About Attracting Men
Gone are the days of using a tight corset and a large dowry to reel in a good catch. Attracting men has never been trickier. While women are stronger and more independent than ever, when it comes to men it seems like we are still trying to figure out that magic formula for getting a man's attention and more importantly, keeping it.
Physical Features That Attract Men to Women
Women often wonder or question what exactly it is that men are attracted to. While there are some men that prefer a specific feature over another, many men, subconsciously or knowingly, find that they are attracted to similar physical features in women.

- Smile
- Large Eyes
- Long Hair

- Symmetrical Face

Good Manners: What to Say and Do
In today's lesson, we will be talking about good manners or what can
also be referred to sometimes as cross-cultural skills. What does that
mean? It's the skills that you need to function effectively in a
different culture than your own. So for example: if I were to come to
your country and learn your language, do you think that would be enough?
Not really, because along with the language, I also need to learn what's acceptable, what's not okay in that particular culture. So today, we'll be talking about 12 things that you need to say and do when you're living or working in an English speaking environment. Okay? Let's get started.

How to Spot a Liar
On
any given day we're lied to from 10 to 200 times, and the clues to
detect those lie can be subtle and counter-intuitive. Pamela Meyer,
author of Liespotting, shows the manners and "hotspots" used by
those trained to recognize deception -- and she argues honesty is a
value worth preserving.
Pamela Meyer thinks we’re facing a pandemic of deception, but she’s arming people with tools that can help take back the truth.
Body Language - Amy Cuddy: Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are
So I want to start by offering you a free no-tech life hack, and all it requires of you is this: that you change your posture for two minutes. But before I give it away, I want to ask you to right now do a little audit of your body and what you're doing with your body. So how many of you are sort of making yourselves smaller? Maybe you're hunching, crossing your legs, maybe wrapping your ankles. Sometimes we hold onto our arms like this. Sometimes we spread out. So I want you to pay attention to what you're doing right now. We're going to come back to that in a few minutes, and I'm hoping that if you learn to tweak this a little bit, it could significantly change the way your life unfolds.
So, we're really fascinated with body language, and we're particularly interested in other people's body language. You know, we're interested in, like, you know, an awkward interaction, or a smile, or a contemptuous glance, or maybe a very awkward wink, or maybe even something like a handshake.

Understanding Body Language
How can you tell if someone is lying to you? What does your handshake
say about you? Do you project confidence or fear? The nationally
recognized body language expert Jan Hargrave has the answers. She's been
a guest on The Learning Channel, Entertainment Television, Fox News,
and written for major national newspapers. She's also the author of
several books on body language, including Let Me See Your Body Talk. Jan
Hargrave can teach you what you and others are saying with your body.
Apparently 55 percent of communication is nonverbal, and the body,
unlike the mouth, does not lie.
Actions speak louder than words.

Body Language - How to Read Leg Movements
One of the most common things that you'll see in people when they're
anxious is they bounce their legs up and down, right? So some people are
just habitual bouncer. It's something that they commonly do. But as
people tend to get more comfortable with each other, they'll slowly
stop.
So one of the things that you'll see in an interaction is that for the first ten or 15 minutes, he might bounce his legs up and down. But as he becomes less anxious and as he becomes more comfortable with her, he's going to slow down. So what you're looking for is a deviation or a change in that behavior.
It's the same thing as in a presentation. Let's say that I was giving a presentation to these two. And all of a sudden one of them was bouncing their leg for the first 15 minutes. A goal of mine would be to get that bouncy leg behavior to stop. Because I know that once they're more engage or interested in what I have to say, it's less likely for them to commit those kind of behaviors.
So as we talk, you're talking back and forth. And then slowly, you'll see you're naturally a good communicator so you naturally orientating towards me. But you don't want it to be natural. If you we're disinterested in me you'd be pointing that way. Alright? You'll be faced that way. But as you get more and more interesting no matter what you do, no matter how hard your body just squares up with the person. So it's like "Oh really? du dud dud". So the example will be like you're talking and your here and it's like, "Oh, no. I kind of did the same. Yeah" And then slowly and slowly and slowly we're squared up. And that's the orientation we're looking for.
So if you walk up to a girl and the all of a sudden you're like "Hi". And she looks over at you and like " Hi, du du dud," you want to see a gradual change in orientation. You don't want it to be. It's not going to be sudden unless you say something surprising. So if all of sudden if, "So where you from?" "Texas." "Oh my god we just," then you see that kind of thing. But usually you don't see that. You see slight deviation. It's the best when you get a sharp one then it's easy. And it goes both way. So if all of a sudden she's deviating this way and things are going good, when she starts to deviate back, things are going bad.
A method for successfully guiding a conversation is to watch whether the person is oriented or disoriented. And what topics they orient and which topics the disorient towards.

Secrets of Body Language
Body language is a form of non-verbal communication, which consists of body posture, gestures, facial expressions, and eye movements. Humans send and interpret such signals almost entirely subconsciously.
John Borg attests that human communication consists of 93 percent body language and paralinguistic cues, while only 7% of communication consists of words themselves; however, Albert Mehrabian, the researcher whose 1960s work is the source of these statistics, has stated that this is a misunderstanding of the findings (see Misinterpretation of Mehrabian's rule). Others assert that "Research has suggested that between 60 and 70 percent of all meaning is derived from nonverbal behavior."
Body language may provide clues as to the attitude or state of mind of a person. For example, it may indicate aggression, attentiveness, boredom, relaxed state, pleasure, amusement, and intoxication, among many other cues.

Science of Attraction - Familiar Faces
We all look at the world in our own way and perceive things differently, but we’d usually expect our partners to have a similar outlook and opinions to ourselves: that’s one of the reasons we date them. However when it comes to your face, you and your partner often have very different perspectives because you see it in a completely different way; exactly opposite in fact.
The rationale behind symmetry preference in both humans and animals is that symmetric individuals have a higher mate-value; scientists believe that this symmetry is equated with a strong immune system. Thus, beauty is indicative of more robust genes, improving the likelihood that an individual's offspring will survive. This evolutionary theory is supported by research showing that standards of attractiveness are similar across cultures.
Science of Attraction - Profile Pictures
Characteristics such as sincerity, intellect
and dependability are key attributes that we all seek in friendships or romantic partners.
We tend to make many assumptions on appearances but how reliable is our judgement?
A person, who we may see initially as friendly or honest could turn out to be completely
the opposite. Are we bad judges of character or do people try and mislead others? Maybe
the truth is somewhere in between.
Today 700 million people are using social
networking websites, some specifically for dating and match making. And on these sites
we are presented in a very brief format, in many cases we are initially judged just by
a photograph. This way of presenting ourselves is becoming more and more prevalent. So how
important is the picture we choose to represent ourselves online?
In this video, the team will take the science of attraction to the Great British public
