Why is flirting with girls not effective for me?

Asked by Coting (371points) January 23rd, 2010

Now I’m male and bi, but not out fully. Now I get a lot of attention off guys really easily, I don’t even try it just happens but with girls zip. I don’t act gay or anything but I still don’t get any attention (flirting, etc) off girls.
I find it almost impossible to get a girl flirt back to me.

You gotta work on your Gay-dar.

It is possible that you are flirting with the wrong kind (hetero) of girls. Men do not ask themselves if the woman that is flirting with them might be bi or gay.

I’m a guy just to say.

Kind of like @Marina writes, you might be flirting with girls who aren’t interested in you. Keep flirting and you’re sure to find one who’s responsive. There’s only so much smiling, catching of eyes and blushing back a forth a girl who’s interested in you will find fun before she wants you to out with it and ask her for a date.

Maybe the girls assume that you are gay?

@sleepdoc hit the nail on the head, for sure. It’s a lot harder to get with a girl than it is with a guy. I’m also bi, and that’s been my experience.

I think a lot of bi guys probably seem more gay than they think. What I mean is if you are easily attracting guys, that may be the case. It also may be totally off the mark, but if I think a guy is gay I’m not going to flirt with him.

maybe you have no game.

I have the same problem, but I’m a bi girl. It’s a lot easier to meet guys because they do all the work of approaching and flirting with you. With girls, you really have to make the first move.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m always really happy when a cute guy that I thought was gay ends up just being bi… it means I’ve got a chance.

Women and men flirt differently. Maybe you just think they’re not interested because you’re looking for the same type of clues you’d usually get from men? As @Haleth said, men tend to be much more aggressive when it comes to flirting. I think us women are probably much more difficult to read.
