"Why women flirt better than men?"

Women call it flirting. Men call it prolonged torture. As explosive as an outburst by the insanely popular and artistic fashion designer Boyet Fajardo (don’t you all know who he is!?) is the revelation that women — and not men — are initiators of the explosive “first move” in sexual matters. Psychologist Monica Moore of Webster University once spent 2,000 hours observing women’s flirting maneuvers at bars and parties and reported that women transmit visible body language signals two thirds of the time to get the opposite sex — the one with the protruding genitals — to flirt with them. (We have tried to contact Dr. Moore for the names of these flirting women, but she is still nursing a major hangover.)

Oftentimes, a man thinks he is making that perilous first move because he is the one who gets his pwet off the barstool, wobbles over to the woman, spews forth a highly flammable pickup line, then offers to buy her (depending on his level of kapal mukh-attitude) a drink, breakfast or jewelry. But, in reality, it was the woman who was subtly transmitting a series of subtle yet deceptive body and facial signals to gain the victim’s — este, the man’s — attention such as flicking her fair, rolling her hips or throwing her knife. During this time, nary a word need be exchanged between the flirter and the flirtee during the first move, except for maybe “That was just gas,” “Police!” or “Cash first.”
