In my Hubpages,this has another title for the purpose of the not affronting women. The pages was purely to serve as a guide actually.
I have below some reasons why women flirt:
*[i] They want to have the guy they fantasize.
* They want to prove that they have the potential to attract men.
* They want to show that they are more beautiful or more hot than the wife or the partner.
* They want to succeed in their chosen career through flirting with a particular boss.
* They want to get what they want the easiest way.
* They want to have money or things they cannot afford for themselves.
* They want to cure boredom.
* They want to try new things.
And for other women, the reasons are more troubling, and sad:
* They want attention.
* They are sick with nymphomania.
* They have mental illnesses.
* They want to get even from a bad experience.[/i]
I think I pretty much covered everything. Do you agree with those in the list? Which do you believe is the best reason why?

You have covered everything bingskee. I think women need attention. They want their men to talk to them share many things with them every day. They want to hear caring words from their men. When they miss these things and find them in another man (who will also give them temporarily)they flirt.

Yeah it's indeed sad. I really dislike that kind of woman and pardon me for saying that she is just a complete slot!

Well, both sexes flirt. It's something natural in the human race 
When I have flirted with someone it was just because I felt attracted to that person, and if you don't try you will never know if something could have happened. As you will have already heard, you already have the "no" 
Also some people are more prone to flirt than others, but that depends on the nature and personality of that person itself too

I am a girl and I love flirting. It doesn't mean that I want to sleep with the man I am flirting with. It is just a game, when you show how feminine and cute you are and check the guy's reaction. Of course, every girl and woman wants to feel beautiful and special and flirting just helps get the attention and feel great.

I am a natural born flirt. It is a form of getting attention. It works. I have at times carried it too far and then had to set some boundaries. I always let someone know I am in a relationship. I will say things without thinking and
maybe I got carried away. I have always liked a lot of attention, so I guess I will have to admit I thrive on the feedback. Old habits are hard to break.

the best reason is they need attention from men^^ we all want to know we are pretty and good looking^^ even if we have a bf if a guy says we are pretty we feel happy^^ thats true^^ we like to know if we are pretty or not^^ looks are important for us women^^ we like to look good always^^ and that guys think that about us^^ thats the biggest reason for sure^^

I do agree in your list. There are women that flirt in a moderate way and there are others that are so vulgar, no sense of self-respect and are so obsessed. I have experienced flirting when I was a teenager at the height of my adolescence period, and I think I have done it for the reason that he was the guy I fantasized. But during that time,you can be considered flirting with just a wink of an eye, a smile or when you laugh out loud.

i believe that everybody experienced doing this act, kristeena. some know they did it, some did it by instinct. what could be worrisome is the degree some women do it not thinking about the consequences and the effect it could give to another woman. i agree, some are vulgar and obsessed.

I have an issue with some women for a couple of years as my boyfriend is an actor and well we are always around actors and actresses. The women take a while to warm up to me as, when we first meet they are quite flirty and disregard my presence.
It takes them a long time to warm up to me, as finally they get that I am with my boyfriend and sorry gals we are in for the long haul. So I finally realized that I know what the problem is, it is that they are jealous and envious of my looks. I do not want to brag but literally being I have done plenty of modeling my extra care and looks is something I take really good care of.
So what I have concluded with these bunch of jealous women is that they still need to prove that they still have it. As see while they were younger I suppose they got their ways just as on your list but now they are older so insecurity has kicked in.
You want to hear something funny, although I look way half their age, I am much older than all of them so Yup, I still got it. LOL..
thank you for sharing.
it is truly about competition at times. you must be very attractive. @toniganzon (72532)

i have tried flirting for the reason that I want to prove that I have the potential to attract men. When i was a high school student, i was very insecure with the way i look. AT that time, physical appearance matters most to me because i was immature and have less wisdom. When i went to college, i felt like i was liberated from my nutshell and that I should go out and show the world that I have confidence too. It was during this time that I learned how to flirt but never got to because somehow i didn't have the guts. AFter college that's when I started to grow some horns and tried to check if i could be an effective flirt. So basically I did it to prove something.
