from a woman's credibility and others will fail to take her seri-

- Fondling a Cylindrical Object
Fondling cigarettes, a finger, the stem of a
wine glass, a dangling earring or any

be a mental representation of having sex.
When a woman does these things, a man is
likely to symbolically try to possess her by
fondling her cigarette lighter, car keys or
any personal item she has nearby.

- Exposed Wrists
An interested woman will gradually expose the smooth, soft
underside skin of her wrists to the potential male partner and
will increase the rate she flashes her wrists as her interest
grows. The wrist area has long been considered one of the
highly erotic areas of the female body because it is one of the

usually made visible to the man while
she's speaking. Women who smoke ciga-

simple to do while smoking by simply
holding the palm up beside the shoulder.
The Exposed Wrist and head toss ges-
tures are often mimicked by homosexual
males who want to take on a feminine
appearance.
Exposing the soft
under side of the
wrists is a powerful
attraction signal
