Courtship rituals and signals of attraction

1. A man and a woman walk along the beach.

2. They see each other.

3. They passed each other

Dr. Albert Sheflen, the author of the Body Language and Social Order, found that certain physiological changes are taking place in the body of a person entering the company of representatives of the opposite sex. Muscle tone rises, bags under the eyes decrease, the figure becomes more taut, the chest rises, the stomach tightens, the posture improves - in a word, the person immediately looks younger and more attractive. Dr. Sheflen noted that in a similar situation in both men and women, the gait becomes more elastic and energetic. The man emphasizes his attractiveness as a potential partner. Men straighten up, visually increasing their height, push their jaws forward and widen chest volume to look dominant. Women emphasize the chest, bow their heads to one side, begin to straighten hair, showing wrists, and in every way demonstrate submission and submission.
If you want to make sure that such observations are fair, go to the beach. Here a man and a woman meet each other. Changes in their appearance occur when they approach at a distance of sight. As soon as eye contact is lost, the posture becomes the same again.
Body language is the fundamental basis of the courtship ritual, because gestures and movements immediately make people around you understand how accessible, attractive and sexy we are. Some of these signals are studied everywhere and may be conscious. Others, similar to those we have just talked about, are completely unconscious. How we assimilate these signals is unclear, but research shows that many of them are innate.
