VinaAmez Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I do it when I'm bored and stressed. Gives me something to do.
polywog Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I'm a big ol' hair twirler myself, No need for a guy to be around to send a message to... All the hair. My long head hair is the most convenient (I stop occasionally to check for split ends), but I have been known to twirl the nether-region type hair into nice tidy ringlets as well. Only when it's convenient, of course. Not during meetings or anything like that. Well, maybe sometimes, while pretending to get something out of a pocket.
Porn_Guy Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 it has been made painfully apparent that many women aren't even aware of the non-verbal signals they give out when they meet someone they're attracted to. I've seen the signals many many times and they don't differ too much from woman to woman. Playing or touching their hair is one of the major give aways.
VinaAmez Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Not ALL women do that. I know I never sat there and twirled my hair at my SO.
LN99 Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I've caught myself twirling my hair around people I was attracted to....and I've done it in the middle of class while listening to a boring lecture where I was near falling asleep....or at home alone watching TV. VinaAmez is right... Not all women do it to indicate interest or around someone they are into. The only way that it could be a positive sign is if its accompanied with many of the other signs.
polywog Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 The only way that it could be a positive sign is if its accompanied with many of the other signs. Such as twirling the man's hair (head, chest, etc.), or reaching down into the skirt/pants to twirl her pubes, as I have pointed out earlier. Those are the signs the man should be alert for.
boshemia Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Hair twirling "could" be a sign that a girl is interested... but I think context is really the deciding factor. It's kind of funny that you mention this because my daughter and I were watching a girl at the swimming pool approach a lifeguard. The first thing we noticed was that she was twirling her hair as she walked towards him. My daughter pointed it out and said "Do you think she likes him." That's when I pointed out some other signs, she faced him directly while they were talking, and even leaned towards him a bit. She smiled a lot, she didn't really look directly at him, instead she peered up at him through her hair, head tilted. If he did look at her, she looked down and twir;ed her hair... She giggled a lot and was very playful. Based on ALL of that I'd say yes she was interested... The Guy never acted the least bit interested, He kept his body turned away from her, and leaned away. When he made eye contact it was more annoyed than anything. A quick look and then back to the pool. His answers were very short. The exchange could have meants nothing, we could be totally wrong about the whole thing, but based on ALL of the information I got the feeling she was really into him, and he just wanted her to go away. So hair twirling by itself, nah... watch for other signs that there is some interest before you decide...
TheSwordfish Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Three things I noticed girls often do when they talk to me (The ones that are interested) are: -Twirling her hair while looking into my eyes. -Playing with jewelry while looking at me(necklace) -Biting her nail, well, not actually biting it off, not sure how to call it, but something like it I do think it is a sign..... This is mostly with girls almost drooling over me though
Guest Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 it has been made painfully apparent that many women aren't even aware of the non-verbal signals they give out when they meet someone they're attracted to. I've seen the signals many many times and they don't differ too much from woman to woman. Playing or touching their hair is one of the major give aways. i think what's apparent is that it doesn't even matter what the gals say, the guys will believe whatever's more flattering to them anyway, because that's what they want to think!! i'm a hair-twirler too and i do it when i'm nervous. so yeah that could mean when i'm around an attractive guy but it could also mean i'm thinking about how to get away from some guy because i find him boring or annoying. or it could mean i'm just thinking about something else, like work i have to do or what to make for dinner. it's occam's razor the simplest solution...it's a nervous habit, folks, don't read too much into it. seriously, man up, you're acting like girls.
Porn_Guy Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 -Playing with jewelry while looking at me(necklace) yea thats a big one too... most women don't realize the universally transparent non-verbal cues they give off. probalby just a most men don't either.
Author IWalkAlone Posted March 30, 2007 Author Posted March 30, 2007 Yeah look for other things....like eye contact. Does she make a lot of it? Yes. Does she do that and look down and then back up again? Does she smile a lot? Not sure about looking down, but she does smile a lot. Does she act nervous around you? Does she mirror(copy) you? (sometimes that indicates interest or at least being comfortable around you.) Does she bite or lick her lips. (I've noticed I've done this a few times around guys I've liked out of nervousness.) Do you catch her glancing at you when your not looking? Not that I've noticed. Does she or has she ever complimented you? Yes. Definately look for other signs other then twirling her hair. As you can tell a lot of us women do this out of boredom or when we are deep in thought and usually are unaware we are even doing it. She works at the same company as me, but in different departments. When I'm talking got her she makes strong eye contact often twirls her hair with her right hand next to her ear. Most of our conversation is work-related, but when the topic turns personal, like if I ask her about one of the vacation photos she has on the wall of her cubicle, she answers enthusiastically with lots of detail. But since she works at the same comany, I have to be careful. Sexual harassment is defined not by what a man does, but how a woman reacts to it. So if she says "yes" to an invitaiton to a date, that's fine, but if she's not romantically interested in the guy, a invitation to a date can be called sexual harassment. So a guy needs to know the answer to the question before he decides to ask it.
monkey00 Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 hair twirling doesnt necessarily mean interest from a girl to a guy...well what about throwing their hair back, straightening the hair, or fixing their hair behind their ears in the presence of a guy - that should mean something. In other instances if a guy is standing next to a girl, and she does the above with a blank look on her face...well you never know she could be interested or just looking for attention.

I don't twirl hair. Instead I do the other stuff you mentioned and I'm aware of it.
LN99 Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Iwalkalone: Yeah that is tricky when it's a coworker. If you pursue it, you can be viewed positively or negatively. So definately be sure...or at least hint around to find out if she is single etc. There are ways to do this that are subtle. Hint around at what type of food you like......and ask for suggestions for places to eat etc. Maybe bring up movies and ask if she has seen any good ones? Hint around.. See what she says. These are ways to gauge her interest and give you an opportunity to do something outside of work. If you get positive signs from her, then suggest getting together as friendly coworkers. If she is interested, she will agree to it. If she isn't, then just drop it at that.
Pyro Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I have heard that it means nothing. I have heard that it means that she is bored and is doing it just for the sake of doing something and I also heard that its a sign that she is attracted or interested in the guy. Therefore no clear cut answer is possible. Each of us is going to believe what we want to believe what it means.

Pyro Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 How about beard tugging? Do you think it could mean a man is interested in me? It could be...... Ask him if you can tug on his beard. If he lets you, I think that is a strong sign that he is interested.
polywog Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 It could be...... Ask him if you can tug on his beard. If he lets you, I think that is a strong sign that he is interested. :lmao: But maybe I'd only want to tug it to see if it's a fake beard, a face-merkin! That's not a sign of interest, only idle curiosity! Maybe proof that he's not incognito!
monkey00 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I agree it is difficult. the only close way of gauging interest is by being attentive to other signs of interest. Some people are naturally friendly flirts
Trialbyfire Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Are there any guys who twirl their hair on LS?
Pyro Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Are there any guys who twirl their hair on LS? Nah, its too short for that. Wait, what hair are we talking about?
Trialbyfire Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Nah, its too short for that. Wait, what hair are we talking about? The hair on your head...yeah...that's it...yeah...head hair.
