Well this thread isn't bout me. I've got a pretty ok love life, not as steamy as I'd like it though.
One of my latest interests is psychology. I've been reading a lot of Sigmund Freud and works by other renowned authors( Mens Health, Maxim etc), and their take on facial expressions and body language is rather intriguing.
Excerpts from an article by Richard Corniff in April's edition of Men's Health
" Facial expressions are the universal language of the human soul. Understanding what they mean could determine weather you land the job, close the deal, make friends, win fights, talk her into dinner at your place, charm her pants off, live surrounded by the people you love, or die listening to a $8 an hour orderly crack rude jokes outside your door"
Well before she's spoken the words, her facial expression and body language convey the message, unless she's lying!
Women's Intuition -- for Men
"A popular belief -- and an incorrect one -- is that women are better than men at reading people," says William Ickes, Ph.D., a mind-reading expert and a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Arlington. "But studies have shown that the difference isn't in ability but in motivation." Meaning that if you're motivated to read her mind, you'll do a better job. Try these tactics for some extra help.
Talk after $ex. This is possibly the last advice you want to hear, we know. But according to a study in Biological Psychiatry, an increase in your level of the feel-good hormone oxytocin will improve your mind-reading abilities, largely because it makes you feel closer to your partner. Since both of you receive a jolt of it during $ex, there's no better time to suss out her thoughts than right afterward. She'll be more willing to share and you'll be more able to listen. (Oxytocin makes you sleepy; fight it!) If postcoital conversation isn't an option, exchange massages. A good rubdown also releases the oxytocin tide.
Listen for the odd word out. While she's talking, she might drop hints at her true feelings. If you're in a tough spot with her, pay particular attention. "Any words that stand out as being strange in context are clues to what she's really thinking," says Ickes. The odd word out can be as blatant as a Freudian slip, or as subtle as the extra emphasis she gives to the invitation at the end of a date when she says, "Would you like to come up for some coffee?"
Watch her arms and legs. Many people believe that agitation is a sign that someone's lying -- but if she's normally fidgety and her arms and legs are stone-still for once, that's when you should be concerned. "Any noticeable change in behavior can be a sign that she's lying," says lie-detection expert Maureen O'Sullivan, Ph.D., a psychology professor at the University of San Francisco.
Beware the "killer" smiles. Telltale signs that she's not saying what she means: if she's smirking or smiling crookedly during a bland or uninteresting story, or if the timing of her smile is off. "If her smile flashes across her face too quickly, or lingers too long, that's a good sign she's not feeling genuine happiness," O'Sullivan says. Maybe that's the time when you most need to prove your perceptiveness. carolyn kylstra
