To all the women out there:

- What "signals" should us of the male species look for when trying to work out if a girl's interested? We suck at this, as you've probably worked out already. lol. :p

- What do you percieve as signals from us?

- What should we NOT do if we're interested?

And here's one I doubt has ever been asked:

- Are you as bad at picking up signals as we are? I've always wondered this.

apparently when i'm interested in a guy i play with my hair and i touch them a lot (i mean like their arm, nothing rude!) and i try to make eye contact as often as i can

I can't really tell when a guy is giving 'signals'

if you're interested don't stare at her boobs or bum, look her in the eye

I'm awful at picking up signals

i'm awful at 'picking up signals' - i worked with this girl who apparently really fancied me for 2 years, and she did (i realise now) keep dropping hints and signals & things, but i just didn't realise at all :headbang:

I've heard that if someone looks at the bottom half of your face while talking to you it means they find you attractive (I think this works for either gender).

Uh-oh. I think I do that. Nice one!

i heard that if you're sat next to someone (like in the cinema or at a table) and their legs are angled towards you whether they're talking to you or not, that means they fancy you

hmm, i dunno. if i'm attracted to someone i'll look into their eyes. but thats probably because i believe all the beauty of the soul resides in the eyes (its a quote from somewhere, but its true...)
sometimes i get freaked out having made eye contact with some people, so i look at their mouth instead, attracted to them or not. i guess i'm an exception to that rule then

if you're an exception then so am i, I always look into someone's eyes if i fancy them

I only said that I'd heard it, not that it was any kind of rule.

Yeah, but you're consciously looking into their eyes...if you were just talking without looking deliberately into their eyes, you might focus on their lower face...

I really think that one works, at least for me.

i don't look into people's eyes deliberatley, its just what i do. the only concious part of it is when i suddenly get freaked out for no reason and decide to stop looking at eyes and go for the mouth

I make up stupid topics of conversation, just to talk to them

What "signals" should us of the male species look for when trying to work out if a girl's interested? Body language will be open, with feet, knees, and face pointed toward you during conversation. She'll make eye contact and smile/look interested in what you're saying. As far as dropping hints goes, language is irrelevant. It's all physical.(Though if you're really stupid, she might resort to such eloquent mating calls as, "Howsabout a root, luv?")What do you percieve as signals from us? An erection, which may or may not be accompanied by a musky smell.What should we NOT do if we're interested? As far as I'm concerned, don't be whining, needy, or pretentious. Don't start putting down other people to 'embiggen' yourself. Don't assume that buying me a drink entitles you to one free ride down, down, down to pussytown. Be straighforward, and if you think I'm dropping you hints, offer to demonstrate how much you LOVE cunnilingus. Are you as bad at picking up signals as we are? I've always wondered this. I'll say no, because the guys I usually get hints from are drunken, flannelette-swathed blokes with flecks of dried vomit around their mouths. Hardly subtle in their intentions, and so hardly difficult to misread.

- Are you as bad at picking up signals as we are? I've always wondered this.
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Especially if we are interested of the guy who's trying to give any signals.

I'm not the most proficient at picking up signals, either, in fact I could probably quite accurately say that I've never picked up any signals - hence the questions... I've been asked out once, but they had someone else do it for them. Why the hell does anybody do that? I turned it down because I decided I couldn't be certain if it was an actual offer.

The moral: ASK DIRECTLY!

Thats the worst idea ever.

"I think your pretty, do you like me?"

Ew get away creep.

Thats what would happen.

you've obviously been speaking to the wrong girls then

thats why i think its creepy going up to someone you don't know in a bar/club/whatever. i mean, the only possible thing you can go on as to whether you want go talk to them or not is their attractiveness. so just by going up to them you're saying "I think your pretty, do you like me?" which i would find creepy (if anyone ever did it to me).

thats especially true in clubs cos, with the music so loud you can't even get a decent conversation going. its crap :rolleyes:

hey PM, i think you're pretty, do you like me?

Which is the reason I don't go to nightclubs. That and I can't STAND "doof-doof" music.

*finds it creepy and runs for the hills :D *

but of course i like you http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/liebe/love-smiley-024.gif

well i go to rock/metal clubs but the problem's still the same :(

The signal from girls? Hair touching. Always hair touching.


apparently when i'm interested in a guy i play with my hair



Confirmed.

Interesting...

'el bumpo.

I hate bumping threads, but I feel this topic isn't discussed much on here. I also think it wouldn't hurt for us males to have a better chance to see this. ;)

To all the women out there:

- What "signals" should us of the male species look for when trying to work out if a girl's interested? We suck at this, as you've probably worked out already. lol. :p

- What do you percieve as signals from us?

- What should we NOT do if we're interested?

And here's one I doubt has ever been asked:

- Are you as bad at picking up signals as we are? I've always wondered this.

-If the female is on all fours and her nether regions are exposed, it means she is interested.

-My nation would be deleted if I posted the male signal

-If you are interested, do not walk away.

-No, I'm pretty good at spotting signals.

It has never been a mystery to me when the woman was truly interested.

And here's one I doubt has ever been asked:

-Well, I'm never very subtle... believe me, you'd know. ;) But most women have this "look".

-Um, staring at our boobs? Heh, kidding. Kinda. Once again, there's this "look".

-Go up and talk to us, make eye contact, and at least pretend to care about whatever we say. DO NOT, under any circumstances, look at our breasts, behinds, etc. DO NOT use sleazy pickup lines. Tell a stupid (but not obscene) joke. If we laugh, we're interested.

-I dunno, lie. Say you're "kinda seeing someone".

-I'm not really the observational type, but something about people in general fascinates me. I can watch people go about their lives for hours, and if you watch people long enough, the signals are easy to identify.

The best way to know if a person is interested is by looking into their eyes. You can't hide your feelings when looking at someone that you want to hold.

And if you're a girl, look a bit lower.
