How flirting remains the best way for women to get what they want in business | Mail Online

-Study: Women should be 'playful' rather than 'serious' to close the deal, it revealed
-Business school researchers said flirting only works by a woman on a man and not the other way round

They may be breaking the glass ceiling but when it comes to business, women can still get what they want with a bit of flirting, according to a study by economists.

From a high powered corporate takeover to getting £100 knocked off the cost of a second hand motor, women should be ‘playful’ rather than ‘serious’ to close the deal, it revealed.

Even in what is considered an age of greater equality, flirting only works by a woman on a man and not the other way round, said business school researchers.

Some women do more than flirt to get ahead.

It worked for this one woman at work, she would up rub on guys that could do something for her. Every time she didn't do her job the boss would get one of the guys that knew what they were doing to bail her out.

The problems you run into:

There are many women business owners and decision makers. If you get a rep for being a flirty lightweight, you will alienate most of them and that will be the end of you.

Flirting with a male decision maker is indeed effective. Unfortunately you must also be very light on your feet and able to extricate yourself gracefully when they call your bluff and want to get physical. And they will.

They use the word "playful" and that's probably a better way to go than actually "flirting" - you want to make your male business cohorts like you, but not want to sleep with you.
