A1datingadvice.com Understanding Body Language Part 1: This a series of articles about body language for women; so come back every week to the Dating Advice For Women page and see if there is something new. How to Know When a Man is Listening and Cares About What You Have to Say. Understanding body language will be central to your triumph in meeting great men. Mind-reading Body language not only gives you additional information about other people and about yourself, it also gives you different information. While people's words tell you only what they consciously want you to know, their body language tells you a whole range of other things, much of which they may not know they're revealing, or even be conscious of themselves. People's basic personality, the role they're playing, the emotions they feel, the direction of their thoughts, their relationships with others - not to mention what they really think about you - this non-verbal queue communicates it all. And whereas people's words can hide a multitude of secrets, their body language is much more difficult to fake.
Equally, of course, your own body language will - whether you like it or not - transmit information about yourself to others. And studies have shown that what you 'say' non-verbally is often much more influential than what you say verbally, not only because it bypasses the conscious mind of a listener and speaks directly to his or her subconscious, but also because people quite rightly trust non-verbal messages more than they trust words. The bad news is that your body language is making statements about you all the time, and some of these may be things you are trying to hide. The good news is that, properly and genuinely used, body language can state what you couldn't possibly say out loud, in a way that really reaches other people: I'm competent...I need your support...I like you...I love you.' This, however, isn't only about communication, though. What psychologists have realized over the past decade is that if you change your 'body talk,' you can actually change all kinds of things about your approach to life. You can, for instance, alter your mood before going to a party, create a better feeling toward your partner or feel more confident at work. And, of course, if your body language genuinely shifts, and you interact differently with people around you, then they in turn will respond differently to you - so that the way you project yourself to others will be reflected back to you, in a neat circular process.
