Flirting Motivations and Gender Differences

Flirting serves various purposes and is influenced by individual motivations, which tend to differ by gender. For men, flirting is often driven by a desire for physical intimacy, while women may engage in flirting primarily for fun or to foster closeness. This divergence in motivation reflects broader social and relational dynamics, where men typically pursue more direct advances, while women may opt for more subtle interactions. Self-esteem plays a significant role as well, impacting how assertively either gender approaches flirting depending on the perceived risk of rejection.
