Okay... now how many of you actually came in here because that's cute? How many?
Well, not really. I just wanted to see what it was about.
1: Is it -really- that attractive/alluring to have a woman bat her lashes at you?
I didn't think lasses did that anymore...
1a: if so... why?
Well, it seems a little old-fashioned.
2:What flirting "techniques" actually work, and how effectively?
a: Flipping/showcasing of hair
On a guy - unnerving. Very unnerving.
b: Winking
The lad has got me there.
c: Blowing kisses
Not right.
d: Small, subtle touches or brushes on the arm/hand/etc
Actually, that would make me very defensive. Not a good start, in other words.
e: Smiling
Very good.
f: Giggling/Laughing
Good move to laughs at my jokes, yes.
g: Swaying of hips
Again... unnerving.
h: Dropping of hanky or paper or books or whatever
Probably a puzzled look before I walk off.
i: Wiggle a beckoning finger (I'm running out of ideas, okay?)
Sorta scary coming from a guy.
j: Blushing
Cute. Very cute, methinks.
k: Revealing clothing
Ew!
l: "Ignoring" you, except a few brief glances
Damn annoying. Forget it lads.
3: Does any of the above bug you when males do it?
Yes. Defensive actions or doing things stereotypically female.
4: Can't think of any other questions... except... Okay, what flirting techniques work on you?
Nice words, grins and winks, being a genuinely nice person.
Bonus for any females who've wandered in: What techniques do you find effective or not?
As above. Charm me and I'm yours. One wrong move and you're as good as dead, though.
