HOW WELL DO YOU READ BODY LANGUAGE?
Rick RockAugust 28, 2022
It may depend on your gender. Men and women perceive some gestures in completely opposite ways. For instance, nodding your head. Women think, “You’re listening to me.” Men think, “You agree with me.” If you stand close to someone, women will think, “You’re crowding me.” Men, on the other hand perceive someone who stands close to them as being interested in what they have to say. And if a member of the opposite sex holds eye contact, a woman thinks, “You’re listening.” A man thinks, “You’re flirting.”
