Nowadays most people are aware of body language in day to day dealings with people.
Does anyone here consciously use certain body language when trying to attract the opposite,(or same), sex?

I refer to hair flicking for women or mirroring the other persons posture etc.

Nope, I'm clueless
And as I'm from the internet, I don't talk to real girls.

Very true
I ran into a corner and hyperventilated. I had to use my emergency paperbag.

i don't think it's conscious
but if i'm in a meeting with someone and i'm trying to get them to come across to a way of thinking my voice changes occasionally so that it sounds a little like theirs, e.g., if i'm talking to an ozzie my (frankly, crap) ozzie accent puts in an appearance.

( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 27 May 2009, 13:50, Reply)

I would if I knew how :-)
Used it negatively though - if I'm upset with someone and they're trying to talk to me, I'll shift position every time they mirror mine, either to make them a bit uncomfortable or to see how sympathetic they're feeling.

Not something I do very often though...don't like making people feel uncomfortable like that unless they've been _really_ bad.

Oddly
I find the best thing to do is to make sure your toes are pointing directly at the object of your lusty intentions; sounds a bit weird, but focuses your attention on them and sorts out your posture so they know you're really interested in them and only them.

And don't scratch your bollocks... (any more than is absolutely necessary).

( Theoban What of it, Wed 27 May 2009, 14:05, Reply)

Undo my shirt to the waist...
...to show chest hair and pendant. I walk towards my intended with groin thrusting forward so she can make out the bulge of my semi erection caused by knowing I am in the chase. Then I make firm eye contact, brush some hair from her eyes and lick my lips slowly and sensually with just a trace of a wry smile. I lick my finger and run it over my nipples having never broken my gaze from hers. I sigh in rapture of her beauty and the thought of what is to come.

It is usually about this time that the lollipop lady tells me to fuck off or she will call the police.

Usually I'll completely ignore the object of my intentions
because I have no idea what to say.

That didn't work out so well last time, in that I spent most of the first half of the night wrapped around my (male) (taken) (very gay) friend not paying any attention to him, because I didn't know how to greet him. Obviously "HI! I've not seen you since I jumped on you in a club after being rejected by a mate of yours over 6 months ago, and I mis-called you 37 times!" wouldn't have been the thing to do.

I'm not good with the boys.
