When we meet people for the first timewe quickly make judgments about their friendliness, dominance, and potential as a sexual partner - and their eyes are not the first place we look.
Body language is an outward reflection of a person's emotional condition. Each gesture or movement can be a valuable key to an emotion a person may be feeling at the time. A man who is self-conscious about gaining weight may tug at the fold of his skin under his chin or a woman might use a softer handshake in a social context to imply submissiveness. In this class, we'll learn some simple techniques to become more perceptive of what we see and hear in a certain environments.
We'll cover the following topics:
- Rules for accurate readings
