That one, I don't know the answer to. Could be thousands of years of male domination, but that seems as much question-begging as anything else: it could only have arisen if girls were already less assertive. I wish I knew.

So do you think it is best to pretend to be coy and subvissive, if all you're after is a bit of attention from guys?

That depends on what sort of guy you're after. If you want a guy who is quite shy himself, you need to beat him over the head. If your tastes run more to assertive, confident guys (wouldn't surprise me), being more coy and submissive could well help.
