some gold members add a feature that allows them to send flirts to standard members and then the standard member can respond..i don't because flirts seem cold and less than a passing fancy..messages are best shows more than a passing fancy..

Flirts are just a way that people can keep a record of others they may be interested in getting to know. Think of it as swiping right on one of those other online social networking sites. They saw your picture or your profile and liked it. When doing this to a standard member its kind of a tease in that your options in communicating with them back are limited. You could see if that person has a blog and communicate there. They may have some magazine posts that you could reply to if you have interest back. You might run into them in a chat room as well. If a standard member upgrades then they could either flirt or email back. Personally I ignore flirts and hotlists on this site but others see those things as leads for people that they might want to get to know. They are a lot like the f-book poke as far as i'm considered.

I've been Gold and I've been Standard.. Currently I'm standard and doing fine. People get in touch with me on My Private Mail Box... that I set up on my blog. Piece of cake to set up. Convos are private and... it works both ways - if another person has a blog mail box - you can contact them there. Flirts are a way to get their attention. If you need help setting up your mail box here, give me a shout. Best of luck... This A F F island is slightly messed up... but also a lot of fun! 🏝️🎅 ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

A standard member still receives a notice of the contact. They do get 3 IMs a day. Thye then know attempting to contact someone who flirted could be good. Also it could show intirest in someone that may not be 1oo% like your profile says your looking for. Opens the door to explore or not.

It's certainly a step in the right direction.The next hurdle is a bit higher though.Have you read their profile before you actually get to message them.Therein lies the dilemma.Provided they have a bit more than just a few words on their profile.Most aren't to crazy about someone not perusing their profile before engaging. Using more than all the road!

What is the point of the flirt option,... To draw attention. especially if you are flirting with a standard member? .... To incite the standard member to buy into the site. If you're interested, why not just send an actual message?.... Agreed... but the concept of the "Flirt" in real life, is to gauge sexual interest from a distance. So likewise, on here, when you send a flirt to someone.. you do that to see if they are at all interested enough to engage, with you, in chat. And then the flirts to standard members? We cannot flirt back, can't send mail in response or really respond in any way. ... .Again.. they send you a flirt in hopes they find you attractive enough to spend money , in order to flirt back or chat. So what's the goal with this? .... Usually a personal goal....unless the site , itself, is using bots to nudge you into spending some money. I understand that some are probably from fake accounts, but others I've gotten are from real live members.... A fake account is made by a real life member. The person you meet [someday] might have several fake accounts. So I'm just not sure how to take this. .... It's not complicated. Buy or don't buy. and be nice... "Be nice"? LOL... that's funny...

I thought it gave points to someone so they can chat etc

Well first, it's Thursday here in the US. Flirts are an attention getter. Whether they are a good one is another matter. The recipient can choose to ignore it (easy to do or take some action on it based on the recipient's interest. I have a couple women who send me flirts occasionally they are kind of a Hi thing in a way. You can choose to overthink it if you want. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

i agree re flirts being kinda silly

The flirts are harmless- ignore if you wish. Your best bet: Set Up A private Mailbox on Your Blog. I can think of three of us that posted to this tonight who can help you willingly (Virtual Symposium Group) use Virtual Symposium Group

Flirts, just like almost everything else on this site mean absolutely a lot of crap.

I can send flirts if I pay a few points. I used a flirt once with a guy I had met for coffee because he hadn't been online for me to message. For me, the point was to let him know I was still interested. If I really want to keep track of someone, I'd use the Hotlist feature instead. So overall, I don't think the Flirt function is very useful. I prefer messaging so we can have a conversation and learn about each other.
