Letter: Habit of flirting

Published 10 March 2001

From Amber Parks

You report a study of the sexual signals women send men even when they are
not interested in them
(17 February, p 16).

Wouldn’t it be necessary to study the interactions of women with other women?
I know I’ve flicked my hair and acknowledged conversation with a nod when
talking to women. Does that mean I’m sending out courtship signals to them?
