Mystery and Real Life Body Language

I have great respect for the man by the name of Mystery founder of the www.venusianarts.com. He’s done a lot to help open up the study of social dynamics as it applies to dating. When I first discovered his teachings and theories, I was floored and hungry for as much information as I could get my hands on. I stumbled upon the video linked here. His body language is great, dominant, relaxed and controlled. However, this wasn’t the most impressive part of the hidden camera clip. You’re welcome to watch the full clip, but if you’re impatient and really interested in body language and not social dynamics then fast forward to 2:40 and tell me what you think of the gesture the blonde performs. From a body language and research perspective this hair hold is absolutely stunning to watch in action and for those out of the “know” – this is a positive signal of interest! Now with this in mind, rewind a bit more and watch the full interaction. From there you can discover ways to elicit these positive gestures. If you want to learn more signals of sexual interest, be sure to check out: www.BodyLanguageProject.com and the E-book - The Body Language Project: Dating, Attraction and Sexual Body Language.

I was asked to break the video down even further so here it is:

1) Entry, smooth yet deliberate. Calm, relaxed, no tension. His whole body is natural. He enters like the owner of the bar.
2) 20-25 seconds. He makes contact but uses IOD by looking away as they answer BUT not by first showing IOI via eye contact. He makes a point to look at each in the eye. Watch carefully as he goes back and forth from each girl. He also adds pauses in his conversation to emphasis certain words. He isn't afraid to hold dead air showing dominance.
3) 20-26. He allows the girls to assess him by turning around. He breaks eye contact. This is a great technique to do in a JOB interview because it gives the interviewer a chance to evaluate you and your dress and formulate their opinion of you without being infringed upon. Breaking eye contact allows them to begin the attraction process.
4) 56 seconds. He uses his hands to speak and uses them in unison with his speech which is good.
5) 1:30 seconds. Shows a few bad signals here because he appears to be leaning against the wall, but is quick to give up his post when he socializes with another girl. Being up against the wall is a security blanket. Most men just stay there even if they see someone of interest. He is not afraid to expand his territory.
6) At about 1:42 he has a slightly defensive gesture with his right arm across the midway of his body. Anytime the arm crosses the midline of the body it is a closed posture.
7) 1:48. Plenty of positive gestures from the girl. Answers his own question…that’s why you are drawn to her because she is sending plenty of IOI’s!
8) 2:26 plenty of IOI’s very strong by the girl. Hair plays and tosses with eye contact. Also plenty of eye contact from Mystery himself.
