Sydney Sweeney's body language with her fiancé, Jonathan Davino and her co-star, Glen Powell
THERE are significant differences in how actress Sydney
Sweeney has been carrying herself in public recently, according to a body
language expert.
Sweeney stars in the new film Anyone But
You alongside Glen Powell and has been engaged to Jonathan Davino since early 2022.

Sweeney and Powell - who sparked rumors earlier this year while looking flirty on set - have been promoting the recently released film.
Davino has also joined for some of Sweeney's appearances,
including earlier this week in Sydney, Australia.
But there have been some stark contrasts in how Sweeney has
carried herself around the two.
Body language expert Patti Wood spoke exclusively to The
U.S. Sun to explain the differences in Sweeney's posture and positioning around
each of the men.
In photos of
Sweeney and Davino about to board a private jet following a red-carpet
appearance in Sydney, Wood noticed some friction.
"She's got
so much tension in her body," the expert said of Sweeney.
But Wood noted
that Sweeney's super high heels and the fact that she had to hold her dress up
affected how she carried herself.
Sweeney looked
over her shoulder at Davino in one snap, which Wood said was "not a
pleasant look."
“It is like
a little bubble beside her head would be saying 'Ew.’”
Wood said that could
have been because she had to climb stairs with an initial big step up to get on
the plane in those high heels.
“That's the only
time there’s a moment between them," she said.
"The only
moment that she is sharing with him is that 'What the heck am I supposed to
do?' And he cannot really help her.”

'DOESN'T REALLY WANT TO BE THERE'
But Sweeney was not alone in her seeming discomfort.
Wood said of Davino: “More than anything, it just feels
like he is awkward, more like a kid dressed for Sunday school and does not want
to be dressed up.
"That's the way his body language is - as if he
doesn’t really want to be there."
Wood called Davino's leg placement awkward, along with his
choice of shoes with his suit and how he is holding his arms.
"I’m getting this, 'I'm not where I want to be' kind
of vibe from him," she said.
In all the images of the couple, Wood could physically see
Sweeney's discomfort.
"She is holding the dress right at her 'private parts'
- so she is not showing that elegant-ness, ‘I’m super confident’ vibe,"
Wood said.
"Even though she's gorgeous in that dress, she doesn't
feel that.
"I’m getting the vibe that he's not helping her feel
that," Wood said of Davino.
“He's not giving her a reassuring touch; he’s not learning
toward her ... [with her look back at him] there’s sort of an expectation that
he should help her and he's not fulfilling that role."

'COMPLETELY DIFFERENT HER'
In a separate shot of Sweeney from the same evening, where she’s posing and confident, Wood picked up significant differences.
“This is a completely different her,” Wood said, comparing Sweeney with Davino to one particular press photo of the solo starlet.

Analysis of the Body Language in the Republican Presidential Nominee Debates. Ramaswamy, Desantis, Haley and Christie's Body Language, Debate
Key Moments and Nonverbal Analysis of the Republican Debates
Below are my rough notes in preparation for my TV interview
1: RAMASWAMY Attacking Haley about not being able to name PROVINCES
Vivek - “It is one thing
that Joe Biden and Nikki Haley have in common. Is that neither of them could
even state for you three provinces in eastern Ukraine that they want to send
our troops to fight for. Look at that. This is what I want people to
understand. She has no idea what the names of those provinces are but wants to
send our sons, daughters, and military equipment to go fight it.”
My read - Ramaswamy FINGER
WAGGING Pointing– He did throughout the debates as a symbolic weapon, which was
not even acceptable in debates until a few years ago, but here it's worse he is
attacking a woman, yelling, and pointing over and over. You can say oh it is a
speech but in domestic violence and my threat assessment work that is a red
flag warning that the man wants to physically hurt you.
It reminded me of the
Hilary Clinton Trump debate where he came across the stage and stalked up her
as she spoke. This is no small nonverbal behavior.
2: CHRISTIE
RAMASWAMY BLOWHARD (CHRISTIE ATTACKING RAMASWAMY)
Christie: “We see it on
video. We confront you on the debate stage. You say you did not say it and back
away. This is the fourth debate and you will be
voted in the first 20 minutes as the most obnoxious blowhard in
America so shut up for a little while. (cheers).”
My read - Christie – It is a
sword fight; you see Christie finger-pointing and wagging and Ramaswamy
pointing back. Christie's is Matching and Mirroring that level of violence.
Christie is relaxed resting his arm on the podium, in a nonverbal response that
says, “I have been fighting in the real world all my life buddy, you can’t
scare me.” Nonverbal Response
3: Video of Haley being
attacked HALEY ATTENTION FELLAS
DeSantis: “We know from
her history that Nikki will cave to those big donors when it counts”
//flash//Ramaswamy: “The only person more fascist than the Biden regime now is
Nikki Haley who thinks the government should identify every one of those
individuals with an ID. That is now freedom, that is fascism and she should
come nowhere near the levels of power let alone the white house.”
//flash//Haley: “I love all the attention fellas, thank you for that.”
My read - They Attacked
Haley for a good twelve minutes at the beginning of the debates. Their yelling,
angry faces, verbal insults, and the length of time were clear behavioral
indications. They think she is the one to beat. Notice she smiles, it is a
little bit tight, but her voice is warm and lilting beauty pageant way.
4: DESANTIS TRUMP AGE – “FATHER TIME IS UNDEFEATED”
(HAS LOTS OF YELLING)
a. (In 0:00) – (Shows Christie and DeSantis
yelling) “Someone that is almost 80 years old it does not mean that someone can
get elected. Ron! Ron!” //flash//” Father time is undefeated, and I do not know
how someone will score on a test, but I know this we have an opportunity to
nominate and elect someone for two terms.”
My read - DeSantis here and
throughout the debates is giving an overly extended raised forehead, eyes wide
look that is the poster face for deception. In my deception detection speeches,
I give the example of a little 2-year-old covered in cookie crumbs saying with
that face, “I didn’t still the cookies I didn’t do it!”

How to Improve Your Ability to Read People. How to Know if Someone is Safe Or Dangerous, Using Your Central Nervous System to Read Peopleorth Technique,
How can you improve your intuition?
Your central nervous
system is your human lie detector, your early warning system for potential
stress and danger. When you feel safe, when something feels right and true, and
when you are with a good honest person with integrity your central nervous system
is calm. It alerts if there is danger.
For example, your limbic system can read thousands of nonverbal cues in a
fraction of a second in fact when you meet someone.
- Receive the
visual image of a person's face in a hundredth of a second.
- Analyzes
details in a quarter of a second.
- Synthesize all
the information into a single whole.
- Recognizes this
face out of thousands, memory details second.
- Interprets
expression on the face…
- Forms feelings
toward the person
- Decides what to
do with the person.
- Adjust the body
to deal with them.
How can you tell if someone is honest, deceitful, or dangerous?
When you are in the presence of an honest person who has integrity your
body calms and unfolds, breathing deepens moving from high in the chest to the
belly.
When you are in danger your Limbic system will respond with the Freeze,
Flight, Fight, Fall/Faint, or Friend Response. Think of a squirrel in
the road in response to your car coming at them. When we are stressed,
doing something wrong or dangerous, or when we are in the presence of someone
who is out of integrity, lying, or doing something dangerous our limbic system
immediately gets the body ready. A first early warning perhaps hairs may rise
on your arms and legs, and your body will tense and tighten, your blood
pressure will rise, your heartbeat will increase, your cortisol levels may
rise, your breathing rate may increase, you may perspire and you may flush to
the surface of the skin or leave you pale as you freeze in place and or rushes
to your extremities so you can flight and flee... As your blood pressure
increasing the blood mu our blood pressure may rise your run-and-fight
breathing may increase, at any point, your mouth could go dry, you could have
trouble swallowing or yawning, you may perspire heave, start to heave, and or
fight-breathing may increase, your heart rate may increase anymore, you may
perspire, go dry mouth, have trouble swallowing, blink and you may feel nauseous,
YOUR GUT FEELS BAD. You may Freeze in place holding your body tense and tight,
Flight -you may pull back down or away, point or bounce your feet towards an
exit, Fight -tense up and form your hands into fists, feel faint, and or Friend
you may smile, tilt your head and lower and sweeten your voice to sound
unusually passive, even childlike or seductive or charming its accommodating
passivity.
You may give off Comfort Cues when you are with someone bad or in a dire
situation. For example, you may hug yourself, hold your hand touch your
face, adjust your clothing, hold on to the chair arms, or clutch an object
because. Touch stimulates the nerve endings in the
skin so it sends signals to the brain
to release calming endorphins. When we are stressed, the brain
wants to restore itself to “normal” condition. The brain will enlist the body
to provide comforting touch behaviors. In other words, the brain requires the
body to do something that will stimulate nerve endings to release calming
endorphins in the brain so that the brain can be soothed.
AGAIN, THIS IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO HOW YOU FEEL IN THE PRESENCE OF A
True North person. In the presence of a True North good person or a good
situation, your body warms and relaxes, you feel safe, comfortable,
calm, and sometimes both calm and energized in their presence. With free open
relaxed body movements and gestures, you may even notice that your breathing
changes, moving from high on your chest to your belly, is easy full, and deep
with regular interval flowing breaths, and your voice changes, becoming warmer,
fuller, and richer. You feel you can be fully yourself, say and do anything.
Below is a very short video of me
talking about this and the technique to know if you are with a good person you
can trust.
http://youtu.be/QQw4PCi18i0
You feel good after you are with them. You can get a highly charged
feeling of euphoria when you meet the Right Person, which means you still feel
good after you are with them. Your body has not had to go overdrive, so you
feel good. When you are with an emotionally toxic person, your central nervous
system goes on in overdrive to protect you. It may push tons of adrenaline and
cortisol into your system while you are with them, giving you a high, but that
is your body in danger mode of Freeze, Flight Fight, Fall, or Friend response. It
is quite different from the pleasant limerence high of love, and one of those
differences can be monitored by how you feel AFTER you are with them and how
you feel when you are about to see them. Do you think overstimulated with
racing thoughts and worries about what you said and did or what they might say
or do, or are you pleasantly excited?
2) How can someone tell if a gut feeling is based on emotion versus
intuition? Why is this an important distinction? There is a difference between
stereotypes and intuition. Stereotypes are based on past experiences and
prejudice and are formed in the neocortex where word language is formed and is extremely
low in accuracy, and you can feel highly emotional about your stereotypes or
preconceptions. Intuition or your gut response should take place in the limbic
system where emotions and body language are processed and is based on thousands
of cues you're able to detect and process so quickly that you may not be able
to have words to describe how you know
3) How can believing you are lucky increase your chances of being lucky? How
does curiosity relate here and increase your chances for positive
opportunities? Pay conscious attention to what your body is saying to you. When
you are with new people, are in new situations, or making a decision do a
“Check In” scan of your body. What is your body language? Are you relaxed or
tense? Is your body open or closed? Write it all down. Record your gut
instincts. Then see if you were right. The more you notice, the more you can
improve. Research says that Judges are some of the best judges of deception
detection because they meet new people and have new situations, they have a gut
feeling they typically have notes on that feeling and then they see if they are
right and keep improving.
How Greeting Behavior Effects Relationships. Why Greeting Your Partner, Spouse, Family at the Door is Important. Greeting Loved Ones and the Primacy Effect.
When I Get Home You Run To Me
Every evening when my father came through the door from work, he would give a high two-note whistle to signal he was home and my mother, my sisters and I would run to him. It did not matter what we were doing. My mother’s cake batter could be stirred later, my sister’s music or homework could be tended to later and my Barbie could wait to go out in the convertible with Ken. Daddy was our priority, we loved him, and we would run to him, sharing hugs and kisses. He would grab me in his arms and throw me in the air. We would all share love and laughter. This is what love looked like to me and I thought everyone shared it.
Years later I learned how special and valuable that ritual is. I was about four years into a relationship with my love, my fiancé Bud. And every day no matter what I was doing, on a deadline for a proposal, deep into writing a speech, or on the phone with an important client in my upstairs office, when I heard Bud come home, I would stop whatever I was doing and run to him, leap to his arms and kiss him. It was wonderful.
One day Bud came home and ran to him and while I was in his arms, my head resting on his chest, he started crying, I led him to the sofa and asked him what was wrong. Bud had been married and divorced two times when I met him, and he had a life-limiting health issue. He had been through a lot. He said, "Patti, you know I was married twice before I met you and you know my family, my parents were never affectionate. And some days at work it is so hard, and I must go out to my car in the parking lot and do my breathing exercises and it can get so bad. But I just hold on, because I know with absolute certainty that when I come home you will run to me. I have never been loved like this before, I didn’t even know what it looked like, but now I have it and love you so much for always running to me."
I share with my audience around the country the importance of greeting your loved ones in my Body Language and First Impressions speech, but I do not share this story in every speech, because when I do share it, I start to tear up. He should have had that kind of love his whole life. I wrote a song about it that is at the bottom of the article. Also when I share it I get phone calls and emails from audience members sharing how profoundly changing their greeting behavior impacted their relationships.
Here is the science behind it that shows how important it is in all our relationships.
In Persuasion Theory, the Primacy
Effect profoundly affects our viewpoint. The Primacy effect says people
remember the first thing you say or do. In my book, "SNAP Making the Most
of First Impressions Body Language and Charisma" I share insights into how
first impressions impact our relationships. The first thing you say or do when
you come through the door or when someone you love comes through the door is
what they will most easily remember about you for the rest of the evening, or
longer. Your first behavior also creates an “Anchoring Bias." That is that
we rely heavily, sometimes too heavily, on the first behavior, that first piece
of information we get about someone. Greeting loved ones at the door is a
first-behavior opportunity. It is the first set of behaviors we have about how
the person or people in the house feel about us.
I highly recommend that no matter
where you are in the house, drop whatever you are doing, and greet your sweetie
and other family members with a kiss or a hug hello. Go to them
immediately, even if you are on the phone, working, cooking, online, watching
TV, whatever. It communicates that they are the most important thing to you.
In business, the Primacy Effect and Anchoring Bias affect
how customers see your business and how employees feel about their fellow team
members, managers, and executives. For example, if you come into the workplace or
a meeting while on your phone and do not greet people in the room you are
communicating to them that they are not important.
Here is a related article for you about your business greeting impression. https://www.pattiwood.net/article.asp?PageID=13306
In
addition to being an author and keynote speaker, I am a songwriter. Here is the
song I wrote about the feeling someone gets from having you run to them written
from my Fiancé’s Perspective.
You Run to Me
by Patti Wood
Mornings, I kiss you, grab my coffee and I drive.
I turn
on the radio, the traffic hell on 285.
At work
I’m invisible, no one even knows what I do.
Break my
back, gets no thanks, but I grind through.
Life is
hard, takes me low,
but one
thing is guaranteed,
I can
get through bad days ‘cause I know.
When I
get home, you run to me.
When I
get home, you run to me.
Today
everybody’s tense. They let 2 guys go.
Have to
stay late. I’m tired, but I don’t let it show.
I hold
on to thought of you in my arms all day.
Roll up
my sleeves, buckle down, earn my pay.
Life is
hard, takes me low,
but one
thing’s guaranteed.
I can
get through bad days ‘cause I know.
When I
get home, you run to me.
When I
get home, you run to me.
Bridge
I’ve
never told you this before.
How you
make me feel when I open the door
That
there’s one thing I am certain of
I can
always count on your love.
Life is
hard, takes me low,
but one
thing’s guaranteed.
I can
get through the bad days ‘cause I know.
When I
get home, you run to me.
When I
get home, you run to me.
When I
get home, you run to me.
