Girls playing with their hair?

Postby Cognitive Gear » Thu Jun 15, 2006 1:29 pm

What does it mean when a girl plays with her hair when talking to a specific person? My friend seems to think it has some meaning behind it... but I'm not so sure. Does it generally have any meaning?

If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."

Ehh... it just seems to me to be a nervous habit. Like people bite their fingernails, or tap tables with their fingers, etc. If she is doing this it may mean 1 of 2 things:

1) she is bored
2) she is nervous for some reason
DO YOU FLY FOR FUN?!

According to The Learning Channel, it means she likes you... If that's the case, a number of girls I know like every guy and likely girl out there, because they twirl their hair all the time... I twirl my hair, too, actually... hahaha

I don't think it necissarily means anything... various nervous behavior can stem from an interaction with someone you are attracted to, but it can come from other things... The same can be said of physical signs, such as raised temperature, quickened heartbeat, sweat, etc... All of these things (and the ones I didn't mention) can have other reasons behind them than attraction.

If she only does it to you, or only to a couple guys, then you may want to consider something, but at the same time don't rush into it... She may be attracted to you very mildly, but if you pursue her at that point she'll no longer be attracted to you... It's retarded ("I'm attracted to you as long as you aren't attracted to me!") but it is true... So, don't go crazy if a girl you like is flipping her hair or whatever...

I'm actually mildly interested in about 3 girls right now, only one of them I trip over my tongue (it's not like she's the one I'm most interested in, I honestly dont' know why it's only her I do that to) Keep in mind even if she likes you, she may like 2 other guys too, and none of you enough to accept a person's pursuit...

You really can't derive too much significance from a single gesture. People who study these things say that they look for gesture "clusters", and that even then their conclusions are probabilistic, rather than definitive.

It's mainly a nervous gesture, iki.

I'd have to agree with the majority here. Hair-tosseling is mostly a subconscious action taken under a state of anxiety or supreme boredom similar to nail-tapping and foot-wiggling.
Personally, I do it when I'm content and lost in my thoughts. Usually when people disrupt this little habit of mine, I continue to play with my hair as I talk to them.
"So David said to Michal, "It was before the LORD, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the LORD. And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor."

2 Samuel 6: 21&22



"I am going to take this bucket of water and pour it on the flames of hell, and then I am going to use this torch to burn down the gates of paradise so that people will not love God for want of heaven or fear of hell, but because He is God."

The same reason why guys have a tendency to put their hands in their pockets when they talk,it doesn't mean anything just that they don't have anything else to do with their hands or are rather too nervous.

I play with my hair because it's a habit when I'm bored or thinking. It's really curly so it twists around my finger in a little ringlet thing and I can amuse myself with it XD;; Honestly, it's just a boredom thing...

Generalizations can be nasty buggers. Besides, I don't flip my hair because I like someone. I have an extremely ticklish neck, I preen as much as a cat sometimes, and I like the smooth texture when my ends are completely fried.

Heck, my friends make fun of me and call me a Pantene commercial.

Anywho, those little signs can vary sooo much. So tread with caution, usually means little to nothing anyway.

The best way to find out if a girl really likes you is still to ask her,but you have to be prepared to get shot down.

Well you can't tell by just looking,if you want to know how a girl feels you have to get the nerve up to talk to her.

Yeah it;s mainly habitual..most girls have been twirling they're hair since they were toddlers (myself namely) and I have a friend who twirls her hair all the time no matter who she's talking to. So don't get too excited when if you;re a guy and a girl twirls her hair around you. But then again, every girl is different.
