Ladies, we need clearer signals...


Yes, but even when you're sent them, you don't always receive them! :o :P

Personally, I prefer a little merlot with my "nekkid."

Too much of game playing for me...if you like someone, just ask them out...if they say yes, then there you have it...if they say no, then you know they're not interested...seems simple to me... :)

That's the way I see it! I'll just add that a little, or a lot, of reciprocal flirting tends to put the pins in place, should there be pins to put in place! :usflag:

Excellence is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, skillful execution and the vision to see obstacles as opportunities.

Some women are just naturally flirty so they are harder to read. Typically however, when we are interested we might send little, subtle (or sometimes not so subtle signals). We may touch your arm, hand, leg, (or the bolder girls may just grab your butt) during the conversation. We may make eye contact, then shyly drop our gaze and blush. We may play with our hair. We may strike one some call a "sexually agressive pose"...ie...leaning back in our chair, leaning back with our elbows propped on the bar, hands on the hips, etc....you get the idea right? And most importantly we smile! Oh, and we laugh at your jokes even when they are absolutely lame!!!

I've got a great idea, ladies. Let's devise some underwater hand signals that can be used between SingleDivers to indicate our interest. That way things should be really clear when we dive together.

I think there is already a hand signal for a particular activity of interest (involving an index finger of one hand moving in and out of a circle formed from thumb and index finger). The no interest signal can involve a single middle finger pointed skyward with bent index and ring finger on either side. Both work equally well in and out of water.

I was thinking more of a specific U/W signal so only lady (and male for you) divers would understand... but then if they are underwater when you give the standard signal, I guess that means they are divers... or in serious need of rescue!

Besides, those signals indicate an interest... in a specific form of interaction between males and females. For the type of woman I'm interested in, it is not the first sign of "interest" I'd wish to give her! There are other forms of "intercourse" that should precede that specific one in a real relationship. Yes, I know... I'm so old fashioned.

I agree that my proposed signals are pretty to-the-point on a certain activity. So, you're wanting a fluff-the feathers shake-the-booty kind of "I'm interested in interacting but not ready to seal the deal until we know something is there" signal. Hey, you're a biologist and professed underwater pornographer. Wild animals have all kinds of signals they send when engaging in mating behaviour. Could something from your video files serve as a model for this new signal? You could even demonstrate the candidates for us in some video clips...

Well, many animals use coloration as an attraction mechanism .... and Dr. B does have this particular wetsuit ... (Bill, I think you know which one I'm talkin' about!).

Dunno 'bout you, but the way most underwater creatures go at it doesn't seem terribly romantic to me.... 'scuse me while I fertilize that pile of eggs you just dropped on the ocean floor. Sniffin' rear ends kinda puts me off, as well.

Heck, half of the 'friendly' gestures I make are misinterpreted as come-ons, and I get a nasty glare or worse when I'm just tryin' to be sociable.

Yes, I do... that one sure got a lot of attention, but not the type I was hoping for. Actually I've already gone through another wetsuit after I "retired" that one (at least for winter use). I've got a "brand new" one now. Unfortunately it is "padded" in all the wrong places!
