Male Courtship signals
-
The male displays preening behaviour as the female approaches. In
addition to the automatic physiological reactions already mentioned, he
will reach for his throat and straighten his tie. If he is not wearing a
tie, he may smooth his collar or brush imaginary dust from his shoulder
and rearrange cufflinks, shirt, coat and other clothing. He may also
preen himself by smoothing his hair.
-
The most aggressive sexual display he can make towards the female is
the aggressive thumbs-in-belt gesture that highlights his genital
region.
He may also turn his body towards her and point his foot at her.
Female Courtship signals
-
Women use most of the same basic preening gestures as men, including
touching the hair, smoothing the clothing, one or both hands on hips,
foot and body pointing
towards the male, extended intimate gaze and increasing eye contact.
They also adopt the thumbs-in-belt gesture which, although it is a male
aggression gesture, is used with feminine subtlety; only one thumb
tucked into a belt or protruding from a handbag or pocket is displayed.
