Some women didn’t want to be flirted with, ever, even if you were dating them. Others would flirt with you while they were holding hands with their boyfriend — not because they were unfaithful, but because they liked the playfulness of it. Some would only date you if they knew you very well; others might go out with you if they barely knew you. The point: PEOPLE VARY. [Wait, where have we heard this before?] [...] [...] In my bachelor days, I came to the not-very-groundbreaking insight that different women liked to be approached different ways.

But very appropriate. Social media is being used in so many different ways that it's not practical to try and pin one interpretation down and call it the 'right' one. I've been thinking about this concept with blogs lately. That we aren't writing the definitive guides to anything. But, hopefully, encouraging readers to think critically about our content and discover their own answers. They are going to have to anyway, I'd much rather be part of the process that gets them there than be an obstacle of absolutism. http://originalcomment.blogspot.com/2008/02/blogger-are-not-writers.html That’s a clever twist on YMMV.
