What do men think about?Oh, girls, how we would like to know the answer to this question! And we know that most often men lie to us consciously or unconsciously, and we still believe them. Naive! Of course, we ourselves are not sinless and often lie, not telling the whole truth or desperately hiding it. But for any person who can read the body language of his or her interlocutor, the true meaning of the words and intentions of the interlocutor will always be clear. Are you surprised? In vain. A person’s movements, facial expressions and gestures often carry much more information than what he or she says out loud. Even a person who speaks practically without emotion will give away his or her state with body movements and gestures. By the way, sign language is almost universal in relation to the behavior of men and women. Head and hand movements are certainly individual, and the set of male and female gestures is very different. However, no matter how different the gestures are, they are similar. For example, any woman who is preening herself will first of all start fixing her hair. A similar gesture from a man would be to straighten his tie or shake invisible dust off the shoulder of his jacket or shirt. So what is sign language, and how can we understand a person's body language? Let's try to figure it out.
What is body language?
When we interact with other people, weWe constantly exchange wordless signals. Body language is as rich as our speech. All our non-verbal signals – our gestures, body position, how fast or loud we speak, how close we come to the person we are talking to – give an attentive observer much more information about us than we can imagine. It is not for nothing that psychology studies body language so closely. An experienced psychologist, observing the signals of your body, will always be able to understand what is hidden in the depths of your soul, even if you are silent or talking about something completely different. Want an example? We were all taught as children how to properly hold cutlery in our hands. However, each person holds a knife, fork and spoon in their own way when eating. You can tell a lot about a person by looking at how he holds a fork or spoon in his hand. If someone holds a fork a little closer to the middle, then you can say about him - this is a person of a broad nature, very sociable and friendly. The one who holds the device closer to the end of the handle is a very temperamental and even somewhat tough person. Like this: a person eats silently, but you only need to take one look at his hands - and a lot about him becomes clear without words. "Reading" and understanding people by the signals that their body gives is an art that can be useful in life. Well, learning to understand the body language of guys is a whole separate topic. What woman would not want to understand what thoughts are actually hidden in the head of the man talking to her? If women are more expressive and open by nature, then men, as a rule, try to hide their true feelings.
How to learn to read sign language?
What do gestures actually “tell” us?men, and how to learn to read them? Body language is, by and large, the language of hidden emotions. To learn to understand the subconscious information of movements, facial expressions and gestures, you just need to carefully observe a person. Most often, a person does not watch his gestures, and sometimes is simply unable to control the language of his body movements and facial expressions. No, no, of course, we try to control ourselves, but it is the movements that we do not control that can give away our true mood and state. For example, a person who is consciously telling a lie will subconsciously try to cover his mouth with his hand. And this movement can be veiled and expressed in periodic touching of the hand to the nose or to the corner of the mouth. And if the person you are talking to believes that you are telling him a lie, then he will subconsciously try to plug his ears. Naturally, you will not see such movements, but the interlocutor will touch his earlobe or rub his temple. In short, watch how a person behaves during a conversation. Of course, it will take a lot of time to learn the language of movements, because entire textbooks and courses in practical psychology are devoted to this. However, a mini-course that will help you understand the language of movements, hidden emotions and true intentions of a man can be taken right now. In order to read the language of a man's body, you need to focus on the most insignificant gestures and actions that will reveal to us the secret of a man's thoughts. Are you ready? Then let's begin.
Look at the face
Naturally, during the conversation, we lookinterlocutor in the eyes. But do not forget that, although the eyes are the mirror of the soul, they will not reflect hidden emotions. Therefore, we look at other parts of the face. What does it mean when his pupils dilate? Oh, this is the surest sign that you arouse his interest. Moreover, the man, in all likelihood, is experiencing arousal. However, we are talking about a situation when the man is not under the influence of any other stimulants besides your beauty. Note that dilated pupils can be evidence of both sublime and base emotions. So do not be deceived and do not drown in such eyes-whirlpools. What does it mean if he does not look you in the eyes There are two options: if a man looks away and directs his gaze to the floor, then, most likely, he is lying to you. Or he is very embarrassed by you. If his gaze is directed at you, but periodically “runs away” from his face to the décolleté line, then be sure - the man is sexually interested in you. What does it mean when he licks his lips? You've seen it in cartoons: when a cat is about to pounce on a mouse, it first licks its lips, right? In humans, it means pretty much the same thing. When we see something we really want, we involuntarily lick our lips in anticipation of what we want. We get a little nervous if the wait drags on; the salivary glands stop secreting, the lips dry out, and we lick them. What does it mean when he raises his eyebrows? The meaning of this gesture depends on how exactly a man raises his eyebrows. Raised eyebrows can mean surprise or skepticism. But if he raised his eyebrows quickly and literally for a second - you're lucky! Especially if these eyebrow movements are accompanied by a smile. This means that you are quite attractive in his eyes.
Look at the body
Rarely does a man freeze into a pillar of saltwhen talking to a woman. It is natural that he will change positions and make some movements. The position of his body and the movements of his torso during a conversation can also say a lot about the attitude and condition of a man. What does it mean when he fidgets in his chair? He cannot sit still and takes hunched positions? Usually this means that something is wrong with him, he wants to stop talking and leave the room. There is another option: a man will do this if he is sexually aroused, and hunched positions and numerous movements are an elementary attempt to hide an erection. What does it mean if he rocks while talking? Psychologists agree: when a man rocks from heel to toe and from toe to heel during a conversation, he is not confident in himself. Or in what he is talking about. These movements seem to comfort him, imitating the rocking of a baby in a cradle or in the womb. It's a completely different matter if a man speaks while standing up and swaying on his toes - these movements indicate that he is pleased and even happy. What does it mean when he stands or sits with his legs wide apart? This is one of the most important gestures in the male body language. Wide-spread legs seem to say: "I am an alpha male!" A man may even think that this appearance of him turns you on.
Look at the hands
Hand movements are one of the most eloquentmeans of body language. It is the hand movements that most often give away a man’s intentions and reveal the true essence of his emotions. What does it mean if he gestures with his hands? Men who talk while gesturing and waving their hands are usually very communicative. The more active the gestures, the wider the hand movements, and the more often he does them, the more he likes you. What does it mean when he runs his fingers through his hair? Birds in the wild smooth and preen their feathers to look better in front of a potential partner. In human body language, this line has the same meaning. If he tilts his head slightly forward and gently runs his fingers along the roots of his hair, passing the hair between his fingers and combing it, then such movements signal that the man wants to please you. But if he does this as soon as he sees you, then this means that he is nervous about how he looks. Either way, it is a good sign for you. What does it mean when he strokes his face? Three cheers for such a man! If he touches his face or runs his fingers over his cheeks while listening to you, it is not to try to impress you. Such movements mean that the man is listening to you very carefully and is trying to understand the meaning of what you are saying. This is a good sign that the man takes you seriously. What does it mean when he extends his hand to you? When a man extends his hand to you, he is asking your permission: "I want to be close to you, can I?" The nuances are important here, it is important how exactly he moves his hand, whether he feels vulnerable or confident. If the hand is slightly turned with the palm up, it means that he would like you to take the initiative in getting closer - this is a gesture of submission and innocence. If the hand is turned with the palm down, then he wants to be in control of what is happening on his own.
Kissing
No, no, we will not consider technology.kisses that have a pronounced sexual connotation. Let's consider situations with kisses that are not love kisses, but other kisses. What does it mean when he kisses you on the cheek? This is a sign of friendly disposition. A man sees you, first of all, as a pleasant conversationalist and a person with whom he finds it interesting to spend time. However, this does not indicate his sexual coldness. If he kisses you on the cheek at the beginning of your acquaintance, it means that he intends to continue the relationship and even make it closer. But gradually. This, we note, is a good sign. If a man kisses your hand... A kiss on the hand can be an element of politeness and a manifestation of tender feelings. Unfortunately, there are not so many men who kiss women's hands now. Therefore, such behavior of a man on the first dates speaks of his special upbringing and dandy character. If a man with whom you have been close for a long time kisses your hands, then this is a sign of special tenderness that your man will feel for you - he is simply overwhelmed with a lot of tender emotions and tremulous feelings. Believe me, such behavior is worth a lot! Kiss on the temple Akin to a fatherly kiss. A man kissing you on the temple, in addition to tender emotions, feels a sense of responsibility for you along with a sincere friendly disposition. He loves you and worries about you, and his feeling of being in love coexists perfectly with the need for patronage. What does it mean when he kisses you on the forehead? Psychologists confidently call this gesture "parental". The man likes you, he worries about you and is ready to take care of you, but ... he sees you only as a friend. Ugh, this is what we were afraid of! But, on the other hand, this can also mean that he is literally smitten with you, but he does not have the courage to kiss you on the lips. Don't forget that your body also reveals your emotions and feelings. Try to control yourself and avoid obviously provocative poses. Remember that flirting should be easy. Try not to lie or fantasize (your body will give you away anyway). And even better - be sincere, then your words and silent signs of the body will be quite harmonious. However, for us this is quite natural. But what men say is very often significantly different from what they think or feel. Therefore, you should not rely only on words. A man's movements, gestures and facial expressions reveal his hidden thoughts and feelings much better. Therefore, not what he says, but what he does - really matters! We recommend reading:
