A simple change of stance could dramatically increase your dating success
By Patrick MonahanMar. 28, 2016 , 3:00 PM http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/03/simple-change-stance-could-dramatically-increase-your-dating-success Plenty of communication happens with no words at all, especially in modern dating where the choice of a partner could be based on a single picture (think Tinder). For instance, expansiveness—how far apart you spread your limbs—could signal to a romantic partner that a person is socially dominant, making them appear more desirable. To figure out whether this link holds in modern dating, researchers tested whether bigger postures—like outstretched arms and spread-apart legs—were more attractive in two scenarios where people meet mates today: speed dating and smartphone-based dating applications. Video analysis of 144 speed dates showed that for each one-point increase on a seven-point scale of expansiveness, college students’ chances of getting a “yes” response increased by 76%, according to the paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. But that’s just a correlation. Next, to see whether a wider stance actually causes attractiveness and not the other way around, the researchers took to dating applications in San Francisco, California, recording how many people matched with fake profiles that had big or small stances. And indeed, profiles with widely spread limbs got 27% more matches than those with limbs held tight. In both experiments, the effects held for both men and women. These findings may not apply to all groups—but for Illinois college students and San Francisco online daters, at least, a spread-out stance could help net a second date. Posted in: Brain & Behavior I do know that having arms crossed in front of you puts people off because you appear not to be as open with your feelings. Also, Guys that wear hats towards the back of the head are more approachable than wearing it close to the eyes. So, Tilt your hat back, open your arms and legs wide and yell with a smile "Come and Get Me!"  |

Exactly. Body language makes a helluva difference.
Open arms means your heart is open, you dare to be vulnerable. Legs further apart... did you know when you're root chakra is mostly blocked, you cannot even seem to spread your legs easily? Root chakra also has to do with having a solid foundation in life, feeling strong, that you have what it takes to survive etc It's all that the first tier of Maslow's Pyramid stands for. If you tell ppl that, barely anyone would now. Yet when it's expressed with body language, people subconsciously do know. Funny really. |

Okay.
So any future profile photos should show me doing jumping jacks, and that will guarantee a successful relationship. And if it doesn't then I can sue? Awesome. |

Coaches will also tell you that changing your stance may increase your batting average.

I've kind of heard about something similar.
I was having issues with my other half. People give all kinds of interesting advice. Among other things a friend gave me a set of videos about exuding sensuality. It talked about how your walk, stance, even how you sit catches people's attention. I watched the videos. It sounded stupid and contrived. I actually tried some of it and noticed people do pay attention. It didn't help with the other issues i was having because those required a lot more work between the both of us. However it did show that you make an impression whether you're trying to or not. |

Wow!...if all of that is just window dressing and the inner person is really different, it will come out later if not sooner...

I agree This topic is not about personalities, It is about an experiment on a limited group that suggests that your stance may have influence on the courting ritual. Its based on visual stimuli. Chances are if your stance is open you have a greater chance of getting a date or a second date. |

if just getting a date is the only objective, there are schemes, lines, open stances, color coordination of clothing - you name it and a book has been written; however, if you want to go beyond that, the curtains eventually open to expose the real wizard...

Getting a date is not the subject of topic. The subject of topic is the open VS closed stance experiment to which the article refers. Significant because it was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. I posted this topic to find out what our online dating community think about open/closed stances in their interactions with people to see if the paper's findings had a greater range than the two groups cited. While I agree that the dating process includes many factors, the focus is on stance alone. |

Ouch...one off subject hand smack acknowledged...cheers... Oh, I'm sorry. Please try to forgive me for wanting to talk about a specific topic that I posted about. I had no right to try to put the discussion back on topic. Perhaps I should call you before I post another topic to see if it meets with your approval? I mean you are forced to respond willy-nilly because they won't allow you to post your own topics of discussion. No worries, what would you like to discuss here instead? How about trains? Isn't it interesting how simple things can lead to a derailment? |

or it could just well be an honest response that should be taken at face value...but having grown up with psychologists they seem to consider most things to be an onion to be peeled (but at the core...)
