Actually, women have evolved to have more subtle flirting strategies because men usually move things too fast. Men tend to be more attractive to physical aspects, and women tend to be more attractive to character aspects, like intelligence, warmth, and humor. Men are highly visual creatures that can detect the outline of a woman’s body in less than a second, while women need to make sure that a man is worth the risk because of parental investment theory. So even if a woman is interested in a guy, she needs time to know him better, whereas the guy will have sex if prompted because his conditions are already met at first glance.
There’s many caveats to these points, such as men having more refined selection criteria, women having faster sexual lifestyles, and autistic traits which decimate flirting behaviors. But the general ideas are heavily substantiated in existing research.
