Body Language – Fact or Fiction

AOL Personals had an interesting bit featured today on body language. I’m fascinated by the subconscious cues we give others. We can do so much to present a calculated image, impression, but in the end, we are only truly ourselves and the cues we give with body language can give us away.

Some of the cues Michael Tolosa describes make sense to me, but the rest make it sound like a single woman has only one thing on her mind as she licks her lips, peeks around her menu, or crosses (twines) her legs.  Not every woman is on the prowl. Sometimes we are just interested in a cup of coffee, a glass of wine.

Here is a peek into the article. Click here to read the rest.

*The exposed wrist. The exposed wrist is a sign of submission. The example given here is a woman leaning on her knuckles with her wrist turned palm toward her partner. A sign of vulnerability shows the partner that an approach is welcome. The wrist in the other position, turned away from the partner shows a closed off, do not approach attitude.

*When a woman plays with her hair, it’s a sign that she wants to be touched….or that the wind is blowing.  Okay, this is one that I have a problem with because I’ve got long hair and I am always pushing it back or re-twisting it up. Then, again, I do enjoy being touched by the right person, so maybe it does mean what they say. The same is said about toying with accessories, like jewelry.

What do you think about the cues people give with body language?  Do you have any moves you watch for when you are on a date?
