Reading Women: Body Language Briefing
Body language is the meaning behind the words or the “unspoken”
language. Surprisingly, studies show that only up to an estimated 10 percent
of our communication is verbal.
The majority of the rest of communication is unspoken. This unspoken language
isn’t rocket science. However, there are some generalizations or
basic interpretations that can be applied to help with the understanding
or translating of these unspoken meanings. Here are some basics below.
1. Smile
Women like warm smiles. Think of a heartfelt warm-fussy, maybe your favorite
pet, and smile.
2. Eyes
If you don’t look a woman in the eyes while speaking, this can be
interpreted as dishonesty or hiding something. Likewise, shifting eye
movement or rapid changing of focus/direction can translate similarly.
If more than one woman is present in a group, look each in the eye as
you speak, slowly turning to face the next with eye contact as well. Continue
on so that each one has felt your warm, trusting glance. Some suggest
beginning with one person and moving clockwise around the group so that
no one is missed, and so that you are not darting around, seemingly glaring
at people.
3. Attention Span / Attitude
Women can tell what type attitude you have by your attention span. If
you quickly lose focus of what is being said, and if your attention span
wanders, this shows through and makes you seem disinterested, bored, possibly
even uncaring.
4. Attention Direction
If you sit or stand so that you are blocking another in the party, say
someone is behind you, this can be interpreted as rude or thoughtless.
So be sure to turn so that everyone is included in the conversation or
angle of view, or turn gently, at ease and slowly, while talking, so that
everyone is incorporated, recognized and involved in the conversation.
Again some suggest the clockwise movement when working a group.
5. Arms Folded / Legs Crossed
This can be seen as defensive or an end to the conversation. So have arms
hang freely or hold a glass of water, a business card or note taking instruments
while communicating with women. Be open with open arms. Note: If you need
to cross legs, cross at your ankles and not your knees. Sitting tightly
folded up says that you are closed to communications.
6. Head Shaking
If women are shaking their heads while you speak, they are in agreement.
If they are shaking, “no,” disagreement reigns in their minds.
7. Space / Distance –
On the whole, women like their own personal body space. Give women room
and keep out of their space. Entering to close can be intrusive and viewed
as aggressive. Leaning – Sitting or standing, leaning is viewed
as interest. In other words, an interested listener leans toward the speaker.
Note women's body language – While you are with women, note how
their bodies read. If a woman suddenly folds her arms across her chest
and begins shaking her head “no,” you’ve probably lost
her. You might try taking a step back and picking up where the conversation
began this turn for the negative and regroup. It’s all about strategic
planning!
