I'm curious. If 80% of the way we communicate is body language, how can I understand a single thing one of you is saying?
So I figure we should bring more body language into our posts.
Instead of 'talking' to the next person, use body language.
It can be anything you want to express to the next or previous person without words.
I'll start.
*Raises eyebrow*
*Waves*
*tucks penis into sock so that it doesn't rise up and cause embarrassment when I say 'hello'*
licks lips and nodes knowingly, undeterred by such familiar signs of feigned disinterest
Stifles a smirk and re-arranges face to a look of feigned horror.
unconsciously enlarges pupils at the sight of the enlarged nipples displayed by ladies trying to hide their desire.. remembers 'the good old days' and then lets out a limp sigh lamenting his lost virility and aging spermatozoa
*Jaw drops in horror as thread is about to be clipped*
has stunned expression caused by the irony of the fact that he once named his aging spermatozoa "Optrex"
Jaw drops with shock at tenuous link of sperm and over the counter medication for blurred vision, then looks thoughtful at connection between self abuse and poor eyesight.
slaps checks with his hands in disbelief at what Kathryn just wrote...
and then lets out a whimper of pain due to the sensation caused by the hair stubble on his palm as they brush against his face
*Wonders why Greek One would slap his checks*
Confused look changing to knowing smirk, with the realisation that Greek one is all fingers and thumbs at the key board.
knowingly looks at his fingers,.. ah yes, those big fingers....
hiding with his smile that sad fact that he really doesn't know how to spell "cheeks"
lifts up his nose thinking o himself "I can communicate better in ancient Greek"
*Wonders disparagingly whether Greek One really knows Greek at all*
wonders is Lorie is referring to language, or to the expression of ones self with body
*Hangs head in shame over miscommunication, hoping all is well*
*Wonders why Greek One is so talkative regarding his virility*
Looks demurely under eyelashes at Greek hero of the naughty prose.
*Feels badly that offense may be taken at last post*
recalls demure looks of the past and once again remembers 'the good old days'.. then lets out a limp sigh lamenting his lost virility and aging spermatozoa
Looks supportively at lorlie6 to reassure her that Greekone is unabashed by witty repost.
Ponders with pensive expression at Greek One's need to type the work spermatozoa so many times in one thread, then with a look of dawning realisation, concludes with a satisfied smirk that Greek One is a man.
Excellent! Keep up the good work!
*********
Oh, and I cross my legs, with hands folded in my lap as I turn my head up to the side in gesture to it all.
Chow!
remembers jaw dropping down by ladies in his past, and once remembers 'the good old days' and then lets out a limp sigh lamenting his lost virility and aging spermatozoa
raises eyebrows and wonders why Mythbuster is waving to WryLil since she hasn't been here in a number of days
*Sits back smugly to let Greek One and Kathryn flirt shamelessly*
crosses legs and thinks "all my flirting is full of shame"
Petulantly pouting, folds arms and refuses to play until Lorlie6 continues to bait Greek One.
Remembers that before he was married, he was often baited my masters...
the he once again remembers 'the good old days'.. then lets out a limp sigh lamenting his... yadda yadda yadda
Narrowing eyes in concentration, focusing on the repeated use of the word - 'limp' concluding that the Greek One does protest too much.
*Wiping the sleep from eyes at 2;30 am-the next day-realizes the flirt continued behind her back, then puts her head down on the keyboard to weep*
In a zombie-like trance, aware that all body language has come to a halt after hours online, resorts to posting old stand-by emoticons she always uses as a way to express tone: (me, much of the time for one reason or another)
(also me most of the time for one reason or another)
(almost as frequently me as above ones are)
(the psycho laugh that doesn't really do it, but that's better than no laugh at all)
and, of course, the over-used to the point of being meaningless,
Picks self up from that strange, sideways slump position she seems to have settled in in an attempt to sort of stay awake while looking at the screen, (planning to get two and half hours' sleep), reaches for mouse with right hand and shuts down the ...
*Giggles with a feeling of empathy toward the zombie-gal Lisa, agrees silently and wishes she could do the same*
Sleepily reads thread then shakes head with disbelief at flirting accusation.
*Sees clearly that Greek One has vamoosed, decides to leave poor Kathryn alone, then goes to get first cuppa Joe*
You've changed your avatar lorlie6! This is terrible. I was thinking of revamping mine but you've pipped me to the post.
*Stretches with pain from babysitting all night long*
*Sleepily wonders why this thread fell by the wayside*
*Thinks with sorrow how old granny is*
*ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*

Could someone write a hub on "Couple's Body Language in Pictures?"I have a few pictures that I'd like to know what the body language means. For instance, him sitting in a chair, I'm standing on the right side with my left hand on his right shoulder. Another picture, We are standing side...

Why do people give off mixed signals? What is the purpose in saying one thing while your behavior says another? Why tell lies with your mouth when your body tells the truth?I know, I know, it's redundant. My mind just works that way....
