"but they will walk away from the nice guy and go straight for the jerk just because the jerk made the first move"
you wonder if they (women) ever catch onto that fact themselves :P
Women are all different. It depends on what THEY want and how interested THEY are. It's all a gamble. If she smiles and seems to want to be around you, then go ahead and tease her. Aggression may seem wrong, but they will walk away from the nice guy and go straight for the jerk just because the jerk made the first move.
What the H-E-double-hockey-sticks is going on here? Is this a mailing list for programming help or a dating advice network? :D

Around here (Texas, USA) teasing of anybody for any reason is becoming an absolute social no-no. Unasked for touching can get you in serious trouble at any age. People tend to reply to that sort of behavior with guns and lawyers... The result is a new found respect for peoples feelings and bodies. So, what was accepted behavior when I was a kid is now considered to be criminal, or at least near criminal, behavior.
Cultures change, and the changes can happen in an amazingly short time. I know young women who can't watch a lot of TV from as recently as the 1960s because they gets so angry at the way women are portrayed.
