Online, her imagination makes all the difference: Guy 1: Comment + Friendly face + innocent eyes Guy 2: Comment + Playful smile + wink Guy 3: Comment + Manly chin + gorgeous eyes + 6-packs abs + perfect ass (since she can't even remember his face anymore & his profile pic is the latest jet fighter plane) Oh and btw, here's how her comment was read (and seen) by those guys: Guy 1: Her comment + Shy smile + head tilted downward + eyes looking up + fiddling her hair Guy 2: Her comment + Seductive smile + looking over her shoulder + her long hair partially covering her back revealed in an open-back short black dress Guy 3: I'm sure she meant me! (After all why did she choose to reply right after my comment?). And to think all it took was for me to smile at her once in a cab, God I'm gorgeous... :) It’s creepy only when the girl can actually see their facial expressions (and doesn’t find them attractive)…

Although both are driven by the same sentiments (outspoken, not-too-hidden lust), the second is more accepted socially because the woman is shielded from the potential physical manifestation of that lust.
