Met a nurse back in January in ER who told every patient in there that they are mentally ill because if they sitted with their legs crossed lol. She literally went to each one and whispered "You have a lot of mental problems, look how you sit, its not normal and You need to get mental help asap." .... amazing...
As a real psychologist with real PhD, I can tell you that the majority of the info here is CRAP. Case in point....Eye Movements. Eyes moving up and right does NOT mean that you are using your imagination. Everyone is wired differently so eye movements mean different things. One more example of why you don't believe everything on the internet
I do it because my thights and i'm slightly overweight and my cloth folds in in "that" area and idk it looks weird so when i spread my legs the cloth doesn't look weird that's why I do it also yeah its so comfortable
*Uhm.. where did you get the fact that it's normal for people to stare at you in Europe? Generalizing much? I live in Sweden, and it's definitely not considered normal to stare at people. And if we happen to catch eyes we look away immediately.*
JookaBits I live in Belarus(near Russia) and everybody stares at each other in public transport. They look at each other's clothes and hairstyle and they can even discuss you with someone they know. It's pretty bad and uncomfortable. That's why i don't like Eastern Europe despite i live there
Practical I I think it's pretty common in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. But idk about other Eastern countries like Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia etc. And it's giving me some rough time because i have social anxiety and everybody is looking at me and sometimes it's unbearable :с
This is a HUGE generalization Male, 19 years old I'd like to say, I "manspread" because it's the only way I sit. Ever. Not to be dominant in anyway, since I'm shy and introverted. Conversely, I believe the way people sit has a direct connection to the way men's and women's pelvic bones are shaped, and for most, it's not a conscious thought on how you position your legs when sitting down, either. This video is like: "Now typically is the southern regions of Italy, when the left leg is crossed over the right leg and the ankle of the crossed leg meets at approximately a 33.6 degree angle, this indicates..." - ENOUGH Secondly, finger drumming has an entirely different application to me because I'm an actual drummer. I play drums on a drum set. I've been finger tapping or drumming since I was 4 years old and it has nothing to do with being frustrated or impatient. I do the same with my feet actually, and I had a girl ask me if I was a tap dancer in school. Which I'm not, but I might be good at it honestly. I could go on about the body position, like your chest being an arrow... What if you are having a conversation with more than a few people? Are you supposed to turn your whole body every time another person speaks to physically show engagement and interest in the conversation? That would be absurd and you would be perceived as if you had a social awkwardness or something. This video is pretty useless and I hope it's not being taken seriously. And I'll stop here since this is getting long winded and it's a common fact most youtube commenters have an attention span of a walnut, and will never make it to this point anyway. Thanks for reading, don't be a stranger that stares at me on the subway.
Why the hell is man spreading even a word, and why do people make such a fuss about it. If a man is uncomfortable because his genitals are being squeezed why is it looked down upon if he sits like that. Like look ladies I dare you to shove a bag of sand and a hotdog down your pants and see how uncomfortable it can be
I know right feminists can be so freaking annoying with their "omg men can be so annoying they keep wasting everyone's space like they are the king of the world," YOU DONT UNDERSTAND BITCH OMFG. sorry but I've heard people complain about "manspreading" one too many times.
Unless you have 10-pound testicles, your legs have enough space in between them to accommodate your balls when the legs are pointing forward. The reason men (and women) spread their legs is because it requires extra energy to keep their legs tight and forward, therefore making the relaxed state of "manspreading" feel more comfortable. Still, manspread as you please. Don't let people tell you what to do. (Unless people need a seat. They need space.)
Hey! I'm a girl who sits with legs open. 😑 Sitting in class I would lean all the way back, arms crossed over chest, spine curved, and legs spread. No not that way. I know what your thinking, and I would have thought the same thing lol
Im a female and I sit like that too, i sit with my legs open naturally and when I try to cross them I tend to feel unnatural and tense :// I get told often to "close my legs, have manners and be a proper lady"
I just cross my arms cause it feels comfortable. Or sometimes look away when talking to someone, to see what's going on in my surrounding, of course it depends where I am.
Since TheRichest, TheTalko, TheThings, and this channel TheHUB are all similar and are connected here are the differences: TheRichest has more boy type videos, TheTalko has more girl type videos and talks a lot about celebrities, TheThings give hacks and is not as sexist as TheTalko, TheHUB is more sarcastic. Hope it helped! Bye! :D
Jamie_ 82802 same XD "Man spreading to show dominance." TF??? Great, now I look like a sexist for not crushing my balls, thanx random video with no credibility!
I dont think they meant the normal spreading. They meant the unnecessary wide spreading that some guys are doing. You dont need to take two seats on a bus to not crush your nuts. Usually, it should be enough to spread as wide as your shoulder. Anything wider and you are overdoing it.
Attack Doge it's funny you say that I watched this video with 2 guy friends one said the same thing as you, the other loosely crosses his legs and said "so because my mother taught me not to spread I'm a confontational douch"
I can firmly guarantee that the leg movements of men don't dictate their personality its just a symptom of how their legs are built or what they did that day. If you ride a bike your not going to want to sit with your legs closed you might spread them its not a god damn science my best friend commonly sits with his legs " man spreading " and he is the most passive and shy person on the planet " a little bit of a push over" and as you can tell i'm a jerk I sit in all three ways equally this dose not mean I have some sort of multipersonality disorder. To fuck with it, it just means that I had a rough day or my legs are fat. pick one.
+Ferggerman i think someone commented about the "manspreading" thing. i'm not a dude so i'm not gonna say it means one or the other, but they said that they believed the video was referring to not normal spreading to allieve your nuts getting crushed, but rather when some men take up two seats. to quote the person directly, they added," Usually, it should be enough to spread as wide as your shoulder. Anything wider and you are overdoing it." but idk. this video was pretty vague. body language is really cool if you're SPECIFIC about what you're pointing out and when.
Seriously? Manspreading? It's called ballspace, and as the name implies, we men usually do that to stop our legs from crushing our family jewels, which are very important, both to us and the human species
When I think of Europe right now as an American chick, my only thought is. "If I go to most of Europe, am I going to raped by a Muslim." So it's getting to the point where I think Muslims have taken over Europe.
I'm sorry but when you can literally write a page talking about rape cases of your specific country and illegal immegrants coming in and raping people, then I don't care what your point is, that just looks bad and in no way helps the idea of "Ok your right most of the rape cases were fake and I feel much safer visiting your country".
Nope, my point is, that if it's going to happen, it could be anywhere, it's just your way of life, would you take a walk at 4am at an anarchist ghetto? I wouldn't, and i don't, no problems so far, never got stolen or anything. If you were able to think mathematically ,in my country of ~11 million people + summer tourist almost ~10 million and the rape cases would only be ~80 and consider the 50-50 of men and women accounted, out of 10.5 million women ~80 might be raped, now compare this to any other country, having in mind 80% of them are fake.
Darla Ribeiro well Jesus Christ mate! I'm an American stop generalizing people like that! Not all Americans are stupid hicks thank you! Go fuck yourself!
+vincent padron Many Americans get angry or defensive when it is pointed out that they are being typically American. Resorting to the intellectual equivalent of "Not all _____" On the other hand "That is so ______" can be a compliment to people of many countries around the world. This implies that most Americans hold a very negative view of what it means to be a typical American. Some just do it consciously, while others do it subconsciously. Because of this divide, there are two ways that Americans deal with these negative feelings. Guilt, which expresses itself in overly heavy criticism of the US in an attempt to disassociate yourself from the bad things that the US does. Denial, which often ends up with them working very hard to associate America with something positive to prove their superiority. It is amusing to see those two groups interact, because they deeply despise each other. Contrast "USA is the best country in the world." with "It's pretty good to be _____" the second phrase points to a mindset which is ready and willing to admit nice things about other countries.
Jennie Hollo You can't banish it, but it's definitely overused - when people say "manspreading" I imagine a man taking up 2 seats on the tube (which I saw maybe twice when I lived in London), but people use it when men take up even just a tad too much room - calm down guys
Jennie Hollo Yes today stupidly body language is misread .hahah spread legged and dominate is not world wide understood just be yourself and keep your dignity of who you are I am A grandmother and stupid females get on me too. I feel insulted by it . It is modern morals misread
avoiding eye contact doesn't necessarily mean you're lying, sometimes I avoid eye contact to be able to focus more on what am saying, since making eye contact makes me feel distracted from my thoughts
Notice how all the male leg positions were negative; dominating and self engrandising; closed natured; or argumentative and smug. While female leg positions, had a strong "power position", and were compared to a mythical chreature know for its beauty, perhaps a little biased when you consider leg positioning is always dependent on personal comfort.
The manspreading it's something that we do to stay comfortable because we need space under there, it's not anything like "dominance". Also, i saw so many girl that tends to spread their legs while sitting on a chair. What we should call that? "sluttyness"?
They are not being serious. But you did exactly what they do, you just backed up their point. People have been hating on "ManSpreading" because it's supposed to show "Dominance". That's wrong and whoever started that rumor should do some more research. They do it because they have very sensitive external organs in-between their legs and when their knees are pushed together or crossed it crushes them and hurts quite a lot. If you're a girl, put your thumbs on either side of your breast and squeeze. It most likely hurts more than that but it's a good way to imagine and understand it a bit better. They are just making an example of what people are saying about it. You completely proved their point with how stupid it is. You said that it's more comfortable to sit like that, Men are forced to sit like that because of their parts. Under no circumstance should either gender be shamed about it. In the end, it's just how we sit, it's just a small everyday thing in your life that should not be such a big deal. Sorry for such a long comment, I'm just really frustrated with all these comments about how it's wrong and how this is a way for men to oppress women. I'm a girl and understand it is totally okay for men to do it. It's just a minuscule part of the day.
That actually brings up another body language gesture. Being a man with long hair and a job where I move around quite a bit I wear my hair pulled back in a pony tail. Wearing it back like that suggests a utilitarian viewpoint.
I have never put a hair thing in my hair since I was two. I screamed and cried and ripped it out if my mother put them in my hair so she just stopped. I'm 13 now.
The thing about body language is that it is culturally specific, most of these generalizations are true for the U.S. in broad terms and some apply to Western European cultures, but not all. A good example is crossing the arms, depending on the rest of the person's posture it can denote other meanings and frequently people with neck or spinal injuries and some neuro-muscular disorders have their arms cross to relieve pressure from the injured area. In some of the Asian cultures the crossed leg with the foot pointed out or to the side can be construed as an insult as you are pointing the lowest part of your body toward another person. In several cultures direct eye contact is considered rude. Again most of these are U.S. centric and not even a true representation of just the regional diversity within the U.S.
So, I'm an improper girl... because I don't sit with my legs closed... and I'm nervous and impatient because I drum my fingers... and I'm always upset because I cross my arms? Well, better change everything about me.
Body language isn't a written language where all people with functional eyes could see them. Reading it takes a lot of body readings, and it's useful to see hidden messages. You guys seeing how your body language is actually funny. We're talking about indirect communication (body language) and how to read it. First thing first is, who are you talking to when you're writing that? The computer? Crossing arms is sign of close minded people and it's true for the most part except if you're cold or something.
+Andre Darius ...or it simply says more about your spinal/skeletal structure as to what position you subjectively find most comfortable... but sure, overanalyze everything and say you can basically read people's minds flawlessly, go ahead...
Daniel is Anonymous I can't stand that stupid expression, it's on the same dipshit level as that bullshit 'mansplaining' ... both words make my skin crawl. those terms need to go. 🎎
I cross my ankles because it's fucking comfortable. Also, I quite literally have to face my body away from people because I have a condition where one of the issues is that my head is always turned to the right. It's very hard and painful for me to turn my head to the left or look directly forward. It's not because I'm rude or disinterested. Sorry that my disability makes me look like an asshole.
If you have medical issues it's obvious that people with medical conditions will likely not fit many of these things, and that they don't apply to you. Hell it's not even that accurate at describing anyone period.
Hidden haha yeah, I know. I just find this whole video to be completely ridiculous. I'm just pointing out the flaws with their logic and that no two people are the same. For instance, they said that people are lying if they don't hold eye contact. A lot of the time, people who have anxiety have a hard time with the whole eye contact thing. I know I do. I use to be bullied for staring at people too long and now I can't look into people's eyes for more than a few seconds without getting self conscious (I didn't do the staring on purpose, I just use to have a lot of minor seizures. Not the kind of seizures people usually think of when they hear the word. It was just a little blip in my brain that caused me to stare off into space, then get really tired. It was really no big deal). So yes, I was just trying to prove a point. I'm not trying to cause a problem here. Sorry if it seemed like I was. My last sentence of that previous comment may have been a little asshole-ish. Sorry about that.
... No need to get offended over standard body language generalizations. These obviously don't apply to everyone (men in wheelchairs won't "manspread" no matter how dominant and assertive they are). Body language is a science, and like any science there are inconsistencies and outliers. The video is (relatively accurately) explaining the subconscious habits of our body language and what they tell us about people. It's that simple, and no one is calling you an asshole because your neck points at an angle.
Well that's because the part was so gringy. For women, i will explain that when a man is "man spreading" he does this without noticing. That's because we have balls in the middle that feel more comfortable in the "man spreading" position
You can tell how much a woman likes you by how she positions her feet. If they're in the crossed at the ankles position, she's not that into you. If they're positioned slightly apart, she's comfortable with you. If they're positioned behind her ears, she really likes you!
Why the hell are all these people in video so beautiful ??? Here, where i live, people are so ugly we even don't need Halloween costumes. Shit... last time i got arrested my mom came to pick me up from animal shelter.
Interesting study. Someone has a lot of time on their hands to come up with all this. Some of these things are familiar, where others were never given a second thought.
Hi TheHUB, I am a curriculum developer from a training and development company based in Singapore. I came across your wonderful video on "10 Things Body Language Says About You" and feel that showing the learners this video would be beneficial. Therefore, can I seek permission to use your video to augment my lecture in a classroom(not more than 25 learners) setting with proper crediting done. :)
about the male legs section... The "manspreading" is just a thing men do because it is more comfortable than crossing your legs as it squishes your privates The crossed legs is just plain weird because, as I previously stated, it is lest comfortable And the one horizontal leg is another form of the first position It has absolutely nothing to do with your personality
the "manspreading" I (as a women) think of it, is not guys sitting comfortably in a chair, but the douche on the bus who needs 1 1/2 seats and that shit may be comfortable but also not necessary and rude.
+Stefanie Brandstetter Have you tried asking him to move? Like, actually politely? Because last I checked, they sit that way for comfort, not "dominance". Almost all men will compress their sitting position and sacrifice personal comfort if they notice someone is trying to sit next to them, and most of the remainder will do so if asked. But of course, it's a male problem, so we have to put "man" in front of it. It's not like I have had plenty of times where there are no seats on the metro and some asshole woman has three seats because her bags apparently were too tired to sit on the floor. Do I call that "woman Spreading"? No. But I call it discourteous, because unlike the man, she does not do it because her biology dictates it. She doesn't have a center of mass above the waist that requires men to have stabilizers when sitting. Oh, you didn't know that? You didn't know that whenever a man draws his legs together, he now has to engage his core muscles and no longer rest?
While I may not frequent a bus at all, I have been on a few for intercity travel and for the longhaul going between states. I've also flown multiple times on a plane, which is arguably more cramped than a bus - more people, less personal space. But, when there is more than one seat available, or a WHOLE ROW to myself I will use that space to be comfortable. That doesn't mean I wont move for those that need the space to sit, relax, etc. That being said, I am a male, and I do sit in the 'manspreading' way. But, I have never met, seen, or come in contact with someone who takes up 1 1/2 seats just due to this thing. It's the natural way for men to sit.
H4B33B R4HM44N maybe because she has fucking knowledge and she knows there's a part of a mans body down there that might hurt if you CRUSH it when you put your legs together when you sit?
I see I'm not the only one who stopped to go to the comments once that part came up. I would say it's more of a relaxation than a thing of dominance. I'm usually the fool people go to if they need someone to get something done. Shit, I'll usually go making food and grabbing things for people, so long as I'm not too busy. You see, when you have balls, you need to give those things some air and try not to accidentally kill one. Usually it's either the crossed legs or spreading in sitting down for this. The thing about crossed legs is that it exposes less crotch, so people assume less of it, but it's nowhere near as relaxed as spreading. Besides that, spreading is less effort to get up and has less likelihood of those scenarios where your ankle is bothered from being up for so long. It's not all that symbolic, it's just aesthetics and practicalities.
First off, guys spread their legs as standard sitting because sitting with our legs level and together literally suffocates our testicles. If a dude's legs are ever side by side at the same level, and touching, they should get out from the cramp chair they are in and move because no man would sit like that, it's simply not a natural thing to do. Legs together and crossed however give some room there, so that's why men typically sit with their legs spread apart, or crossed, never together and uncrossed. Second off, "manspreading"? Really? plenty of girls sit without their legs together, no not typically if they wear a dress or skirt or anything, but if you ever are around them when they are comfortable and relaxed, they often sit with their legs apart as well. It's simply comfortable and a stable sitting position. "Manspreading" became a thing because insecure women that for some reason think they have to keep their legs closed because they are woman made up because they think, like this video is saying, that men sitting in that way is somehow dominance thing. No. It's not. Swear to god every man of any kind will sit down completely naturally in that position by the time their balls have dropped and on.
Hidden As a woman, thank you. "Manspreading" is one of the cringy-est things I've heard from the viral feminist movement. If we wanted to talk about how, at a young age, women are taught that having our legs un-crossed is impolite or even a sexual invitation then by all means, let's talk about it. It's a double standard. But times are changing and most men who are "spreading" just are being comfortable in the space they're sitting in. It's not a power move. If some dude on the bus is taking up two seats I don't sigh and call it manspreading. I say, "excuse me, could you move over a little?" and sit next to him. Probably he'll be fine with that and if he's not, well, jerks come in all genders. :)
the reason I sit with my legs apart is because it's uncomfortable to sit with them together, not because I think that I'm better than every1 else, and I think it's more common for woman to have their bags taking up seats
ラムネ Ramune i would like you to write right now what feminism means. Cause if you know the real definition of it and not the internet version and still don't support it? We're literally in the 1800's again
Their purpose has changed since the 1800 my dude I can't support the 2017 feminazis who like to call themselves feminist, (cause not all of them are insane) I would support them as much as I can if this was still like they we're in 1800's
The funny part is for a lot of those body laugage things I've dine. I've felt the same exact emotions that they describe with certain body language massierisms
So if a guy in a bar, has a mad face looking at me, showing me his teeth, his hands are like fists pointing at me......he probably wants a hug from me right? Because is a stereotype right?
I think the stereotypical part of this is not what you describe but more the way people idealize the psychology of body language and want to become super body analyzers without thinkng all the nuances you should apply. people read these kind of list "arms this way = this, legs this way = that" and want to apply it too litterally. i dont know, for an example, the thing were you look right or left and it tells you are using your memory or your imagination, it doesn't seem really logical (or at least not nuanced enough) to me because memory works in a strange way, sometimes our memories are fabrication of our minds, they are reconstitutions, they aren't always totally true to the reality of the events, even if you are honest saying it. If I tell a false memory like if it was a fact of my life because that's what I believe, I would look to the side of the memory, it doesn't mean what i am saying i true.
It is a bunch of stereotypes, but they are generally correct and make it easier to read strangers, since strangers communicate with body language more naturally than friends do.
I wouldn't call it exactly stereotypical. Body language isn't as assumptious as modern stereotypes, it's a psychological reflection of how the person feels; most of those signs are pretty obvious if you've spent some time with people and paid attention to how they move, where they look at, how they talk even. Most of us do things like tapping on objects when we're feeling impatient or taking up a ''wider'' and straighter posture when we are feeling confident. Those are not hard to miss. I know people don't like being judged by anything, because the sheer sound of that is a bit oppressing, but knowing basic body language is helpful, because it helps us understand each other.
i guess all the instagram models and celebrities who cross their ankles are scared of something. its a trend now. ans also the men crossing his leg like a woman i always thought they were gay in some form but that was over 2 years ago/
If someone I didn't know (a male) walked up behind me and put their hand on my shoulder to give me flowers, I would freak out. I can't stand someone (anyone) coming up behind me all of a sudden without any warning.
The key when reading any body language or nonverbal communication is to first know a person's baseline behavior and to be mindful of the context. There are a lot of generalizations when it comes to interpreting body language and although there is truth to them, baseline and context, can make or mislead the interpretation.
nowadays you can't even fucking sit

Maybe because it's true...In Eastern Europe

This is a HUGE generalization
Male, 19 years old
I'd like to say, I "manspread" because it's the only way I sit. Ever. Not to be dominant in anyway, since I'm shy and introverted. Conversely, I believe the way people sit has a direct connection to the way men's and women's pelvic bones are shaped, and for most, it's not a conscious thought on how you position your legs when sitting down, either. This video is like: "Now typically is the southern regions of Italy, when the left leg is crossed over the right leg and the ankle of the crossed leg meets at approximately a 33.6 degree angle, this indicates..." - ENOUGH
Secondly, finger drumming has an entirely different application to me because I'm an actual drummer. I play drums on a drum set. I've been finger tapping or drumming since I was 4 years old and it has nothing to do with being frustrated or impatient. I do the same with my feet actually, and I had a girl ask me if I was a tap dancer in school. Which I'm not, but I might be good at it honestly.
I could go on about the body position, like your chest being an arrow... What if you are having a conversation with more than a few people? Are you supposed to turn your whole body every time another person speaks to physically show engagement and interest in the conversation? That would be absurd and you would be perceived as if you had a social awkwardness or something.
This video is pretty useless and I hope it's not being taken seriously.
And I'll stop here since this is getting long winded and it's a common fact most youtube commenters have an attention span of a walnut, and will never make it to this point anyway.

Why the hell is man spreading even a word, and why do people make such a fuss about it. If a man is uncomfortable because his genitals are being squeezed why is it looked down upon if he sits like that. Like look ladies I dare you to shove a bag of sand and a hotdog down your pants and see how uncomfortable it can be
I went to the subway in NYC and i locked eyes with some other dude i could almost hear battle music!
I want your scientific sources and references.
Dunn Jefferson this! I second it.
looking away is a sign of low self esteem and lack of confidence doesn't mean they are a liar. I find people who lie BLINK like crazy while doing it
I have low self esteem, so this happens to me, and I have horrible allergies so I constantly blink
toasty or if they touch their lips
In the video, it says 'dishonest'. This word and liar isn't the same. Being a liar is a dishonest, but being a dishonest isn't a liar.
The only thing that manspreading shows is the desire to be comfortable.
TheRoyalCat lmao so true
I know right feminists can be so freaking annoying with their "omg men can be so annoying they keep wasting everyone's space like they are the king of the world," YOU DONT UNDERSTAND BITCH OMFG.
sorry but I've heard people complain about "manspreading" one too many times.
SportStacker78 I feel you
Unless you have 10-pound testicles, your legs have enough space in between them to accommodate your balls when the legs are pointing forward. The reason men (and women) spread their legs is because it requires extra energy to keep their legs tight and forward, therefore making the relaxed state of "manspreading" feel more comfortable. Still, manspread as you please. Don't let people tell you what to do. (Unless people need a seat. They need space.)
Nonwibb Yeah, that too, personally though, my testes are problematic on occasion. 😆
Hey! I'm a girl who sits with legs open. 😑 Sitting in class I would lean all the way back, arms crossed over chest, spine curved, and legs spread. No not that way. I know what your thinking, and I would have thought the same thing lol
a girl named eric
+fiecid exactly what i thought
Im a female and I sit like that too, i sit with my legs open naturally and when I try to cross them I tend to feel unnatural and tense :// I get told often to "close my legs, have manners and be a proper lady"
thekawaiibosnian no wonder by a gorgeous woman..
I am female and I "you DA man" talk my self all the time...

SOul OdiLe im a male and i dont.
SOul OdiLe YOU DA MAAAANNN
Echo in the Mirror YOU DA MAN TOOOO
can someone say I am da man I need motivation please
I just cross my arms cause it feels comfortable. Or sometimes look away when talking to someone, to see what's going on in my surrounding, of course it depends where I am.
Since TheRichest, TheTalko, TheThings, and this channel TheHUB are all similar and are connected here are the differences:
TheRichest has more boy type videos, TheTalko has more girl type videos and talks a lot about celebrities, TheThings give hacks and is not as sexist as TheTalko, TheHUB is more sarcastic. Hope it helped! Bye! :D

Jamie_ 82802 same XD
"Man spreading to show dominance." TF???
Great, now I look like a sexist for not crushing my balls, thanx random video with no credibility!
I dont think they meant the normal spreading. They meant the unnecessary wide spreading that some guys are doing. You dont need to take two seats on a bus to not crush your nuts. Usually, it should be enough to spread as wide as your shoulder. Anything wider and you are overdoing it.
+Jamie_82802 Did you figuratively agree with anything?
Attack Doge it's funny you say that I watched this video with 2 guy friends one said the same thing as you, the other loosely crosses his legs and said "so because my mother taught me not to spread I'm a confontational douch"
Jamie_ 82802 same
I can firmly guarantee that the leg movements of men don't dictate their personality its just a symptom of how their legs are built or what they did that day. If you ride a bike your not going to want to sit with your legs closed you might spread them its not a god damn science my best friend commonly sits with his legs " man spreading " and he is the most passive and shy person on the planet " a little bit of a push over" and as you can tell i'm a jerk I sit in all three ways equally this dose not mean I have some sort of multipersonality disorder. To fuck with it, it just means that I had a rough day or my legs are fat. pick one.
+Ferggerman i think someone commented about the "manspreading" thing. i'm not a dude so i'm not gonna say it means one or the other, but they said that they believed the video was referring to not normal spreading to allieve your nuts getting crushed, but rather when some men take up two seats. to quote the person directly, they added," Usually, it should be enough to spread as wide as your shoulder. Anything wider and you are overdoing it."
but idk. this video was pretty vague. body language is really cool if you're SPECIFIC about what you're pointing out and when.
Well I guess I'm not human. The way I show I like someone is when I throw an apple at them.
If they catch the Apple then you would be considered engaged in Greek and Roman culture
Seriously? Manspreading? It's called ballspace, and as the name implies, we men usually do that to stop our legs from crushing our family jewels, which are very important, both to us and the human species
Mitchell Bewick XD True,
beautifully told!
*claps*
Mitchell Bewick couldn't have said it better myself.
Mitchell Bewick my hats off to you sir.
Steven, I didn't know cats had lips.
Did she just said eastern Europe and showed up a Pakistani guy?
When I think of Europe right now as an American chick, my only thought is. "If I go to most of Europe, am I going to raped by a Muslim." So it's getting to the point where I think Muslims have taken over Europe.
I'm sorry but when you can literally write a page talking about rape cases of your specific country and illegal immegrants coming in and raping people, then I don't care what your point is, that just looks bad and in no way helps the idea of "Ok your right most of the rape cases were fake and I feel much safer visiting your country".
Nope, my point is, that if it's going to happen, it could be anywhere, it's just your way of life, would you take a walk at 4am at an anarchist ghetto? I wouldn't, and i don't, no problems so far, never got stolen or anything. If you were able to think mathematically ,in my country of ~11 million people + summer tourist almost ~10 million and the rape cases would only be ~80 and consider the 50-50 of men and women accounted, out of 10.5 million women ~80 might be raped, now compare this to any other country, having in mind 80% of them are fake.
Yay for white fright.
Ye, they did. Just like stupidity took over America.
People staring at you in eastern europe is normal? Is this some alternative reality?
Martin Kunev I'm not sure I haven't been to Eastern Europe
Well, I have lived in eastern europe for more than 25 years.
Darla Ribeiro well Jesus Christ mate! I'm an American stop generalizing people like that! Not all Americans are stupid hicks thank you! Go fuck yourself!
what a demonstration of American kindness. I'm flattered
+vincent padron
Many Americans get angry or defensive when it is pointed out that they are being typically American. Resorting to the intellectual equivalent of "Not all _____"
On the other hand "That is so ______" can be a compliment to people of many countries around the world.
This implies that most Americans hold a very negative view of what it means to be a typical American. Some just do it consciously, while others do it subconsciously. Because of this divide, there are two ways that Americans deal with these negative feelings.
Guilt, which expresses itself in overly heavy criticism of the US in an attempt to disassociate yourself from the bad things that the US does.
Denial, which often ends up with them working very hard to associate America with something positive to prove their superiority.
It is amusing to see those two groups interact, because they deeply despise each other.
Contrast "USA is the best country in the world." with "It's pretty good to be _____" the second phrase points to a mindset which is ready and willing to admit nice things about other countries.

"manspread" needs to be banished from the English language
All words are made up.
Jennie Hollo You can't banish it, but it's definitely overused - when people say "manspreading" I imagine a man taking up 2 seats on the tube (which I saw maybe twice when I lived in London), but people use it when men take up even just a tad too much room - calm down guys
Jennie Hollo
Yes today stupidly body language is misread .hahah spread legged and dominate is not world wide understood just be yourself and keep your dignity of who you are I am
A grandmother and stupid females get on me too. I feel insulted by it . It is modern morals misread
How about words like moist, fetus, smear, phlegm, mucus. Banish those as well.

Notice how all the male leg positions were negative; dominating and self engrandising; closed natured; or argumentative and smug. While female leg positions, had a strong "power position", and were compared to a mythical chreature know for its beauty, perhaps a little biased when you consider leg positioning is always dependent on personal comfort.
The manspreading it's something that we do to stay comfortable because we need space under there, it's not anything like "dominance". Also, i saw so many girl that tends to spread their legs while sitting on a chair. What we should call that? "sluttyness"?
Federay I think 'whorespread' is closer to the mark ahaha
yes, because spreading my legs in order to be more comfortable while sitting makes me a whore. Yikes...
ahaha
They are not being serious. But you did exactly what they do, you just backed up their point. People have been hating on "ManSpreading" because it's supposed to show "Dominance". That's wrong and whoever started that rumor should do some more research. They do it because they have very sensitive external organs in-between their legs and when their knees are pushed together or crossed it crushes them and hurts quite a lot. If you're a girl, put your thumbs on either side of your breast and squeeze. It most likely hurts more than that but it's a good way to imagine and understand it a bit better. They are just making an example of what people are saying about it. You completely proved their point with how stupid it is. You said that it's more comfortable to sit like that, Men are forced to sit like that because of their parts. Under no circumstance should either gender be shamed about it. In the end, it's just how we sit, it's just a small everyday thing in your life that should not be such a big deal. Sorry for such a long comment, I'm just really frustrated with all these comments about how it's wrong and how this is a way for men to oppress women. I'm a girl and understand it is totally okay for men to do it. It's just a minuscule part of the day.

sitting with your legs spread doesnt have shit to do with personality... it means you have balls that would rather not be squished
k&w video's they said "man spreading" ! 😂 fucking SJWs
Why is this funny
i got big legs from all the squats. i could never cross my legs like that. and my balls are sweaty as they are already
Lol was thinking the same thing 😂😂.. fuck she mean "manspreading" 😂
It just shows that you are more confident not the personality
Or maybe men that 'man spread' just have balls

I only put my hair back because its in my face. Like if you do too
That actually brings up another body language gesture. Being a man with long hair and a job where I move around quite a bit I wear my hair pulled back in a pony tail. Wearing it back like that suggests a utilitarian viewpoint.
I have never put a hair thing in my hair since I was two. I screamed and cried and ripped it out if my mother put them in my hair so she just stopped. I'm 13 now.

Uhhmmm, please explain?
fun fact i wouldve been more likely to like if u didn't say to like it
*I ALWAYS DO THE CONFIDENT LEG THING. BUT I'M NEVER CONFIDENT*
*BUT I ALWAYS DO THE BACKWARDS ARM THING*
The thing about body language is that it is culturally specific, most of these generalizations are true for the U.S. in broad terms and some apply to Western European cultures, but not all. A good example is crossing the arms, depending on the rest of the person's posture it can denote other meanings and frequently people with neck or spinal injuries and some neuro-muscular disorders have their arms cross to relieve pressure from the injured area. In some of the Asian cultures the crossed leg with the foot pointed out or to the side can be construed as an insult as you are pointing the lowest part of your body toward another person. In several cultures direct eye contact is considered rude. Again most of these are U.S. centric and not even a true representation of just the regional diversity within the U.S.
yes, i am VERY impolite bc i don't like dresses and skirts so my legs are spread out, VERY USEFUL INFO YOU GOT HERE.
You. Just. Spread. Your. Legs. It's. Comfortable
Preach. Honestly, I can sit however the fuck I want, and wear whatever the fuck I want. I don’t understand all of this stereotype bullshit.

Can I see
So, I'm an improper girl... because I don't sit with my legs closed... and I'm nervous and impatient because I drum my fingers... and I'm always upset because I cross my arms? Well, better change everything about me.
Body language isn't a written language where all people with functional eyes could see them. Reading it takes a lot of body readings, and it's useful to see hidden messages.
You guys seeing how your body language is actually funny. We're talking about indirect communication (body language) and how to read it. First thing first is, who are you talking to when you're writing that? The computer? Crossing arms is sign of close minded people and it's true for the most part except if you're cold or something.
+Andre Darius ...or it simply says more about your spinal/skeletal structure as to what position you subjectively find most comfortable... but sure, overanalyze everything and say you can basically read people's minds flawlessly, go ahead...

I cross my ankles because it's fucking comfortable. Also, I quite literally have to face my body away from people because I have a condition where one of the issues is that my head is always turned to the right. It's very hard and painful for me to turn my head to the left or look directly forward. It's not because I'm rude or disinterested. Sorry that my disability makes me look like an asshole.
If you have medical issues it's obvious that people with medical conditions will likely not fit many of these things, and that they don't apply to you. Hell it's not even that accurate at describing anyone period.
Hidden haha yeah, I know. I just find this whole video to be completely ridiculous. I'm just pointing out the flaws with their logic and that no two people are the same. For instance, they said that people are lying if they don't hold eye contact. A lot of the time, people who have anxiety have a hard time with the whole eye contact thing. I know I do. I use to be bullied for staring at people too long and now I can't look into people's eyes for more than a few seconds without getting self conscious (I didn't do the staring on purpose, I just use to have a lot of minor seizures. Not the kind of seizures people usually think of when they hear the word. It was just a little blip in my brain that caused me to stare off into space, then get really tired. It was really no big deal). So yes, I was just trying to prove a point. I'm not trying to cause a problem here. Sorry if it seemed like I was. My last sentence of that previous comment may have been a little asshole-ish. Sorry about that.
...
No need to get offended over standard body language generalizations. These obviously don't apply to everyone (men in wheelchairs won't "manspread" no matter how dominant and assertive they are).
Body language is a science, and like any science there are inconsistencies and outliers. The video is (relatively accurately) explaining the subconscious habits of our body language and what they tell us about people. It's that simple, and no one is calling you an asshole because your neck points at an angle.
ThunderWingPony I just did that... it's comfortable
Respect
Keep scrolling to hear the complaints of the words "man spreading"
Well that's because the part was so gringy. For women, i will explain that when a man is "man spreading" he does this without noticing. That's because we have balls in the middle that feel more comfortable in the "man spreading" position
That, I understood perfectly! Some people just love to ignore the fact that girls and guys don't share the same anatomy! XD
when she said man spreading i was heart broken.
You can tell how much a woman likes you by how she positions her feet. If they're in the crossed at the ankles position, she's not that into you. If they're positioned slightly apart, she's comfortable with you. If they're positioned behind her ears, she really likes you!

Hi TheHUB,
I am a curriculum developer from a training and development company based in Singapore. I came across your wonderful video on "10 Things Body Language Says About You" and feel that showing the learners this video would be beneficial.
Therefore, can I seek permission to use your video to augment my lecture in a classroom(not more than 25 learners) setting with proper crediting done. :)
That manspreading thing better have been a joke
about the male legs section...
The "manspreading" is just a thing men do because it is more comfortable than crossing your legs as it squishes your privates
The crossed legs is just plain weird because, as I previously stated, it is lest comfortable
And the one horizontal leg is another form of the first position
It has absolutely nothing to do with your personality
the "manspreading" I (as a women) think of it, is not guys sitting comfortably in a chair, but the douche on the bus who needs 1 1/2 seats and that shit may be comfortable but also not necessary and rude.
+Stefanie Brandstetter Have you tried asking him to move? Like, actually politely? Because last I checked, they sit that way for comfort, not "dominance". Almost all men will compress their sitting position and sacrifice personal comfort if they notice someone is trying to sit next to them, and most of the remainder will do so if asked. But of course, it's a male problem, so we have to put "man" in front of it. It's not like I have had plenty of times where there are no seats on the metro and some asshole woman has three seats because her bags apparently were too tired to sit on the floor. Do I call that "woman Spreading"? No. But I call it discourteous, because unlike the man, she does not do it because her biology dictates it. She doesn't have a center of mass above the waist that requires men to have stabilizers when sitting. Oh, you didn't know that? You didn't know that whenever a man draws his legs together, he now has to engage his core muscles and no longer rest?
+Stefanie Brandstetter And, unlike the man, I have been hard pressed to find a woman with bags on a seat who is willing to move those bags.
+Stefanie Brandstetter Feminazi.
While I may not frequent a bus at all, I have been on a few for intercity travel and for the longhaul going between states. I've also flown multiple times on a plane, which is arguably more cramped than a bus - more people, less personal space. But, when there is more than one seat available, or a WHOLE ROW to myself I will use that space to be comfortable. That doesn't mean I wont move for those that need the space to sit, relax, etc. That being said, I am a male, and I do sit in the 'manspreading' way. But, I have never met, seen, or come in contact with someone who takes up 1 1/2 seats just due to this thing. It's the natural way for men to sit.
Stopped watching the moment 'Manspreading' came up. What a joke.
yeah but youre a woman so how would you no about anything
H4B33B R4HM44N maybe because she has fucking knowledge and she knows there's a part of a mans body down there that might hurt if you CRUSH it when you put your legs together when you sit?
nocringeplease it was a joke dumbass
I see I'm not the only one who stopped to go to the comments once that part came up. I would say it's more of a relaxation than a thing of dominance. I'm usually the fool people go to if they need someone to get something done. Shit, I'll usually go making food and grabbing things for people, so long as I'm not too busy.
You see, when you have balls, you need to give those things some air and try not to accidentally kill one. Usually it's either the crossed legs or spreading in sitting down for this. The thing about crossed legs is that it exposes less crotch, so people assume less of it, but it's nowhere near as relaxed as spreading. Besides that, spreading is less effort to get up and has less likelihood of those scenarios where your ankle is bothered from being up for so long. It's not all that symbolic, it's just aesthetics and practicalities.
Sorry for manspreading, WE HAVE BALLS THAT GET SQUEEZED BY OUR THIGHS DUH.
First off, guys spread their legs as standard sitting because sitting with our legs level and together literally suffocates our testicles. If a dude's legs are ever side by side at the same level, and touching, they should get out from the cramp chair they are in and move because no man would sit like that, it's simply not a natural thing to do. Legs together and crossed however give some room there, so that's why men typically sit with their legs spread apart, or crossed, never together and uncrossed.
Second off, "manspreading"? Really? plenty of girls sit without their legs together, no not typically if they wear a dress or skirt or anything, but if you ever are around them when they are comfortable and relaxed, they often sit with their legs apart as well. It's simply comfortable and a stable sitting position. "Manspreading" became a thing because insecure women that for some reason think they have to keep their legs closed because they are woman made up because they think, like this video is saying, that men sitting in that way is somehow dominance thing. No. It's not. Swear to god every man of any kind will sit down completely naturally in that position by the time their balls have dropped and on.
Hidden As a woman, thank you. "Manspreading" is one of the cringy-est things I've heard from the viral feminist movement. If we wanted to talk about how, at a young age, women are taught that having our legs un-crossed is impolite or even a sexual invitation then by all means, let's talk about it. It's a double standard. But times are changing and most men who are "spreading" just are being comfortable in the space they're sitting in. It's not a power move.
If some dude on the bus is taking up two seats I don't sigh and call it manspreading. I say, "excuse me, could you move over a little?" and sit next to him. Probably he'll be fine with that and if he's not, well, jerks come in all genders. :)
Sinister Sweet Thank you. May we all ever rest our legs in whatever comfy posture we may.
2:00 no 'the hub', it's not because of that. I do that and I'm not domanant. It's because it is the most comfortable position when your a man.
Yeah that's the point. I think they are only making this video to make me feel bad.
Alistair Shiels Don't give yourself all the credit buddy ;P
............😏
G
Alistair Shiels Yeah, otherwise your baby-makers/goodies get crushed. (If you're stupid = I was talking about testicles)
the reason I sit with my legs apart is because it's uncomfortable to sit with them together, not because I think that I'm better than every1 else, and I think it's more common for woman to have their bags taking up seats
"Manspreading" No. Just no. Also leg position means nothing.

ラムネ Ramune i would like you to write right now what feminism means. Cause if you know the real definition of it and not the internet version and still don't support it? We're literally in the 1800's again
Their purpose has changed since the 1800 my dude I can't support the 2017 feminazis who like to call themselves feminist, (cause not all of them are insane) I would support them as much as I can if this was still like they we're in 1800's

The funny part is for a lot of those body laugage things I've dine. I've felt the same exact emotions that they describe with certain body language massierisms
The whole thing about "body language" is just a bunch of stereotypes. We should not judge people like this.
So if a guy in a bar, has a mad face looking at me, showing me his teeth, his hands are like fists pointing at me......he probably wants a hug from me right? Because is a stereotype right?
I think the stereotypical part of this is not what you describe but more the way people idealize the psychology of body language and want to become super body analyzers without thinkng all the nuances you should apply. people read these kind of list "arms this way = this, legs this way = that" and want to apply it too litterally. i dont know, for an example, the thing were you look right or left and it tells you are using your memory or your imagination, it doesn't seem really logical (or at least not nuanced enough) to me because memory works in a strange way, sometimes our memories are fabrication of our minds, they are reconstitutions, they aren't always totally true to the reality of the events, even if you are honest saying it. If I tell a false memory like if it was a fact of my life because that's what I believe, I would look to the side of the memory, it doesn't mean what i am saying i true.
It is a bunch of stereotypes, but they are generally correct and make it easier to read strangers, since strangers communicate with body language more naturally than friends do.
I wouldn't call it exactly stereotypical. Body language isn't as assumptious as modern stereotypes, it's a psychological reflection of how the person feels; most of those signs are pretty obvious if you've spent some time with people and paid attention to how they move, where they look at, how they talk even. Most of us do things like tapping on objects when we're feeling impatient or taking up a ''wider'' and straighter posture when we are feeling confident. Those are not hard to miss. I know people don't like being judged by anything, because the sheer sound of that is a bit oppressing, but knowing basic body language is helpful, because it helps us understand each other.
i guess all the instagram models and celebrities who cross their ankles are scared of something. its a trend now.
ans also the men crossing his leg like a woman i always thought they were gay in some form but that was over 2 years ago/
So if i hace eye contact with videos it means im interisted in them 😂😂

Visionary no, it isn't. She is REALLY good...
I think the girl i from that awful cancer watchmojo

Visionary true!!!
If someone I didn't know (a male) walked up behind me and put their hand on my shoulder to give me flowers, I would freak out. I can't stand someone (anyone) coming up behind me all of a sudden without any warning.
Melissa - why is that? Did you have a bad experience? I can usually look to see if someone is coming up behind me
I do all of the male leg positions then what the hell am I!

The key when reading any body language or nonverbal communication is to first know a person's baseline behavior and to be mindful of the context. There are a lot of generalizations when it comes to interpreting body language and although there is truth to them, baseline and context, can make or mislead the interpretation.
