Women give specific facial cues when they're flirting, according to researchers at the University of Kansas. The team used the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) to identify the most recognizable flirtatious facial expressions. The technology, which describes facial movements, showed the most effective flirting cues include a head turned to one side and tilted down slightly, a slight smile, and eyes turned forward toward the target. 'None of these studies have identified the flirting facial expression and tested its effects.' In the studies, women were asked either to spontaneously offer what they thought was a flirtatious expression or follow the researchers' instructions on what look to give.
