Signal # 7 Folding Your Arms

“Classically, people see this is a barrier gesture that repels people,” James says. There are two different versions, each with its own meaning. “If your arms are folded in a self-hug, so that your hands touch your rib cage, it can imply that you’re feeling insecure or bored,” she says. “If your arms are folded, so that your hands are on your biceps, you’re telling him that you’re not interested in talking.”

HGB: I don’t think I have ever seen someone standing in one place with their arms folded like they are hugging themselves. that just doesn’t seem normal or natural and it feels a little uncomfortable (yes I just tried it lol…don’t judge me). I do know that when your arms are folded while you are speaking to someone it does show lack of interest, disrespect, or even abuse of power (superiority, I’m better than you, I’m the boss type of power) so ladies be mindful of this.

Signal #8 Steady Eye Contact

“Giving him 100-percent eye contact when he’s talking, while also nodding to show that you’re listening, tells him that you value what he has to say,” James says. But you should look away briefly when you’re talking. “Too much prolonged eye contact when you speak can look intimidating or even dishonest.”

HGB: I think making eye contact with anyone in general shows a sign of confidence and respect. Sometimes a person’s eyes can help you better understand what they are saying because you sometimes feel connected. “The eyes are the windows to the soul.”

So Ladies, when you first meet a guy, make sure you pay attention to your body language. You do not want to give off the wrong message.
