The six commandments of body language (using it to attract women)

[DannyBoy451]

The fact that some of you see this as anything other than P.U.A. voodoo bullshit is very amusing to me.

This is psuedo-psychological crap, developed by manipulative, narcissistic men, with the specific intention of peddling it to shy, awkward, lonely single men who will try anything to get a girlfriend.

You can not reduce the complexities of human interaction, sexual attraction, and courtship into a fucking easy to follow guide. Women are not fucking automatons, this kind of attitude is insulting and demeaning and will just get you either friendzoned, or fucking laughed at.

Yeah, this is pretty true, while things like this guide help with little nuances of the art, it really is more important to let the girl in question know that you care about her(and mean it). I use to think I had women figured out, and then I realized that every last one of them are different people who deserve to be looked at in their own way, now, it hasn't helped my notoriously bad luck with relationships, or the fact that everytime I try and be nice it comes around and bites me in the ass, but I respect myself for the way I deal with females, and that, to me, is more important than getting action.

I really don't think you understood the point of my post.

I've been really down lately (almost suicidal...), but I'm right back up. These sound very nice.

Yeah, me too dude. Good luck.

OT: But you can't forget saying nice things. But more importantly, mean what you say, girls may be easy to fool for a while, but once they realize that a guy is just using them, well, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." And honestly, guys who do stuff like that really piss me off because I'm the nice friend around my group, so I'm the one who always gets the crying phone calls from my female friends. And I hate, absolutley hate seeing girls in pain. Its my weakness, or strength depending on how you look at it.

Looks like we're twins.

I'm guessing if all of them go wrong but she views you as a creepy perv.

I think that before the 3rd commandment she would slap you, and before the 5th one she would call the cops.

The key here is knowing when to make your move. Body language is like dialogue: every signal your body give out is going to get a response from the other person. If you push too hard or are too eager, it will show in her body language, if you know what to look for.

Then again, the op's post is communication psychology at the most basic level. His commandments have their uses, but they're really just an intro into the intricacies of body language. You could write whole books about each commandment and still not get every nuance down.

I agree with most of what you say, i only dispute the smile, for anyone who knows, or knows of my sense of humour who sees me smile will tend to start backing away slowly and looking wildly around for the nearest escape route.

 

[RavingPenguin]

Smiling conveys that I'm not dangerous, eh?

Says the person that's never seen me smile. It's like the friggin' Joker.

You're not the only one. I just have to learn to smile about half way or try to make looking demented into a good thing.

Sound advice, though I already do the majority of these things naturaly.

Some good tips. Just one flaw. "Usually bigger and stronger", tell that to my 5'0 body. Whenever I'm looked at, they have this way of looking at me like I'm a child. And, I'm sort of a dork. So it's a bit hard to talk to girls in the first place.

 

[DannyBoy451]

I really can't believe that some of you are actually taking this shit seriously...

EDIT: Scrath that, I forgot that this is a VIDEOGAME FORUM on the INTERNET

Jesus fucking Christ...

I do, its just that I don't think this 'guide' is totally useless, it's not what is REALLY important when dealing with women, but knowning little things like this can have an effect. Even if they do not really work or matter, it could be like a placebo pill and in essence would mean that the person using said guide would be tricking himself into thinking that it works, which will cause him to be more positive and confident which is something that can't hurt.

But the point of my post was to say that these methods can be used to help make a girl feel better about herself. It may sound manipulative, but, in the words of William James, "What seperates a good man from a bad one is his cause of action."

I believe that you are both right and wrong, as are we all.

Smiling doesn't work when your holding a 9mm against their head.

 

[ValentineBlacker]

I think that if a guy were smiling, nodding and staring directly into my eyes, I'd run. Fast.

And I might even say, if it's not too crazy, that women are individuals, not an evil hive-mind, and different women might be attracted to different things.

 

[QuirkyTambourine]

Haha that was awesome, I'm glad to say (damnit I'll toot my own horn here if I want to) that I keep all these traits in tip-top shape. I often get complimented on my smile, it got bigger and happier once I got my braces off my sophomore year in high school, and since then I've perfected it. heh.

The only thing that I didn't quite agree with was the touching part. Outside of hugs, I feel like gently tapping a girls arm whilst talking to her is a bit creepy, and if I ever see another guy doing it, it becomes clear quite quickly that he's spitting game. I keep away from that one.

I assure you, following this crap will only make you come across as an asshole, I also fail to see how this could inspire confidence in anyone.

And to be honest, if you're willing to treat a woman like a robot and try to manipulate her into liking you, then you don't deserve her.

 

[Booze Zombie]

The worst thing anyone could look at is a "guide" to how to be social.
If they have to stop being themselves for a few minutes to get a girl, it's obvious that the girl won't actually like them when they start being themselves again.

 

[Trivun]

Yep, that's pretty much how you do it!

Confirmation of the OP, that's great. Now I just have one question. Why didn't anyone tell me this two years ago when it would have been a lot more useful to me?

Seriously, I screwed up with this one girl who seemed interested in me because my body language was bad. I've never really mastered body language anyway though, so I should probably take some time to learn. Anyway, thanks OP, good advice there, now I just need to actually use it :s.

EDIT: Actually, how does the OP know all this, according to his profile he's only thirteen...?

 

[Lenny Magic]

I think if I had remembered to take my earphones out when saying "Hi, how was your holiday?" I would have looked less stupid. (Damn I feel like an absolute idiot).

Edit: today's incident brings the Fail count to: 25.

Edit2: make that 26.

 

[Zildjin81]

If you have to be told this stuff, then getting a girlfriend is the least of your worries...

Haha my thoughts exactly.

Chill. It's just a list of shizz that can make social interraction for those who don't instinctvely consider these things. It's not garrenteed, but it's a stepping stone. This gives those "shy, lonely, awkward single men" a starting point. Once their in the friend zone or have gotten through a few friendly encounters they'll have more confidence. This will help them no end later because they'll be able to get themselves up to scratch. This sin't the "ZOMGORS YUO ARE SO GONNA GET SOME POONINJA" so much as a "This is how you go about not curling up in a corner". Some people need that help, and I kinda feel sorry for you if you think that there's something inherently wrong with helping out those in need.
