"Are Americans resistant to the cabeceo because they
fear and misunderstand the "intimacy" of eye-contact?"

You hit the nail right on the head, Mark. We're just a
bunch of hypocritical prudes.  (I'm just listening to
Fresedo's "Vida Mia", which I simply adore.) But
eye-contact can also be very intrusive, you know. So
where do you draw the line? Also, we've just not been
educated to use this practice very well. We're just
plain clumsy at it, not like the Argentinians, who've
used it all their lives. NOT that I approve of all the
ways Argentinian men pursue women! They can be a
little scary with their attentions sometimes, without
meaning it, I'm sure!
