Each month GIRL.COM.AU presents you with the word from the street. This is your chance to get on your soap box and have your say!
The question we posed this month was "Who is the bigger flirt? Guys or Girls?"
"In my case I know I am a big flirt. I can't deny I like to tease girls!
Ricky's Rules: The harder you are to get and the more you deny them what they want, the more they want you! So I make girls come one step forward then I push them two steps back and I guarantee that they will want to come three steps in your direction! Don't get me wrong, girls can tease but they are mistaken if they think they have the upper hand on me! It's all a big game, and the rules are hard to learn. It all comes down to the final checkmate! The question is which domino will be the last to stand...because if you don't know how to play you will be bowled over for a strike!"
Ricky, 21 yrs, Finance
"Girls are. Simply because guys are more visual than girls and since flirtingis highly visual it is obvious that women do it more because they THINK itworks!"
Jason, 18 yrs, Marketing Student
"Girls definitely flirt more than guys. Guys are too scared these days!"
Kylie, 18 yrs, Media Student
"I think that girls are bigger flirts. I know at my school, girls are always trying to impress the guys and they are much more obvious than guys who flirt."
Lisa, 14 yrs, Student
"That is a tough one. Girls and guys both flirt with each other, as it takes two people to flirt or else it's not called flirting, is it? Girls do flirt better however!"
Jim, 17 yrs, Student
"Definitely guys. They are always trying to pick girls up and impress them with their macho ways. It is really funny watching the guys at the bus stop flirt with every girl that happens to walk past them on the street. Boys will be boys I guess!"
Veronica, 15 yrs, Student
"NO comment, my lawyer has recommended me not to say anything as there may be female repercussions!"
John, 21 yrs, Accountant
"Girls, Girls, girls are definitely the biggest flirts! Maybe for one exception -gay guys!"
Jude, 17 yrs, Student
"To be totally honest, both are the same. Good-looking guys flirt so much to the point of being a little obscene. Girls can flirt just as hard. If a girl knows how to "work it" then she can be the best flirt around. In my life to date though, good looking guys attached or unattached, are such big "room-workers"! They like to remind themselves that they (think) they can have anyone!"
Christina, 19 yrs, Media Student
"Girls and guys both flirt the same amount but I'd say that guys are more obvious, whereas girls are more discreet."
Tommy, 16 yrs, Student
"When it comes to flirting, girls win over their male counterparts big time! I am the biggest flirt of them all - I can't help myself! When I see an attractive guy, immediately my pearly whites show, my lashes start fluttering and I have a compulsion to constantly flick my hair! It's terrible behaviour I know, but it is so much fun!"
Mandy, 22 yrs, Retail
"Guys definitely flirt more than girls. The reason for this is that guy's have EGO's, (yes that dirty word)... It is not uncommon for a guy to want to prove his "manliness" by going up to a particular female and seeing if "he's still got it". Although there may be some women out there who think along these lines, the majority of them are males. Guys also tend to be a lot more careless and self-centred than girls and so they often don't consider the fact that they may be toying with a girls emotions."
Raphael, 23, Architect
