It would have been interesting to hear what a woman who understands body language said about that some girl.<br /><br />It would be interesting to ask that man how the woman would behave differently if she was NOT trying to attract attention. What would she have done differently if she just wanted to talk privately to someone on the phone.

Being a good body language or social reader means to have (total) control on emotions, instincts, prejudices and urges which might emerge while observing subject(s).Sachchidanand R.

I also study nonverbal communication as well as personality psychology, human motivation, etc. <br />I loved your article because of you description of this "Experts" demeanor. We can draw many conclusions about a person by their words and actions. Body language to me is a useful tool to understand people’s motivations. Motivation is what truly fascinating to me. <br />While I can only read your words and I was not there to observe this myself, I agree with you. It seems to me that the man you are writing about here was making an attempt to cover up his own feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy in his biased view of the woman he was observing. <br />I have also found pride to be fascinating in my personal study. As you have pointed out, sometimes experts become too sure of their own abilities. An over inflated ego or pride sneaks up on even the expert rather easily. We sometimes assume we are, "an expert" or "the best." When we let pride go too far, it blinds us to our own flaws. When pride sets in, we lose our ability to refute our own incorrect thoughts. We simply accept the first thought we have as the truth of the situation. Even the expert who gives into pride will make more errors than the average observer. <br />A true expert remains humble in their observations, knowing he may can make mistakes like anyone else. <br />http://attraction-body-language-of-men.com/ Brett Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415619331849524109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340452591321227140.post-7807725462604247182015-01-19T14:31:32.166+05:302015-01-19T14:31:32.166+05:30A single clue or multiple isolated clues should ha...A single clue or multiple isolated clues should hardly be trusted.
