Carmen Electra prefers guys to "make the first move".

The Baywatch actress takes an "old-fashioned" approach to romance and wouldn't dream of going up to a man she's interested in, although she admitted she would try and catch his eye in other ways.

Offering advice to readers, she told Playboy magazine: "I’m old fashioned, so I prefer if the man makes the first move, although I have been known to do a little walk, sway the hips a little bit, you know, bat my eyelashes a little like a butterfly, and keep on walking. If they are really interested in you, they’ll talk to you or slip you their number."

The 54-year-old star suggested men who want to date "middle-aged women" should get in contact "appropriately" and warned last-minute invitations are always a bad idea, particularly late at night.

She said: "We do appreciate texting or calling appropriately.

"What you really need to do is make sure you don’t call her and say, 'Hey, come meet me at a bar right now,' when it’s midnight. That’s a huge no-no. A woman likes to get ready, and she needs to make plans.

"Maybe call her early in the day and say, 'Hey, let’s go out tonight. I want to take you out. I’ll be there to pick you up.'

"Something like that sounds a lot better than, 'Hey, meet me at the bar', you know? No, it’s not happening."

Carmen believes a man's mind and his sense of humour is what makes him "sexy", rather than his physique.

Asked if six-packs are "really that sexy", she replied: "I don’t think they’re necessarily that sexy. I honestly think a man’s mind, how funny he is, makes a man sexy, but it’s not always about the six-pack.

"But a lot of really gorgeous women are dating guys that have a little Buddha belly, so I don’t see anything wrong with it. I’ve dated a Buddha belly before, once or twice, and it’s a dad bod vibe for sure. If you’re into them, you’re into them."
