5 different types of eye contact ladies use on men and what they mean

Published

By

The human gaze holds immense power in communication, especially when it comes to attraction. Unlike carefully crafted words, eyes often reveal unspoken emotions and desires. Understanding the different ways women use eye contact can equip men to navigate the sometimes-confusing world of flirtation. However, it’s important to remember that eye contact is just one piece of the puzzle. Body language, facial expressions, and the overall context of the situation are crucial for a more accurate interpretation.

1. The playful glance: A fleeting look Followed by a smile – A subtle invitation

Imagine this: across a crowded room, you catch a woman’s eye. She holds your gaze for a brief moment, perhaps a second or two, then quickly looks away with a playful smile dancing on her lips. This “playful glance” is a subtle yet suggestive sign of initial interest. It suggests she’s noticed you and is open to further interaction.

Decoding the message:

The fleeting glance signifies she’s piqued by your presence. Perhaps it’s your confident demeanor, your kind smile, or your intriguing outfit that has captured her attention. The smile following the glance is a positive signal, suggesting she’s approachable and wouldn’t mind you initiating conversation. The brevity of the eye contact keeps things playful and avoids appearing overly forward.

Responding to the invitation:

Acknowledge her glance with a warm smile of your own. This shows you’ve noticed her interest and are open to further interaction. Briefly meet her gaze again, this time perhaps for a slightly longer duration, to gauge her reaction. If she smiles again and maintains eye contact, it might be the perfect time to approach her and strike up a conversation. Remember, good posture and an open stance coupled with avoiding fidgeting or looking away too quickly will project confidence and approachability…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

2. The averted gaze: Discomfort or disinterest?

Not all eye contact carries a positive message. If a woman consistently avoids your gaze, it might indicate a lack of interest or discomfort. Here are some signs to watch out for:

Looking away quickly: When you make eye contact, she looks away immediately, perhaps focusing on something else or directing her attention elsewhere.

Downward glances: She frequently looks down at her phone, the ground, or her drink, avoiding your gaze altogether.

Lack of reciprocity: You try to make eye contact, but she doesn’t meet your gaze or looks away quickly.

Understanding the disinterest:

The consistent avoidance of eye contact suggests she’s not interested in pursuing a conversation with you. Alternatively, she might be shy, uncomfortable with your attention, or simply not in the mood for interaction.

Respecting boundaries:

Don’t be forceful. If she’s consistently avoiding eye contact, it’s best to respect her space and move on. Consider the context. Is she engrossed in conversation with someone else? Is she visibly uncomfortable? Maintain a friendly demeanor, but don’t be overly persistent.

3. The engaged gaze: A window to connection READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Sometimes, a woman’s gaze can feel like a window to her soul. This type of eye contact is characterized by a sustained, warm look that lingers for a few seconds or longer. It often comes with a genuine smile, tilted head, or slightly raised eyebrows.

Decoding the message:

A prolonged and steady gaze signifies genuine interest and potential attraction. She’s fully present in the moment and engaged in what you’re saying or doing. This type of eye contact fosters a sense of intimacy and connection.

Responding to the connection:

Hold her gaze briefly, then look away for a beat and return your gaze. This shows you’re confident and reciprocate her interest. Respond to her gaze with a genuine smile and continue the conversation with confidence. Mirror her open posture and lean in slightly to show you’re engaged.

4. The intense gaze: Confidence, playfulness, or something else?

Intense eye contact is a powerful tool that can convey a range of emotions. It’s characterized by a direct and unwavering gaze that can last for several seconds, often accompanied by furrowed brows or a slightly lowered head. When a woman uses this type of eye contact, it’s crucial to decipher the message behind it.

Understanding the intensity:

If she’s smiling or leaning in slightly, it could indicate strong attraction and a desire for a deeper connection. In this case, a confident smile, returning her gaze, and mirroring her body language can be a great way to reciprocate her interest. However, if her expression is more serious or intense, it might signal something else entirely. Perhaps she’s trying to gauge your confidence, challenge you in a playful way, or even express annoyance. Here, reading her overall demeanor and the situation is key. If unsure, it’s best to err on the side of caution. Maintain eye contact for a beat or two, then look away briefly before returning your gaze. This shows you’re not intimidated but also respectful of her potential assertiveness.

5. The deep gaze: Unveiling intimacy

Deep, intimate eye contact is a powerful nonverbal cue that signifies a strong emotional connection. It’s characterized by a prolonged gaze that feels almost hypnotic, often accompanied by dilated pupils and a slight head tilt. This type of eye contact usually occurs during close conversation or moments of shared intimacy.

Decoding the intimacy:

This is a clear sign of deep interest and a desire for emotional connection. Maintaining such eye contact requires a level of vulnerability, suggesting she feels comfortable and safe with you. This type of eye contact fosters a sense of intimacy and emotional closeness.

Responding to the intimacy:

If you’re interested in her, meet her gaze and allow yourself to connect on that deeper level. The intensity of this eye contact can be overwhelming for some. If you feel uncomfortable, briefly look away, but return your gaze to show your interest remains. Complement the eye contact with gentle touches, a soft smile, or leaning in slightly to reciprocate the intimacy.

The final glance: A journey beyond words

Eye contact is a powerful tool for communication, but it’s just one piece of the puzzle. By paying attention to a woman’s overall body language, facial expressions, and the context of the situation, you’ll gain a more complete understanding of her intentions. With practice and a healthy dose of self-awareness, you’ll be well on your way to deciphering the language of her eyes and navigating the exciting world of flirtation. Remember, confidence, respect, and genuine interest are always attractive qualities, regardless of the specific message her eyes may be sending.

Published

I walked into an eatery one afternoon to order takeout. While I waited for my food I kept busy with my phone. A man walked up to me with determination on his face. He smiled and said “Hello my name is Victor. I have been trying to get your attention from my table over there (he points to a far-off table).

1999 Toronto Saga: How Former Speaker, Salisu Buhari, Declared False Age and Forged University Certificate

Published

on

By

On the 3rd of June, 1999, Salisu Buhari, a 29-year-old Nigerian businessman who made his fortune dealing in computers, was elected as the speaker of the House of Representatives in Nigeria, a position which constitutionally made him the fourth most important person in Nigeria.

Unknowing to his colleagues, the government and the whole of Nigeria, Salisu Buhari was not qualified for the office he occupied. Few weeks after he was elected, findings revealed that Salisu Buhari, the sixth Speaker of the House of Rep. forged his way to power…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

The News Magazine released an article on the 19th of July, 1999 claiming that Salisu Buhari is seven years younger than the 36 years he claimed to be and that he didn’t attend the University of Toronto in Canada not to talk of graduating from the institution. The News Magazine had more than enough proofs to back their claims thus suppressing all threats made by Salisu Buhari and his lawyers to sue them for libel.

It was made known to the world that Salisu Buhari, the self-acclaimed Toronto University graduate, was actually born in 1970 and not in 1963 which he claimed. This rendered him unqualified to be the Speaker as section 65 subsection 1 of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria disqualified anybody under 30 years from contesting membership of the House of Representatives.

Also, it was made known that Salisu Buhari didn’t attend the University of Toronto in Canada not to talk of graduating with a degree in Business Administration in 1990. The University of Toronto, when asked, denied knowing Salisu Buhari. The management said they couldn’t find any record relating to the his name. Carlo Villanueva, an official of the Institution said,

Regarding your request for confirmation of degree for Mr. Ibrahim Salisu Buhari. We have searched our records and could not find anybody with the name you are inquiring with”.

Also, Salisu claimed that he did his national youth service at Standard Construction in Kano. This was proven false as records at the NYSC secretariat in Abuja could not produce his name among the 1991 corps members who served in the scheme. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Blocked in every way, he had no means of escape. After several open denial of the allegations and threats to sue The News Magazine, Salisu Buhari, on Thursday, July 23, 1999, eventually faced Nigerians and admitted declaring false age and forging certificate. In tears, he said,

“I apologize to you. I apologize to the nation. I apologize to my family and friends for all the distress I have caused them. I was misled in error by the zeal to serve the nation, I hope the nation will forgive me and give me the opportunity to serve again.”

He then resigned and walked into the shadows. In 2013, he made his return to the news and the public space when he was appointed as a member of the governing council of the University of Nigeria by President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.

Normally, the move garnered a lot of criticism. In a feeble attempt to justify the appointment, the Nigerian government explained that Buhari’s apology had earned him a presidential pardon from President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The Man Called Adegoke Adelabu ‘Penkelemesi’

Published

on

By

 

Joseph Gbadamosi Adegoke Adelabu alias Adelabu Penkelemesi was a colossal in the political arena of Ibadan and the then Western Region before the independence of Nigeria in 1960.

He was born in Oke-Oluokun, Ibadan, on September 3, 1915 to Mr. Sanusi Ashiyanbi Adelabu and Mrs. Awujola Adelabu. At the tender age of five, Adegoke Adelabu lost his mother and then lived with his paternal aunt. Adegoke Adelabu attended St. David’s C.M.S School in Kudeti, Ibadan from 1925 to 1929; CMS Central School, Mapo, Ibadan in 1930 and Government College, where he was a head boy, from 1931 to 1936…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

In 1936, Adegoke won a U.A.C scholarship to study commerce in Yaba Higher College but eventually left the college six months later to work as an assistant to the UAC Ibadan district manager. After working with UAC for sometime, he was promoted to an Assistant Manager due to his hard and clever work. However, he left UAC in 1937 to start a business of his own which was unsuccessful. He later took up a civil service job, then returned to UAC in 1945 only to leave after a short period to start a textile trading business which was successful.

After acquiring little wealth from his textile business, Adegoke Adelabu got involved in politics. The starting point of his political career was traced to the period when Ibadan lineage chiefs (Mogajis) rose against Salami Agbaje, the then Otun Balogun of Ibadan, from becoming the Olubadan of Ibadan. In 1951, during the local elections, Adelabu and some other political elements formed a new party called the Ibadan People’s Party to challenge the already established Ibadan Progressive Union and fortunately for Adelabu, the new party won all six seats to the Western Regional Assembly.

However, the Ibadan People’s Party broke apart after an informal alliance with NCNC was proposed by Adelabu. Adegoke Adelabu stayed with NCNC and became the secretary of the party’s Western Province Working Committee. In 1954, Adelabu became the chairman of Ibadan District Council. Also, in the Federal elections of 1954, Adegoke Adelabu won a seat to the House of Representatives and later became the First National Vice President of NCNC and appointed Minister of Social Services. He held this post along with his chairmanship of the Ibadan district council.

He later resigned from both positions after allegations of corruption by the opposition party, Action Group.
In 1956, Adelabu ran for a seat in the regional assembly as the leader of NCNC in the Western Region but his party lost majority seats to Action Group thus making Adelabu the leader of opposition in the Western House of Assembly.
Adegoke Adelabu alias Adelabu Penkelemesi was a strong politician, leader and had his ground, a firm ground, in Ibadan. He was found of using the phrase “Peculiar mess” whenever he address the public. The non-literate segment of his followers who had never heard of the words peculiar and mess and never knew its meaning Yorubanized the phrase into “Penkelemesi” and then added it to his name- Adegoke Adelabu Penkelemesi. The people so much loved Adelabu. He was indeed a ‘man of the people’. OldNaija gathered that when he became the Minister of Labour, he was given an official limousine car which he drove to Ibadan to show his friends and followers and declared that the car belonged to them, not him. Also, when Adelabu was given an official residence in Ikoyi, the most exquisite part of Lagos inhabited mostly by the British and French, he called drummers from his hometown to celebrate the success which the British and French residents found disturbing. Adegoke Adelabu simply said, “If they do not like noise and drumming, they are free to go back to their own country.” Adegoke Adelabu admitted being an egoist in a book he wrote in 1952 titled ‘Africa In Ebullition: Being a handbook of freedom for Nigerian nationalists’.

On March 25, 1958, at the age of 43, Adegoke Adelabu met his untimely death in a fatal car accident on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway. His death sparked protest and chaos in Ibadan as many of his supporters claimed he was assassinated by his opponents with juju. Several properties were destroyed and people also lost their lives. The police arrested over 500 persons of whom 102 was charged with murder and others discharged and some, jailed. It was indeed a big loss, a “peculiar miss” for the people of Ibadan.
