So far, nobody here has posted any specific flirtation techniques that they have deployed or that they have seen other women employ. They've only complained about methods that I have gleaned from other sources.

That doesn’t appear to be the case.

I will say in passing that publishing posts on WP makes them open to scrutiny and criticism. What occurred in this thread isn’t so much about “complaining” although I can understand why one might want to frame criticism in that light.

Regarding female flirting, here’s what I said in the first post in this thread:

Flirting can vary drastically from woman to woman. However, I will say that banter is pretty common in my experience, not that friends don’t joke around, too. Sometimes women smile more than they normally would. This stuff isn’t necessarily intentional but more about being happy around/enjoying the company of someone they like.
Lost_dragon demonstrated realistic flirting by rewriting the passage you asked for feedback on here.

Well, I have enough for this chapter of my novella. Feel free to continue discussing the art of female flirtation, if you wish.

Flirting always struck me more as a feedback loop sort of thing. Not so much something you do at someone but with them. A lot of non-verbal communication involved.

Which may explain why some of us struggle not just with the practice but the core concept.

Two good insights there, DH.
