Ever wonder how that all these people around you seem to be getting the guys/girls even though you don't think they are that attractive or even really that smart...or come to think about it, they don't have half the qualities you think you have or at least what a person of the opposite sex might be interested in? Ever wonder how you don't get half as many guys/girls as the person you always considered "below" you on the social scale or at least not as attractive as you does? Well...sometimes it isn't a matter of how "attractive" a person is...sometimes it's body language. There are ways guys and girls can pick up on who is available and who isn't and they, themselves, instinctively know how to show they are "interested" and also available. They may not be the catalog image and stereotype of the type of people who "catch" dates, but they probably naturally know how to detect and display this type of body language. Consider this:
The type of walk a female might display could "tell" a male that she is "leading-on". Or, her intentions might be totally off key. But the signals are still there. The "rolling" hips when walking might "lead" a guy on.
When talking to a guy, a girl who rubs her legs might tell him that she is available.
A guy who stands leaning against a wall or something like that with his hips slightly out and thumbs in pockets while resting hands on hips might lead a girl on just as the girl "walk" senario works. While either may or may not intend it to be a "lead", often times it attracts the other gender on and sometimes sends the wrong signals...those signals being that the person is available and interested or looking.
And you know what? Body language is involved with tons more than just the "intimate" aspect. You can tell a lot about a person's personality just by the way they present themselves.
Consider these observations: (I found this list online. I added some words to it, but for the most part, the following list comes from a website lol)
Walking briskly or erect could mean that a person is confident.
Standing with hands on hips could mean readiness or aggression.
Sitting with legs crossed, foot kicking slightly could mean Boredom
Sitting, legs apart could mean Open or relaxed
Arms crossed on chest could mean Defensiveness
Walking with hands in pockets, shoulders hunched could mean Dejection
Hand to cheek could mean Evaluation or thinking
Touching, slightly rubbing nose could mean Rejection or doubt or lying
Rubbing the eye could mean Doubt or disbelief
Hands clasped behind back could mean Anger or frustration or apprehension
Locked ankles could mean Apprehension
Head resting in hand, eyes downcast could mean Boredom
Rubbing hands could mean Anticipation
Sitting with hands clasped behind head, legs crossed could mean Confidence or superiority
Open palm could mean Sincerity or openness or innocence
Pinching bridge of nose, eyes closed could mean Negative evaluation
Tapping or drumming fingers could mean Impatience
Steepling fingers could mean Authoritative
Patting/fondling hair could mean Lack of self-confidence; insecurity
Tilted head could mean Interest
Stroking chin could mean Trying to make a decision
Looking down, face turned away could mean Disbelief
Biting nails Insecurity, nervousness
Pulling or tugging at ear could mean Indecision
A lot of the time, body language is done unconsciously rather than consciously. People use it to detect lies and that sort of thing also.
What do you guys think?
