Body Language: All eyes on his feet!

Body language. When we talk about non-verbal body language, we pay much attention to the expression of the face, eyes and hands, but feet we, for some reason, unjustly offended. And in vain!

The farther away from the brain is part of your body, the harder it is to control. If a person can adapt and to represent him on the face of the desired emotion and more or less control over their hands, the feet are forgotten about and they give us a head.

"If you are not sure if a person says, sitting at the table, the truth, look under the table."
Allan Pease "The new body language"

So let's go through the basic postures of the legs. I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that women and men are different movements.

treacherous feet

The input of a number of experiments, the authors brought out an interesting relationship. People regardless of age and sex, lying, unconsciously begin to move your feet (swung, twisted, pulled, etc.).

Four basic standing position

1. Attention

This position means that you listen and the source is likely below you in rank. Usually because students are the teachers and subordinate to his superiors.

2. spaced legs

This posture predominantly male. In this position, a man firmly on the ground and feels confident.

3. One leg is exposed forward

According to this position is very easy to determine the intentions of the person. Usually, in what direction is directed sock in the other side of a person intends to move. Being in the company, we will send a sock on the most pleasant companion for us. And if a person feels uncomfortable, then exposed sock feet, is likely to be directed to the nearest exit.

4. Crossing of the legs

Crossed arms and legs are almost always an indication that people from all closed and entered in a protective pose. Until such a person is difficult to reach, and it is unlikely to easily accept your arguments.

If the faces and voices of people conversing are calm and friendly, but the arms and legs crossed, in fact they are not so trust each other, they want to show outwardly.

Also, such a position is usually taken in a society unfamiliar people. You can spend an interesting experiment - to approach a group of strangers and become the next in a defensive posture. Almost immediately after that, people will cross his hands one by one. This position is highly contagious and passes a certain anxiety and a sense of danger.

Frozen or took a defensive position?

Interpret body language should always be in the context. Sometimes people justify their crossed arms and legs so that they are cold or want to use the toilet. In some cases this is true, and in some they just hide behind the convenient explanation.

In fact, if a person is really cold, it is not only crossed his arms, but zapryachet fingers under currently under the mouse, not just the girth of their elbows. We also cross our legs, but at the same time trying to straighten them and press tightly against each other. The defensive posture is more relaxed and calm.

If a person says that he just so convenient stand, most likely, he almost always feels as if around some enemies.

"American Quartet"

This pose is peculiar to men. Sitting in this position a person is perceived not only as a masterful and energetic, but also as more youthful. Sitting in this position a person is likely to consider themselves above you and is unlikely to immediately agree with your point of view.

If we accept this position and the person is still fixes the raised leg hands, which means that it is determined to stand his ground and will do its utmost to resist the pressure from the outside.

Studies have shown that most people take a final decision in those moments when both feet firmly on the ground. So do not rush to the other party to make a decision, if one of his soles are not touching the floor.

crossbreeding ankle

Crossed ankles indicate that your partner suppresses a negative emotions and disagreement and trying to cope with them. This gesture can be equated with a biting his lips.
Usually people are sitting so at the reception of dentists, lawyers, and tax inspectors.

Syndrome Short Skirt

Usually so sitting girls who wear mini skirts. Despite its length, it gives women unapproachable and not very friendly look, as you have all the time to sit, tightly clenched legs. People subconsciously interpret this gesture as a negative, and relate to the other person with care.

Intertwined legs

This is a purely feminine gesture. Usually so twisted legs modest and diffident girl. It is unlikely that there will suit strong pressure. In order to talk with such a person, you need to be open and friendly.

Parallelism

Looking at this picture, I immediately think of "Basic Instinct" and sitting in a chair Sharon Stone. This landing is considered very feminine, and 86% of men considered it the most attractive. So learn to sit models.

Right foot forward, right foot back

Man given legs to perform two basic operations - catch prey and escape from danger. If a person is interested in you, during the conversation, he put his right foot forward (left-hander is likely to expose the left) in order to shorten the distance between you. If he will not be set to the conversation, it is likely to sweep away your right leg back as if preparing to retreat.

Finally! Council business ladies - do not cross your legs at business meetings, if you are wearing a skirt, opening the hips. View of female hips able to initiate almost any man. As a result, it will remember your hips, but not the topic of conversation.

And men should be more reserved and do not fall apart on the chairs, legs spread apart. More appropriately be restrained posture with knees information.
