How would you define this? Have you done this? Do you think it contains playful guardedness?

― Orchard Beach (coo), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 16:46 (eighteen years ago)

Being clever is hott. Being clever, and finding someone who thinks cleverness is hott, and being clever in a flirty way, is intellectual flirting.

Now to define clever . . .

The very concept makes me cock my head to the side and whine, like a confused hound.

"intellectual flirting" = yr funny but i don't want to fuck you LOCK THRED

― say it with blood diamonds (a_p), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 16:58 (eighteen years ago)

Ooh, I wouldn't say that's true at all.

Does exchanging poetry count as intellectual flirting?

― to scour or to pop? (Haberdager), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:01 (eighteen years ago)

Only if it's written on your cock.

― God Bows to Meth (noodle vague), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:02 (eighteen years ago)

All boys think intellectual flirting is self-deprecation and effeminacy. Oh how the ladies love a bit of that, amirite?

― Ruairi Wirewool (Ruairi Wirewool), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:04 (eighteen years ago)

No. I was thinking of intellectual flirting as competitive and almost jousty, rather than more usual softer flirting

Sound like a pair of pooftahs to me.

i just wanted it locked before we started "exchanging poetry"

― say it with blood diamonds (a_p), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:07 (eighteen years ago)

xposts: yeah, this is generally the sort i indulge in. see what they're made of, challenge their intellect etc. it's great, although i'm yet to find out whether it works in the long run...

― to scour or to pop? (Haberdager), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:08 (eighteen years ago)

What's the opposite? Really stupid flirting?
Please provide examples of both. All of you flirts.

― aimurchie (aimurchie), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:08 (eighteen years ago)

I keep clicking on this one and it keeps getting wider and wider of the mark. I don't know if it's the lack of self-control or just eternal hope that someone will have straightened it out in the meantime.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:10 (eighteen years ago)

louis when you 'exchange' poetry with a girl does in involve the girl giving you a poem in return? serious q.

― geoff (gcannon), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:12 (eighteen years ago)

I can't flirt, intellectually or otherwise. All my previous girlfriends clubbed me over the head and dragged me back to their caves.

― Ruairi Wirewool (Ruairi Wirewool), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:13 (eighteen years ago)

xpost: Well, with the girl I'm currently interested in, yes! Hers is pretty good, too, which is doing wonders for my opinion of her. ;-)

We're participating in a rather more elemental kind of flirting tonight in the form of a pint-downing contest. Her record is three seconds (she's about 5'2" and 7/8 stone too!). Mine's about four. It'll take a pretty massive performance to win that one...

― to scour or to pop? (Haberdager), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:18 (eighteen years ago)

ok just curious. enjoy yourself!

― geoff (gcannon), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:18 (eighteen years ago)

Maybe she's trying to get you drunk, Louis. It'll certainly make the poetry more interesting.

― Ruairi Wirewool (Ruairi Wirewool), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 17:20 (eighteen years ago)

If you can have a giggle by being clever and funny and a little bit risque with one another, then that's cool. If you're doing it to cement the impression in your own opinions that the pair of you are the intellectual superiors of the plebs around you, then you're a pair of cockfarmers who richly deserve each other.

― Stone Monkey (Stone Monkey), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 18:00 (eighteen years ago)

Is this a bit like a James Bond/Zorro kind of character swordfighting a girl whilst they exchange witty quips?

The very concept makes my cock head to the side and whine, like a confused hound.

― Edward III (edward iii), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 20:39 (eighteen years ago)

Honestly, though, I've only seen anything matching this description written, like as snappy dialogue for a Cary Grant movie -- and then when people actually try to talk like this in real life, there's something really strained and transparent about it, really imitative, and then within a couple seconds someone's made a weird mental connection or coy statement that the other person can't follow, and it all falls apart a bit. Coy/indirect stuff can work on film, cause no one will ever misunderstand; in real life someone's bound to lose the thread and stumble.

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 20:46 (eighteen years ago)

Often a movie character loses the thread too, but it works for humor value as the audience is kept in the loop. I think it requires some kind of 3rd person perspective, even if you're one of the participants.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 20:52 (eighteen years ago)

OMG guys and gals it's all up in the gods now I THINK I'VE FOUND SOMEONE I LOVE i'm drunk but I'VE SENT AN EMAIL we were getting on amazingly she told me about her life her childhood the fact she was single and in need of love I LOVE HER I THINK we just needed a place to sit ALL THE SEATS WERE TAKEN then she got a call from her sister it took ages FIFTEEN MINUTES we were both drunk the mood was killed she felt bad she had to go home i insisted on walking her home but she said no she'd be ok SHE IS AN AMAZING PERSON she's lived on her own since the age of 15 and she writes great poetry and she loves my poetry and she went home without me it's ok i know i love her i sent an email saying she's an amazing person and that i care deeply about her and that we must meet soon please go right please realise that i care this isn't just about me, it's about the fact that i've found someone real, someone i can care about, someone who sees things on the same plane as i do it's about us, IF WE'D MANAGED to sit down i'd have told her this already, oh god i've never felt like this before maybe it was the poppers (haha, no rly) i took for the first time, nah, they only lasted five minutes, i'm just drunk, smitten, bewildered, scared, hopeful, and distressed, so please understand me, it wasn't just intellectual flirting, it was something like love, she probably feels kinda the same i hope, we shall wait and see, we shall wait and see...

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 03:44 (eighteen years ago)

the scary thing is that she's a) a philosophy student (AGAIN, why do i always fall for them) and b) she came to the club the other night with a philosophy textbook tied around her neck on a piece of string, so i perhaps wouldn't put that past her...nah, she's a girl i find it just so great to love, she's so amazing and self-determined and funny and lovely...argh i maybe need to sleep

― friday on the porch (lfam), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 03:56 (eighteen years ago)

fun or heartbreak remains, either that or i'll have forgotten all about it in the morning, then i'll remember when i see her reply to my besotted missal, then i'll either skip for joy or crumple into an embarrassed wretched heap and then go on ILX and tell everyone about it...

the dude who gave me the amyl nitrate expressly told me that if anything happened with this girl he'd give me some to enhance my first experiences of lovemaking, apparently it does wonders. here's hoping!

Aha, your expert grasp of the Gallic tongue has just reminded me...this same friend who plied me with amyl, well, his favourite word of all time is jouissance. I'm sure you, Michael, are already aware of its meaning. Suffice it to say that he absolutely worships it. He's probably the most sexually devout individual I know, and an absolute gentleman to go with it.

we just needed a place to sit ALL THE SEATS WERE TAKEN then she got a call from her sister it took ages FIFTEEN MINUTES we were both drunk the mood was killed she felt bad she had to go home i insisted on walking her home but she said no she'd be ok

I dunno. That sounds like a brushoff to me. But what I know.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 04:49 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, believe me, it wasn't a brush-off. She was pouring her stories into my ears for a good long while, was dancing enthusiastically, but the call took fifteen minutes. She came back and tried to dance, but plainly wasn't up for it any more, probably as the result of her sister's call (they're obviously really close, and if her sister's down or something I don't blame her for feeling sympathy and heading home). I reckon my subsequent course of action was probably for the best! :-)

it's possible to be intellectually attracted. intellectual flirting does not exist.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 05:47 (eighteen years ago)

just the idea that your flirting is more 'intellectual' than others' is really pretentious.

intellectual attraction and compatibility, i am down with.

some examples of intellectual flirting on this thread are really just instances of cleverness, though, and that's not quite the same thing. i've known tons of clever people, some of them very good flirters, but nevertheless people to whom i would never be intellectually attracted.

― the art of pretend non-lawyering. (tehresa), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 05:52 (eighteen years ago)

I would define it as flirting with a person to whom one is intellectually attracted, but the means for doing this are not obvious and not necessarily effective and easily misunderstood: "Not you." For example, one could be intellectually attracted to Bob Dylan.

― youn (youn), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 05:52 (eighteen years ago)

wait, I don't understand. flirting with a person to whom one is intellectually attracted is still just plain flirting.

one could be intellectually and not-so-intellectually attracted to Bob Dylan, especially circa, say, Nashville Skyline album cover era, circa 1969, but what does that have to do with anything?

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 06:00 (eighteen years ago)

I'm somewhat sure that I don't care, but Louis, I just broke up with someone who practically matches the description of your obsession (emo sister and all). DO NOT GO THERE, srsly.

― Badrock Example (Barima), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 10:24 (eighteen years ago)

Intellectual flirting is cool. I guess it's when you're having a conversation about highbrow stuff (I mean that in a good way) but you're both speaking with passion about it, and the rest of your body is flirting like mad, eyes and what have you. The shit is awesome.

― Johnney B English (stigoftdump), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 10:29 (eighteen years ago)

What an extraordinary board!

I didn't really mean any of this when i said Intellectual Flirting! Nabisco seems to get what i mean but some of these other posts? Just...wow

I wanted to try and find out what Playful Guardedness might be. ...How about...Competitive Flirting. Flirting with a kind of hard edge. Maybe that guy is right upthread, that this only happens in films.

― Orchard Beach (coo), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 10:35 (eighteen years ago)

Competitive flirting? Yeh, Cary Grant to thread. Although I have sometimes got in the zone with someone when we're both doing this, but the tone is always less Cary Grant and more Barry Cryer.

Yeah, he posted this poem he wrote a few months back:

"All them girls..."
(pause)
"You must be like a kid in a sweet shop,"
He said.
I pondered.
If you were a kid in a sweet shop,
The first half hour would be nice.
Mmmmmm, sweets, you'd think, Delicious!
You'd cram caramel into your lusty gut,
Scoff toffees and gobble choc drops,
Yielding to the spirit of Bacchus.
You'd gorge on sherbert mountains,
and guzzle fizzy pop lagoons.
But in the moons glare when
The sweet shop bristled
With hollow lonely clicks,
You'd squirm.

Dull looming jars. Bereft of treats.
Floor strewn with curly whirly corpses,
Like a Columbine on Wonka's factory floor,
Slaughtered oompa loompas twitching by the counter.
Then the demons would come.
You'd paw the indifferent glass, cold like Spandau walls
"What wouldn't I give for a sprout"
you'd mutter as you died of diabetes.
He reflected; "Still, all them girls..."

Haha, I knew that by leaving that there I'd coax a bit of amusement from the ILX crowd! Nah, nothing physical's happened; my jubilation was that her email accepted and reciprocated mine, and invited me to join her 'on a country walk' whenever I was next free. Not to read any euphemism into that, it's still my ideal kind of date; chilled-out, blissful, escapist...

It might have something to do with them growing up a touch and getting girlfriends before turning 22. Or possibly because there's not a strong enough comparison.

MACDUFF: What three things does drink especially provoke?
PORTER: Marry, sir, nose-painting, sleep, and urine. Lechery, sir,
it provokes and unprovokes: it provokes the desire, but it takes
away the performance. Therefore much drink may be said to be an
equivocator with lechery: it makes him, and it mars him; it sets
him on, and it takes him off; it persuades him and disheartens
him; makes him stand to and not stand to; in conclusion,

equivocates him in a sleep, and giving him the lie, leaves him.

socially maladroit

Erm, no.

This supposed 'posting about my virginity on EVERY SINGLE THREAD EVER' is bollocks. I have, it is true, contributed to a few threads whose central concern is dearth of sexual experience (note: I have started NONE of these threads), just as any other poster might contribute. The difference is that my contributions are picked up upon by others, magnified, blown out of proportion, dissected, parodied, roffled at and protracted by others, who seem to find them hilariously funny/embarrassing. Indeed, my writing-style is inclined to be enterprising and humourous, with the side-effect that any laughs I have at my own expense are taken to be admissions of idiocy. This thread, for instance, yeah, perhaps I shouldn't have posted when drunk but hey, I was happy, I was excited, and I had to tell people. In retrospect, I'd not have mentioned the poppers (I didn't really know what they were before my mate gave me some, and they didn't exactly cause any noticeable change to my mental equilibrium, but they do it seems hold a place in general opinion as very low-rent Club Med trash for folks who can't afford Class A) and perhaps wouldn't have perpetuated the sentiments myself, although it seems this evening (afternoon in Yankieland) I haven't needed to.

In fact, if much of what was said wasn't so funny, I'd be even more strenuous in my protests; all we need is some decent Googleproofing and I wouldn't overtly mind it.

No, seriously, dude, people aren't blowing it out of proportion, you need to not turn every relationship thread into a thread about yourself, otherwise you're gonna keep getting riffed on endlessly. It's a kind of amazing display of exuberance and narcissism but you gotta be cool with the eye-rolling if you're going to continue to do that. Otherwise, start your own thread, entitled "HABERDAGER LOVE THREAD" or whatever psuedo-googleproofy thing you want to call it, and just pile it all on there! That would be ok too.

Seriously, though, do not do the drugs whenever you have sex for the first time, that's a really horrible idea.

With Jessie on the poems thing but I really dislike poetry.

Louis, I am seriously not trying to be petty or mean or whatever, but you post TONS of personal details on ILX, occasionally ask for personal advice (see: I have never had sex threads, which I know you didn't start but you did manage to make them entirely about you), and then get upset when people take the piss. If you stopped posting about every time you spoke to a girl, maybe people wouldn't tease you?

xxxxpost basically what Ally said.

Hahaha Curtis I should reveal to you my horrible ultra-goth high school years.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 20:56 (eighteen years ago)

I have decided in the clear light of day to avoid drugs entirely whilst having sex. I only considered it briefly when sozzled last night. Besides, my drug intake is extremely infrequent and mild at the worst of times (the (very) occasional spliff, teh amyl last night, and that's it); I wouldn't want to sully my lovemaking with confounding powders.

― to scour or to pop? (Haberdager), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 20:56 (eighteen years ago)

Does exchanging poetry count as intellectual flirting?

Love poetry is ace for this, but it is highly tricky to pull off. The best strategy is to be a world-class poet and write your own deathless love poems that you send to the object of your desire, full of urbanity, yearning and clever playfulness.

This approach is 1000 times better than cutting off your ear with a razor and sending her that. Trust me on this point.

Armed Robber: No nonsense. Just give me all your money.
Mr Logic: I shall commence by pointing out to you that my demeanour is not one which could be described as nonsensical. Consequently I can attest you have no cause to reprimand me on your first point. On to your second point: Bearing in mind the potentially lethal situation in which I find myself, to wit: your presence in conjunction with the presumably loaded firearm which is presently levelled at my cranium, I will comply with your request comprehensively, albeit reluctantly. Here, twenty-seven pence.
Armed Robber: Twenty-seven pence? Fuck off. There's more than that in the till.
Mr Logic: Indeed, undoubtedly so. However your request was for *my* money. The currency in the till belongs to a third party and is therefore not "my money". However, if you are still desirous of said money I would suggest that you re-phrase your original statement to recognise and incorporate this important distinction.
