Hair preening/adjusting/playing etc.

[Anonymous]

Hey everyone!

A question - in one of the articles Chase mentions hair preening as a sign a girl might be into you, or trying to be noticed.

In looking for this behaviour though, I've found girls do it ALL THE TIME.

When they are flirting, trying to be noticed, when they are agitated, lost in thought, when they see a reflective surface .. Really it seems like hair preening only proves they are still alive and breathing.

How much predictive value does it really have?
Thanks for any thoughts!

It means more if they hold eye contact with you as they do it. Girls do "preen" a lot but what matters is that they intentionally show it to you. Also if they are making eye contact check if their pupils are dilating, that's a good sign.

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I meant more in terms of before you approach, as an IOI.

I haven't found it to have any predictive value.
