guys are sl*ts but I don't think a guy would like it, mostly. Just like a lady don't like her spouse flirting other girls.

Pardon my amusement. I never use the term sl*t, at least not in the normal usage of it, but from society's viewpoint being promiscuous is by definition being a sl*t, so you can't in fact claim "I'm not saying that we should be sl*ts or anything like that, but ...." That is exactly what you're saying. Lash

the way to attention is common interest, flirting is not needed, if one wants attention find common interest of the person who you want attention of & do that activity & they proably will notice you. Unluckly the road to good relationships requires working at them, & as I belive the saying is love is kind, love is pain, love is forgiving, but most of all it's getting along - c.s. lewis
