‘WOMEN RELY ON GESTURES SUCH AS EYE CONTACT OR A SMILE’

- Gittanjali Saxena, psychiatri­st

It’s difficult to spot womens’ first move. They rely on gestures such as frequent eye contacts, a smile, brushing their hair, hanging on to every word of the conversati­on and laughing more often while talking to a man. They would then wait for the man to make his move. Feminine moves are well covered, so it becomes difficult for men to identify them. It can be subtle like a simple compliment such as, ‘Hey, you have a nice shirt’, or ‘You have a nice smile’. But, in today’s world where women are walking hand-in-hand with men, the first moves from females could be compliment­s or other friendly gestures and nothing more. However, some women might initiate bold conversati­ons, which some men find attractive. At the same time it could be a turn off for some.
