“The ability to flirt and date is an evolutionary innate skill that men either know or don’t know how to do on command and those that don’t deserve to die off. “ How accurate is this statement?

If knowing to flirt was an evolutionary skill then everyone would know how to flirt cause all the guys that didn’t know never passed down their genes.

The concept of flirting and dating in the current sense has probably only existed for about ~70 years so clearly not accurate that it's evolutionary

Not at all accurate. Not “knowing how to flirt” doesn’t mean you are a bad person or deserve to be alone. Half the time I don’t understand it either. Like 1 said there’s a difference between someone who’s creepy about flirting or being weird verse someone who isn’t and it’s a very clear difference. But if you don’t know how to flirt you can still be creepy

It’s not accurate at all, at least in my opinion. I think men confuse the ability to flirt and the ability to not make people uncomfortable. I find guys who are shy and nervous to flirt attractive. What is not attractive however is a man complimenting me or hitting on me and automatically expects me to give my life and love to him for simply acknowledging me. When men flirt or compliment me, I know 9 times out of 10, he’s doing it for his gain, not mine, and those men deserve to die off

okay, but then what separates then a man in your eyes who is trying to flirt but being bad and awkward about it to a guy that is creepy? because both can be awkward to deal with as a woman

For me, it’s what the guy notices about me. I don’t always appreciate compliments about my physical appearance because it leads me to worry that it’s all a man notices about me. I want a man who compliments and wants me for my intelligence, humor, and personality, not my body or looks.

okay, absolutely fair and a lot of women say that as well. My question is if you met a guy that really valued you for your intelligence, what would separate him from being viewed as just “a colleague” or “the guy that said my work was fascinating” versus “guy that was charmed by my humor and personality”? Because I feel like both interpretations could equally be true about the same person but only the latter is what would resonate.

I’ll say this, women can always tell when you like them. I have never in my almost 20 years of life have had a guy like me and me not know before he tells me. So if a man is complimenting me and I can already kind of tell, I either tell them I know and would like a date if the feelings are reciprocated on my end, or if I don’t like him, I pretend I don’t know until he tells me to save us both that convo😭
