The Feet
When someone’s feet are pointed directly at you, it’s a good indication
that they’re playing close attention to what you’re saying, and are
interested. If you’re engaging with an attractive member of the opposite
sex, good job!
If they’re somewhat duck footed, they’re ambivalent, so you should adjust
your conversation to something more likely to hold their interest. If the person’s feet are pointed
at the door, they’re hardly listening to a thing you’re saying. Smiling and nodding? Yeah. They
haven’t heard a thing you’ve said. Try asking them an out-of-nowhere question to catch them off
their guard, like, “Would you eat a bowl of rats?” Their reaction will be funny, and all you need to
do is wink at them.
If someone is tapping their toes around, they’re likely nervous.
The Legs
When people are seated, it’s interesting to see how they position their legs. In
general, people spread their legs out in a dominance display, much as they will
put their hands behind their head and look around the room-these are ways to
make oneself appear bigger. Legs crossed towards you-means their interested
in what you’re saying.
If their legs are pointed at someone else, and especially if their foot is bouncing
around, you’ve lost their attention. Switch up the conversational topic, or take
your attention away entirely. Don’t let anyone treat you with dismissal.
The Torso
People will tend to incline their torso towards whatever they’re most interested in. Women will
orient their bodies to display themselves to their best advantage when they’re intrigued or
threatened by someone. Men will make themselves appear larger in order to seem more
impressive. If someone is sending out these display signals to you, you have got their attention.
Some women, when seated, will also lean forward when they are cold. You might offer them your
jacket, or a cup of something warm!
Arms
We’ve all been distracted by someone who gesticulates wildly. Some people are naturally more
flamboyant than others, but those who gesture wildly are most often trying to convince you of
something. (This is why many teachers have large gestures—they just want you to pay attention!)
But in most people who are not teachers, large gesticulations are also a large indicator not to trust
someone. If someone is working terribly hard to convince you of something, they are probably not

very convinced of it themselves. Salesmen and lying adolescents are especially guilty of this one.
Hands
Whenever someone makes their palm or their wrists vulnerable to you, it is a display of trust.
People who make chopping motions with their hands and rarely show you their palms are playing
their cards close to the vest, so to speak, and might surprise you with their actions, so be careful
not to show your own hand too early, either!
