Doing Their Job
If you have ever worked in sales, then you know that one of your main responsibilities is to interact with people. And about fifty percent of the time, those “people” happen to be men.
The next time you walk into a store and a female representative approaches you, though, keep that in mind. It is literally her job to talk to you, not fluff your ego while displaying samples.
“I am literally paid to make my store inviting and entice you to choose my business over another. And I don’t mind having a chat.”
\”But that doesn’t mean I am into you at all. I do genuinely care about what I’m talking to you about because I am generally into meeting new people, but my interest isn’t solely directed at you. Almost all my customers– male, female, young, old– get the same treatment.” –2k_0h_VI
Eye Contact
Looking into someone’s eyes when you speak to them is not a come-on; it’s common courtesy. If you went into a job interview, would you think the recruiter was flirting with you because they looked at you head-on? No!
Eye contact is a sign of engagement and respect. For some reason, though, women’s participation in the social cue is often seriously confused.
“I was taught to look someone straight in the eyes because it shows that you are confident.” –Distractioncitron
“Sometimes, I am just focused on the conversation.” –Cstarling4
