Sometimes it's just boredom, sometimes it's a nervous energy thing (like when people consistently bounce one leg up and down when seated). I remember way back in Junior High we talked about it being a blood-circulation thing - an involuntary movement caused by the passage of blood through the leg.

Women do this when they're alone or just with other women as well as when they're with men, so I doubt they're intentionally doing it to attract men. The fact that it's pleasing to some men to watch, well, lucky you! We aren't at all fond of watching what men do when THEY have sore feet.

When I do it, I'm either: a) bored, and it is the equivalent of tapping one's fingernails, b) trying to keep my foot from falling asleep, or c) having a nervous tic.

I too have noticed that women move their crossed leg up and down. I have asked a few women about this and have been told by the unshy ones that yes, there is some sort of stimulation when the leg is moved in that fashion.

Pete, let me ask you: Is there anything, anything else at all, that might have caught your attention over all those years up there in Wisconsin?

Foot flirting is usually done under the table. Sometimes it's with or without the shoes and making various contact with the other person's feet . This would be done in public in the open for all to see to express interest or attract attention of another person.

Unless their going for the Sharon Stone effect, I don't think it is a conscious sexual attempt.

It's called fidgeting. In other words, it does not provide sexual stimulation. I've seen both genders do it. Men who cross their legs often shake the top foot, much like a woman might. The only difference is that a man does not cross his legs the way a woman does.

I'm kind of a fidgety person, and it's just a nervous habit. My Mom does it, too- she calls it her aerobics.

In my experience, women do this for two reasons: One, they don't like sitting completely still, and two, to get a male's attention.

It's a nervous habit, like men bouncing their legs while watching football or playing a video game. It could be a come-on if it was done in a sexy way with an obvious smile, but probably it is not.

Are you sure it's not just something you (as a man) notice more in women? I think this is something people of both sexes do. So far as the ankle is concerned, pivoting or making circular motions relaxes the ankle and leg - eases the muscles, etc - it's a comfort thing!

It's a nervous habit, something I do when I'm bored. I also twist or play with my hair, or clean my fingernails in the same situations. It has nothing whatsoever to do with 'sexual stimulation'.
