Like men, women also use basic preening gestures, like fingering their hair, adjusting their clothing, putting hands on hips, pointing their body towards the male, extending an intimate gaze, having increased eye contact etc. All these signs indicate that the woman is ready for some kind of non-physical relationship or just a conversation. But there are some exceptions. For example, some people pull their hair, which could indicate child abuse, or physical abuse, since it is a nervous gesture.
Furthermore, women may demonstrate their need for attention by dilating their pupils and reddening their cheeks. Some other female signs for a relationship could be sideways glances, or looking into the mirror frequently, crossing and uncrossing their legs in front of a man, caressing their thighs or calf or knee. Another commonly seen gesture is the position of their footwear. If a woman is sitting with a man and her footwear is delicately balanced on her toe then it shows a higher level of comfort in his presence.
Other common gestures are:
Hip Rolling: This is one of the most commonly observable gestures in commercials. It has been used by models to gain attention on the catwalk and in many advertisements, by film stars and even by prostitutes to attract clients. This act is supposedly done by a female to draw attention to her pelvis. If a man acts out such a gesture, it indicates that he may be homosexual.
Wet Lips Gesture: Some females wet their lips or put on a lot of lipstick to give them a wet look. This clearly gives a sexual invitation. Many working girls use this gesture to attract males or other clients. However, this does not always represent a sexual invitation, since some females merely like to keep up their appearance or just dress for work.
Head Toss: You can see this signal used by almost every woman. In this gesture, a woman flicks her head to throw her hair back over the shoulders or away from the face. Even women with short hair use this signal in front of men. It is an obvious show of their interest in that man for a kind of relationship.
Legs: Sexually aggressive women can be often observed with their legs more apart than their more conservative counterparts. This kind of gesture can be observed even in the presence of a man.
Along with the afore-described gesture, there are other gestures that women make with their legs. The most obvious one being the gesture of leg crossing: one leg is tucked up under the other one and the knee points towards the person with whom she is sitting: it shows her interest in that man. In this position, the woman may expose her thighs to steal the attention of the guy whom she finds interesting. The more desirous may intentionally uncover her thighs to give an obvious signal.
Another position, which indicates a relaxed state, is the way she plays with her footwear. Often a woman keeps playing with her shoe by thrusting her foot in and out of it. Sometimes women cross their legs in such a way that they are not too far apart but enough to attract a man’s attention.
Although these are the most common gestures of most women, still none of them should be taken as guaranteed and you should apply some common sense and logic before approaching a female for any kind of relationship based on the observation of the above-described gestures of female body language.
