Body Language.

I've heard women discuss more than once how guys don't know how to present body language to women to attract them, and it does seem important. So how do we give off signs that'll attract women without saying a word basically?

Maybe you could show off your ability to lick you eyebrows?


Ok, seriously...

I honestly don't know?
I am the most socially retarded person there is when it comes to flirting and body-language.
I have no idea how to give off "body language" and I have absolutely no idea how to read another person's body language.

Body language is really important it shows level of interest. Eye contact that lingers a little does it for me.
If you watch where someones feet point when they are sitting opposite you indicates interest. Pointing at you ... yippeeee.... Pointing towards the door they are looking for a reason to leave. Pointing to someone else they want rescuing..

Maybe I'm just a little stupid but, why can't people show their level of interest through oral conversation?

If you talked with a person, and listened to what they were saying, wouldn't that be a better indicator of interest than looking at their feet and trying to make assumptions based on which direction they're pointing?

Maybe that's why I'm single? I never realised I was supposed to indicate my interest in someone by using a primative foot-pointing method. Wonder why people even bothered to invent speech?

Ferruginous - oral conversation? Then why do people say they will call then don't. Their body language says what they will do. Guess maybe people don't lie in the states..LMAO.

You shouldn't be watching my feet, they're about 5'5½" away from my eyes. If I can't look at boobs, you can't look at my feet. Besides, you'd get mixed signals using that method on me. My feet never point straight forward.

The other thing is that body language doesn't do any good if nobody acts on it. Maybe there are discernable signals that exist with someone who you are already in contact with, but I for one never make the first move with strangers even when all the signals are there. As a result, since women usually are even less likely to make the first move (only 3 ever have with me)... well, all the signals go for naught in those instances.

I'd like to go by signals, but ever since Grade 4 we've been taught that anything other than "yes" means "no" (in an effort to curb rapists who used, "her body was saying 'yes'" as a defence) and it's come to control the entire way I approach women. I maintain a high degree of apprehension in regards to overstepping my bounds, so signals are essentially meaningless. If I don't hear a clear, concise affirmation, then I'm not going to take my chances.

Body language is not a concious display. Its something you display without thought, or conciousness of even doing it. If you want to use it to communicate, never fold your arms, always face the woman, keep yourself open to her, and keep yourself closed to others. I think it would be easier to just say hello, introduce yourself, and talk a bit with her. That way, you can watch her body language, and see if she is interested in you.

Is this feet thing really accurate? I mean why choose to believe based off what feet do?

And when you say eye contact that lingers, well in what way? Like there is humble eye contact and more**** and seductive for example. Thanks.

ahh the feet thing was just an example. Watch people in cafes . Its everything arms, legs, feet and eyes.
The eye contact that lasts longer than a quick glance, about 2-3 seconds.
Body language experts are frequently used in courts because what people say and what their sub consious body is saying can be very different.

In courts wouldn't body language be as inaccurate as a polygraph?

Be careful in one culture what a body says may not mean anything close to what you think. Yes eye contact is good... but in another culture it is rude.

The important thing is to be yourself. I often cross my arms in body language this means I am a closed person. In fact I am cold a lot of time. I do this to warm up. Wow talk about admitting something... "I am a cold person!!!" lol
