It would be weird if a human yelled out "Anyone wanna fuck?" but birds do it all day and nobody cares.

Partially joking yes, "respectful of consent" is as ambiguous as the flirting game, everyone's rules are different. Depends on how you define it, some will say even eye contact is borderline rape, some will say walking up to a woman with your cock out is totes cool(yes, I've met those women too).

With no clear rules for flirting conduct and confusing body language and messages, avoiding the entire game is the most reasonable. I've been with enough women to know that it isn't written in stone, more like a beach. Even avoiding the game can get you in trouble though, ignoring an advance can cause a ton of problems as well, lost a job that way, good time to be alive...
