The Basics of Body Language

Long before cavemen made the leap from grunting to speech, human beings were using body language.  Body language has been the most basic means of sharing information among humans for millenia.  Even in today’s world of champion crossword tournaments and 20-plus pound dictionaries, body language accounts for a startling amount of our interpersonal communication–according to some researchers, as much as 80%.

Naturally, body language can be an effective tool for creating attraction with women.  As David DeAngelo demonstrates in this video, there are specific techniques for conveying the attributes you want women to notice in you–confidence, charisma, and above all, masculinity.  Here are a few of them.

Body languages DOs…

Let’s start with the face.  A serious expression seems to be your best bet; a furrowed brow and a slight squint.  Try not to smile too much–a big, dumb grin will lose you a lot of serious points.  Better to have a kind of sarcastic smirk; this betrays good humor without making you look like a doofus.

Eye contact suggests interest, so try to avoid it.  If you remember from our other videos, you don’t want to seem too interested in a girl you’re first meeting.  At the same time, however, you don’t want to ignore her completely, or look around constantly, as though distracted.  Instead, try to gaze off in another direction, glancing her way occasionally, but only for a second or two at a time.  This will keep her guessing as to your level of interest, which will in turn make her more curious about you.

As for the rest of the body, it’s all about relaxation.  Not that you should slouch forward, which will make you look self-conscious or uncomfortable.  Instead, lean back, keep your head up and your shoulders down.  Clasp your hands in your lap, or keep them on your thighs (NOT your knees–this looks kind of jittery).  You’re trying to look confident, self-assured, a little cocky, and in total control of the situation.  Imagine a king on a throne; now imagine him after a big meal, and you’re getting close.

…and DON’Ts

On a similar note, you’ll want to avoid certain types of body language.  The audience members in the video seem to agree that crossing one’s legs comes across as effeminate.  If you must cross your legs, by all means, avoid the knee-over-knee pose, as this looks downright womanly.

Sitting up straight can give a lot of different impressions, including nervousness, tension, and prudishness.  These effects are even stronger if you hold your legs close together.  Lean back, and give your boys some breathing room.

These body language tips are a great starting point; use them, and you’re guaranteed to look the part of a true PUA.  But body language alone won’t get you through your first encounter with the woman of your dreams; for that, you’ll need to pick up some info on subjects like behavior, conversation, and attitude.  And what better place for that than our Members’ Section?  We’ve got tons of great videos to guide you from the first impression all the way through to the last.  So don’t settle for looking the part:  be the part.  Sign up today!
