Girls, Women touch their hair when they look at me, is this a good sign?

[Anonymous]

I dont know why, but ever since I moved out of my old place due to moisture, women have been stroking their hair when they look at me; this used to only happen the day my hair was washed; at my old place the moisture meant it went horrible overnight - this isn't the case at my new place. But then I'm left with the question...

Why do women touch their hair now when they see me? ... on the train, behind the counter, at work, in the street. Does it mean they like how I look, and if so, how am I meant to respond? Or should I respond at all? (So far I haven't).

Supposedly I look like this character from Gundam. "Riddhe"

I dont have much experience with women. Especially with how things have gone; the only date I've been on (or rather, was invited on) was with a crazed Canadian woman [the full stereotype], and The One I was infatuated with lead me on - only to gently let me down when I caught feelings... first breakup I guess? But at least I now know my type. She was perfect ;(

Is the hair stroking/twirling flirting? And what over gestures should I look out for?

They think you look nice and touch their hair out of instinct

They like you and are giving you a sign

Those who know me have said that my face has changed in the last year; because I have high cheekbones I always looked boyish due to my rounded cheeks, but now they've thinned and pronounced the cheekbones. Perhaps a combination of this, my hair, and my recent effort to go out (I used to stay home on PC) has caused this confusing increase in attention; and Im not meaning just the hair thing, its peeping, lingering, commenting, etc. Its really weird; I used to obsess over my blemishes and despair.

Okay, so I'm fairly confident that the hair touching thing alone is simply an instinct some women (and feminine men?) do when they see hair they like. Since I have natural light blonde hair I can understand why people look at it, but not why they'd touch their own in response to this.

Hair touching + perfume use + sitting directly beside/opposite might be something different, but I don't have the confidence to start and hold a convo with an unknown stranger and risk being hurt.

Who knows?
I do it to have something to do with my hands, or when I don’t even realise. Or maybe I just want to feel the curls in my hair?
I can’t say I’ve ever touched my hair while looking at a man or to attract one.

Usually yes, but other girls play with their hair when I look at them too. I don't think they are all lesbians but when they feel someones look at them they subconsciously try to improve their look.

The thing is, Im not looking at them. They do it as I pass or sit near. I avoid looking at them but I can tell they're doing it with my peripheral vision.

For instance, one lady sat opposite me on the empty train and messed with her hair every time I opened by eyes after resting them - even though I didn't look at her. I found it rather odd.

They're only doing this Now though, and Often. Which is why I returned to GaG after a long hiatus to ask.

i never really touch my hair in public unless im really bored, so i'm not sure what it means..

I touch my hair all the time and it doesn't mean anything.

Why does everything have to be a sign?

It is just too weird.

[Asker]

Then why are a lot of you suddenly doing it? My assumption is option A, its "preening" and not necessarily a conscious act (?).

Im confused because I'm noticing it happening a lot all of a sudden.

We often do it as an unconscious sign.
