Body language

[SexyCowgirl]

I'm curious, what does everyone think about body language? How well do you read peoples? How well do you project? And how big a part of your attraction to another person does their body language play, in your opinion? I want peoples thoughts on this! And how good are you at hiding your true feelings? Do you ever get the impression you are sending mixed signals?

I train horses, and I use a method that focuses on using your body language to cue, and train your horses. It makes things work smoothly, and creates a good partner ship for your horses. They can read and know what you want, almost before you have finished the thought in your head. And they are fun, because they can read the nuances of what you are asking/saying. So, I may be telling my horse to follow me, but to them, they pick up if I am happy, mad, angry, scared, nervous, excited, ect. And each horse responds differently. It transfers from working on the ground, to in the saddle. I have a colt now who is a ton of fun for me, and very responsive. But when I put children on him, he is a different horse, calmer, slower and more desisive of his own accord.

I love watching people, they say more then they realize without speaking. My husband tells me all sorts of things, without ever speaking. I know he is under a lot of stress these days, I know he is usually angry when he gets home from work. I know my Mother loves to ride, but I also know that she is nervous, hesitant and cautious around horses. I gather from her behaviour that she was hurt, or had a horse do something to her, but she refuses to admit it.

And I know my husbands friend who comes to the lake with us finds me very attractive, and I know his wife really irritates him:lmao I know his wife does not like me, although she is very friendly:( Faker:)

What do you guys see in people you know that they will not voice?

Animal sense more than people do...a times they also know mother nature is going to do...that is the interselves...but humans on the other hand are total different. They say alot with there bodyies they don't even know they are doing, they think they are smarter at hiding what they are trying so hard to hide but that makes their body language give off more signals. Personally I read people very well...insight you might say...just by looking at them...but in all fairness i give everyone a chance and I'm rarely wrong....

[cherokeered]

I am a people watcher....I like to study them...and I am pretty good at reading them...I trust my instincts when dealing with them....


As for me...I don't normally hide my emotions...they are always showing in my eyes....

[Bdysntcher]

I have been married so long I can't read body language anymore

[p.J]

I don't think body language is given enough attention! Though, it should be interpreted with care! :55

As are mine, cherokee. It gets me in trouble sometimes. I can't sneak up on George at all. He always knows when I'm wanting to surprise him with a pinch or a slap on the ass... It's just not fair. LOL

[Crawfish]

I read somewhere that when a woman twirls her hair with her finger, it means that she's sexually frustrated. So I only hit on woman that twirl thier hair.

How about suprising others, like me for example. :D

[MIGHTY]

I can tell a lot from body language. For me, I always cross my arms when I am feeling defensive and my nostrils flare when I am angry. I love reading expressions as well. I have a keen sense of interpretation when it comes to others. I can almost read their emotions and their body language is usually what confirms that I am right in my hunch or feeling......

Wait til you see my body language in person, you will no doubt know that I am into you big time, it will be rather obvious.

[MCat]

My sister and I have an eyebrow thing....our mother has it too. If the left eyebrow is raised and we are silent...you better take cover.

[Amaretto]

If my tongue is hanging out, my eyes are huge, and I'm unbuttoning my blouse, it might mean that I think you're hot.

[hank69]

Boy look OUT........I'll stay outside for a long time.....or if she is flirty she will flash me when I'm outside .....I like the butt shots through the patio door..:D.or the pics she sends me when I'm working. (I work alone) unless someone wants to go with me......I'm still taking applications for the mile high club.........:lmao

[SexyCowgirl]

Thanks for all the responses everyone, it i neat to see what everyone thinks.

I wonder if it's true about the hair twirling, I know I do that when I'm stressed.........

[surfdude]

I've studied a lot about body language as part of learning how to read people. What a person's body is doing is much more important than what's coming out of their mouths.

so, what you're saying is, if a man gets a stiffie, but he tells me i don't turn him on, i shouldn't believe what he is saying?
:lmao

[living to Flirt]

I agree... I feel I recieve mixed signals all the time.. but I mark it up as being a male. But I think if you look and listen, you can see anyone give body language.

[AffableOne]

I read somewhere that when a woman twirls her hair with her finger, it means that she's sexually frustrated. So I only hit on woman that twirl thier hair.

[MrHyde]

I love reading body language. It's funny because they say that like 70% of communication is non-verbal. I believe it. As a therapist most of what I work with is the process of the session as opposed to content. So how, when, and why they say something reveals so much more then what they actually say.

Where I would like to get better is becoming conscious of my own body language and what I'm communicating....that would be a real advantage. One thing I do now is I match. It's funny how well it works. Basically if I'm sitting with a client, friend, family member, I subtlety match their posture, mannerisms, and rate of speech. I change as they change. Interestingly enough it makes the other person feel connected. Crazy stuff.

[Catman354]

Reading and delivering the proper body language for me is a huge tool in my work, you can read what a person really thinks when you tell them something, whether they are willing to carry out what you just told them, whether it will get done correctly or whether they will excel int the challenge and it will feed thier self-confidence.

[gina99]

Body language can show your overall mood and how you respond to others.

[leighm]

I think body language is a big thing. I also like to watch people and I think I can read them pretty well. I try not to send mixed signals tho. I think I do alot with my eyes more than anything and my smile. I think I can read hubby pretty well but of course he denies this. I know my kids very well too. Think they think it's a little scary as they can't hide anything from me.

[MunkyBrain]

LOL! I guess that's why they invented Mace.

[Brink]

While I’m certain a lot of information is garnered through body language, its emphasis, I think, is in danger of being exaggerated at times, especially in professional climates. An expert, who was training me in the art of giving speeches, once told me that I appear to be apologising for my existence on Earth with the way I carry myself. Well, steady on! I’m sure my words could convey that on their own!

With such boosts to your self-confidence and performance hinging on its evaluation, I find its best to ignore much of what is pop-psycho babble just because I don’t relate to it much, and I don’t believe in it. I might be leaning over a desk because I’m interested, I’m dizzy…or I’ve got a stain on my pants, who knows! So what if I don’t survey the world as I walk; I’d rather seem like I belong to a world of epic fiction, than I’m strutting the corridors looking for a fist fight….because that’s the way somebody said I should walk!

I think the more you recognise other peoples’ body language, the more you think about your own, which is important, but I’d never accredit it with as much power as some would. Indeed, I think with even a bit of knowledge, it is all too easy to misinterpret...Heaven forbid your partner insists you're lying just because you wafted a fly from your face! I think you should move in your own time, take your own steps, not appear rude, and try to seem natural, and hope nobody is scrutinising you too much, unless you do something truly alarming, like massage your crotch, lick your armpit or pick your nose.

For me, reading body language has become a very useful observation. It allows me to know more about the person, before they even say anything. Their characteristic traits are given indirectlly before any initial personas are projected. Most people say more indirectly than they do directly, mostly out of fear. These skills are hard to teach, I try to teach them to my kids everyday. It's funny how you mention animals, that's usually what I start with, mainly dogs. I have two dogs, and I have taught my kids that you can tell through the animal's body language how it feels, if it is friendly and approachable, if it isn't, if it likes kids, if it's old, or hurt. Humans are a little more complex but still hold the same basic principles. I also have the ability to read in between the lines, for example, it's not what someone says. It's how they say it, what words they choose to say it with, and the way they word it. So, I don't just read body language, I also read into what they say and how they say it. There is classes taught on this subject...it's called profiling.

I do not particularly like cats. A girlfriend of mine has 5 cats, a rather large number actually. It is extremely interesting to see how these five cats differ, their ways in handling their food, their ways of saying thank you or not, of asking for tenderness, of being female and male as the case may be. I recently learned of their history, how they were found and brought up: they act in accordance with their cat experience.:yks
