That Strange Thing Called Flirting.

George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones

Flirting. It's something that everyone does at least once in their lives. Sometimes we are the "preys", sometimes the "predators", but the concept is always the same: get what we want, trying to be charming and extraordinarily attractive. 

We show our best cards just to get that one person we are looking for. It doesn't matter if it is just for a one night stand or a more serious thing, we just feel the need to flirt with people we find attractive or interesting. It comes so naturally. We flirt even with people we don't know, or we've just met. If we find them attractive or nice, it starts automatically.

It is so weird, why do we need to flirt so much with people around us?
Maybe we are constantly seeking for attentions. When we find a charming person, we want to show them the best (and also the fake) part of us. Always smiling, we laugh at every single joke they do (even if it is the worst joke ever), we pretend to like the same things, no matter if we have no clue of what they are talking about. We just do our best to look perfect. And obviously we are not, and neither are they.

Sometimes we delude them because all we were interested in was "fun", and at some point, without any reason, we say goodbye and walk away. Or maybe they delude us in the same way. Sometimes we try so hard to pretend to be someone else, and that's what bring many relationship to a horrible break-up. Or we let other people know how we truly are (our best side first, the worst side later), and they are happy to live with both of them.

There are also the desperate people that flirt with every single human being just because they don't want to be alone. It's the worst thing ever because most of the time they live their relationship in a really bad way. It doesn't matter if he/she is the right person, the important thing is having someone by your side. 

Another category could be the "Alpha Male". That one guy that flirts with every single girl just because he's "too cool" so he can "do whatever he wants". Well, I really would like to set fire to this kind of men, so please let's skip this point.

We can talk about women that flirts with every single boy. It's something similar to the "alpha male" thing with a remarkable difference. The woman is not cool if she flirts with boys. She is a slut. Just because she wants to have fun. 

Just like men.
