I prefer if they make me laugh rather than dirty talk. I find some of the youth is very uncouth, my partner works with a man whose trousers are down his backside, showing everything, and says things like I'm as full as a chunky cxxt in a room full of women and swears every other word, i wouldn't like to think what his type of flirting is :(<br />Jouleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747138494777768051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-39293581827462353182017-11-10T22:10:32.840+00:002017-11-10T22:10:32.840+00:00Ok Flis,i think that would be fair enough.If the 3...Ok Flis,i think that would be fair enough.If the 3rd one is a beardy one I am quite sure Ilona would choose that one....But we must warn you Ilona....you go getting yourself pregnant..me and Flis will not be babysitting at the weekends cause we will be out boogying with his brothers...the other 2 vets,lol,Debi,xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-43235393288360056822017-11-10T21:44:18.410+00:002017-11-10T21:44:18.410+00:00I love that you flirted and look forward to hearin...I love that you flirted and look forward to hearing the next installment.

I will flirt with men occasionally and it's quite clear that it is just flirting. I have been on the receiving end of a noticeable amount of sexual harassment from men when I was younger (ie still attractive) and there were times when it went further than that! These days I look back and think I should have been stronger/stood up for myself a sight more than I did. So I am very pleased to see that Society has now obviously reached a watershed and things should be a lot better for younger women than they were for me. A comment by one of the women speaking out in the press today was to effect that the men who acted that way towards here were always ones with more power than she had - and it was quite clear that these mens attitude was about power basically. Fortunately - I've never been put in a position at least where a more "powerful" man could make or break my career (dependant on my response to his actions). That's basically because I've only ever had jobs - and not a career as such. But I can understand that it is very difficult for women in some positions (eg in acting or modelling) to refuse the unwanted sexual approaches AND try and further their career and it's clear there were times when women were forced into a relucant "choice" of dipping out on their career or letting a man impose what he wanted personally on them.<br />ceridwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618044461222968902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-54779613523339632092017-11-10T18:20:03.124+00:002017-11-10T18:20:03.124+00:00The poster called Ilona 'dear' as well as ...The poster called Ilona 'dear' as well as saying "Oh dear", it was pretty patronising. <br />But I agree with the poster, sexual harassment (I don't mean flirting) belongs in the dark ages.

I suppose nowadays Han wouldn't be allowed to invade Leia's space the way he does, whereas I always found it sexy and fun and Rhett certainly couldn't carry Scarlett off up that staircase. I'm weary of political correctness, goodness knows how we all managed years ago without being offended 24/7. kateonthecoasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08891902076668283146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-65365896667748618512017-11-09T21:35:49.882+00:002017-11-09T21:35:49.882+00:00Flirting makes the world go around!Flirting makes the world go around!Living Alone in Your 60'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08848266282669835475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-5609293678742796012017-11-09T21:12:59.987+00:002017-11-09T21:12:59.987+00:00Unless you have power over him in any way, you are...Unless you have power over him in any way, you are not in any danger of sexual harassing the guy.

Yet, these days, with all that's in the news, and so many vastly different cultures and mores, it is still (for someone like me) a MINEFIELD. Round abouts where I live, you would NOT believe ( I don't ) the reactions I have gotten in return for a friendly smile and a nod. (this from different cultures).<br /><br />But, I do worry about Young Folks/Dating Folks. This is hugely problematical. And, I think it must be a huge stressor. These days it is likely a minefield. At this point I was going to say, "for all but the elderly and infirm". Sadly, I cannot even give that "exception". Don't know if you all saw the news reports, but the United States "most famous" elderly and infirm person (Elder George Bush) is in Hot Water (and one wonders how much money has been paid out?)...Apparently he, while even elderly, infirm and in his wheelchair, has a habit of asking any attractive woman near to him to lean over, asks her the question "do you know my favorite magician?". While she is leaning over to listen, he says.."David Cop a Feel", and grabs her bum.<br /><br />(of course I do wonder why someone hasn't been assigned to stand next to him?
