Flirting Body Language of Men

Fact File Entry: All men flirt! Whether they are good at it or not (in which case they need flirting tips), whether you can see it or not. Bottom line is that all of them flirt or attempt to flirt at the least.

Now that the basic fact is established, let us come down to why many women believe that some men (read "men they are interested in") don't flirt. Well, the answer is simple, they think that the men are not flirting, because they can't read the flirting signs. A sorry stage for women everywhere. Ladies, we are the perceptive ones! Lets get off the practicality horse and delve into our deeper understanding of all that is around us. I know, it is a tad bit difficult. Besides, who has the time to fathom the "deeper meaning" behind weird antics of men, right? Well, I am here to make your job a little bit easier with a few pointers about flirting body language of men. I'll give you the cheat code - the inference behind men's flirtatious actions and vice-versa of body language in flirting.

Ok! First things first. Trust me, men are much easier to understand than women. So, if your instinct tells you that he is flirting, then 90% chances are that he is. Now, there is a chance that he may not be flirting, after all instincts can go wrong a couple of times, right? In that case you can keep an eye out for these signs of flirting. So, lets get the ball rolling, shall we!

The first and most primary flirting body language men use is, probably the most simple one. Their interest is often very obvious on their face. A slight and fast raise of the eyebrows is a classic sign of interest. It is known as an "eyebrow flash". This flash is normally very fast and coupled with a smile. If the smile is on, then you definitely have his attention. At this point men will hold the woman's gaze for a little bit longer than normal. I hardly need to tell you that this is a great sign.

So, now that we are off to a good start, the flirting has begun. Coming to the next step in the flirting body language men use, he will get his machismo on. When interested or flirting with a woman (or other slightly feminine men, for that matter) they will get all "manly". They have been noticed, by several aware women, to have a specific stance. Their head will be slightly tilted to one side. Their legs will be apart (a little) and shoulders will be squared. The chest will be out, the gut in and hands on the side. Lastly, their feet will be pointed towards the woman. These are classic cues to understanding body language of flirting men.

Just like women, guys like to look their best as well. That is why, by default, when flirting, they will have a few preening actions. They will adjust their collars or sleeves a bit. Or they will smoothen their hair once in a while. However, they will show a few subtle signs of being very careful about their looks. Like they will straighten their shirt, or dust some dirt of their jeans. It is a very simple sign of interest when a man starts becoming conscious of his appearance around the woman. At this point, a simple pick up line for girls can be given a shot. It would really help him out.

In general, when a man makes attempts to make himself seem bigger, as in wide arm gestures and stretching, it means that he is flirting. He will also make sure that he is directly facing the woman. He will try to maintain physical contact with the woman.
