Do y'all really think body-language tells are all bullshit? I'm beginning to think everyone on lemmy is 14-yo and autistic. Does no one understand context?!
Yes, arms crossed is usually a defensive posture, they're not liking what you're saying.
Yes, eyes averted is a tell for being uninterested or dishonest.
Yes, tilting one's head means they're open to listening, defenses down.
Freebie: If a girl smiles at you with her mouth closed: friendly. Showing teeth? Happy to be speaking to you. (A woman taught me that, say what you will.)
Of course there aren't hard and fast rules, but yeah, most body language means what it means. (Depending on culture and 100 other context items.) Fuck me, how do you people watch movies? Does the actor's body language leave you confused?
Do you know about the unconscious finger hair twist?
If I'm talking to a girl, and given context, I assume she's into me and nervous about it.
What's your thought?
Exactly right. Sometimes I see women do it unconsciously while walking past. I am monogamous with my wife but it makes me feel good. People decide if they would be willing to have sex with one another in the first five seconds. Not that they would all act on it, far from it. It's a nearly unconscious decision process that ends in a finger hair curl sometimes.
The sex thing, DAMN! Yes, we size each other up in seconds, doesn't even register consciously, just, "Yep. I'd hit that."
Weird that this thread acts like body language is all bullshit. VERY weird. I think it's a lot of young people who got fucked over by COVID.
Here's a fascinating discussion:
Truly fascinating, thanks. I have three Gen Z niblings. I thought they were bad but not nearly on the level of what's being described there.
One thing I really like about Gen Z is that it seems to be cool to be smart, not the other way around like it was when I was in school.
