Body language and thoughts (interesting excerpt)
 

I'm still working on finishing that book I've been reading about body language, and I must say I've learned quite a lot from the book.

I started looking for things when I'm talking to other people that I never used to look for before, like for instance, I was trying something I read earlier last week on a girl I knew that I bumped into at school.
I looked for body motion patterns and I was able to determine many things about her (which general direction she was headed, what kind of a day she had, things of that nature) in the short minute or so that we chatted.


Here is something I came across that I think will benefit everybody, regardless of whether or not they have relationship/gender problems.
I want to take the chance to share it with fellow RS'ers :), a small excerpt from one section of the book:


I've tried looking for these things on myself when I'm talking to or being talked to by an interesting person, and I found these little motions to be fairly accurate on just about anybody.
Give it a whirl, it's actually a lot of fun experimenting with this stuff. :thumbsup:



-Physixx

seems like a good book, might check it out some time soon.

Yeah, it's definitely worth reading up.
She's a pretty persuasive writer in the sense that she nails everything dead on,
just one of those books that make you go "ohhhhhhhhhh! I get it!"

^ hey man why dont u start a blog?

HAHAH ^

Physixx is my biggest hero.
YOu need to write your own books man..

To me all those yes & no gestures are ones everyone should have picked up and know by the time they reach adulthood. Pretty obvious I would think. Obviously I'm no expert but generally I find the biting the arm of the eyeglasses more of a 'yes' gesture.

lol,
start a blog and write a book about what? stuff that I neither came up with nor have copyrights to? :(

yeah, most of these are relatively straight forward.
however, many people pick up these gestures subconsciously, so it's actually kinda nice to have it put in words.

There IS one on that list that I don't think is completely accurate, which is the one about taking a sip of a drink. I mean, yeah okay, that's a "maybe" thing I'd probably do as well, but what if I was just thirsty?
Anybody have any better indicators/clearer idea on this one?

And there are people that know this and manipulate it into their daily routine and getting what they want or seeing people's reactions. =)

what book is it? where can i pick one up? seems like an interesting book.

Physixx have you read The Game? just wondering what are your thoughts on it since ive seen a couple people with this book

anyone with a bit of life experience knows most of these.

cant put too much stock in these for true feelings. its more what someone chooses to project, then what they really think.

she's a milf :)


Yeah I've read it.
It's an interesting read, despite all the controversies people tend to raise about it. Nonetheless, it never hurts to read.

what do you mean by this?

^i think that only applies to some people. most people can't control their subconcious actions, so 90% of the time these would be accurate indicators.
