Reading a Man's Body Language

At its most basic, reading a man's body language is about classifying his body movements into 2 categories- positive and negative.
The body language signs for a positive response are:
- A warm or tentative smile
- An open body (no crossed arms putting up a barrier between you).
- Sustained eye contact or slight lingering glances in your direction on a regular basis
- Upturned palms
- Loose or relaxed body movement
- A body facing you
The body language signs for a negative response are:
- Stiff movements
- Hunched shoulders
- A glare rather than soft eye contact
- Clenched fists
- A body angled away from you
- Gritted teeth
- Concentrating on something or someone other than you.
Of course, there are other elements of body language that may indicate a positive or negative response but those listed above are perhaps the most common and, more importantly, the most noticeable!
The thing to remember is that body language is not always precise. Don't take one signal alone to mean anything. For example, if a man is moving stiffly, it may be a negative response, or it could be mean he is just sore from an injury!
Signals don't tell you exactly what a man is thinking, they just give you an indication of what he is probably thinking. The better you get at reading the different signals, the more indication you'll have of what the man is thinking.
Reading a man's bodylanguage is a skill that can be useful in almost any situation. It may be that you are in a relationship with the man or he may be a friend or relation and you want to find out what he thinks about a certain situation, for example. You can read his body language signals to get unconscious information about what he is thinking or feeling. Remember, actions speak louder than words!
