I worked in an office where one woman who got her work done by going from one
man's office to another, smiling sweetly, leaning over the his shoulder, and
purring ``oooh, your so smart!'' She almost fell out of her chair when I
said ``****, I don't play that game''.  There was a guy down the hall who
responded very well, though ... He saw a lot of her.  Just as well.  I
didn't find her attractive.  He did. :-)

It seems women are trained to communicate attraction, interest, etc. in certain
ways.  They respect men who respond to these cues.  are Very attractive women
will have found men reacting to them; they may have trained themselves for the
role in their adolescent fantasies and concerns.

Men who are ``jerks'' are usually good at responding with appropriate cues to
the unconcious/automatic training these women have undergone/subjected
themselves to.  Hey, it gets them the girls.  Other men are ``too smart'' to
react automatically, especially when the reaction goes against common sense.
 Y'know, being obnoxious, acting vicious to others around your girlfriend ...

Hmm.  Could be. On the other hand, facial hair is a secondary sexual
characteristic.  Could it be that women naturally respond to it?
