If an adult wants to appear appealing to another adult in order to gain some recompense or advantage she tilts her head to one side and gives a gentle smile and expectant gaze in the other person’s direction. Some women, wanting to break down another person’s resistance gladly take on the teasing, cajoling behaviours of a precocious young girl. By tilting her head she is reliving the times when she sought comfort, rest, or loving and tender bodily contact as she laid her head against her parent’s body. As an adult, she may not necessarily lean into her companion’s body, but the gesture alone is enough to stir up protective emotions. With no understanding of what’s happening or why, the reluctant feelings that the companion had been harbouring drift away.
