Nothing like public humiliation to take...er... the wind out of one's sails.

 

And I'm not terribly shocked, the only amusing thing is that they think they

have something worth seeing... just remind them that your cell doesn't have a

zoom function.

 

You know, I ducked out to villagio after posting here and couldn't help but

turn my Bluetooth on, alas... no lurid messages. Should I feel cheated?

The funny thing is that is was nothing any man should have been proud enough of to show other people. Quite the opposite....

Anyway one of the girls I was with, took my phone, went up to the DJ/musicy person, who shortly made an announcement along the lines of "Would 

the person with the phone named hotmark stop bluetoothing pictures of his 

penis to people..." 

followed by a remark about the size that I won't repeat here.

Its really funny if one could see the irony of it ... its natural for a guy to flirt with a female ...thats how nature has created us to be.. and I dont think any religious book advocates bi sexual or hetro sexual behaviour .. so why the fuss abt it if it is in a shopping mall in Mecca or Doha !!!

Jut, that is priceless. Just consider yourself lucky that he didn't deem to grace you with the real thing... it does happen, believe me. Though, why? I can't imagine. What you need to do is thank him for the laugh and go home, blissfully alone.

only once have I ever recieved a bluetooth message from a stranger, that was in a pub in the UK; someone decided to send me a picture of his penis :( being male I was quite disapointed that my first ever random bluetooth message from a stanger was not a gorgeous lady:( Needless to say I didn't go for it.

Really, the Lamborghinis? Surely not.

 

Are you serious about the Bluetooth though? I mean... they really do that? I don't keep mine on but I suppose it's incentive to keep up the practice.

That kind of things dont work here... its too conservative... everything is

hidden here. U dont have to worry about such things. Just avoid the ferraris,

lambourghini's and land cruisers and u will not have a problem with people 

who flirt. Oh and keep ur bluetooth off lol.

*changes her bluetooth name to "don't even bother"*

 

Wow, it's the subtle things that matter, right? Clearly I don't flirt enough. I once read you go grocery shopping with bananas at the top of your trolley if you were interested in being picked up... I wonder how this flirting thing works if only half the population understand it...

Bluetooth..is a communication method....just like infrared, later wireless, wi-fi and now wi-max....

 

Using this method one device can communicate with other device/devices. eg. sending pictures/songs/data from phone to PC and viceversa.

 

Most of the mobile phones  today have bluetooth but are switched off as a precaution to hacking. So before flirting  switch on the device

Yea well its easy, 

Hey my tooth is turning blue, wanna c it??? yea that was lame. But its easy

just say hi can i talk to u over the phone, cuz i have alot of money and i want

to use it on something, so spending it on u seems worthy..

Bluetooth was named after a late tenth century king, Harald Bluetooth, King of Denmark and Norway. He is known for his unification of previously warring tribes from Denmark (including now Swedish Scania, where the Bluetooth technology was invented), and Norway. Bluetooth likewise was intended to unify different technologies, such as personal computers and mobile phones.[24]

The name may have been inspired less by the historical Harald than the loose interpretation of him in The Long Ships by Frans Gunnar Bengtsson, a Swedish Viking-inspired novel.

The Bluetooth logo merges the Germanic runes analogous to the modern Latin letter H and B: (for Harald Bluetooth) (Hagall) and (Berkanan) merged together, forming a bind rune

I've done it myself back in the days lol, it used to be fun. Now just QL flirting...

like joey says " how u doin ??? " :P 

 

It's actually quite intresting. I mean if the girls dont like it then they should 

keep their bluetooth off. But In my case i used to get alot of no.s and 

responses.

Ever heard of blue tooth flirting?

 

Its when you see a hot girl and glances are exchanged yet you cannot speak to her directly due to danger from the muttawa you can open your blue tooth on your mobile & scan if she has it on.  Or standing close enough to see that you are switching your bluetooth device.

 

The thing is it only works with girls who are aware of "Bluetooth Flirting".
