Triangle Method Flirting: a guide to success

Move over cheesy pickup lines and awkward silences! Social media is buzzing with the latest "foolproof" flirting technique known as the Triangle Method. With TikTok views skyrocketing, it claims to make someone fall for you faster than a kid falling off a bike without training wheels. But does it really hold up to scrutiny? Let's break it down, folks!

This seems to have worked out!

Step #1 eye

Step #2 mouth

Step #3 second eye

So, what's the deal with this Triangle Method? Apparently, it's all about your eyes and their eyes and mouth – the ultimate love triangle! Step one, you gaze into one of their eyes, then swiftly dart your eyes to their mouth, before finally locking onto the other eye. Voila! You've got yourself a Golden Triangle, not to be confused with a Bermuda one, because romance is no mysterious vanishing act.

DO NOT STARE!

Now, here's the catch: don't linger too long on any of these points. We're not talking about gazing at their mouth like it's the last scoop of ice-cream on Earth. And whatever you do, steer clear of displaying disgust; it's not the most charming emotion when you are trying to seduce someone.

But hey, before you start counting triangles like a mad scientist on caffeine, keep it on the down-low. The last thing you need is your love interest thinking you're decoding the universe on their face – it's not exactly sexy!

Triangle Method: yes or no?

And the million-dollar question: does it work? Sorry to burst your bubble, but there's zilch scientific evidence to back up this love potion. No clinical trials, no peer-reviewed data – nada!

But hey, all's not lost! The Triangle Method does have a hint of logic – eye contact is the secret sauce of flirting. It shows interest and connection. Now, let's talk about the mouth part – the gateway to kisses, apparently. I mean, seriously, your mouth is for kissing.

More than the Triangle Method

The following research is by Dr. Monica Moore, a psychologist at Webster University in St. Louis

Dr. Moore's research reveals that men and women worldwide communicate romantic interest through these nonverbal cues. Smiling and eye contact are like the bat signal for love – they're simply irresistible!

Tips for Women

Brace yourselves – it's all about the power of touch! Researchers have cracked the code on which types of touching send the right signals and which ones might send you straight to the friend zone (gasp!).

This is definitely more than a friend zone touch

The Friendly Touch

The "friendly" zone includes shoulder pushes, shoulder taps, and good ol' handshakes – a polite, yet somewhat platonic pat on the back. Think of these moves as the equivalent of a "Hello, old chap!" – charming but not exactly sparking romance.

The Mixed Signals Touch

Then we have the "plausible deniability" zone, where things start heating up. Picture touch around the shoulder or waist, or a gentle caress on the forearm. Now we're talking! These moves are like flirty breadcrumbs, leaving just enough room for ambiguity.

The Definite Touch

But here comes the nuclear option – face touch! Boom! This is the grand slam of flirting moves. It's the stuff that sets hearts aflutter and sets the stage for something truly magical. Softly brushing their face is like waving a wand of enchantment – pure romance in the air!

Tips for Men

Here's the scoop – physical attractiveness won't cut it for us fellas. Sorry, but flashing those pearly whites and flexing those biceps won't do the trick.

This is not how James Bond would do it

The secret sauce for male flirting is all about displaying social dominance. Wait, wait – before you think we're talking about alpha-male chest-thumping, it's more like "smooth operator" territory. Think James Bond, but without the high-speed chases and dangerous gadgets.

According to researchers successful men in the flirting game show off a particular set of nonverbal cues.

• Quick, fleeting glances at the flirtee

• Take up space like a boss (arms extended across an adjacent chair, anyone?)

• Don't forget the playful chatter with other guys in the space

All of these cues are going to make you look like an Alpha male in with the focus on the right person, making them feel special.

Success is when...

But how do we know if this suave strategy is working? Well, here's a fun little nugget from MIT research: when she starts speaking smoothly and quickly, you're onto something! It's like a secret code that she's intrigued – think of it as hitting the "Jackpot" in the flirting casino.

So there you have it, the witty, science-backed guide to flirting like a true gentleman. Just remember, be smooth, own your space, and give those friendly jabs like a suave secret agent. Happy flirting, and may the charm be ever in your favor, dear gents!
