Is online flirting, when you know your S.O. disapproves, OK because you "are only flirting online and not in the real world"?

My opinion (surprise, surprise) is that it's not OK, period. It's said to be OK because it's not face-to-face, and online it's just fun and games.

I call bullshit. People meet online friends in person all the time. They even meet their future spouses online. The "it's only online" argument is bogus.

I would also imagine that many of those who feel it's OK would be less than eager to have their own S.O.s discover their activity.

Thoughts?

I'm still not convinced that "Mer" isn't just the handle Endelt posts under when he's got his junk tucked and the lipstick on.

What makes flirting fun, at least to guys, is the fact that EVERY ONE OF THEM has a little part of their brain that's telling them "they just might get some someday".

Don't deny it; to say otherwise is pure BS.

I think Mr. Iowanian's approach is correct.

There is a distinction between "innocent" flirtation and something more serious.

But, if your SO gets you PO'd you can always KO the SO. That usually solves the problem.

Kick that bitch to the curb!

No seriously, if you're uncomfortable with it then it shouldn't be going on. That's marraige man.
She should respect your feelings enough not to do that type of shit. It goes both ways as well.

I'm fairly sure it's pretty fun to watch men puff up with self importance just because you were able to string 3 words together that inflated his ego.

We don't need flirting on the internet for the dream of getting laid. Every guy on the street is a potential dream.

I do need Iowanni to blow me tho.

Whatever works for you.

My earlier reply was referring to men in particular.

Every man who's ever flirted with you, whether it was the mailman or a creepy first cousin, has wanted to have sex with you. I don't care what they say, it doesn't matter.

Where men are concerned: Flirting = desire for sex.

No exceptions.

You can flirt online?

But, yeah... I don't so much flirt with ugly girls.

You can't bullshit me.

The fact that you found a cute little angle doesn't change what's going on between your ears.

Any time a guy talks to me at all that's what he's thinking.

I'm new but this intrigued me.

I think flirting on a bulletin board is just words unless pictures, emails and phone calls are involved.

I haven't seen any pictures so I'd guess it's just words being exchanged.

I do know, from experience, that trust is like a soap bubble, once broken it cannot be replaced.

I would take exception to this, once a guy gets past say 50, he could be trying to row his boat with a piece of rope. If you have a desire for sex but cannot do the deed, is it still cheating?

Funny. All it takes is an empty cup and a smile to get you to brave the artic cold to reach the kegger for me.

Get off the Internet and go back to work.

I'm flirting here.

Sounds pretty slutty to me.

Some people perceive things wrong. Someone can be nice to someone, and that person will think they are being flirted with. Some people, it's just their personalities, and they don't even realize they're doing it. Some people are completely different people when they are online. You can say things that you normally wouldn't say because you're not face to face. I would say that it also depends on the intent. You can flirt with someone knowing fully well that you have no plans of meeting them in person.
