BODY LANGUAGE

Body Language,
Between men and women

Men and Women are from different planets they say, the lack of understanding and communication between these two species are so limited you tend to think we speak different languages. Well there is one language that both sexes display that are completely different and that’s called Body Language. Body language is the key to understanding each other. Men tend to portray three behavioural features and that is confidence, dominance, and assertiveness. Women on the other hand are quite different, they like to show nurturing behaviours, such as letting our feelings come through and showing our emotions and how we feel. Most men say what they mean and hopefully mean what they say. Their speech is straightforward and to the point. Women, on the other hand, are generally more complex and subtle, especially when it comes to conversation. For example, you’ll ask a man how his day was and he would answer simply by saying “Good” or “Tiring” or so on, sometimes if he wants to be descriptive he’ll tell you about it in a sentence. Go ahead and ask a women that same question, but get comfortable, because you’ll be in for the story of your life. Men will rarely give you compliments, instead there more likely to say a joke. Women, on the other hand, love to give you compliments and some of them will rarely joke. Men adore speaking about their achievements and successes. Women are sometimes not as fond of speaking much about their abilities, but about other things they have done. Women are more sensitive than men, and can be easily hurt by rude and impolite comments. Men face difficulties, while speaking about their inner feelings, but on the other hand women love speaking there opinions and there feelings. When talking to a women, body language is very important. They can instantly pick up by your body language if your listening or not. They especially don’t like it when you sit there and fidget while she is trying to have a conversation with you. Join into her conversation and really try to see where she’s coming from. In our society it is not usual that a women will tell a man straight out that she is interested in him, instead they use there body language to give out the sign that there attracted to them. Women who are trying to get a man's attention are easy to point out, even from across the room; virtually every aspect of their body language changes drastically. For starters, they lean toward the man they are trying to attract and they frequently make eye contact. They laugh more often than usual and smile constantly, regardless of whether or not the guy is funny. They chew on their lips and their faces are more animated. Flirtatious women also tend to fidget more. For example, they might fiddle with their jewellery, twisting rings and tugging at necklaces. This is due to nervous excitement; because their hearts are beating a little faster than usual, they need some sort of outlet for their tension.

Body language is key for both men and women. With out it you would not be able to understand each other.
