Freewrite
This article is interesting because it raises a lot of questions to the self-conscious mind. How do we determine when we are flirting? Do I do it more than I think? Am I one of those people that just can't pull it off? In a way, I feel like I'm going to be more aware of my body language now, especially when I talk to males. The article is also a bit frightening in the respect that it reveals that women find men that flirt more as more attractive, purely on a biological level, and that that attraction isn't something that I can easily control. "Why We Flirt" implies that humans may rely more on instincts or reflexes than one may think, and that there are a lot of actions that people do every day that come purely from biological tendencies.
