Everyone knows that women use a lot of body language to make men feel attracted to them, but can men do the same thing towards women? Common knowledge may limit body language as a women-only weapon when it comes to the dating game, but as we all know, almost nothing is common knowledge when meeting new women.
Yep, men can actually use body language to their advantage. Certain actions and mannerisms are interesting to women, and this interest can grow into full-blown attraction down the line – but only if you play your cards right. Much of the work in getting women to like you comes after the body language cues draw them in.
Let’s take eye contact, for instance. A lot of men are puppies when it comes to eye contact – they can’t look a woman they haven’t talked to in the eye for very long. But let me tell you a story about a friend who did everything right with a woman he never met before – and it all started with a look.
My friend works out at the gym regularly, so he sees a lot of hot women around. One day, while he was on the bench doing rows, he noticed a particularly attractive woman working out near the dumbbells. While resting between sets, he’d stare at her eyes for a long time. And he never broke the stare – whenever she looked at her, she was always the first to look away.
When he finished doing his sets, he walked over to the dumbbell rack to get a new set of weights. As he walked closer to the her, she immediately turned around, looked him in the eye, and said flatly: “I have a boyfriend.”
Now, most men in his position would probably just go, “Yeah, whatever.” But my friend did the total opposite of ignoring her. Instead he said, “Hey, congratulations. I’m happy for you.” Then he leaned in to whisper, “You know, it might be a great accomplishment for you, but in the real world, it’s a pretty normal occurrence. So you might not want to tell every stranger you see.”
And then, instead of waiting to see her reaction, he turned away, got his new set of weights, and walked back to his bench.
Guess what? A few minutes later, she approached him on her own and apologized. It turns out she didn’t really have a boyfriend – it was just a ploy to keep losers from hitting on her. After a few moments of easy talk, she asked for his number… and the rest was history.
You see, most men have it in their heads that to get a woman to like them, they have to be polite and compliment them on how they look, etc. But believe me when I say that women are far more attracted to men who do unexpected things that show them he’s got his act together.
