Awful....and this is supposed to be a woman's skill....


I DO believe this, if only because it makes me not so paranoid about being unattractive :

Signaling availability and interest trumps attractiveness.

Dr. Monica Moore, a psychologist at Webster University in St. Louis, has conducted research on the flirting techniques used in singles bars, shopping malls, and places young people go to meet each other. She concluded that it's not the most physically appealing people who get approached, but the ones who signal their availability and confidence through basic flirting techniques like eye contact and smiles. Just signaling your interest in someone gets you halfway there, whether you're a man or a woman.

Most of the time I don't even know if I'm being flirted with or not. Women are more subtle usually.

I think I could use some improvement for sure.

I'm pretty sure I'm not good at it.

The smile one was contradictory to the author's point of being like James Bond. Click on the link and within that article it tells guys not to smile, as that (supposedly) gives them an air of mystery.

I'm more direct when it comes to flirting.

Here are some tips on flirting.

Smile like you read something humorous, but it's not hysterical.

Look in someone's eyes for a few seconds and keep taking peeks. No staring like a stalker.

Move beside the person into their general area.

Touch your hair or flip it. The hair thing is generally for women, but I have seen some guys do it too.

Introduce yourself and don't use a cheesy line.

My wife says I'm very good at it, but she's far better!

Attractive men and women can smile away! Creepers smiling, just look more creepy.
