I have heard from multiple people that eye contact is essential in letting a girl (or guy, I guess) know you’re interested.

But what is the 411 when it comes to said eye contact? Do you keep looking until she does? Do you then keep staring? Or is like looking at the sun? What’s the deal?

    She goes on to note that even when engaged in conversation with multiple people one should act as if their eyes are constantly glued to the woman, only briefly looking away when another person is speaking and behaving as if your eyes are irresistibly drawn back to the woman of interest.

    Honestly, as a woman, if a man started doing this to me in a group I’d be freaked the fuck out

      Yep. As if women would never perceive men as a threat based on the same signals men would use to perceive threat.

      Men, logical and hunter warrior manly men. Women, attention seekers. Therefore, stare down pretty women to show manly manness.

      Alpha bro evo psych is so wild.

        Yeah but due to conditioning from many generations of patriarchy, the man being perceived as a threat might actually help his chances. A disproportionately high ratio of women seem to enjoy threatening sexual partners.

        If getting laid is the only goal, the male has more to fear from not trying than fear of rejection. That and pepper spray.
