[Tango-L] Cabeceo, again

[Gary Barnes]

There seems a lot of evidence that the 'eyebrow flash' is a universal  
facial gesture, which seems to signify something like recognition.

Other, more complex meanings ('do you want to mate', 'you are my  
friend', 'do you want to dance') seem to be culturally specific.


The gesture itself is exaggerated in some cultures, and almost  
completely proscribed in others.

Why does it never occur to some people to use it to invite someone to  
dance; and why do some people, when seeing it, get the wrong message?

And when this is happening a lot, what is wrong with giving them a hint?
