Does anyone else find body language fascinating? I do! I've become decently in tune with it also and can recognize it on other people when I'm talking and interacting with them!
Maybe I'm just a nerd. . .

It's interesting but not scientific. I don't rate it much higher than astrology.

Its often very telling. That is a key is how I judge where a sales call or meeting is going.

Often there are physical or medical reasons for people's body language. Asperger's syndrome for instance.

I have perfected the "****-off" look. I suppose I'll have to change that someday, but it works for me now

It is fascinating and it is such a handy (and un-used) tool in life. I have been cultivating all manner of body language from facial expressions to sitting postures to strides to convey to my associates I'm a busy worker, which , of course, is fiction. BUT...I can spot others pulling the same trip and it's loads of quiet fun.

I pay close attention to body language to read people. You can read people's minds from observing their body language. It's good for sales.

Body language is not an accurate science but it can give indicators. From there people can look further. In other words it may be a starting point in learning about another person.

It is interesting. Actually, experts on body language seem make very good assesments on reading people's body language.

You have a great day.

You'd be interested in a book I once checked out from the library. INTERNATIONAL body language. They use some different gestures abroad--particularly Germany and Italy!
