0:00Hello everybody. I'm a practicing

0:02therapist and a doctoral student of

0:04psychology. Today I wanted to go over

0:06nonverbal signs a woman is attracted to

0:09you. This was requested. The and the

0:12research is going to be in the

0:13description box and we're going to go

0:14over some of the points as well, but

0:16overall this is some research that I've

0:18already used on this channel before so

0:19you guys are pretty familiar with some

0:21of this. However, we're going to still

0:23dissect it together in this video cuz a

0:25lot of you guys will be new. The first

0:27one is that actually she speaks in a

0:30more softer and higher pitched tone

0:33{slash} register. So you're going to

0:34register it as higher pitched. Now we've

0:36talked about this particular point

0:38before in a couple different ways. One

0:40research we had discussed is the

0:41voicemails where when a lady leaves a

0:44voicemail with a man she's attracted to

0:47to a man she's attracted to, we can see

0:48the pitch is higher. But we also see

0:50that there are some subconscious signals

0:53that women do this to appear more

0:55friendly and non-confrontational,

0:58which allows men to feel more

0:59comfortable initiating or being more

1:01comfortable being around her. So there

1:03are two different ways that it can be

1:05looked at cuz some of sometimes it can

1:07be on purpose, but I don't think on

1:09purpose is necessarily

1:12always true for women. Sometimes it

1:14happens

1:16subconsciously or perhaps even

1:17biologically. The next one is that

1:19actually she's finding reasons to be

1:21near you. And we can see a lot of

1:23research. This one was 2011 and the

1:25first one I talked about was 2011 as

1:27well. Um the same research. What we're

1:30seeing is that she's going to find

1:31reasons to be near you and both men and

1:33women do this, but I will say that women

1:36do this a little bit more often simply

1:38because as a lot of folks know, women

1:39are a little bit less direct and so

1:43they're going to be a little bit

1:44indirect socially as well, which means

1:46that she's going to be behaving in this

1:48way because she finds you attractive

1:49even if she's not ready to accept that

1:51yet or she's still figuring out how she

1:53wants to feel about you or that she's

1:55waiting on you to actually go ahead and

1:57say something. And so, an example will

1:59be that maybe she sits next to you while

2:02doing some of these other things as

2:03well. So, if she's doing all these

2:04things while other aspects as well, it's

2:06likely that she's attracted to you. We

2:08never want to take just one point

2:10because that can be that can be set up

2:12for miscommunication,

2:14misconception, and it may just make it

2:16more confusing for both you guys. So, if

2:18she's finding reasons to be near you

2:20frequently as well as other of these

2:22points, that can be helpful. So, like I

2:24was going to give an example. Let's just

2:26say

2:28I don't know, you use a public

2:29transportation. I don't use public

2:31transportation, so I'm not 100% familiar

2:33with the paradigm, but that's an example

2:35that I just thought of. Perhaps you guys

2:37are always seeing each other, you use

2:39the same public transportation

2:41uh every I don't know, morning before

2:43work, you always see her, and often she

2:46tries to find seats near you or next to

2:49you. And maybe she glances up at you and

2:50smiles, or maybe she looks in your

2:53direction often. This is probably person

2:55that finds you attractive. The next one

2:57is more animated expressions than she

2:59normally has. This research was 1993,

3:02and then some of these points are also

3:03the research in 2011. So, examples of

3:06animated expressions are smiling more

3:08often, nodding,

3:11laughing during interactions that are

3:12positively associated. And so, this

3:14doesn't have to mean she's laughing at

3:16your jokes necessarily. She's just

3:17laughing in your presence in a positive

3:19way. She's happy, um and we can see that

3:22the research does show that people do

3:25positively associate when folks are

3:27laughing or smiling. And so, on the flip

3:28side, subconsciously a lot of folks are

3:30also doing this when they find you

3:32attractive, particularly women,

3:34because it's more perceived as she's

3:37warm and inviting, which allows you to

3:39also feel more relaxed around her. The

3:41next one is that

3:43um there is some relaxed open body

3:46language. And this is interesting

3:48because some women don't always have

3:50this point, which is why I'm

3:53uh putting this caveat. Some women are

3:55very nervous and anxious. Like if she

3:57has social anxiety, she might not be so

4:00relaxed. However, as you get more

4:01comfortable with her and build more

4:03rapport, you can see that she's

4:04incredibly relaxed. Open body language

4:06will be more like shoulders back and not

4:09with her arms um across her chest there.

4:11So, that's an example of an open body

4:12language. The next one is subtle and

4:15reciprocal touch. This one is

4:18This one alone might be

4:21Like this one might be the only one that

4:22might be stand-alone depending on her

4:24personality. But if she is having some

4:27sort of light I would say like informal

4:29touches like your arm or your shoulder

4:31or even your leg, that's usually

4:33associated with increased feelings of

4:35trust,

4:36interest, attraction, and also safety.

4:41And so, she's able to feel those ways

4:42around you.

4:44Of course, attraction is one of the main

4:45ones we're touching on today. This

4:47research was in 2007. And what we also

4:49found in this research is this is also

4:51some form of courtship, and it's not

4:53always intentional. But from the

4:57Basically, this research is basically on

4:59female behavior in comparison to male

5:01behavior, and courtship is still very

5:03common with humans. Yes, it's more

5:05common Well, I don't know if it's more

5:07common, but I think it's we're more

5:08aware of it in terms of other mammals,

5:11but humans do it as well. And just like

5:13with a lot of mammals, a lot of females

5:15do some sort of indirect behaviors to

5:18which males will usually either fight

5:21over this particular person or try to

5:24initiate, etc. It's dependent, but a lot

5:26of women tend to have these behaviors

5:28that are grained into their biology to

5:30some extent. That doesn't mean that

5:31women are not going to approach you or

5:33they're not going to communicate

5:34directly. It just means it's a little

5:36less often is all I'm saying, cuz I know

5:38some of you guys are would be more

5:39comfortable if a woman is initiating,

5:41which I can appreciate and I understand.

5:43It just is not going to be as common,

5:45and I don't want to lie to you.

5:47And you guys know that. Um and the last

5:49one is that it's

5:52she's going to be fidgeting, and

5:54particularly it's going to be fidgeting

5:56when having discussions. And so this is

5:59why this is research was in 2010, and

6:02this one is not something that you want

6:04to take just in and of itself because it

6:06can be a little bit misleading. So we're

6:08going to touch on why it can be a little

6:10misleading as well as

6:12when it's more of a flirtatious or

6:13attraction type of behavior. Now, if

6:16she's fidgeting with something and she's

6:19always like that or she's not making eye

6:20contact and it's not during a

6:22conversation and it's not seemingly

6:24warm, it can be that she's uncomfortable

6:27with social interactions in general. It

6:29doesn't mean you're doing something

6:30wrong, but she might have social anxiety

6:32or generalized anxiety disorder. It may

6:34have nothing to do with you. And

6:36especially if it seems like she's

6:37detached or uncomfortable, sometimes

6:39what can happen if you're in like a

6:41relationship with this person, which

6:42obviously hopefully she finds you

6:44attractive, sometimes women do this when

6:46they want to say something and they're

6:47afraid if they say it that it's going to

6:50make you mad or upset. And if you guys

6:52are in a relationship, maybe you're

6:53already aware of that behavior. So they

6:56might be fidgeting because they're

6:57thinking, "Should I say this? Should I

6:59not say this?" And so bridging that to

7:01the attraction portion, sometimes women

7:03do this because they are nervous around

7:06you, but sometimes it's because they're

7:07they're thinking, "Does this person like

7:09me? Does this person not like me?" And

7:11you're seeing that

7:13conflict showing up physically with

7:16she's fidgeting, etc. She might just be

7:18nervous in front of you in general

7:20because maybe she feels like you don't

7:21like her, maybe she just likes you and

7:23she is not ready to accept that right

7:24away. And so there is some sort of

7:26internal conflict whether it's between

7:28her and herself or between her and how

7:30she's perceiving you, and you're going

7:32to see those behaviors. But it is

7:33important that most of these things in

7:35conjunction means that she's attracted

7:37to you.

7:38As I've mentioned before, women can be a

7:40little bit more indirect than men, not

7:42all the time. And so, that's why these

7:43points are really important cuz I don't

7:45want you guys to be in a situation where

7:50you're trying to initiate something and

7:52you're trying to

7:54connect with her and then you get

7:55yourself rejected or hurt. It's going to

7:57happen. Rejection is normal in life, but

7:59you don't want to be in a situation

8:00where it turns out to be

8:02something completely off, right? You

8:04don't want that. And so, that's why

8:05these points are important. The research

8:07is going to be in the description box. I

8:09hope this video has helped somebody.
