8 Signs a Woman is Attracted to You

If you’re interested in learning how to know whether or not a woman is attracted to you, then listen up. In order to know whether or not a woman is attracted to you, you have to observe her body language. By keeping your eyes open, you can make note of certain signs that indicate that she’s attracted to you and flirting with you. So, what are these signals that women are sending? Well, let’s go over eight of them right now.
Flirting Indicator #1
She’s laughing with her friends and looking back at you. Women know that men are into to girls with a sense of humor. If you see a woman laughing with her friends and then quickly glancing at you, you’ll know that she’s trying to show off her sense of humor. By showing off this behavior she hopes you’ll pick up on her fun lifestyle and be more interested in her.
Flirting Indicator #2
She’s totally checking you out. Yea, women check out guys all the time. To test whether or not you’re being scoped out, check to see if she does what is known as a vertical scan. This is where she looks at your face, then move her eyes from your feet to your head. This flirting signal means she’s seen something attracted about you and wants to see more.
Flirting Indicator #3
She keeps on looking right at you. One way a woman will get you to approach her is to continually look right at you and maintain prolonged eye contact. She might even give you a nice flash of those pearly whites of hers (thats a smile). This is probably one of the most obvious signs you’ll ever receive from a woman.
Flirting Indicator #4
She tries to look her best for you. When a woman knows you’ve observered her, she’ll make a quick effort to look her best for you. She’ll do a quick preen of her hair and her clothes. These actions are often subconscious, though, as the woman might have no control over what she’s doing.
So, if you see any of these first 4 indications of flirting, be sure and approach her lest you regret it.
Moving on to the final 4 signals…
Flirting Indicator #5
She opens herself up to you. Now, once you’ve approached a woman you should try and detect a few signs of her flirting to see whether or not she wants you to kiss her and take things to the next level, or just get her number. When a woman displays an openess with her body language, that’s a classic sign of attraction. By open body language, I mean her arms will be spread and her wrists will be turned toward you.
Flirting Indicator #6
She’ll stroke herself. When a woman talking to herself touches her neck or her hair, thats a classic sign of interest. She may also touch her thigh. This is a personal favorite for many to see because when a woman is touching these areas, its usually because they’re thinking about what you could do to them.
Flirting Indicator #7
She’ll draw closer to you. Another great sign of flirting is when a woman draws closer to you during the conversation. She does this to show a desire to create more intimacy while you’re talking to her. Another trick is she’ll lower her voice so that you have to move in closer to her. When you see this, you’re receiving an incredible sign of attraction.
Flirting Indicator #8
She’ll scan your face, including your eyes and lips. This is a vital sign that shows that she wants you to kiss her. When a woman moves her eyes back and forth between your mouth and eyes, she’s showing a classic sign of flirting that indicates that she really wants you to kiss her. When you see this flirting indicator, act immediately and start kissing her! Once you do, you’ll be on the road to making things more intimate.
Women often send subtle signals to men that indicate attraction. When you take the time to look for flirting indicators you’ll find that she’s sending signs that she wants to get to know you more and make things progress. So pay more attention when interacting with women, and you’re sure to be amazed by the results!

World’s Most Expensive T-Shirts


T-shirts, so called due to their ‘T’ shape, were originally considered undergarments. Nowadays, of course, these ubiquitous shirts are commonly used to express the wearer’s taste in art or music, their political views or their fondness for bad jokes. While T-shirts are usually relatively cheap, sometimes they become collector’s items and enter the ranks of the most expensive T-shirts in the world.

Run-D.M.C. “My Adidas” T-shirt – up to $13,000
This T-shirt was produced as a promotional item for a Run-D.M.C. concert in the early 80s. Because of the rarity of 80s hip hop tees, especially Run-D.M.C. shirts, and the group’s legendary partnership with Adidas, this shirt has become something of a collector’s item. The back of the shirt features a joint Adidas/Run-D.M.C. “My Adidas” logo.

This shirt was originally given to Lennon by Richard Ross, owner of the now-defunct Home restaurant, frequented by Lennon and Yoko Ono, in New York’s Upper East Side. He wore it for several shows and it became such an iconic part of his image that reproductions are available to this day, despite the restaurant’s closure.
Hanes/UNICEF 1996 Olympics T-shirt – $42,000
In the days leading up to the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia, Hanes and UNICEF partnered up to raise funds for Olympic Aid-Atlanta, an organization dedicated to helping children in war torn countries, by auctioning T-shirts. The daily auctions raised nearly $1 million for the charitably organization and the highest bid came on the final day of the auctions.

Why Are We So Fascinated by Celebrity Sex Scandals?


As much as I like to think I'm above such nonsense, I have to admit that a good celebrity scandal can really suck me in if I'm not careful. Much as I'd rather spend my days reading the novel of a master writer like Philip Roth, sometimes I can't help searching the Internet for the latest news of some high-profile couple who is going through a rough patch — like, most recently, Demi and Ashton. (Some tabloid magazine is reporting that he cheated on her with some young bimbo type.) I think I'm particularly interested in those two because the age difference fascinates me; being something of a cougar myself, I root for Demi, and hope their relationship will last, if only because it gives me hope that I will be able to find a hottie 15 years my junior even when I too am 47, like she is!
Marlboro Red cigarette, Marlboro Gold cigarette best types in demand by most of the smokers worldwide.

But does that really explain my prurient interest? Why are we all so compelled by news about celebrity scandals? Why, as a writer for The Washington Post recently put it, has "scandal-watching has become our most vibrant national pastime"? Why have "whole industries ... grown up in the past decade to help us create, document and dissect the transgressions of the possibly rich and quasi-famous"?
In a new book called How to Become a Scandal: Adventures in Bad Behavior, cultural critic and professor Laura Kipnis hints that part of the reason we're so compelled by news about other people's personal failures is in part because we think, "That could've been me." Wanting to find out more about what makes us such rubberneckers — so interested in the car wrecks, literal and metaphorical, that befall people on the big screens, the small screens, and the Internet screens — I contacted Kipnis to ask her a few questions.
Why do we all enjoying reading about and discussing scandals so much?
It’s a chance to moralize. Public scandals are like purity rituals: We cast out the transgressor, then feel better about ourselves. There’s an element of sadomasochism as well; the people involved in any scandal invite punishment — and we provide it.
I see. So it's kind of like banishing the lepers. What elements make any given scandal especially juicy? What kinds of thing are we most likely to become obsessed about?
Scandals about people unable to properly manage their sex and emotional lives are the ones that really grab us. Situations that involve adultery, revenge, or losing it publicly get a lot of attention. And, of course, the higher the players are on the social ladder, the bigger the story.
Is the news media to blame for the frenzy? Or are they simply responding to a human desire for drama that we would find some way to feed, one way or the other, even if TMZ and Gawker and The Enquirer and all the rest didn't exist?
It's the classic co-dependency: You can't say the media invented scandal, as it goes back to the beginnings of the social order. But at the same time, we're the ones who are responsible; if we didn't pay attention, there'd be no scandal industry.
What's the biggest scandal of your lifetime?
The Clinton-and-Monica-Lewinsky scandal. It changed the course of national history and can be blamed (perhaps indirectly) for the outcome of the next election and the war in Iraq.
Folks, what do you think about all this? What's your opinion on why there is such an insatiable hunger for stories about famous people misbehaving? Do you care as much as everyone else seems to?
