Did you know your body language can put you in the friends zone before you even meet her?

I know. It sucks. And the only thing we can really do about it – is to make sure we’re
not appearing as just another possible friend to her.

Well I believe when we think about that last statement, in a way it doesn’t suck because
it also means if we notice what we’re doing while we’re around women we can easily begin
to unravel the tension and appear as a sexual option. Sounds reasonable and not at all too difficult.

Studies say that around 90% of communication is non-verbal. Actions speak louder than words.

I've tried bringing up body language (and the importance of it) in other threads where men struggle with meeting women to date... and I am often written off by the men who struggle the most. Usually these men will counter me with women don't care (if it's the man's body language) because all that matters is ____ (fill in the blank with "good looking" "money" "status" or some other arbitrary thing) or if I mention ways to read a woman's body language I am told that women are being silly by communicating though body language (it's like they don't get that body language is something subconscious that everyone does--including themselves).

I've said time and time again, if you are having problems dating... pick up some books on body language and read them. If nothing else, it can't hurt (and it's an interesting subject).

If your body moves with:
  • Stagnate rigid hips
  • A hunched over walk
  • Arms not swinging freely
  • Curled up toes in your shoes
  • Constantly watching the ground
  • Afraid to notice the people around you…
There is just no way a woman will see you as a sexy man.

Sounds like a fun game. Where do I sign up?

But then what you are saying is that you are rejecting people (not just men, but people, potential friends, acquaintances, clients) over small things that they may have no conscious knowledge of. That's not who we are. Our actions define us

BTW, this is what the 'article' considers body language.

Weak timid movements may easily tell her you’re unsure of yourself.

Legs or feet held tight together, tense jaw line, and rigid facial expressions is a tell you are scared and reserved.

If you stand with your hands constantly covering your sexual areas such as your groin and hips you are acting like a friend because you’re perceived as guarding your sexual desires.

The real question is OP, do you want a woman who would reject you because of these things? I mean, what is this, a game of Texas Hold em Poker?

How many threads do we need on the "friendzone." Most people will never have a relationship with the majority of people you meet that are of the opposite sex.

Not only that, but you will also lose business deals, interviews and job promotions with poor knowledge of body language.

Understanding other people's body language is very important also. It will let you know how they are reacting to things you say and if you need to change up what you're doing.
