Okay... now how many of you actually came in here because that's cute? How many?
I was curious.

1: Is it -really- that attractive/alluring to have a woman bat her lashes at you?
It can be... depends on the context. It can also be really funny (cliche).

1a: if so... why?
Meh... no idea.

2:What flirting "techniques" actually work, and how effectively?

a: Flipping/showcasing of hair
Not so much

b: Winking
Occasionally, but not overwhelmingly unless there's already interest

c: Blowing kisses
Yeah

d: Small, subtle touches or brushes on the arm/hand/etc
Effect varies according to the amount of attraction already there.

e: Smiling
Always attractive.

f: Giggling/Laughing
Depends - annoying laughs or hyper-psycho-non-stop-giggling are NOT gonna win a guy's heart. Too much definitely kills this one - so don't overuse it.

g: Swaying of hips
Gets attention.

h: Dropping of hanky or paper or books or whatever
Depends on the guy - he might not even know what you're up to with this one, if you play it right.

i: Wiggle a beckoning finger (I'm running out of ideas, okay?)
Nope. Feels too much like a leash - don't go there!

j: Blushing
VERY good.

k: Revealing clothing
Gets attention definitely, but once you've got the focus there, it may be hard to shift it elsewhere.

l: "Ignoring" you, except a few brief glances
Can be effective, although cruel.

3: Does any of the above bug you when females do it?
Already noted.

4: Can't think of any other questions... except... Okay, what flirting techniques work on you?
*grins, and keeps his mouth shut*

Bonus for any females who've wandered in: What techniques do you find effective or not?
