Guys, are you more likely to buy something if the girl selling it is being flirtatious?
Superb Opinion
im not a guy, but i am actively writing a book about how a young girl gets groomed whilst being the face of a brand, and how that desensitizes everyone gradually as her ads begin to get more and more mature. Her and the elites she hangs with (the people abusing her and the guy who "saves her" and then hurts her more) all take this thing that has them age slow, so over the course of 50 years, her character of a little girl has aged 9 years, yet they treat the character like she's a full grown adult. It's a big commentary on the oversexualization of women and the idea of them being lesser than, and how it inevitably effects everyone - even the sweetest young boy and most stable young girl.
To sum up that yapfest, yes. not always consciously, but an item is more likely to sell if you can invoke strong positive - or occasionally negative - emotions in the consumer base.
We as women also exhibit this. Bisexuals exhibit this. Gay men and lesbians exhibit this. If you are receiving arousal/sexual validation or romantic validation you will inevitably be more trusting.

I think they will buy. There are some experiments about that in psychology.

It depends on what it is. A flirty woman selling beer, or food, or other relatively inconsequential things? Yes, that's very likely to work well. "Sex sells" exists as a concept for a reason.
If the item is much more expensive - a car, a boat, a house - then it's going to work much less well MOST of the time - but there are always going to be a few men follow their dick SO MUCH that this WOULD influence them. Most men, on a bigger transaction, are going to be more logical and rational and set aside whatever emotions they might have, in a way they wouldn't on something of significantly less value.

I'm quite immune to it. I've always been a bit of a penny-pincher and largely immune to sexy marketing. I'm also the only one in my friend group that never cared much for strip clubs or hostess bars and feel like a cheapskate in those since I never want to tip or do lap dances. I want the real deal, not the fantasy.
That said, if I was single and the girl was really flirty, I might not buy anything but ask her to hang out some time. This way I can test if she's genuinely interested in me or just trying to sell me something.

There's an old adage in advertising and marketing... Sex Sells!
-
Nope. The more I feel like someone is trying to manipulate me or hard sell me, the less likely I am to buy it and even if I was going to 100% buy it before I walked in I will negotiate much harder for a far cheaper deal than I would have just because of their attitude and will walk away without a purchase in the blink of an eye the more annoying they get in their effort.
-
Let me state it this way… even if it’s something I don’t need I’ll stop and listen if a flirtatious girl is selling it. Still may not buy it. But she’ll have a better chance.
-
On the contrary. Many have tried this and I refuse these flirty shenanigans. That's why in important business dealings I always request a man as my counterpart.
-
Honestly depends on what it is. Some things she won't change my mind on either way. Now if I'm on the fence I would probably be more likely too.
-
Nah, I’m more likely to buy if she can sell me on why it’s important and practical for me.. girls flirting don’t really part me from my money.. lol if a girl can’t get me to take her out on an expensive date, a woman that flirts in the store wouldn’t be able to do jack shit

nope... I would not trust that
I don't care how hot she is... I just need to my plumbing fixed right, lol - 514 opinions shared on Flirting topic.
When I was younger I would fall for it like an idiot.
-
Not really. I don't buy something unless I'm already looking for it.
-
Of course. If a girl is fit and flirtatious she could sell me a virus
-
Maybe when I was younger. I'm wise to that kind of shenanigans now. Maybe if I was right on the cusp of buying something it might tip me over the edge. But not if it's a major purchase.
-
Nope.. that's the oldest trick in the book, I don't know how some guys still fall for it lol..

Nope, but there is an art to selling and being overly friendly is part of it.
-
Not really. Its a different thing if im interested in the product. If im not interested at all in the product then i won't bother.
-
No. The second a sales lady flirts I shut down and walk out. Big time whore energy
- 305 opinions shared on Flirting topic.
Probably some idiots are but not men with self respect.
-
Not at all, I have a mental block against sales people in general even if it is a cute girl.
-
Isn't that the point of sales, is to make them want it
-
Yea probably I would… at least i’d show interest in buying
