    Apparently if women do this you can assume they are flirting.
    Isn't that just bollocks, though, couldn't her hair be messy or her be nerous?

    If theyre looking at you, smiling etc, yeah thats probably flirting. I run my fingers thru my hair all the time tho, and Im really, really not.:p

    I play with my hair a good bit, but then again if im sitting talking to a nice guy i think i actually probable play with it more :rolleyes: :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 345 ✭✭eiretamicha


    I do it without thinking, it has nothing to do with flirting. Usually I do it if my hair feels funny/messy/not right/weird. I also sometimes do it when I'm nervous. :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 884 ✭✭✭NutJob


    Im a guy with hair and i do it.

    If theres something to it im a flirt:D

    Some people say this is but I heard a psychologist saying recently that it wasn't really true.

    I do it all the time, but it doesn't mean anything


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,989 ✭✭✭✭Giblet


    I think it's the licking of the lips and the "come-hither" eyes that do it.

    The licking of the eyes is another one. Watch out for that one. Then you know you're found a real tiger. Sorry, not tiger, lizard.

    I love when girls do the hair thing when they're sexy dancin -- it's just deadly! :D

    I do it without even noticing

    Running her fingers through her hair exposes the armpits which release pheromones. Apparently also if a girl points her feet straight at you whilst talking/looking at you it is a good sign as is exposing the wrists, brushing a piece of lint off your clothes or tilting her head whilst looking at you.

    i heard a psychologist saying recently that it was really true. So there!

    You can't deny science. It's true. FACT! I read it in a book too so it must be true.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,203 ✭✭✭Heyes


    Sure if its true or not, either way you ll find out quick enough :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,221 ✭✭✭abetarrush


    It means they want you to feel their boobs


    i swear! trust me, I'm an electrician


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,988 ✭✭✭constitutionus


    ive generally found it to be true. apparently its got something to do with the subconcious desire to touch you, which they cant (at first :D ) so they touch themselves. really though you have to put it in context with all the other signals, such as if theyre standing at an angle to you to emphasise their figures (cocking their head at an angle is a part of this) or crossing their legs towards you when sitting next to you while doing the whole moistening of the lips thing.
    though that said the clincher is physical contact. if a girls twirling the hair while taking every oppertunity to touch or brush off you your definently in there. women generally dont go near let alone touch guys regularly theyre not interested in ;)

    at least in my experience, and i havent been arrested yet! :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 364 ✭✭BrenC


    I tend to bite my bottom lip out of habit every so often, this is probably misconstrewed as flirting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭takola


    I do it purely by habit! I've been doing it since i was about 4! Nothing to do with flirting! :rolleyes:

    Are we talking about girls running their fingers through their pubic hair?

    I reckon girls running their hands through their hair is generally a self comforting habit. They do it if they're nervous.... it's a kind of defensive gesture, half putting their hands up to defend/comfort themselves.

    I get really nervous or anxious sometimes so I would subconsciously do it a lot of the time, I would also do as a neurotic thing towards my looks, and again I totally agree with what constitutionus said.
    So I guess if a girl is touching her hair its one of the above


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,702 ✭✭✭bounty_hunter


    Ditto to what most of the girls here have already said. I do it purely out of habit when I'm concentrating/pondering/tired. Usually it's winding my hair around my fingers, which has often landed me in awkward situations where people have misinterpreted it... I can assure you, it's really not flirting.

    Although I'm sure some people use it as a cunning technique, seeing as you lot all seem to fall for it :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 834 ✭✭✭FillSpectre


    If you ever want to see how woman or men flirt and haven't figured it out there is a simple way to learn. Go to a pub or night club stay sober and look around and watch. It is all on show.

    It isn't running finger through hair it is exagerating head movement often exagerated further with movement of the hair. People often miss the full information from such studies

    Now if she runs her fingers through your hair, then it could get very interesting.;)

    A woman in front of me did it as she was getting of the bus this morning. What a slut, giving the come on to everyone on the street....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 395 ✭✭Dermington


    I always regarded myself as being well able to read female body language but lately I so blatantly wrong about the signs a woman was giving off that I have now decided to poke out my eyes so I may never even think about body language again.


    AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!



    One down one to go...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,956 ✭✭✭layke


    I tried running my fingers through my missus hair once, she nearly beat me to death with my own shoes for touching the it.

    Lesson learned.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 331 ✭✭EWheelChair


    Maybe if they were running their fingers through their PUBIC hair, i'd consider it.

    But otherwise, no.

    It wasn't while chatting to a guy was it?

    Well why would you still be trying to flirt with a girl that was doing this. Should you not be busy doing *ahem* other things.
