Slate: Stalking Is the New Flirting.

From Slate: A photo series of flirting called "How You Doin'?" Sounds like it could be kind of fun, right?

Check it out here: http://todayspictures.slate.com/howyoudo/

Anything strike you as odd?

I can't be the only one who finds it odd that MOST of those pictures aren't even of flirting. That leaves me thinking that a) someone did a pretty poor job choosing the pictures, b) someone did a pretty poor job labeling the piece, or c) someone's idea of flirting is a room full of men staring at a model, or two men on the street gawking at the legs of a woman who doesn't even know that she's being watched.

See: This picture

It's really creepy to me that so many of these pictures aren't flirting at all, but rather men caught in the act of staring at women who are wearing somewhat revealing clothing.

Is that what passes for flirting at Slate? In America?
