IWalkAlone Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I've read that when a woman twirls her hair while listening to you it is a nonverbal sign she is romantically interested in you. How true is this?
EC Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 POLYWOG LMAO :lmao: I twirl my hair all day everyday. It doesn't mean anything to me. Its just a force of habit.
Mythical Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Well, it depends upon where the hair is located. lol good one Im not too sure if it really means anything all the time I guess she just could be nervous...I do it when I bored. There must be some other way to tell if she's interested in you?
Porn_Guy Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 well IWA...being an extremely attractive fellow myself I can tell you that when womens play with their hair while looking at you it means they are attracted but not necessarily interested.
polywog Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 well IWA...being an extremely attractive fellow myself I can tell you that when womens play with their hair while looking at you it means they are attracted but not necessarily interested. Which hair are you talking about?
Trialbyfire Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Well, it depends upon where the hair is located. :lmao: This should be added to LS's top 10. For some reason I found myself twirling my hair while posting on LS. I'm not sure what this means...
justagirlforever Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Well, it depends upon where the hair is located. Poly ! :lmao: Nope - I often twirl my hair. It's just something to do - part of a thought process.
Porn_Guy Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Nope - I often twirl my hair. It's just something to do - part of a thought process. you do it a lot more when youre talking with a cute guy JAGF...you just don't realize it.
serial muse Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Means nothing, I'm afraid. I've been twirling my hair since infancy - there's a pic of me at 2 yrs with both hands up twirling what little hair I had while looking at a picture book. Seriously, I do it a lot while reading, watching TV, talking to people, thinking...it isn't linked to cute guys in any way. The only thing I do notice is that if I haven't slept, I do it more often, possibly to keep myself awake. So if it does mean anything, it's probably not very flattering. But seriously - I've been twirling my hair since forever and it's never been about guys. (Nope, not even you, PG).

serial muse Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Did I miss something in that study from 1985? I didn't see anything about hair twirling in there...the author talked about a hair flip and other "preening" behavior, which is a totally different thing. I've smoothed my hair and so forth in a come-hither way. Actual twirling, though, usually means I'm off in my own little world and kind of want to stay there for the time being. Maybe we're talking about two different things?
My Fair Katie Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Sorry, she's bored or in her own world. I'm a compulsive twirler but when someone is holding my interest I tend to make eye contact and keep my fingers out of my hair.
laRubiaBonita Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 i agree that is does not really mean anything. i am sure it could mean interest.... but i am hair fidgeter too, but for me it is a calming habit from when i was little.
Trialbyfire Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I'll bet that the majority of people who hair-twirl as an adult, picked up the habit as children. I know I did. I'm also the type of person who never sits completely still. When I'm in a meeting, I will doodle while listening to someone else speaking.
Porn_Guy Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I'll bet that the majority of people who hair-twirl as an adult, picked up the habit as children. . I think IWA meant playing with the hair in any form vs. just twirling the hair.
Trialbyfire Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I think IWA meant playing with the hair in any form vs. just twirling the hair. I don't think of any one form of preening as an indication of anything. It's a combination of body movements that indicate flirtation. For example, I have hair down to my hips. When I put my purse strap over my shoulder, I'm forced to flip my hair. Also, when I sit down, I have to pull my hair over one shoulder or it will get caught behind my back or I will sit on it. Neither one of these indicate that I'm flirting in any way.
Mythical Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 The sad part is both guys and girls give wrong impressions and i guess its just kinda normal. People tend to flirt and give the wrong impression to someone they could not even be attracted to they could just be entertaining themselve, wanting/striving attention, being nice just plain flirting!! .....who know's these days!....People in relationships flirt/ talk/ giggle etc and thier intentions arn't even there so who knows!!
Star Gazer Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I agree that it means nothing. I do it often, particularly when reading boring, yet informative, stuff online! haha
Jinxx Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Another hair twirler here. It means nothing. I just do it to do it.
LN99 Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I twirl my hair when I'm bored. Sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing it. I didn't realize I was doing it around someone I liked once, and when I looked up, it definately got his attention. But, I wouldn't directly link it with liking someone.
polywog Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 When a woman starts twirling the man's hair, then that's showing she's interested.
tragicglands Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 When a woman starts twirling the man's hair, then that's showing she's interested. :lmao:
fallendisguise Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I pretty much have to agree with everyone. It probably doesn't mean anything. I twirl my hair when I'm in deep thought about something.. or off in la-la land. I think you should be able to tell they're interested by the conversation your having... are they asking a lot of questions, wanting to get to know you better.. etc. At least that's what I do when I'm interested. I pretty much hang on every word and want to know more. If I'm attracted, I touch myself. And no, not in a perverted way.. lol. But like my collarbone. (I know it's weird.) I think it's something that is subconscious (sp?). You should be able to possibly tell by other body language clues.. but twirling hair, no.
LN99 Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Yeah look for other things....like eye contact. Does she make a lot of it? Does she do that and look down and then back up again? Does she smile a lot? Does she act nervous around you? Does she mirror(copy) you? (sometimes that indicates interest or at least being comfortable around you.) Does she bite or lick her lips. (I've noticed I've done this a few times around guys I've liked out of nervousness.) Do you catch her glancing at you when your not looking? Does she or has she ever complimented you? Definately look for other signs other then twirling her hair. As you can tell a lot of us women do this out of boredom or when we are deep in thought and usually are unaware we are even doing it.
