Courtship Displays and Attraction Signals
Women put perfume on the underside of the wrist believing
it has something to do with the wrist pulse distributing the
perfume. But its real purpose is to thrust the wrist forward
towards a potential partner. The perfume simply draws atten-
tion to the woman and lets the man see her under-wrists.
- Sideways Glance Over Raised Shoulder
The Raised Shoulder is self-mimicry of the rounded female
breasts. With partially drooped eyelids, the woman holds the
man's gaze just long enough for him to notice, then she quickly
looks away. This action produces the feeling of peeping in the
woman who does it and being peeped at by the man who
receives it.
Raising the shoulder highlights the femaleness
of roundness and curves
- Rolling Hips
For childbearing reasons, women have wider hips than men
and have a wider crotch gap between the legs. This means that
when a woman walks she has an accentuated roll which high-
lights her pelvic region. Men can't walk like this, so it becomes
a powerful sex difference signal. It also explains why few
women are good runners because their wider hips make their
legs splay out to the side when they run. Rolling of the hips is
one of the subtle female courtship gestures that has been used
for centuries in advertising to sell goods and services. Women
who see these advertisements have the desire to be like the
model depicted, which results in an increased awareness of the
product being promoted.
