I have noticed that women tend to blush when someone praises them.., especially if that someone is a special one.., I do too.., Not only when I hear praises.., but also when My friends used to tease me with the guy who used to have a crush on me.., and I don't even liked him at that time yet.., Have you experienced the same thing? Blushing without knowing why? =)

Yes, women tend to blush, especially with if being praised by someone that they like.I do too. I don't know how my face look like when blushing..LOL.. I wish i can see it on mirror, so i know how funny my face will look like. I guess it's totally our trait as women ??

Hmmm.., I guess it is.., But don't you think it's so uncomfortable.., because our blushing can give us away sometimes.., and we intend to hide our feelings.. haha..=)

As they say yes I am actually blushing. I don't have any idea about it of how come it is happening. But my face really blushes even if I am laughing.

Hmmm.., I guess., you blush when you laugh because of the increased blood supply..=)

Yes!! I blush all the time and I don't even know why! For instance, yesterday I couldn't reach something on the top shelf of a food isle. I was literally about to climb the shelf when this guy that works there was like 'Don't you climb that!' and he was just joking but I stopped anyways. And then he came and reached what I needed for me. He was very friendly, I guess cute... but I mean, I wasn't really paying attention. He was very nice. But after he left my Mom goes 'Look how red you are!'.
I didn't even know I was blushing??? It drives me crazy! lol.

I easily get blushed too! Not only when someone praises me but also when I am under the sun in just a minute or two. I also get blushed when I get anxious! I hate it when I get blushed because I don't like to be teased.
I think it has something to do with our circulatory system. It all starts in our brain.. the one who controls our emotions and then signals our heart to pump faster, that is why there is palpitations. Then, blood flows to the neck then to the face.
What I am wondering is that why do women blush more than men do? =p
