Okay... now how many of you actually came in here because that's cute? How many?
I did.
1: Is it -really- that attractive/alluring to have a woman bat her lashes at you?
It is indeed.
1a: if so... why?
Its very coy, and I like that.
2:What flirting "techniques" actually work, and how effectively?
a: Flipping/showcasing of hair
That works, but only if im actually paying attention to her face.
b: Winking
Not really, this can be misconstrued.
c: Blowing kisses
Not subtle, but yes it works.
d: Small, subtle touches or brushes on the arm/hand/etc
This one is really nice, purrrrr.
e: Smiling
This is good too, makes me want to smile back.
f: Giggling/Laughing
Depends on how she laughs.
g: Swaying of hips
Usually I don't pick up on this.
h: Dropping of hanky or paper or books or whatever
Well of course I offer to help, but I would probably construe that she did this on accident.
i: Wiggle a beckoning finger (I'm running out of ideas, okay?)
Egh, doesn't work
j: Blushing
Only if she has a fair complexion and its noticeable
k: Revealing clothing
Doesn't work, at least for me. Im a product of the dichotomous sexual nature of America, on one hand, I am a extremely liberated person and am frank enough about matters of sexuality and tolerant, but on the other hand, my socially conservative heritage, combined with a few stints at an Evangelical Baptist Church in my youth lends me to revile such women as sullied. It depends, I might find it attractive, but on the otherhand I might think the girl was a pernicious slut who I, or both at the same time, I don't know. You see how horribly America mangles the sexuality of its children? I blame those damn Puritans.
l: "Ignoring" you, except a few brief glances
Id feel put off by this. I think she didn't like me or was giving me funny looks.
3: Does any of the above bug you when females do it?
None in particular
4: Can't think of any other questions... except... Okay, what flirting techniques work on you?
Generally grabbing my grotch and kissing works, subtlety is usually wasted on me.
