You gotta’ let us know if that works Chris. 
My wife has a good right-cross, so I’ll let somebody else do the honors.

The thing about all of these male flirtatious behaviors is that they are not targeted. They are a way for men to appear attractive. That is different than flirting, since I think flirting implies that you are showing interest in a particular person.

True. Also, I think there’s a fine line between flirting and hitting on someone. Walking up and bluntly saying, “You’re hot! Can I get your number?” isn’t exactly flirting either.

Wut? This even more confusing now. So what is the difference? And if that last line isn’t flirting then what is it?
A lawsuit

Hitting on someone is like going through the fast food drive-thru. Flirting is like cooking an elegant meal. And dating apps, from what I gather, is like finding half a hotdog on the sidewalk and eating it.

Important disclaimer when messaging your own wife; well-played.
This is all a hypothetical for me - nobody flirts with me at the gym, regardless of how loudly I scream at them to do so.

Ha! Dani and I met right before dating apps hit the scene, thank God.
[Old man voice] Back in my day, we had to walk up to a woman and SPEAK to her. And “wanna f*ck?” didn’t work too well. And if it did, she was pure trouble and would definitely slash your tires and give you the herps.

My only experience that I’m aware of (because I’m fairly dense on telling the difference between flirting and normal friendly interaction, and tend to always assume the latter) at the gym which might have been an attempt at flirting is when a guy walked up unprompted and began giving unsolicited advice on my deadlifts.
I knew my form wasn’t perfect, but also knew it wasn’t so terrible that I was in danger of injury and in need of immediate intervention to prevent it.
I’m not certain it was flirting, but if it was, it was a poor strategy.
On the flip side: I still remember the time a guy in a bar said “Hey, nice triceps” when I was walking past. Though I was dating my now-husband and not available at the time, I did genuinely appreciate the compliment.

Being friendly: a no-strings attached compliment.
Being creepy: a compliment with an ulterior motive.
Being flirty: a compliment which could be either…
Being me: fucking it up every time

I have girls that could practically be my daughter flirt with me.
I attribute this to anyone with a seemingly moderate amount of wealth in my area of the US is sought after by females looking for an easy road. Because I am not a looker by any means

These little chicas will literally watch the parking lot to see what dudes drive up in.
I have had multiple mention my cars, wanting a “ride” etc.
Undeterred by my wedding ring and kids that are usually with me.
Usually what you drive up in and / or they ask around to find out your profession.

HA!! I think you must give out the “get away from me” vibes in the gym. My husband does too.
But I think for a lot of women (including most likely your wife), funny wins. It amplifies all the good attributes a guy has and makes women blind to their flaws.

OH STAHP!
What if they see you as someone who’s safe? They know you’re committed to your wife, they can tell you’re not creepy, so they feel comfortable chatting with you because you’re not going to make it weird or dangerous. Maybe?
