If you thought the most ladylike flirts were young singles, think again. According to Haley Van Horn's article, unsatisfied married women are the ones who master the art of flirting better than anyone else, with impeccable elegance and strategy.
And no, it's not just about "finding someone else," but is often related to the need for attention, appreciation, or simply a dose of fun in a routine that no longer gives them excitement.
Here are 11 reasons why married women (and those tired of marriage) are the best flirts in town:
1. Flirt with style
Another look, a smile that lingers a little longer than usual, a "casual" touch. A married woman doesn't need many words, she flirts with her eyes, not with innuendo-filled Instagram statuses.
2. They read the environment like experts
They don't get into awkward situations. They know when, with whom, and how to flirt. They have a radar for the energies of the room and the people who matter.
3. They don't do it in vain, they have a reason
They usually seek what they don't get at home: attention, compliments, the feeling that they are still “wanted.” And yes, sometimes they just want to feel like they did in the beginning again.
4. They have experience and know what works
Humor is the secret weapon. They value a simple joke, know how to laugh at the right moment, and make you feel interesting (even when you probably aren't).
5. They don't panic over a simple flirtation.
They don't necessarily seek a new relationship, so they are more relaxed. They enjoy flirting as a stress-free sport.
6. They have self-confidence
Even when the relationship has left scars, they use flirting as a way to regain their self-esteem. They seem like women who know what they want, and that's sexy in itself.
7. They really listen.
Because maybe they're not being heard at home. They've learned to appreciate a good conversation and turn it into a moment where the other person feels seen and heard.
8. For them, it's a game. And it's fun.
There's no pressure. They have no expectations for a "second date" or to keep the flame alive. They just flirt, have a good time, and then they're gone.
9. They have depth
They don't flirt superficially. They know how to create emotional connections that are light but effective enough to make the other person think, "This is not like the others."
10. They have nothing to lose
When a relationship is at an end, flirting is no big deal. It either works as therapy, or as a “self-confidence exercise.” And if it doesn't work out? Another one.
11. They are mysterious.
And that's the most seductive part. Men are attracted to mysteries, and a woman who is "outside the usual boundaries" always has a kind of magnetism.
