All mankind, all women, and all men, employ some basic preening gestures, like touching their hair, adjusting their clothing, placing their hands on their hips, pointing their body towards the male, extending an intimate gaze, having increased eye contact etc. All these signals tend to say that the woman is up for some kind of non-physical relationship or maybe just a conversation. But there are some exceptions yo this: for example, some people pull their hair, which could indicate previous child abuse, or physical abuse, because it is a sign of nerves.
In addition to this, women may show their need for attention by widening their pupils and flushing their cheeks. Some other female signs for a relationship could be sideways glances, or looking into the mirror often, 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 just balanced on her toe then it shows a higher level of comfort in his presence.
Some of the 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 various advertisements, by movie 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 signal, it indicates that he may be gay.
Wet Lips Gesture: Many women moisten their lips or put on a lot of lipstick to give them a wet look. This clearly gives a sexual invitation. Most prostitutes use this gesture to attract males or other clients. Still, this does not always mean a sexual invitation, since some females merely like to keep up their looks or else dress for work.
Head Toss: You can see this signal resorted to by almost every woman. In this gesture, a woman flicks her head to throw her hair back over the shoulders or away from her face. Even women with short hair use this gesture in front of men. It is an obvious demonstration of their interest in that man for some kind of relationship.
Legs: Sexually aggressive women can be often observed with their legs more open than their more conservative counterparts. This kind of signal can be observed even in the presence of a male.
Along with the above-described gesture, there are other gestures that women make with their legs. The most prominent one being the gesture of leg crossing. One leg is tucked up under the other and the knee points towards the person with whom she is sitting: it indicates her interest in that person. 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 her relaxed state, is the way she plays with her footwear. Often a woman keeps playing with it by pushing her foot in and out of it. Often women cross their legs in such a way that they are not too far apart but still enough to attract a man’s interest.
Although these are the most common gestures of most women, still none of them should be taken for guaranteed and you must apply some common sense and logic before approaching a female for any kind of relationship based on the observation of the above-mentioned gestures of women’s body language gestures.
