The technique of ‘reading’ people is used frequently. For example, the idea of mirroring body language to put people at ease is commonly used in interviews. Mirroring the body language of someone else indicates that they are understood. Body language signals may have a goal other than communication. Both people would keep this in mind. Observers limit the weight they place on non-verbal cues. Signalers clarify their signals to indicate the biological origin of their actions. * One of the most basic and powerful body-language signals is when a person crosses his or her arms across the chest. This can indicate that a person is putting up an unconscious barrier between themselves and others. It can also indicate that the person’s arms are cold which would be clarified by rubbing the arms or huddling. When the overall situation is amicable, it can mean that a person is thinking deeply about what is being discussed. But in a serious or confrontational situation, it can mean that a person is expressing opposition. This is especially so if the person is leaning away from the speaker. A harsh or blank facial expression often indicates outright hostility. * Consistent eye contact can indicate that a person is thinking positively of what the speaker is saying. It can also mean that the other person doesn’t trust the speaker enough to “take his eyes off” the speaker. Lack of eye contact can indicate negativity. On the other hand, individuals with anxiety disorders are often unable to make eye contact without discomfort. Eye contact is often a secondary and misleading gesture because we are taught from an early age to make eye contact when speaking. If a person is looking at you but is making the arms-across-chest signal, the eye contact could be indicative that something is bothering the person, and that he wants to talk about it. Or if while making direct eye contact a person is fiddling with something, even while directly looking at you, it could indicate the attention is elsewhere. Also there are three standard areas that a person will look which represent different states of being. – if the person looks from one eye to the other then to the forehead it is a sign that they are taking an authoritative position; – if they move from one eye to the other then to the nose, that signals that they are engaging in what they consider to be a “level conversation” with neither party holding superiority; – the last case is from one eye to the other and then down to the lips. This is a strong indication of romantic feelings. * Disbelief is often indicated by averted gaze, or by touching the ear or scratching the chin. When a person is not being convinced by what someone is saying, the attention invariably wanders, and the eyes will stare away for an extended period. * Boredom is indicated by the head tilting to one side, or by the eyes looking straight at [...]

Majority of men in all over the world has lesser penchant for words compared to women. They relay on simple body language to show their anger, happiness, sadness and even attraction towards women. Men who do not know how to express their emotions well be more prone to commit domestic violence towards their spouse. This is a big show of action. However, men are also unknowingly sending out smaller signals throughout the day. Men’s body language can be sent from their face, their hand gestures, legs position and body posture. Attraction and body language goes hand in hand. It is difficult for a man to hide their attraction towards a woman especially when he is also sexually yearning for her. Hiding sweaty palms in pockets, using their handkerchief to wipe their forehead, these are all signs from men who are nervous when faced with women they are attracted to. Subtle actions like winking or lifting of eye brows can be a cute playful sign to show women that they are giving them extra attention or they are amused. When men felt intimidated or cornered during conflicts, they will fold their arms across their chest which acts as a protective barrier of sort. Men in serious thought will stroke their chin; when in deep complex thought will pinch the bridge of their nose; and when in frustration will pull their hair or clench their fist. Body language signs allow men to show how strong they are, to rise above others and to let women know they are searching for a mate. The stronger the maleness from their body language, the more women will be attracted to them. Body language is not something that can be taught. They are developed as men grow up. A born leader will have body language of a leader while a cowardly wimp will have body language of a wimp. Women can read it and detect what kind of man the person is. Men’s body language is the best kind of straight forward non-verbal communication. Largely perfected for hunting and mating in the ancient times, men are still unconsciously using it to hunt for their prey. Giving long eye contact is a sure way to let a woman know that he has his eyes and heart glued on her. Eyes tilted to one side or focusing on other things will show that the man is bored and has his attention elsewhere. When a man is lying, he will usually make a lot of hand gestures and touching of face. An annoyed man will stand with legs apart ready to launch an attack. Body language signs are easily interpreted when it comes from a man. They are not known for pretending by using body language. That is why most male criminals easily gave away their guilt when confronted during interrogations. Women on the other hand can be good actors using body language and fake emotions. They can cry even when they are not sad or smile when they [...]
