The “human experience” is filled with uncertainty and guessing when dealing with the opposite sex. Does she like me? Is she sending me signals? Is he ignoring me? Often, and in vain, we desperately look for any hints that tell us if someone is attracted. Sometimes, we overanalyze the slightest movements like the turn of the head.

Personally, I find overanalyzing a waste of time (Though, I’m also guilty of that crime.). Why not try something more “scientific?” Currently, I’m taking a General Psychology course for my behavioral science elective. Our professor often gets off topic and talks about psychological things that are actually relevant to college students. It’s like a psychology class and a psychoanalysis session at the same time. One of his off-topics was the attraction of the opposite sex. There are ways that people subconsciously show their.

Reading Women
Look at her feet. According to our professor, if you are standing and talking with a group of friends, check all the feet of every girl (discreetly of course). Chances are that their feet are pointing to the person to whom they are most attracted. Even if they are talking to someone else, they subconsciously keep their feet planted while they swivel the rest of their body.

Reading both Genders
Sorry ladies! My teacher did not tell us an exclusive way to read a guy. Maybe we’re more secretive. But he did tell us a general rule for both sexes. Again, this involves a group. It helps if everyone is sitting. Check to see whose body positions are similar. People subconsciously mimic the body positions and movements of the person to whom they are attracted. Therefore, if I start to slouch, the girl will slouch. If I cross my legs (not in a gay way) she will also cross her legs. If I cross my arms, she will cross her arms.

Accuracy
I know this sounds off that wall like a tip in Cosmo, Seventeen, or Vogue. But, it should have SOME truth if it came from my psychology teacher. My brother told me that he read something like that on MSN. So, that should give it a little more reliability. Of course, I would not use this as the only indicators of attraction. In fact, I would only use it as a fun addition to the inevitable over-analysis.
