Hi All,
Just had a brilliant – just brilliant – idea for a blog post. I’m working here at the reference desk and I just realized that I get to see patrons in their very natural condition. Patrons walk in from the parking lot and well, ‘act normally’ in their environment.
I like to learn – and I like to learn about people. I also like to learn how people think, behave and why they act the way they do…
So, with that somewhat vague (but hopefully intriguing)…what is the subject of todays’ blog entry?
Body Language! also known as ‘non-verbal communication’, body language is a subtle way to ‘read’ into people thoughts and communications…
The following blurb comes directly from About.com since their description is written so well.
“Does crossing your arms indicate that you’re feeling defensive? do shifty eyes mean that someone is telling a lie? the things we communicate without words can carry as much meaning as any verbal expression…
Body language refers to the nonverbal signals that we use to communicate. According to experts, these nonverbal signals make up a huge part of daily communication. from our facial expressions to our body movements, the things we don’t say can still convey a tremendous amount of information.”

Want to learn how to flirt with women? Well,, cheesy pick-up lines are out, and aggressive flirting body language is in. In fact, even if you were the greatest poet in the world you couldn’t affect a woman nearly as much as if you use the right body-language cues. here are some reasons why this seduction tool is so powerful.
If you know how, you can signal your interest (in a subtle way) to a woman standing across the room from you. You might not know it, but women fear rejection just as much as most guys and by giving her signs of your interest, you make it more likely that she’ll be willing to interact with you.
So what exactly can you do to use your body language to get women’s attention and show them you’re open to interact and have some fun? here are three examples.
1. be Open and Mingle
What do you think when you’re in a crowded bar and you see a guy somewhere sitting all by himself? You’d think that this guy doesn’t want to interact, and is probably in the process of drowning his sorrows by drinking. Needless to say, not a single female will approach him. That’s why it’s very important to get into the crowd and get into the action, especially if you’re out on your own.
Check out the design of the place (including the women milling around). Make eye contact with women who are checking you out in return. Smile at women who catch your eye and say hi (say it as if you already knew them). this will help you keep an open and inviting body language and it has a huge impact on the impression you make on everyone around you.
2. Wink (But Not Like a Creep)
There’s a proper way of winking that won’t tag you as a creep. It’s actually very simple: Smile broadly before you wink. A genuine smile takes the creepiness out of winking.
This is particularly helpful if the woman is positionally inaccessible (like when she’s seated with her friends and you’re standing by the bar). Smiling and winking will effectively put you on her to-talk-to list for the night (if she doesn’t come right over and talk to you immediately!).
3. Signal your interest in what she’s saying.
Many guys aren’t very emotionally expressive in their faces. If you’re one of these men who were born with a ‘perennial poker face’, you can express your interest by tilting your head towards her.
All these body language cues help when you want to establish rapport with women.
Understanding women is a mystery that remains unsolved till date. while at one hand, men find women fascinating by their looks and gestures, on the other hand, they are unable to even interpret their so-called small gestures, like a smile, frown, wink, or shift of an eyebrow. to make matters worse, a man often lands in a bewildering dilemma when it comes to getting attracted towards a girl. though the two share an enigmatic chemistry, he is still not able to get closer to her and take the relationship to a newer level. Reason being, he finds her like an open book at times, but feels she’s still a stranger on other occasions. But little does a man realize that a woman uses her body language to communicate her interests and attraction. to make matter simpler, the real trick is to recognize the clusters and progressions of a woman’s body language, decode all of them and and bring the relationship on a smooth road. thus, we bring you some secrets that can help you unlock the body language of women. Check them out. we hope you finally get to know whether she’s interested in you or not.
It’s not just because they have world-class beauty and elegance. It’s also due to the fact that they exude confidence by the way they stand and walk. Proper posture, in case you don’t know, is crucial in becoming attractive.
You’ll look better when you have proper posture. if you want to know how you can become more appealing to men without being too blatant about it, learn how to use body language for women.
These body language tips for women are perfect for shy women who don’t want to appear too straightforward to the men they like. Remember, you can be seductive without trying very hard. As a matter of fact, you can get guys to notice you by simply standing. That’s how powerful body language for women is.
Tip # 1: have proper posture
Posture plays a big role in making you attractive. the right posture will definitely make men look your way. Women who know how to stand and sit properly will always catch the attention of guys because they come off as confident.
Tip # 2: Smile just enough
A smile lights up your face. it makes you pleasant to the eyes of others. it lets people know that you are fun and easy to be with. when you smile, you let men know you are friendly, at the very least, and that they can come and talk to you anytime. There’s just one thing you need to remember, though. Don’t smile a lot because it will make you look weird. Smile just enough. and don’t smile too wide either. A little sexy grin should be enough to make a man want to come over. Leave a hint of mystery in your smile.
Tip # 3: Move flirtingly
As said a thousand times in previous posts, using body language for women during social interaction will work to your advantage. Move seductively. Walk while swaying your hips a little. Lightly touch a man’s arm in the middle of a conversation. Cross your legs deliberately slowly. Tilt your head. these are just some body language tips for women that would surely get a man hooked.
Tip # 4: Talk in a sweet, sexy voice
Men like women who talk in a sexy voice. this makes them really sexual.
Tip # 5: Touch and/or flip your hair the right way
This is probably one of the best body language for women. this is really simple in theory but it generates the most favorable responses in men. you don’t even have to talk to a man to make him want you. you can simply pass by them, put your hand at the bottom of your nape, inside your hair, tilt your hair a bit, and then slowly stroke your hair. That’s very sexy.
If you know who Parvati Shallow is, you’ll know this move is very effective. when she was introduced at the start of Survivor: Micronesia, she had her hand in her hair, which was way too sexy. it was a move that didn’t require a lot of effort yet she managed to look very sexy and attractive.

Since the 1970′s, learning how to communicate better has had a lot to do with understanding body language.
Julius fast wrote a book entitled, Body Language in 1970. he talked about a new science called Kinesics. it opened the way to more studies and books on the subjects. Today, the term Body Language is very common and understood as an important element of communication.
In fact, experts in the field of communication suggest that there is a rule that says that 7% of the meaning of what a person is saying comes from their words.
Interestingly, 38% is based on the tone of their voice. 55% of the meaning comes from the body language of the person that is speaking. This rule comes from research that was published in the late 1960′s.
Some now think that the percentages from this research might be slightly different. nevertheless, the bottom line is still the same. If you don’t know the basics of body language, you are missing a valuable tool for learning how to communicate better. we speak body language on a subliminal level, without actually realizing that we are communicating through body talk.
The most expressive part of your body is your face. When you enter a room if you feel nervous, your expression might make you look aloof or unfriendly.
Smiling at the room is a sure-fire way to remove anyone’s doubts about your approachability. Smiling makes us look warm, open and confident.
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. They certainly give people clues about what we are feeling.
A direct gaze towards someone can show interest- direct staring on the other hand can mean an intense dislike. Very little eye contact can show that you are shy.
Have you ever watched someone’s hand gestures when they are talking? Open hand gestures tend to make a person appear open and honest. Bringing hands together to a point can accent the point you are making.
Wringing your hands or excessively moving your fingers and hands will give away nervousness. it can even make someone look dishonest- are they trying to hide something?
If you lean towards someone you are showing an interest in that person. If we are feeling low in confidence, we tend to slouch our shoulders and look down.
Men and women use different body language. for instance, women will stand close to each other, hold eye contact with the person they are talking to and use gestures.
Men make little effort to maintain eye contact and don’t rely on the use of gestures to communicate. Men and women can learn how to communicate better by observing the differences in their use of body language.
