I have had two very interesting encounters last weekend when I went to a huge techno/electro place. It was fairly packed, but, just as I always do, I just walked through the crowd in straight lines tipping people on the chest or shoulders to make way. I am actually pretty scrawny, but nonetheless the vast majority moves out of my way automatically. Also, I don’t look around much, I never do. But more people were watching me than the other way round.
The first one was a dude. He was taller than me and much more muscular than me. Apparently, I was about to walk between him and his girl. I had not noticed his chick at all, mind you. Yet, he felt threatened and blocked my way with his back. I laughed and said “dude..” He just gave me weird look back, it was something between anger and scaredness. I really had no idea what was up with him. Obviously, I was not out to confront him so I just laughed it off and walked around him. Then I turned around slowly and now he put his arm around his girl, pulled her close and was literally afraid I would approach her. It was pretty odd.
Later that night something similar happened, but with reversed roles. Again, I was making my way through the crowd. Suddenly, a chick hugged a dude, tapped me on the chest and shook her head, signalling “no”. I asked her what the hell was up. Her behaviour was really strange because I had not even looked at her. I had not even seen her because she was much smaller than me. Then she said she thought I was going to hit on her because of the way I walked. I told her to chill and that I had not considered talking to her. Then she spouted out “but...but you are so good-looking” (another fine example of chick logic: first she is scared I talk to her and undermine her relationship with her bf, then she complains and thinks that a good-looking guy has to talk to her) -- as if it was a rule that if you walk accidentally in the direction of a girl you are supposed to hit on her. BTW, I am certainly no second Brad Pitt.
A lot of people have made the point that body language» is very important. Some said that it only has to be “good enough”, which is a view I personally don’t subscribe to because I am still impressed about the difference between having pretty good and outstanding body language». Ijjji recently made a great post on posture in Masterminds. His point was to pay special attention on how you hold your neck. The last few days I have started to incorporate this. In fact, I had thought there was nothing more to improve about my body language», but I realised that I could hold my neck even straighter. At first it felt pretty weird, but I got used to it.
