The Eyes (Part I) Called the "window of the soul" for a reason, the eyes don't reveal everything… but they are very expressive! The way a person looks at someone reveals a lot… and the intensity and direction of their stare can reflect a person's thoughts. Let's look at different scenarios: - Glancing sideways --> could show romantic interest, flirting in a subtle way - Glancing for a prolonged period of time, intermittently but repetitively --> sexual attraction, lust if in the distance --> interest in the conversation if face to face while one of you is talking - Staring hard without interruption at all --> invasive and threatening (usually accompanied by small pupils) - Gazing up and down --> appraisal of sexual attraction - this is true for both men and women, though women are usually more discreet! - Avoiding gaze --> could be lying, or feeling guilty or uncomfortable about the subject discussed. If they are looking away after a long gaze, it could just mean they are "taking a rest", or distancing themselves from the subject. - Gazing regularly --> positive, inviting attitude - open to communicate with you Blinking - Prolonged blinking (as if blinking in slow motion) --> losing interest (or feeling very sleepy! )- often accompanied by a raised eyebrow. To maintain your influence, change the conversation quickly or ask a question to get them to refocus. - Excessive blinking --> showing romantic interest (if their pupil is dilated) --> sign of stress --> could be lying - Rolling the eyes upwards --> disagreement (or exasperation if very obvious). My best advice if you spot this signal: stop and ask for their opinion... and listen to them! Eye Contact You've heard this before… To make people feel good and show your interest, you must maintain eye contact. But staring only at someone's eyes makes it very difficult to maintain your gaze. The easiest way to maintain eye contact naturally is to look at the person's whole face above the tip of their nose - see the picture below. Look at the bridge of their nose, cheek bones, forehead, hair. How to keep eye contact Want To Know For Sure...? The Golden Rule of Reading Body Language: Look for at least another 2 or 3 signals with the same possible meaning - in different areas of their body or communication. Want to be even more sure?

The Mouth When you meet someone for the first time, it takes that person 3 to 7 seconds to make her judgement about you. I do it. You do it. We all do it… Unconsciously. Basically, we decide how comfortable we are with that person. Remember, we are wired for self-preservation. In a nutshell… - perception of a possible pain/danger from that person = not very comfortable - perception of safety = comfortable. Once that first assessment is made we adapt our feelings, posture, language, and tone. These first few seconds alone can make or break a relationship whether when influencing someone in a sales or presentation situation, or when flirting with a man or a woman... And the most crucial body language signal to influence our first impression is the smile. This is also the most recognised signal in every country and every culture. The Smile Smiling indicates happiness… and a friendly attitude... Smiling indicates we want to communicate with someone. It shows interest. But there is much more to it… Smiling is a learned phenomenon. Young babies don't smile naturally. They mimic the expressions of those looking at them… But by the time we reach adulthood, it has become a signal critical to making a good first impression. Smiling also has an actual impact on your physiology… We'll look at that in a moment. First, let's look at the 2 main types of smile… - The Genuine Smile A genuine smile involves the whole face including the eyes… More than just the mouth, many facial muscles are in action. The most visible is the tightening around the eyes. This action around the eyes is extremely difficult to fake and is the main signal you want to look at if you think somebody might not be telling you their real feelings. - The Forced Smile Usually used out of politeness... People who put on a smile only use the muscles around the mouth. But the top half of their face remains virtually unchanged. Their smile is also less likely to be showing their teeth. This smile could mean the person is not telling the whole truth. Do not fake a smile. Research shows that a large majority of people unconsciously recognise the sincerity of your smile simply looking at the top half of your face. Body Language: Genuine or Forced Smile? The easiest way to put on a genuine smile is to use your imagination… A few seconds before approaching someone, imagine having a really good time with this person. Or recall a recent situation when you really had a great connection with someone you had just met… this will recall the feelings you had at the time and will naturally make you smile. How does this work?... The Physiology of a Smile In a nutshell, when you smile, your body releases endorphins. Endorphins send a message to your brain that makes you feel good… confident… satisfied. Test it for yourself… try to smile and feel sad at the same time. Your natural reaction when someone is smiling at you is to smile back (remember, you learnt this as a baby). But there is much more to it… When you smile at someone, they tends to smile back at you - partially unconsciously… and endorphins get released in their body. So, thanks to the endorphins, what their unconscious mind memorizes about you is "this person makes me feel good" - a great way to break her skepticism and make them trust you. Now, you see why smiling first is essential and how it can help you greatly when trying to influence someone, or trying to seduce a man or a woman! Quick summary: - Closed lip smile --> a fake smile to be polite, or the person is embarrassed by their teeth (this applies to many more people than you may think) - Whole face smile --> a genuine smile, indicating honesty and openness to communication - Covering the mouth (or parts of the face) --> while you are talking, they could be surprised by what you said --> when they are talking, they could be lying or uncomfortable with the conversation The Lips - Puckered --> tasted something sour or recalling a similar feeling --> sexual interest - Pursed --> worried --> disapproval - Swished (when you are talking) --> listening to you carefully --> thinking about what to say next - Lip biting --> nervous habit showing anxiety --> anger - Looking at your lips --> if intensely, finding it difficult to understand you --> if someone of the opposite sex is looking at your lips frequently, they are unconsciously assessing the pleasure they would get if they were kissing you… If you notice other signs of romantic interest in their body language, you may want to flirt back… Want To Know For Sure...?

The Hands - Hiding their hands --> not inclined to communicate --> secretive, possibly lying - Touching your face while kissing --> genuine romantic interest, slow seduction - Open hand wave --> inviting, welcoming - Thumbs --> superiority When someone has their hands are in the pockets, leaving the thumbs out, it shows confidence, they probably feel superior. The Handshake The position of the hands while shaking hands is very revealing of how a person is feeling towards you. Your handshake can also help you seduce men or women and influence others. - Alpha male handshake: palm facing down (usually at a 45 degree angle) --> domination - Bone-crunching --> enthusiasm or domination - Limp --> doesn't like being touched or submissive - Double handshake It is a sort of mini embrace --> friendly --> invitation to trust or intimacy Subtly use the double handshake if you are trying to influence someone, or to seduce a man or a woman. When shaking their hand , briefly brush the back of their hand to effectively create a double handshake for a split second. At an unconscious level, this creates a much stronger bond between you and research shows that it makes the person trust you and like you more. Want To Know For Sure...?

The Arms - By the side and away from the body --> confident, strong - Closed, crossed --> uninviting --> protective - Touching someone's arm --> sympathy --> subtle invitation to trust or intimacy You can subtly influence people and seduce men or women using this. Just as brushing someone's hand (see Hands), touching someone's arm makes them more likely to trust you and like you. The Legs - Swagger (men), or discreet swishing hip walk (women) --> seductive, subtle flirting - Crossed over the knee or at the ankle --> relaxed, but not completetly at ease Ankle crossing over the knee (mainly men) --> confidence, arrogance or assertiveness - Leg twine (women) --> physical attraction - Uncrossed legs, slightly open --> inviting body language, open to communication - Touching their thigh --> usually unconsciously, sign of attraction (of course this does not apply if the person is walking or dancing) - Hands in front of groin or chest area --> closed pose, protective, defensive, not at ease The Feet In a nutshell, our feet point in the direction our mind wants to go. - Jiggling or Tapping --> nervous gesture or bored (this is not necessarily a sign of irritation as you might sometimes hear) - Turned in your direction --> interested in you If you are trying to influence someone, or to seduce a man or a woman, consciously point your feet towards that person. - Turned towards the door --> lack of interest, impatient to get out (avoid this position when trying to influence someone!)
