FEMALE ATTRACTION GESTURES

Anne Greene here:

In two weeks I'll share Male Attraction Gestures. But this week I'm concentrating on the female.

The Head Toss and Hair Flick:

This is usually the first display a woman uses when she meets a man she’s attracted to. The head is flicked back to toss the hair over the shoulder or away from the face. Even a woman with short hair will flick her hair.  

Pouting Mouth Slightly Open - Marilyn Monroe perfected this look. Lip gloss enhances it. 

Touching - A woman will touch her neck or throat when she’s attracted to a man.  

A Limp Wrist – This is attractive to men because it speaks of submission. 

Exposed Wrists – A woman will show her palms and expose her wrists when she’s attracted to a man. Men consider a woman’s wrists erotic. 

Sideways Glance – A sideways glance over a raised shoulder especially with lowered eyelids beguiles men. Also the sideways glance with the down-tilted head is a come-on gesture. 

Rolling Hips – When a woman walks away from a man and rolls her hips she’s using a centuries’ old courting gesture. 

Most men are afraid to touch a woman’s purse. But if a woman finds a man attractive, she will often caress the handle of her handbag. Placing her purse close to a man is a sign of acceptance. 

Studies show that women and men prefer mates that are pretty much as attractive as they are. Most people are skeptical about beautiful people. They prefer a partner of equal attractiveness to themselves.

These are all interesting facts. A writer is challenged to convert these facts to paper and use them on their characters. Good luck in your writing.

 

Some of these gestures are unconscious and some are probably deliberate. Which do you think are deliberate? Do you have any favorite gestures you use in your writing that you would like to share with us?
