Body Language Cues of Dislike, Disrespect and Disgust
Body cues speak volumes, according
to Patti Wood, body language expert and author of Snap: Making the Most of
First Impressions, Body Language and Charisma.
Cues of dislike:
- No mirroring of voice
and body language. “When we like someone, we match and mirror there voice,
tone, tempo and speaking rate…” and body movements too, says Wood, of
snapfirstimpressions.com.
- Neutral facial
expression: No empathy or interest expressed in what you’re saying, “We
often express interest through raised eye brows and smiles. Or facial
expressions that appear to show the opposite emotional reaction to what
you are saying.”
- Eye rolling: A sign of
contempt and disrespect for others.
- Wrinkling of the nose:
Indicates that something doesn’t smell right and can be an indication of
disrespect.
- Puts up barriers, for example, touches cell phone or sips out of coffee cup. “It says symbolically this object is more important than you are, it is what I want to touch and interact with,” says Wood.
There are also gender specific cues
- For a male boss. He
stands facing you when giving you directions and sharing information:
Standing side to side rather than face to face signifies that a man trusts
you and is comfortable with you.
- For a female boss. She doesn’t face towards you when you are speaking. Women face you to show they respect you and want to hear you. If she doesn’t like you, she may aim her body away from you, closes her hands and arms over her heart.

No cure for Paris- attention grabbers
"Though I often looked for one, I finally had to admit that there could be no cure for Paris." Part of it was the way. The world had ended once already and could again at any moment." This is the first line of the book, "The Paris Wife." a novel written from the perspective of Hemingway's first wife. It was an interesting story, that gives you an insight into the life of a partner of sometimes abusive and often passionate and drunk husband. Reread the opening sentence, as it this first line is a great example of a attention grabber opening. I certainly agree with the lines sentiments as well. If you have spent time in a outdoor cafe in Paris after a fine meal or a good cup of coffee you return home aching to re experience the magic of Paris.
