&gt; If a female is attracted to the guy, things he says or does are considered &quot;cute&quot;, &quot;flirtatious&quot;, and&#x2F;or &quot;interesting&quot;.<p>&gt; If not, the same actions are often considered &quot;creepy&quot;, &quot;jerkish&quot;, and yes even &quot;sexist&quot;.<p>In my experience, the <i>exact</i> same thing is true with the sexes switched: behaviour which I find attractive in a woman I find attractive is awful in a woman I don&#x27;t find attractive.<p>I think this is probably a universal constant: we all appreciate it when someone we&#x27;d like to get closer to gets closer to us, and we all are at the very best neutral when someone we don&#x27;t wish to get closer to, moves closer in.<p>It&#x27;s not even sexual: who hasn&#x27;t experienced the phenomenon of the bore at a party who just. won&#x27;t. go. away?
