      Body Language and Relationships - Adams Media

      Introduction

      Imagine a world where you’re never misunderstood, where you never send or receive mixed messages, where you never have to backtrack and say, Hey, that’s not what I meant!

      Some people view body language as a luxury, something they’ll learn about if and when they have the time. These same folks would probably be surprised to learn that experts estimate that a full two-thirds of communication is nonverbal. (Makes learning body language seem like a bit more of a necessity, doesn’t it?) So when you are speaking with someone, you’re not just processing what they’re saying, you’re subconsciously picking up on their movements as well. If their actions jive with their words, then you’re likely to decide — again, subconsciously — that this person is on the up-and-up. If something is off between someone’s words and movements, however, there’s a good chance that you’ll hold that person at arm’s length, possibly without realizing why.

      Most people want to learn body language for a specific event in their life, like a job interview, a first date, or turning the tables on a big old liar. But what you learn about nonverbal communication can be used in all kinds of situations, from work to school to interacting with your neighbors. It’s one thing to know how to charm people with your words; fortifying those words with the right unspoken cues really sells you and your personality to the people around you.

      Reading body language can help you navigate your way around almost any situation where you feel you need a key or legend to understand the other person’s intention. Think of the information in this book as your Rosetta Stone for decoding your interpersonal relationships. In this book, you’ll find every motion and gesture you’ll need to know in order to understand what’s really going on in the world around you.

      Love at First Sight

      Chapter 1

      Physical Beauty and Attraction

      Does love at first sight really exist, or is that a myth perpetuated on physical attraction? While the statistics are hazy on how many long-term relationships began with a single glance across a crowded room, body language can certainly add or detract from the message you’re sending out to potential mates. Whether you appear approachable or standoffish, for example, can matter far more than whether you’re the most beautiful person on the face of the earth.

      Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder

      Wait, didn’t you just read that there’s more to attraction than empirical beauty? Yes, you did, but you can’t deny the fact that a good-looking human being attracts a lot of attention — at least initially. Some people have their specific types (you prefer blondes, while your friend likes dark hair), but a symmetrical, youthful face without flaws (more on those in a minute) is generally believed to be attractive.

      Now, obviously, no one is perfect, and flawed people of all ages manage to find love. How do they do it? Is beauty really more than skin deep, or do they simply settle for what they get and make the most of it?
