Due to the

other thread on body language being hijacked and the advice of Friendly1 and Chemist, I am going to start a new

thread on the topic. If you haven't read the old thread it can be found here and has lots of good info in it.

http://pherolibrary.com/forum/showthread.php?t=

12330&page=1&pp=30 (http://pherolibrary.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12330&page=1&pp=30)

I would like to start this thread by asking this question: If a fly was sitting on the

wall looking at you what would he see, in other words how do others read your body language?

Any other

discussions on body language are welcome in this thread but please keep it to that topic thanks.

5 Sure Signs She's Hot For You (http://channels.netscape.com/ns/love/content.jsp?file=love/fun/isshecomingontoyou.jsp&floc=LV_1-T)
Her gestures, glances and body posture all speak to the real

question: Is she coming on to you? Know the signs.

It was pretty interesting.

Chemist

These signs are way too specific.

Yes, they are there when she's HOT for you. However, how about if she just shows a mild interest or if she's

naturally introverted? If you wait for a girl to show you these 5 signs, you're ruling out most of the hits your

going to get. Most hits I get are more subtle than this - such as she seems to appear out of nowhere several times

during the evening - and she starts talking loudly to her friends right when I enter her periphery.

You, on

the other hand, need to convey a non-needy, non-wussy, non-eager to please man that is confident and has no need for

another women in his life.

I'll leave it at that for now.

This describes me to a tee. In fact, I am sure it is how the fly saw me, just before I squashed his guts

all over the wall.

As far as the article goes, I found it interesting. I don't believe they were advocating the

need for ALL five signs to be present. I especially liked the involuntary eyebrow raise, maybe that means her

sub-conscious finds you attractive.

try asking for a

kiss...if she likes you,your good to go

i would say, never ask for a kiss. GO for a kiss. there is

this one test you can do for a girl. if this test shows positive signs, you have very good cards to kiss her.



just imagine you ask a girl for a kiss, she says 'no'. this could be just one of the tests she makes on

you. OR it could really mean you are not allowed to kiss her. so by asking you can not always know, especially if

you dont know her well!

i have another personal strategy, that often leads to kissing. but the basic things

is, you have to know there is atleast some positive (sexual) chemistry between you and her. now, you can say to her,

"i have something to tell you", then go near her ear, whisper something or talk in a low resonantic voice. do some

really good voice tonality work and then when you have said in the ear what you wanted to say, then pull your head

head back, but slowly by your cheek touching her cheek, like gliding backwards. hard to explain. talk something (it

does not really matter what) in a deep slow tonlity, pause, continue. if she likes this, she wont pull away.

eventually work your way to her lips. works for me!

preparing - just do it.

She turns away or worse laughs uncontrollobly - move on!

"You, on the other hand,

need to convey a non-needy, non-wussy, non-eager to please man that is confident and has no need for another women

in his life." I agree, mild disinterest and self-assurance can make certain women want you if you have other

attractive attributes. Of course other "attractive attributes" is the key word here. However, it must be used with

discretion as not all women are the same. In high school we simply called this game playing hard to get. Women play

this game better than most men. When I was younger and dumber I used it, especially when I sensed I had the upper

hand. Once I had them in the pocket I tortured them before presenting my midnight surprise, and usually ended up

dumping them soon after. I was a total ass. However it sometimes backfired with smart women as they sensed they were

being played. Some women that were initially attracted figured my mild disinterest meant I was a playboy with too

much booty on hand. Others thought I was in a relationship or even gay. What I'm trying to say is be flexible and

use the best tool for the job. You'll enjoy more success.

I tired of game playing long ago and now prefer

being simple and direct. If the woman wants me to perform that song and dance, I warn her and, if she persists,

quickly move on. There are lots of women out there...

Off topic - but reply to playing

hard to get.

I never said be disinterested.

In fact, it helps to be interested in her by talking about

her to her. And I further show this by keeping my hands to myself in the beginning. I keep talking and

conversating, all the while making her laugh.

There is a way to show interest without saying it nor doing

those things mommy said to - being nice to her etc.

Hard to get? Sort of. The prize isn't perceived as

worth much if its too easy to get - and she has to come to this realization on her own, all the while feeling an

attraction.

" I never said be

disinterested."I didn't read your posts until now (sorry, I didn't realize you said it first!--thought it

was DumLuc). I was simply drawing a parallel between my juvenile games and the "non-needy, non-wussy don't any more

women in my life" school of fuckenfast.com. My post-pube techniques were pure acting and not a philosophy: you lure

them in, snag 'um, pull away just enough to torture them a bit and swoop in for the kill. That was my juvenile game

plan and it worked well much of the time. The sad thing is I could only be so cold and calculating with women I

didn't particularly like other than for a piece of ass. Glad that stage is long over. Incidentally, I learned the

technique from females I had unsuccessfully woed in college. They used it on me, leaving me feeling rather dickless.

It gives you a false sense of power that, unfortunately, dissipates quickly until you find another mark.

here are some body language i use.

i used it all my life before i knew it was a part of seduction. since you are the prize: you never give the girl

your body langauge right away. she can receive more body language once she earned it and eventually get it all if

she is cool enough. like if i'm at a bar getting a drink, i 'll initially talk to a girl but with my body facing

the bar and my head turned towards her. she's doing cool stuff, i'll give her some more body langauge and if she

is cool enough to get into rapport then she'll get full body language. never ever lean in if you can't hear her or

whatever, make her lean in to you.

if i want to see if a girl that i wouldn't talk to is interested in me i

check for pupil dilation. your pupils get dilated when you see something attractive. i do this with girls i just

have to interact with because it's a part of llife like cashiers or customer service type stuff. grooming

themselves, when they run their hand through the side of their hair above their ear. observing if they're being a

little too helpful or smiling at me. i live in the northeast, people don't smile at you for no reason.

:goodpost: Thank you Trock

for getting back on track! How easy is it for you to tell if there eyes have dialated? Do you study them first so

that you can tell the difference? Does it happen for an expanded period of time or just a couple of seconds? I

assume you do this while introducing yourself and holding that eye contact longer than normal, is that correct? If

not how are you able to accomplish it without looking obvious?

TRock
01-25-2005, 02:47 AM
you can look in the mirror right

now, they'll be normal size. go look up some porn and see how big they get. you can't really miss it in a girl if

their pupils are dilated. just look into her eyes, that's normal alpha behavior anyways. if you meet somebody

important or powerful when they shake you hands they look you in the eyes and hold the gaze. so while you're

looking check for pupil dilation.

Marlboro_man
01-25-2005, 02:53 AM
Yeah I already hold the

gaze, I was just concerned about looking weird while trying to figure that out. I will work on that skill this week

Trock and let you know the results. One more question for ya, Does this happen only when you first meet someone or

each time you encounter them?

legs at the knees are?
Leg crossing is complicated. So is arm crossing. Generally speaking, if she

directs her body toward you, she is interested in you (or someone or something in your vicinity).

To determine

if you are the object of interest, every couple of minutes you should EITHER change your body position (to give her

an opportunity to mirror you) or move to another location.

If she mirrors or follows your change in direction,

she is interested.

Here are

some quick examples of body language as they realate to this business world primarily but to other aspects of life

as well.

Tightly crossed arms, high on the chest, looks defensive and uninterested
Usually

indicates a closed mind. Anyone sitting that way doesn't want to hear what is being said and probably a change in

topic would work better than continuing with whatever is being said.


High-pitched, fast-paced

voice may sound girly and lack authority
Usually indicates nervousness, anxiety, or fear of failure.

People most often lapse into this mode when they are speaking in front of audiences, but it could also be an

indication that someone is lying or trying to cover up something.


Rolling on your heels looks like

you are insecure and childish
Usually indicates a desire or willingness to take action, or a desire to get

away from a situation. Impatience and eagerness are easily confused but a supervisor who is trying to rally the

troops should be encouraged by seeing this kind of reaction.


A shoulder shrug signals that you

don’t believe what's been said, even if it was you that said it!
Not necessarily. A shoulder shrug can

be a sign of resignation (what can we do about it?). A shoulder shrug can be used to reassure someone who is not

feeling positive or supportive of a position being pitched or explained. Shoulder shrugs are dismissive actions,

but the dismissiveness can negative, affirming, or neutral.


Playing with your hair implies an

inner build-up of anxiety
Or intense concentration. It is, however, an immature behavior in men (who are

not expected to have enough hair to play with in most office environments). This is also a classic flirting move

for women, so hair-playing in the office can simply indicate a girl has an interest in someone else nearby.




Pulling your ear gives the impression you're struggling to reach a decision
It can also

mean "I don't want to be hearing this" or "I don't want to be saying this". I have noticed more and more that I

get a little "itch" on one of my ear lobes just before I say something I'd rather not say. Naturally, I reach up

and tug at it to relieve the itch. If I could turn off that itch mechanism, I would be a happier body language

projector.


Touching your face is a sign of nervousness or possibly even dishonesty


Depending on how you touch your face, it can also be a sign of deep thought, grave concern, boredom, or that you

have something on your face.


Stroking your neck can make you seem stressed or flirtatious


Neck-stroking is more common among women than men and it is usually a sign that the girl needs or wants

reassurance OR that she wants a man to appreciate her beauty/youthfulness.


Wringing your hands

shows concern
Or stress or anger or fear (the latter two of which overlap with concern).




Fidgeting suggests worry
Or boredom or pent-up energy or a desire to leave.




Foot tapping impatience
Or anger or just a sense of keeping in time or rhythm with what is

going on (usually when listening to music, but it can happen around noisy environments). Foot-tapping can also,

therefore, be an indication of relaxed contentment.


Pen drumming boredom
Or anger or

deep concentration or anxiety.

Few actions by themselves really disclose what state of mind produced them. Some

actions, when greatly exaggerated (such as crouching to avoid being hurt), are self-explanatory, but most are not.

Don Steele likes to say, You cannot NOT communicate.

So, when you hold back

like that, don't deceive yourself into thinking you are not revealing something about yourself. At the very least,

you are demonstrating some self-control. She may find that appealing. At worst, you may come off as being rigid

and fearful. She probably won't find that appealing. Staying relaxed and confident are key to making it work.





Pupil dilation occurs for other (and many very

common) reasons, too. It is not a controllable behavior and is not a reliable indicator of interest. It is better

to use it as a vindicator of other possble signals of interest.

When I first started learning about dilation, I had similar questions. Now, I know what to look for. I Just let

it happen and allow myself to get lost in her eyes.

In a brightly lit room, a girl's pupils will be like small

dots within her irises. If she becomes attracted to me, her pupils will enlarge to the point where they take up

most of the space and the irises are just thin borders around the large black regions.

The old "your eyes are

like limpid pools" line comes back to me in moments like that.

Normally, their pupils don't become so enlarged,

but you can still notice changes if you tease them and don't stare at their eyes for too long.

It's best if

you can lock gazes with a girl. You end up shutting out the whole world and she is focused totally on you. I've

found it difficult to do that with Asian girls, though, as they usually look down or away (out of a cultural

tendency to show respect for others).

When an Asian girl locks eyes with you, that is a BIG thing.

"you have to differentiate

experience because they lost all the cultural stuff growing up in the US."

Like most things in life,

it depends! Not all first or second generation Asians fall into those stereotypes. I'm a first generation Asian,

born in Korea, and English is my second language. I moved into a white suburb while in grade school and lived

isolated from my culture (my mother married a white guy). I'm Westernized to the max. Gee wilikins, my English is

better than most native speakers I know. I've been told by more traditional Koreans I walk, talk and smell like a

white guy (must be the the NPA)! In contrast, my cousins were born and raised in LA's Korea Town, attending church,

school, etc., with other Koreans. They're bilingual but are more traditional and Korean than I or my sisters.

Although their English is okay, they have obvious accents. Moreover, many of them are more traditional than women in

Korea. Large ethnic communities, islolated from their mainstream culture, often preserve their traditions better

than their native country.

It's wise to forget the formulaic approach and learn to handle Asian women as

individuals for best results. Nothing pisses off an Asian woman more than being stereotyped by someone outside their

race.

Incidentally, Asian men and women in Hawaii--even 4th generation+--rarely look in you the eye unless

intimate with your or about to kick your ass. It's considered disrespectful in most other situations. Mainland

visitors, especially military, often wrongly interpret this behavior as racial hostility. Others think local Asians

suffer from low self-esteem! Last semester I had an Asian female student from Seattle in one of my classes. She

fearlessly looked anyone in the eye and pissed off half the class (mostly Asian) because of it. She didn't say

anything rude but was perceived as crazy and a bitch due to this cultural disconnect. She was actually a very nice

girl.

In Korean culture is considered rude to touch a customer's hand. Korean retailers show respect to

customers by laying their change on the countertop. I've seen GIs curse Korean shop keepers because they didn't

look them in the eye and then treated them as if their hands were dirty!

than I do, so I'll defer to your judgement (ON EDIT: But I'll keep what Gegogi says in mind, too). I've been

second-guessing myself with a Chinese girl I met a couple of years ago. I rarely see her now. She grew up in the

U.S. and had a boyfriend when I first met her. She hasn't had a boyfriend for a long time and I've always thought

that was kind of strange. I have been thinking lately that she just doesn't want to give her heart very easily to

anyone.

Of course, this girl has flirted with me in the past, and is quite beautiful. One night, she very

calculatedly and deliberately gave me a full side view as she arched her back. That is SUCH a sexy move.

But she

is much younger than me and doesn't chase guys (they usually chase her anyway). We've had a few misconnects and I

feel she gave up on me a long time ago.

Anyway, most of my eye-locking lately (with Asian girls) seems to have

been with the more traditional ones, but it's hard for me to figure out who is traditional and who isn't. I just

out-and-out asked the med student the other night if she is, and she admitted she is very NON-traditional. By that

point, my interest was waning anyway. She is smart, sweet, beautiful, and sexy, but unless she changes directions in

her life, she and I will never be more than just friends. (And, no, she is not wild -- as far as I can tell, she is

pretty conservative by American standards.)

Now I

understand that point but alot of what I read says that I should mirror her to make her feel more comfortable. So in

your opinion which is it, should I do the leading or should I do the mirroring?
Intentional mirroring or

lead mirroring is how you establish rapport with a person. That really means you are helping the person to feel

comfortable in your presence and emotionally in tune with you.

Rapport-building is part of most, if not all, of

the dating/seduction techniques I have read or read about, including Don Steele's book and a couple of business

body language books (selling, after all, relies extensively on seduction).

So, you have to decide for yourself

whether you want to take the lead and try to build rapport. Just keep in mind that it's still a numbers game.

Some guys feel better if they are in the driver's seat, because if they don't see the girl responding they blow

her off and move on.

But if you're thinking to yourself, "She may like me", and you have the time to let her

show her hand, letting her take the lead can be enlightening.

Of course, few women will take the lead for long.

They try to make men they like feel comfortable and relaxed, and they do so through a variety of means: acting very

interested in what the guy is saying, laughing at his jokes, mirroring his body language, touching him, asking him

questions, affirming his opinions, and generally following whatever non-lead he provides until he gets the clue and

takes over.

Sometimes they just realize they made a mistake, found a really shy guy, and lose interest. But

they do express their interest in so many ways we guys consider to be subtle -- even super-subtle -- that I think

most guys never see the signals. I certainly didn't get it for a very long time.

to keep it on the topic of nonverbal communication. all the non

it's tru most of the time, what can you do?

community than they probably retained cultural values.

it also depends on what part of asia you are from. i'm

southeast asian, vietnamese, to be exact. southeast asians (vietnamese, cambodians, laotians, and filipinos) don't

tend to hold on to hold on to our cultural values. but this is only from experience i have on the east coast. on the

east coast you rarely meet any asians who retain their cultural values if they are 2nd generation on unless they are

isolated like gegogi.

" it's hard for me to

Of course what she and you consider traditional may be

very different. The fact that she, a Vietnamese woman, is in a Western country studying to be a physician means she

is non-traditional by Vietnamese standards. Travel and higher education for a young single woman from the "old

country" are unusual. But that doesn't mean she isn't traditional in other ways, e.g., male and female roles in

dating, sex, or family.


"to keep it on the topic on non verbal communication, all the non traditional

asian girls i know dye their hair and get their nails done every week. i know it's stereotyping, but what can you

I guess I don't consider that non-traditional!

That's normal female activity, Asian or not. You should see the designer handbags most fairly traditional Korean

women covet! By traditional I mean retention of culture such as language, food, music, TV/movies, morals, family and

other values and attitudes unique to their originating culture. Western materialism jives nicely with the most

I know this thread got

sidetracked a little again but I am looking for everyone's take on these two body language movements.
1. A Girl

grabs your hand while you light her cigarette. She doesn't guide it like she is afraid that you will catch her

hair on fire rather she just kinda holds on for the ride.
2. I have 3 different girls (age 19-20) who consistently

put the crotch on my knee. Yeah I know it seems obvious but here are the details. I am sitting at the bar, they

come up next to me, and I turn slightly towards them and of course I am leaning back away from them playing it cool.

They are usually drunk (good fake ID's) and want to talk to me so they can either talk to me that way or walk

around my leg and come to my side. 2 of them are single the other does it right in front of her boyfriend. Do you

think they are trying to get close to the mones? (btw, they are all very good looking, one is an 8.5 and the other 2

are 9's, you know the kind of girls that used to itimidate us)
I know these both seem like obvious signs but I am

looking for everyone else's feedback.

touching initiated by the girl is a sign of interest. However, her interest may only be to see how much she can

manipulate you.

are using fake IDs to get into bars, then they certainly aren't very inhibited.

They could just be playing

around with you.

Alcohol can often induce a young girl to do things she wouldn't do while sober, including

throwing herself at a guy, having sex, doing drugs, and breaking the law. That is one reason for why giving alcohol

to minors is illegal, and why having sex with a drunk girl is usually called date-rape.

If you want to REALLY

know if they are interested, you have to interact with them when they are sober.

If you just want sex, well, I

suppose in the scenario you describe above that depends on how slick and sleazy you want to be.

able to apply to my own experience. But the same gesture can mean more than one thing. So, you have to practice

Most attractive girls

quickly learn their female assets are extremely effective at manipulating men. It takes them years to learn to read

men for maximum effectivness. As a college professor I get the treatment all the time. Many women at this age are

good at teasing (for manipulating) but don't know when to turn it off and get themselves in trouble. Some of them

do it just to enjoy the feeling of power and have no intention of following through. Reminds me of my old tomcat. He

used to catch birds and play with them all day, biting, releasing, pouncing and finally killing them. He had no

intention of eating the poor little thing. Not that I'm holier than thou, I have occasionally been gulity of the

same (not torturing birds, teasing women for the heck of it).

It sounds like they

are teasing you. That doesn't mean nothing would happen. Sometimes, like Gegogi says, the Little Tease gets

caught in her own trap.

But they do like to be seductive and see how much they can drive a guy crazy. It makes

them feel more "womanly".

And I am not saying that ALL girls do this. I am saying the ones who tease on a

moment's notice are usually just playing around.

I've had girls bend over frontwards and backwards, hoping to

get a rise out of me, and I knew for sure nothing would have happened. I might laugh at their immaturity, I might

just ignore them.

I sure don't go looking for anything from them. Some guys would. It means nothing to me.

I

agree, mild disinterest and self-assurance can make certain women want you if you have other attractive attributes.

Of course other "attractive attributes" is the key word here.

Crucial. You've got to back that mild

disinterest and self-assurance up with other marketable qualities, i.e. appearance, humor, curiosity, interests,

something (anything) suggesting intelligence and an awareness of/involvement in the world around you and...a

life. Nonchalance sans any of the above barely even registers as a punchline.

And appearance doesn't mean if you don't look like a GQ

Chemist
01-30-2005, 08:07 PM
Ok guys. Sidetracked again. These

are my thoughts so far.

Regarding the three girls on stud muffin's knee - if a girl is really hot for you

and that close, you should be able to smell her - it gets obvious.

Another thing I've noticed - is that when

it comes to showing interest, most girls follow a very distinct pattern. And, yes the initiated touch is a good

sign. However, different girls are more comfortable than others - when any she first starts doing this kind of thing

with me - I have found the WORSE THING TO DO IS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SHE DID IT. Don't look where she touched you,

don't touch her back, don't back away, and don't lean into it.

Some guys actually say some wise ass

comment at that point, I do not - but the wise assers are the ones that end up making out with her in the parking

lot.

I notice when she does it and then mentally keep a note of how often she does it and the nature of the

touching appears. I have noticed that if I keep this up days later - the contact lingers and when lighting a

cigarette or passing a can opener - that she is actually quickly caressing when days before it was just a breif

encounter.

If she suddenly started the lingering caresses, any man would notice it - but she's ramped up the

intensity so slowly that it doesn't seem all that unusual.

Now I know she's interested - but I still do not

do anything. But, I know I will be kissing her within a week. Her resulting contact ramps up to a point where there

is no mistake that she wants to move everything to the next level.

And this all happens because I don't

acknowledge her initial touching. I'm not sure the reason why - but I conciously do this now. I know some other

guys who are more successful than me at hooking up find my actions to be somewhat counterintuitive yet they cannot

deny the results - they just do it faster - granted they are much younger than me and taller.

Hey Chemist, do you think you

could go into a little more detail on that?

Chemist
01-31-2005, 02:42 AM
My schtick is good and fun

conversation. I make the girl laugh by poking fun at her or using funny speaking voices while describing something,

The point is to make them laugh at their expense, but do it in such a way that they know I'm teasing

them.

Their subsequent reaction tells me what I need to know and it is her response that weeds a girl out.



Before I am start a conversation with a new prospect, there are usually other girls around that already know

me and all make a big deal out of my appearance - they have an expection that interactions will be random with me,

and funny often at their expense - but its not mean, it's teasing. As I'm interacting with the people I know

already, I keep on the lookout for somebody new. The most obvious sign is that she stares right at me.

Later

I will engage her in conversation - and within 3 minutes I start with the teasing and if you keep doing this, she

will eventually laugh so hard that she will instinctually lift her hands to slap your shoulder while she is

laughing. Once contact has been made, the interaction moves to the next stage.

Everytime she slaps me or

makes some physical contact, accidental or not, I make note of it - like a scientist plotting data and projecting

forward but not interfering or doing anything differently - just observing. Many times the slaps become more

frequent.

Over the course of the next few interactions, I keep doing my thing and seeing if she does anything

unusual while I'm handing things to her or in her area. If the physical contact becomes more frequent its a good

thing, if the contact lingers thats even better. Sometimes over the course of time, the slaps start becoming quick

strokes then after a while while I'm handing things to her, she will grab my hand first and then move her hand up

over mine until she grabs the object. This increase intensity is very gradual and unnoticible since each time she

contacts me, its only a little bit more than before.

Sometimes she does something obvious like grabbing my

hand and holding it or just mushing her head into my side then grabbing and hugging me and not letting go. Then all

this observation stops and I decide if I want to go down the path that she has obviously told me with her actions

she wants.

I think this thread is getting sidetracked. If you want me to elaborate more, please ask a more

specific question.

"Eat much and eat

healthy."

Eating correct proprtions of the major food groups, keeping sugar and fat intake to a

minium, avoiding harmful additives (e.g., pesticides or preservatives like sodium nitrate) and drinking plenty of

water is eating healthy. "Eat much" is not healthy or manly. You'll feel better, look better and live longer if you

only eat the amount of food necessary to maintain your metabolism and body size. Eating more than you need results

in excess fat storage, dull intellect and reduced self esteem. Of course if you do fatten up, you don't have to

sat behind one girl and to the of another girl. after a few minutes i notice the girl to my right sending attraction

cues. then she stopped. a little later on in class, the grl in front of me tried to look at me and was playing with

her hair and rubbing her back and the sides of her neck. i think the girl to the right notice and started up sending

signs again. so that cycle went on for the rest of class, girl in front send signals the girl to my left would get

mad and send signals. i tried friendly's mimic body langugae game. i looked at my nails and i notice she looked at

her nails too, but that was it for the mimic game. so that was basically it for my morning class today, oh i did

learn something class too lol.

friendly, what is the proper way to play the mimic body language game? and i

notice the girl on my right crossed her leg and put her hands b/w her legs. i see that from alot of girls actually.

Well, with the one girl, the hair

playing and rubbing could be flirting moves, but they could also be signs of stress, tiredness, or intense

concentration. I don't know what to make of "sending attraction signals" and "sending signs again".


i

tried friendly's mimic body langugae game. i looked at my nails and i notice she looked at her nails too, but that

was it for the mimic game.
It's not a game, though, and you don't want to mimic (or get them to mimic).

You want to mirror, which is somewhat different.

For example, this morning I was in a meeting with two other

people. One was a woman the other an older man. The man and I were making a pitch to the woman.

My associate

seemed a little nervous, though I am not sure why. I tried to relax and focus on building rapport with the woman.

As she leaned to her left (expressing interest in the presentation), I shifted my weight ever so slightly to the

left as well. I did not cross my hands exactly as she crossed hers, but I held my hands in front of me and somewhat

crossed like hers were.

When she seemed to withdraw and become defensive, I tried to open up my body language.

She responded by opening up hers.

I did not try to make intense eye contact with her, but I did keep my eyes on

her face or on my associate's face for most of the conversation. Every few minutes, since there was noise in the

background, I took a quick scan around the room and used that opportunity to reassess the woman's body language.

If I felt I needed to adjust my position, I did so.


friendly, what is the proper way to play the mimic

By itself, that body position doesn't

really tell you anything. In one context, I can tell you that it might be an indication of virginity or sexual

modesty. In another context, it might mean the girls are feeling comfortable. In another context, it might mean

they are feeling uncomfortable.

You have to look at what else they do, and what is going on around them. For

example, a girl might be flippling her hair just because a gnat keeps buzzing her.


...and would have

wearing -mones and actually looking like i didn't just get out of bed done anything else for me?
Maybe.

Hard to say. It sounds you may have had some interest from the girls. And it never hurts to keep them wondering

what is going on with you in terms of your sexiness. Sometimes you're hot, sometimes you're not.

you're supposed to be able to get an answer from a person without verbally communicating it though if your body

langauge skills are good, 93% nonverbal vs 7% verbal (and out of that total 7%, only 4% of the 7% is truthful or

upfront communication). i usually won't engage girls that send IOI'S because they're no higher than 7's. i

I don't understand why guys have to have the "8s and higher". Of course, I have never understood

the numbering system, either.

Some girls turn out to be knockouts once they fix themselves up. They can REALLY

downplay their sexiness if they want to. Assigning numbers just knocks you into a much smaller ballpark with way

too many other yelling, screaming fans in my opinion.

Then forget about chicks!!!!!!!!!

Chemist
02-02-2005, 06:53 PM
I talk to ALL the chicks. The fat

ones, the old ones, and especially the ones that look like they're preoccupied. I make them laugh out loud and when

they do slap me, I totally ignore it unless its somewhat forceful. Then I have to say, "Oww" or

something.

It's really hard to tell if knowing over 70% of the chicks at a party helps mu game - but it

seems to make the other 30% very very very easy to interact with. About several months ago something different

started to happen. Chicks used to quickly turn away when we made eye contact - now they keep eye contact and over

half the time, they smile at me and say hi first.

Each girl I talk to is definately not with the intent of

scoring - its with the intention of setting up a specific environment - where I am seen interacting with a different

girl every 10 minutes and that girl is paying complete attention to me and not running off. Some guys actually

comment on it out loud (yo man, that guy is always talking to different chicks). This makes it so the hot ones

wonder and feel almost compelled to engage me and try to figure out what the big deal is. The girls that know me

yell my complete name out loud when I enter a room.

When this first started, the quality of the girls was

very low. But very slowly I have found that the hot ones come around eventually and and now approach me and start a

conversation (usually about nothing) - the greeting is usually with some sort of hug or even a little peck on the

chick. Ones the hot chicks do this, the other hot chicks do it too.

Everybody has a different game. This one

I talk to ALL the

chicks. The fat ones, the old ones, and especially the ones that look like they're preoccupied. I make them laugh

out loud and when they do slap me, I totally ignore it unless its somewhat forceful. Then I have to say, "Oww" or

something.

It's really hard to tell if knowing over 70% of the chicks at a party helps mu game - but it seems

to make the other 30% very very very easy to interact with. About several months ago something different started to

happen. Chicks used to quickly turn away when we made eye contact - now they keep eye contact and over half the

time, they smile at me and say hi first.

Each girl I talk to is definately not with the intent of scoring - its

with the intention of setting up a specific environment - where I am seen interacting with a different girl every 10

minutes and that girl is paying complete attention to me and not running off. Some guys actually comment on it out

loud (yo man, that guy is always talking to different chicks). This makes it so the hot ones wonder and feel almost

compelled to engage me and try to figure out what the big deal is. The girls that know me yell my complete name out

loud when I enter a room.

When this first started, the quality of the girls was very low. But very slowly I have

found that the hot ones come around eventually and and now approach me and start a conversation (usually about

nothing) - the greeting is usually with some sort of hug or even a little peck on the chick. Ones the hot chicks do

this, the other hot chicks do it too.

here's another article on body

language by badboy.



http://www.badboylifestyle.com/?badboy=archive&new

s_id=3 (http://www.badboylifestyle.com/?badboy=archive&news_id=3)

Lets talk little bit of body language, and how it is connected to your attitude and confidence. We

all know, that people communicate with each other on multiple levels. Words (what we say), is just 7% of our

communication when we communicate, the majority of communication is done with bodylanguage, vocal tones, vocal

pitch, movement, and gestures. When I say body language, I mean: pitch of voice, tonality, speed, how you walk, the

way you carry yourself through the world, having eye contact, how fast you move (hands… etc), shoulders, chest...

You may ask why body language is so important. First, because it is how we sub- communicate with others.

the easiest way to walk like that

is imagin being yanked by a rope tied around your hips. lead with your hips and your body will be forced to be

alpha. and/or walk with the balls of your feet.

an easy way to have all your body language slow is imagine if

you were high.

leave the link to the new URL). If this is the same guy, he didn't look very impressive in that picture at all.

Certainly not like some hotshot lady killer.

But this article describes another by-the-numbers technique that

will work for some and not for others. It's very mechanical.

The slow walk he describes would be hard for

anyone to achieve with anything like a natural step. And the concept of personal space is not B.S. People have

zones of comfort that should only be intruded upon when you understand what their reactions mean.

Some guys will

hit you if they feel like you are crowding them.

walkers. if walking is 4 mph, you're probably walking 2 or 3. i know people always walk faster than me. it's

basically walking with a cocky swagger or a pimp walk. i've walked almost like this all my life, it took a little

concious adjustment on my part to do it his way.

Yeah after reading all this

stuff from this site, dyd, and becomeaplayer.com I started wearing really nice collared shirts, nice shoes, I now

walk with a swagger, walk with head up eyes lowered and I now get tons of looks from girls when I walk through my

highschool. Body language is the key to everything! After I changed the way I act and dress it totally changed how

people looked at me. This one girl in my class always sits with her upper body pointed to me and stares at me all

the time. One time during class I just did a face like im bored and she did the same thing, upper body pointed to

me. Im not sure if that constitutes as body mirroring but it seemed like it was. She is hot as hell and I give her

absolutely no attention at all. Not sure how to approach her right now but ill run some IOI tests to see if she is

interested.
For anyone who wants to see if a girl likes you here are some tests:
1) Do something like look at

your watch, make a facial expression, etc and see if she does the same.
2) See where her upper body points
3) If

she is standing somewhere, get closer and see if she pushes away or holds her position.

Thats all I know for

IOI tests, if anyone knows anymore please share.

I think the two of you are African American, or some similar ethnic group. If

you're not, please let me know.

I make a point of that because I have only seen black guys pull off the pimp

walk successfully. Maybe there are other guys who can do it, but I think they would have to grow up doing it.

It's not something a white college boy can pick up (and I've seen far too many try to).

Yes. She was mirroring your expression.

Sounds like she is totally into you.

See if you

can torment her without treating her badly. Don't be disrespectful, but just sort of "let it dangle" in front of

her. That attitude. Notice her briefly, but say nothing.

Good tests. Some other things you can do include sipping a drink if you are

both holding one and she is looking your way; changing position slightly if she is already mirroring your posture;

giving her a quick, questioning look (just glance at her and raise your eyebrows).

The last example may elicit a

comment or question from her. Be ready to say something, or to just smile coyly and then move away.

Well, I was reluctant to make

any ethnic identifications, and it turns out I was wrong with both of you. :)

Let me just say that, if you

don't grow up practicing a certain natural body rhythm, trying to adapt to it later in life is very, very

difficult.

Body language speaks according to a rhythm we each develop, and that rhythm is culturally influenced,

perhaps even culturally defined. Your "culture" is the neighborhood you grow up in, not the country or tribe or

ethnic group you come from. Of course, there is a lot of similarity from neighborhood to neighborhood within the

same region, and so forth.

So, guys, what I am saying is, I have SEEN that pimp walk attitude, both from guys

who developed it naturally and from guys who thought they could just start doing it. The guys who thought they

could just start doing it didn't do it well at all.

On the other hand, like dancing or martial arts, if you

have someone who knows how to teach you show the ropes, then, yes, you could pick up a different rhythm in your body

language. You could start walking, talking, and acting like a whole different person in a very different style.



But there is more than one way to express that sexy confidence women like. I think it's easier for each guy to

look at his male friends, relatives, and associates who are successful with women and adapt those guys' traits

(unless you're thrown into a multicultural group, and then you have to figure it out on your own).

I hope that

makes better sense.

Also, I would say there are generational differences. Those of us in our 40s grew up with

different pop culture influences. MTV only barely went into broadcast production as I hit my 20s, so I wasn't very

exposed to whatever body language they started beaming to the youth of America at the time.

"I talk to ALL the chicks.

The fat ones, the old ones, and especially the ones that look like they're preoccupied.

One of the

oldest and best pieces of advice if you want to meet women. It sharpens your social skills, conversation skills,

reading of female facial and body language and tends to make everyone (at least women) like you. In turn you get

introduced to even more women and get the pick of the litter. But, sheesh, it's exhausting work, time consuming and

you better enjoy talking about nothing...

Geoggi I now have an idea

about most of your walk but could you take a moment to explain what your arms are doing. I find that when I started

to work on my posture and slowing down my walk that I really didn't have a good feel about what my arms should be

doing and as a matter of fact, I am still not too sure.

Gegogi
02-05-2005, 05:38 PM
I almost always have an

instrument or camera in hand. On the rare occasions my hand are free, I gently swing my arms. If you watch the basic

posture of ballet (even flamenco dancers do it) dancers impart a feeling of expanding the upper body: head raised

high, neck and back straight, shoulders back, etc. It's more of an artistic walk that matches my personality. A lot

of macho wantabes walk with their arms stiff and tense (so muscles stand out more?), almost as if they have their

finger on the trigger of a gun.

Friendly I have ordered all

the books you recommended and have gotten through two of them so far. For those of you who didn't read the

original body language thread here is a list of Friendly1's reccomendations. Thank you again Friendly!

Body

Language by Julius Fast. Not very detailed. This book is good for people who want to learn more about marking

turf than anything else. He spends a lot of the book talking about personal space and other kinds of space. You can

learn about dominating the regions around you.

How to read a person like a book by Gerald I. Neirenberg

and Henrey H. Calero. Extensively illustrated, this book covers basic gestures, posturing, and how to identify roles

within relationships (friends, lovers, bosses and subordinates, etc.). This book has some useful guidelines for

negatioting with other people, including tips for men on how to read women's receptiveness.

Body Language

Secrets by Susan Quilliam. Includes a lot of pointless or goofy illustrations, but it is broken up into a lot of

How-To sections which explain how you can work your way into new groups, new situations, etc. by employing skillful

body language.

Reading People by Jo-Ellen Dimitrius and Mark Mazzarella. Very good introduction to reading

people. She is a Ph.D. with extensive research experience. He is a successful trial attorney. She consults on jury

selection. She is a very detail oriented person and her perspective helps you realize how to look beyond the usual

signs people try to broadcast. It IS possible to lie through body language, but she holds that there are usually

tell-tale signs which contradict the lies.

Body Language Secrets by Don Steele. He is a retired

psychologist of some sort who worked with families and studied body language. This book is not nearly as good as it

is hyped up to be by Steele and his followers. But it is still a good introduction to the body language of meeting,

courting, and seducing people. He gives tips to both men and women. Includes many pictures of Steele and his wife.

Steele has a preachy, amateurish writing style. He claims to have had affairs with dozens of women many years

younger than him. He exudes confidence and is a dominant male. About half this book seems to be devoted to selling

you his other books. But he does go into details on how to send certain signals and provides many lists and

anecdotes on things to do, not to do in social situations.

Freeway of Love by Jan Latiolais Hargrave. This

is a dumbed-down, "What colour is your parachute" kind of book for people who want to learn about body language and

how to use it to meet and court other people. She relies on illustrations which are not quite as goofy as

Quilliam's book. She also has a lot of self-tests with scores. Many women writers like this sort of thing, and the

book may be more appealing to men. Nonetheless, it IS a woman's perspective on body language and men need to take

that into consideration. She provides chapters on palm reading and kissing (complete with statistics and

anecdotes).

I know what you're thinking by Lillian Glass. She is a practicing, clinical psychologist who

has had to rely on body language in many situations. Her book is, in my opinion, by far the best one out there that

I have found. She is not concerned with preaching "how to get into anyone's pants" or "how to find true love". She

takes you on a guided tour of the basic human psyche and how we reveal our inner feelings through the way we

physically express ourselves.

to provide a valid or probable inference. Generally speaking, it probably means she is holding herself back, trying

to maintain some sort of self-control. But you have to see what else is going on to figure out why she feels the

need to do that. It could be she is bored but wants to be lady-like. It could be she just had a big fight and

wants to calm down. It could be she is angry or frightened and wants to feel safe or in conrtol. It could be she

is so turned on she has to bury her hands to prevent herself from doing anything stupid in public (odds of that

being the case are probably 1 in 10,000,000,000).

Essential Body Language Tips

------------------------------

The

secrets of our body language have been around forever yet people constantly fail to recognize the importance of

using body language to their advantage. Did you know that people only pay attention to 7% of what we say? Where does

the rest of their attention go? You guessed it right: our body language. Now let me give my 7 BLT's so that you can

use your body language much more efficiently when interacting with people.

1- Always look at someone directly in

their eyes when they are speaking to you. This may seem difficult at first but it’s definitely the #1 body language

ingredient to make you successful when interacting with others. Note: Do not ever stare at someone.

2- Always

stand up straight. You never want to slouch. Not only does this make you appear shorter but it projects an image of

someone who has low self-esteem.

3- Smile. Smiling is your most powerful body language signal. Though it is not

recommended to smile constantly (people will be under the impression you are searching for approval), you

should
still make an effort to appear happy and optimistic.

4- Do not make repeated, nervous like gestures.

When speaking to someone it’s important to use body movements but never fast and repetitive ones (picture someone

who is nervous while public
speaking; this is exactly what you're NOT aiming for).

5- Create your own personal

space. Make sure you let others know you have your own personal space and do not let them walk all over you. Note:

you never want to invade someone else’s personal space.

6- Dedicate all of your attention to the person you are

speaking with. Do not constantly look around as if you are uncomfortable or not interested.

7- Make sure to

emphasize all of these tips when you meet someone new. First impressions count for a lot. You want to make the best

impression you can.

Most people are unaware of the way they are projecting themselves because in general, people

will detect body language signals subconsciously. Make an effort to apply all seven of these tips and people will

react differently when you are speaking to them.

Tips



------------------------------

3- Smile. Smiling is

your most powerful body language signal. Though it is not recommended to smile constantly (people will be under the

impression you are searching for approval), you should
still make an effort to appear happy and optimistic.

5-

Create your own personal space. Make sure you let others know you have your own personal space and do not let them

walk all over you. Note: you never want to invade someone else’s personal space.

In regards to number 3

it depends on your goal, there is something to be said for guys who smile little when meeting a woman because it

creates a little mystery. You can also use smiles to affirm good behavior when dating someone.

In regards to

number 5, yes have your own personal space but you do want to occasionally invade another person's (who your

interested in) personal space to see how they respond. If they pull back you moving too quickly, but if they allow

it then your doing just fine. Note: Don't do it for extended periods of time but rather just to gauge where you

are with the other sex unless of course you are getting intimate, then you have to be in their personal space. Also

personal space varies from culture to culture but I believe in America it's somewhere around 3 feet.

"5- Create your own

personal space. Make sure you let others know you have your own personal space and do not let them walk all over

you. Note: you never want to invade someone else’s personal space.

The concept and size of "personal

space" varies considerly from culture to culture. When visiting Japan and Korea I actually got angry because

strangers and acquaintances constantly invaded my personal space. Attractive women, little girls, old men, etc.,

didn't care if they touched or leaned on me in public or private places. It took a long time to get used to it.

They drive really close too.


"1- Always look at someone directly in their eyes when they are speaking

to you. This may seem difficult at first but it’s definitely the #1 body language ingredient to make you successful

when interacting with others.

In regards to eye contact, many Asians view this differently as well.

Making eye contact is considered rude, disrespectful or hostile in many situations. Living in Hawaii--a melting pot

of East and West--I experience the cultural-racial differences in eye contact customs everyday. Often White

Americans think Asians dislike them because they avoid eye contact (or suffer from low self-esteem!). Many Asians

think the Whites are disrespectful or overly aggressive! I've actually been called a banana because I walk, talk,

act and smell (the 'mones?) like a White guy (I'm Asian).

02-12-2005, 08:22 AM
The second

answer makes me wonder when you say women do that when they feel comfortable as I found myself doing that several

times last night.
Given the context of your question, I thought you wanted to know what it was most likely

to mean when a woman sits that way. I was simply pointing out that I don't remember what I was feeling when I used

to sit that way. If you, yourself, can still comfortably sit that way, then your own feelings are the best guide to

why a man sits like that.

Although I strive to stay physically fit, there are some positions that give me

discomfort, and that tends to be one of them. Of course, even when I was a kid, I didn't like sitting with my legs

crossed or on my knees for very long.

One leg crossed on top of the other is usually seen as a dominant gesture.

One leg crossed under the other is usually seen as a relaxed, comfortable gesture. But both body positions can

have other means, other significance.

If someone is hiding their hands or their feet, they are probably holding

in some strong feelings.

If someone is gripping a wrist or an ankle, they are probably feeling tense, maybe a

little uncertain, and are trying to brace themselves or ground themselves.

But none of these gestures, by

themselves, reveal enough about what is going on. For example, I sometimes sit with one leg crossed over the other

in cramped seating, and I'll grasp my ankle to make it easier to allow someone to pass by me. I may also do that

so I can massage my legs.

7 Essential Body Language

Tips



------------------------------

The secrets of our body

language have been around forever yet people constantly fail to recognize the importance of using body language to

their advantage. Did you know that people only pay attention to 7% of what we say?
I really wish you guys

would provide some attribution (a link) for these articles, rather than just post them in their entirety without any

credit.

I am SURE I have read that before somewhere on the Web. It is a very simple, generic introduction to

using body language to be more assertive. It is probably most useful in American business settings.

Gegogi is

very right about being careful when using body language to communicate to someone from another culture.

Because of these posts, I've been watching people a little more than normal. BL is scared into

my every thoughts when I'm out in public! :rant:

Last week, I went to my Community College's basketball game

... not to meet anyone, just to have something to do. I'm seating there watching the game, when I see one of my

female teachers walking on the other side, and takes a seat behind the team. No big deal. At half time, I go out to

the little boy's room. No big deal. Comes back, and the second half starts. Deep inside my mind, BODY LANGUAGE

says, "hey Mobley! Look over at your teacher and tell me what's odd out of all the people over there on that

side of the court."

I look over, and everybody's knees (about 40 people, sitting) are pointing

left, but my teacher's knees where pointed right, straight at me! She looked out of place, and it was sooooo

noticeable! What in the hell have you all done to me with all this body language talk!!? :think:

You know, there is this Asian

girl in those dance classes I help with. I emphasize her ethnicity because, when I first met her, a few months ago

(and we have probably said all of three sentences to each other), she was with an Asian guy. The way they behave

when they are together leads me to believe that he is her boyfriend. They both take the classes and they have just

joined the advanced group.

Well, this girl used to flirt with me when the boyfriend wasn't looking. But at some

point along the way, I apparently gave her some too-heavy criticism and she started avoiding me. She is really,

really cute and very curvacious and is just fun for a guy to look at. So, I backed off and eventually she started

looking, smiling, and primping again.

Now, because of what the Asians here (and some of my Asian friends have

told me offline) have said, I believe this girl (who still speaks, I think, Chinese with her boyfriend) is somewhat

traditional. That is, based on the way she behaves AND on what people have told me about traditional Asian girls, I

think she has truly given her heart to this boy.

Nonetheless, yesterday (Saturday) I was helping with an

intermediate class, and she and the boyfriend were in there, too. I am not sure if they are taking both classes (I

used to do that, so it's not all that strange) or if they were just helping. The difference between helping with a

class and taking a class is that if you are helping, you may not be included in partner rotations. In fact, the

teacher will ask helpers to leave if they are of the wrong sex. I get to stay because I help HER demonstrate AND I

can coach the students on some points.

So, there I was, helping with the rotation in this intermediate class,

and the cute Asian girl comes up in the rotation, all smiles and giggles. I was wearing 2-3 spritzes of Beta

Chikara, for those of you who want to know. Nothing else, but we HAD just finished the Advanced class, and so I was

a little sweaty.

Well, this intermediate class was learning how the man brings his partner around behind him and

then does a couple of side steps while holding the girl's hands on his hips.

You get all sorts of partners in

these classes. Skinny ones, fat ones, tall ones, short ones. They have different length arms.

I have danced with

this girl enough to know that her arms are just normal for her body size. She is almost as tall as me (which isn't

very tall). I mean, proportionately, she and I fit very well together.

Nonetheless, as I sweep her behind me,

and I notice that Boyfriend is in the front row on the far side of the room where he cannot see us, I suddenly enjoy

a headlight moment.

Yes, ladies and germs, she slammed her braless breasts into my back and rubbed me good. I

nearly jumped out of my shoes.

Temptation is not so near for me as it

might seem. I see most of these girls for precisely one hour per week. Some of them come out to the clubs. Some

of them help with classes or take makeups.

But there are days when I feel like a worker in a hamburger factory.

There are so many of them, and they come through so quickly, that only the really aggressive ones get much of a

chance with me.

So often during a rotation at the beginning of a month, I'll partner up with someone and

she'll say, "Hi! Remember me?"

And, of course, I don't, and I have to hear how they saw me or whatever in some

past lifetime that has long since passed.

And as soon as one makes her mark, even if I don't feel like I am

responding, the others lose interest. It's like, "Hey, let me TALK to someone without the rest of you thinking I

have chosen my life partner."

Sometimes they come back and flirt some more. One Asian girl has actually started

flirting with me again, now that she isn't seeing another girl hanging around me (she went overseas for a few

weeks).

I don't have the heart to tell these girls the one I am most interested in doesn't dance. I think

there must be something profound in that fact, but I have no idea of what it is....

I would say look for larger groups than 2. Think like 4 or more BL movements,

however that means that you need to know what your looking for. Your ideal scenario would be if you can observe

them from a distance without them knowing you exist, then move in and see the differences. The reason for this is

to tell if they are giving you signals or not, for example I know a couple of girls who twirl their hair all the

time no matter what they are doing. I misinterpretted that a while back when I first met one and didn't know the

rest of the signals to look for.

Friendly, How are

you able to tell that this was a signal vs her just being clumsy? I ask because it happens to me alot but I don't

know when it's accidental or on purpose. I know the obvious such as if they have 5 feet between you and the wall

and they still do it then it's on purpose but what about in crowded settings or things such as dancing?

Friendly,

How are you able to tell that this was a signal vs her just being clumsy?I've been taking the advanced

class for about two years (with a little break for when I went to Florida last year). The steps are hard to learn

and the teacher doesn't allow just anyone into the class.

Clumsy people don't make the cut.

Of course, the

fact that she kept doing it, and the fact that she didn't pull away, told me she enjoyed the sensation.



Remember, this is normally a girl who doesn't speak to me, who has in the past avoided having any contact with me

because of something I said or did (I don't know), and who is open, friendly, and affectionate ONLY with her

boyfriend. She doesn't socialize with the other students. I probably should have mentioned that, but I was trying

to convey, with my assessment of her as a traditional Asian girl, that I don't expect forward, aggressive,

American-style behavior from her.


...I ask because it happens to me alot but I don't know when it's

accidental or on purpose. I know the obvious such as if they have 5 feet between you and the wall and they still do

it then it's on purpose but what about in crowded settings or things such as dancing?When I am dancing in

closed position with beginners, the first contact with a woman's breast almost always feels accidental. It is a

very quick, light sensation where my hand accidentally brushes against the side of her breast. Those women/girls who

then do it to me again become more aggressive. They don't leave it at "just accidentally brushing the side of my

breast with your hand", they start moving into my personal space (breaking the frame), leaning in close, turning

awkwardly so that their breasts rub against my chest or my arm (or both, if they can manage it).

I find their

butts in my hand. I find them leaning into my back (literally leaning on me). I find them standing so close to me

that our arms touch and if one of us turns close to the other, I am in her chest.

Women are very protective

about their personal space. They don't just let any guy feel them. So, after the first contact, if it keeps

happening, I assume she is enjoying herself and maybe trying to get a rise out of me.

But short of asking her

and getting an honest answer from a girl, in most cases, I am only able to infer that she is doing it

deliberately.

I often find myself moving backwards in these dance classes as they try to close distance with me.

Sometimes, I don't mind the closeness. But it depends on how bad their breath is (and some of them could knock rats

off a trash barge at fifty feet), how strong their body odor is, how cute they are, how attached they may be to that

guy staring at me from the corner, etc.

There is another Asian lady in the advanced class who has been coming on

to me for months. She is absolutely gorgeous and, so far as I know, she is not involved in a relationship. She has a

son she seems to share custody of with the father, as I only see him on rare occasions.

She rubs up against me,

offers to undress, tells me in double entendre that she would sleep with me, has complained about my not asking her

to dance, etc. I have written about her before. One night, I moved around the classroom as she was talking to

another man. No matter where I stood, she pointed her feet toward me.

But she never goes anywhere alone. She has

a dance partner from another class and he is always with her. So, either she wants me to ask her out (not going to

happen) or she just loves to flirt and to flirt physically.

It just gets to a point where you are so used to

feeling women rub against you, and making suggestive statements, that you assume they really ARE doing it to YOU.



I try to tune it out as much as I can, especially in the dance classes, but I also try to pay attention to who is

interested. I have spent some time with a few of the girls, and you never know, I may meet someone special in one of

these classes.

Still, there are moments when they surprise me, like this girl did when she rubbed up against me.

I guess she just wanted to enjoy the sensation of rubbing her nipples across my back.

What if it happens only once. For

facing her and can make eye contact of course?

I have noticed that when I am in a bar women do this alot when

going through the crowd. (yeah I know you can mention lack of space) If it's real crowded they have to turn one

way or the other and over 90% of the time they choose to rub on me vs the guy or girl on the other side.

Copied from another thread that went off topic.

I've started to pay attention to

BL too because of all this. The other night at a bar, there was a girl who was sitting all different from the rest,

she was with her friends at the actual bar, and she was seated with her body pointed toward me.

I would not have

picked up on this but I thought she was affected because of what I thought was eye contact.

Then I noticed her

stroking her straw up and down like a penis :lol: I never would have seen this had it been for the obvious eye

contact. She kept turning to look at me - did so about 20-25 times within the span of an hour (nuts right?).



Actually when I did make eye contact, she immediately turned rght to the bar, and then her back was toward me.

Eventually she shifted her position again. I interpreted it as her shyness of course.

About not breaking eye

contact, I get that alot...but what does it mean when YOU are first looking at them, and then they look right back

at you w/o breaking eye contact?

About clothing.. Apperently I

dress so good, girls ask me if I'm gay because of it. Knowing a little fashion goes along way with the ladies, and

they are supprised when I say I'm not. It's a huge advantage over about 90% of the guys in my school who don't.

Just watch yourself. It sais so many things about you to a girl. And I don't dress with the trend or the hollister

abercrombie craze. That's not what I'm talking about, you have to go above that. I just dress how I like and what

I think is cool. Even if it's not the "cool" thing, if I like it, I do it. And most of the time people thing it's

cool and I standout and other people start following MY trend.

First off normal eye's on an interested girl go lock this. They meet your gaze, then look

down, then away, and finally they look back usually within 10 secs.
Uninterested girls don't meet your eyes, but

if they do they will look to the side instead of down and not look back in a few secs (unless they are paranoid of

you like your a stalker or something).

Now take that into account and see what happens next time you have

prolonged eye contact. I wouldn't hold their eyes for any more than 3 secs, but watch out of the corner of your

eye to see if they look right back. If they do your definitely in. Also watch for the rest of the cluster of BL

such as pointing, hair flipping (pruning), stroking etc... Put it all together and only you will know the answer to

each case by case scenario.

When in doubt, move. Do something different. Or do the same thing again. Give her an

opportunity to confirm your first instinct.

Maybe. I guess it is just the fact that I am the one starting the eye contact that has me not sure what the deal

investigating me or my intentions.

Some girls know how to flirt

better than others. The ones who don't look down and away first, but who are interested, can be a little clumsier

or a little more blatant. But they will still do certain things subconsciously: they'll look at you, they'll face

you with their bodies, they'll try to be near you, they'll give you opportunities to speak to them.

If she

doesn't want to be near you, she'll do whatever she can to avoid you.

If she is just feeling uncomfortable,

all you need to do (usually) is back off, leave her alone, ignore her, and she may decide to come back. Sometimes,

they have to build up their courage and confidence as much as or more than we do. And that doesn't necessarily

mean they have unusually low self-esteem or anything like that.

Men are expected to be more forward and

aggressive in expressing their interest than women. The women most likely to be forward and aggressive are the ones

with sexual experience. They feel their power.
