I think you should rephrase that.
For me, during a chess game, all I think about is chess. Flirting and ogling don't belong on the chessboard. And who knows, she might be turned on by a merciless beating.
I actually think it would be a little offputting. I prefer to play ugly people.
Other things often put me off. Knee wagglers, pen clickers, mint crunchers or people who stand up after every move. I even had a guy reading a book opposite me at a tourney once. (Not a chess one.)
Yeah, it'd be great if I could just stay "in the zone" and ignore all that stuff but it does get to me.

Wow! Does your tongue hanging out and knocking over your king count as j'adoube?
Could you concentrate on your next move if your opponent looked like this?
