Flirting

I'm a flirt. I flirt with everyone I meet. And I do so for the sole purpose of getting free stuff. From fish, to cookies and chocolate shakes, to senior discounts, and even better sex. I flirt for stuff.

I know. It doesn't make sense. Well, let me explain...

First off. We need to understand the effects of self-esteem on the individual. Women are more prone to the effects of self esteem then men, but men are still far from immune. The key to successful flirting is to raise their self esteem without coming across as a pervert. That means absolutely nothing sexual. Smiles, compliments, and "looks" only. The idea is to make the person feel attractive without actually telling them so. When a person feels more attractive, they feel better about themself, and if you were the one to make them feel that way, there is a good chance for a reward.

This only works with strangers however. If you don't believe me, try telling your wife that the dress shes wearing looks good on her and doesn't make her look fat. Then have a random guy tell her the same thing. See who she believes and which one makes her blush. Odds are it isn't you.

Being well groomed helps alot too. If you look like a dirty old man people are going to think you are a dirty old man before you even open your mouth.

This does work with different sexual orientations. For example, on my way thru West Virgina monday night, I stopped at a McDonalds. The cashier was blatantly gay. The girl working the rather slow drive thru was straight (or at least bi). So for research sake, I flirted with both of them. I didn't discriminate or try to hide my flirting. Each of them went and made an "Extra" chocolate shake and then asked me if I wanted it. I left with two chocolate shakes that I didn't pay for or even order.

Some other examples...

A few weeks ago I took my wife out on a date to see Pirates. We stopped at Taco Bell, both of us well dressed and groomed. And there was a cute little black gal behind the counter. Her name was Miquita. I have a personal fascination with the letter Q so any time I see it in a name, I am instantly drawn to it like a fat boy to a doughnut. So I started some casual conversation about what a pretty name it was and some well timed smiles and looks. And she asked me if I would like a seniors discount? I said I didn't think I was old enough but sure. She put her finger up to her lips, shushed me, and I got 10% off our meal. My wife standing right next to me the whole time.

Theres a pet store in Marysville that seems to only employ young highschool girls. Those are the easiest targets hands down. I regularily used to go there and walk out with $5-$30 dollars in free fish. Stace would regularily walk in a few minutes behind me just to watch the fun.

It does work both ways as well. I regularily would entice my wife to do some casual flirting with cashiers and such. This has two effects. One, every now and then, she'll get a discount or something free (which ultimatly benefits me). And Two, most guys will flirt back. This raises her self esteem in ways that I'll never be able to. Leaving her on the horney side. And well, I'm sure you can figure out how that benefits me.

Now I'm not saying that my flirting doesn't benefit others. It does. And if everyone did it, there would be a lot more happy people in this world. I do it becuase its in my best interest to and when someone does flirt back it ups my self esteem as well. So in the end everyone is happier and I get a free cookie. Now go out and flirt!
