“Women really do lead men on for the first few minutes after
they meet – but without knowing it, says an Austrian scientist… Even when
women find the man unappealing, they do not send clear
rejection signals to begin with, the researchers found.
Women chat happily, send
sexually explicit signals
and encourage the man’s
attention, even if they
have absolutely no
interest in him. This gives
a woman time to assess a
man, says Grammer,
essential in human
courtship, since pairing off
is much riskier for the
female. The only time
women were negative at
all was when a man talked too much.” New Scientist
