Body Language - Head Tilt

[lakeshore]

Just read this on a body language website, thought it was interesting.

People who tilt their head to the right by a few degrees are seen as more trustworthy whereas a tilt to the left is seen as more attractive.

my left or your left?

my left or your left?

Hehehe - I am dyslexic, I get confused which is left or right in any case... :rock:

 

[lakeshore]

my left or your left?

i assume your left.

body language is fairly interesting. The more you read about it, the more you notice little details when interacting with other people.

Not always easy or possible to interpret correctly but it does make you pay attention which leads to more meaningful interactions with people i believe.

hey, thanks for the source lakeshore

I mean, there is a KIND of logic to the this head tilting but the article isn't exactly verbose on the topic, it is 5 lines longs and says "recent studies demonstrate"

I would ask the people involved in the article:

what studies?
who did the studies?
is it peer-reviewed?
has the data been misunderstood?

All imporant questions.

It is still an interesting find, nice work

All I know about tilting your head is that it means you are submissive... When girls do it it's SEXY but if you're a guy DON'T do it!! It exposes your neck...

I hear what you're saying. Too often we see something online and assume its fact. Its good to ask questions.

Tilting to the right has been associated with listening and being interested in what the other person is saying I believe. This makes sense as I catch myself doing it when "genuinely" interested in what the other is saying.


The tilting to the left seems more of like a "cute" gesture. Like kind of a warm, mesmerized feeling you get around that person. If she is sitting with her head tilted to the left and you notice her toes/foot lift up and point up she without a doubt likes you. (based on what i've read, this means they are experiencing something positive, i've caught myself doing that also)


Another link that mentions head tilt near the middle of the article.
