Friendly is Sexy

So, a recent study from Indiana University and Yale showed, in a nutshell and in a study of college-age men and women, that sending a sexy message with non-verbal clues can be as easy as just being friendly! Your signs of friendliness are likely to be read as signs of sexual interest.
Why? The article reads:

“Scientist have long known that young men are more likely than women to confuse friendly non-verbal cues with cues for sexual interest but the explanation for the gender difference has been less clear. The more popular of two competing theories attributes this to a tendency by young men to over-sexualize their social environment. The less popular theory — and the one supported by this new study — claims that women have an advantage when it comes to interpreting facial expressions and body language expressing a variety of emotions, thus are more likely to accurately ID cues for sexual interest. Young men are simply less literate when it comes to non-verbal cues.”

Ah, men. Always having to SPELL things out for them clearly…
