Talking isnt Speaking

First off, those of you who are wondering where "Attraction: The End" comes in, well...this is it. sort of. At the end of the last real entry, I said to go talk to her. Now really after that then your on your own. I did think that it was important to explain what "talking" encompassed. I didn't want to talk specifically regarding attraction, because honestly, there's books for that kind of thing. [Magic Bullets by Mystery, but you didn't hear that from me] I wanted to branch out and try to give a brief understanding of talking.

A recent study shows that while we are "talking", 55% of communication is through our body language, 38% in voice tone/inflections, and only 7% is from the actual words we are speaking.
Seven percent of talking is what we are actually saying. In comparison, Fifty-five percent is through body language. This is everything from your stance, to how you shake someones hand. Think of the most popular person you know, then ask yourself why he or she is so popular. Chances are your answer was something to the effect of "he just seems so sure of himself/herself". Okay, but why? Let's go out to the bar to find out!

Look at Joe Hollywood over there having people flocking to him. How do they know he's confident? Just look at him standing there, his thumb hooked into a belt loop on his jeans. When someone comes up he looks them in the eye and gives them a firm, hearty handshake. He has that low, smooth voice that is warm yet firm at the same time. When he tells someone something, he tells them once, and only once. All these things that I just pointed out, Joe has no idea that he is doing them. He's just confident, and knows what he wants, therefore his body acts out his feelings accordingly.

How about Freddy Quick over by the pool tables, leaning up against the wall? He's up to no good, probably a pool hustler. What? How do I know? Well lets look at him. Leaning on the wall, arms folded over each other in front of his chest. He isn't looking anywhere or at anyone, that floor he's staring at must be very fascinating. Oh, wait, he just shot a sideways glance at the new guy walking up to the table. Now watch when pretty boy there asks him for a game. Just like I thought, a very quiet hello without making eye contact. I almost feel bad for whats going to happen next, Freddy's gonna take his money like candy from a baby. I knew he looked suspicious.

See that girl over there, name's Michelle. She's gotta be pretty boys girlfriend cause, well, just look at the way shes biting her nails and working on her cuticles, she knows about Freddy. She can just see him about to take her guys money, unfortunately pretty boy wont listen to anyone.Ha, its kind of interesting to see her sitting like a stone statue. Really, as much as shes petrified at the thought of whats about to happen, she'll also be the first one to jump all over him in anger for being such a blind idiot. And there goes the game. Oh yeah, shes getting pissed off, on the edge of her seat, running her fingers through her hair. If pretty boy was smart he'd just run now. Too late, shes already up with her hands on her hips, foot tapping the floor.

Without hearing a word, we can read the conversations.
