I wish that people wouldn’t flirt in the photo threads. Invariably, the cute people get all the "How ya doing"s and the regular folks just get to hear crickets.  
[/QUOTE]  
I pretty much stopped participating in photo threads, because a) I’d be posting the same damn photo I did last time, and b) I’m old enough that flirting is vaguely creepy. Also, I could never remember everyone.

I would like to point out to the group that although I have no idea of you physical appearance, neigh, even your gender, I am currently having thoughts of sexual congress betwixt yourself and myself and perhaps a pony as well.

IANAMG (I am not a male gigolo), this is not sexual advice, you are not my sexual partner, nor have I ever had sex with you nor any person or animal of which we are discussing.

That said… Heya. 😉

I wasn’t even aware that the SDMB had photo threads.

As for flirting, I’ve seen a trend towards the line “You. Me. Sex. Now.” This seems to sum up 99% of male thoughts in four words. Can’t beat that.

They are actually dual purpose, us older married types show ourselves and families for the sake of putting a face to a name while the younger folk and the single folk flirt to no end. Of course \*\*LOUNE \*\* among others just flirts at any time with any excuse, even during dead celebrity threads. 😉

My favorite: “Let’s get you out of those wet clothes.”

The usual response: “My clothes aren’t wet.”

The risposte: “I can fix that.”

I thought braces were what we Yanks call suspenders.

“Hey baby, wanna feel the Force?”

“May I bathe you with my tongue?”

“There’s a DopeFest in my pants and you’re invited . . . bring pie.”

“Wanna slug my sinorigno?”

“I feel like I got hit with a 1920’s Style Love Ray.”

“You make penis ensue.”

“Wanna see my post?”

“You’ve clearly been babed by the babist.”

“What say you and me prove JDT wrong?”
