Flirting with women is easy actually¶

A guide to flirting that argues subtle, indirect signaling of sexual intent separates a man from the friend zone and frames him as high value.

Key points¶

Flirting is what makes a woman see you as a romantic/sexual prospect rather than a friend; a purely platonic conversation, however pleasant, ends with you going home alone.
Avoid being too obvious. Directness kills mystery and intrigue. Being too sexually direct also removes a woman's "plausible deniability"; the claim is women are socialized to fear being seen as promiscuous, so give her a way to frame things as something that "just happened."
Be subtle and indirect. Imply attraction rather than stating it (e.g. "I love girls who love sports bras" instead of a blunt compliment). Avoid complimenting physical looks.
Pass tests (snide remarks, tricky questions, demands) by "agree and amplify" -- agreeing and exaggerating to an absurd level rather than getting defensive.
Act like the prize. Flip the chase by framing her as the pursuer ("are you trying to seduce me?").
Push-pull. Mix pulling her in (a compliment) with pushing away ("you're like my little sister") to create tension; cites Thomas Paine, "what we obtain too cheap we esteem too lightly."
Other tactics: pretend her innocent questions are attempts to seduce you, use sexual innuendo ("I'm good at many things"), and accuse her of "using" you to bring sex into the conversation playfully.

Reactions skewed skeptical and comedic, with the top responses arguing you do not need to flirt at all -- just stay composed in her presence and talk to her normally.
A widely shared sentiment was that real attraction comes down to looks and confidence ("be handsome, don't be ugly") more than technique.
Several viewers found specific lines creepy or cringeworthy, especially accusing women of trying to seduce you, calling it the worst approach they had seen.
Others said being direct can work fine if you are genuinely confident, and that mind games feel exhausting and unnecessary for busy adults.
A minority reported the advice helped, including getting a woman to chase them.
