I have a naturally flirtatious manner, so lots of things are HAWT and beautiful and gorgeous to me. I also believe that people should feel that way about themselves. So I say it.
But when I flirt, it's about the ego boo and not about getting in someone's pants.
I have pants I'm into already and I like them.
Sadly, I've had one person misinterpret this. But fortunately, I've only had ONE person misinterpret this, so I must be doing something right.
I think on some level it's harder for women, just because sometimes my gender seems to be full of clueless trolling douchebags (at least online). YMMV.
