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?

    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.
