From deep in the Le Chateau crypt (2007), a post about common beta male body language mistakes:

Closed body language

Guys who are confident that nothing in life can touch them have very open and smooth body language.  Nervous guys who are always afraid of fights, of being sucker punched, of conflict, will defensively scrunch up their body as if they were psychologically warding off blows.  Guys who fear nothing open their arms, expose their chests, and generally project the look of someone who never worries about being caught off-guard.  In that vein, avoid shoving your hands in your pockets, crossing your arms, standing with a narrow stance, looking around the room with darting eyes, slouching, or grabbing one forearm with your hand.

Recently (2016), from an NPR broadcast,

To Catch Someone On Tinder, Stretch Your Arms Wide

[…]

In these experiments, the researchers compared young adults’ closed, slouched postures against open, or expanded, ones.

“An expansive, open posture involves widespread limbs, a stretched torso and general enlargement of occupied space,” says Tanya Vacharkulksemsuk, a social psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley and lead author on the study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

For the 144 speed daters, Vacharkulksemsuk says, “expansiveness nearly doubles chances of getting a yes [to see each other again.]” […]

Separately, she and her colleagues had three men and three women create two dating profiles each on a popular dating app. (All six participants were white and heterosexual). Their profiles were identical in every way except the pictures in one profile were all expanded postures, while its twin had all contracted poses.

The participants swiped yes on every potential suitor — 3,000 in total — for 48 hours. “Profiles that feature expansive photos were 27 percent more likely to get a yes,” Vacharkulksemsuk says. Expanding made both men and women more desirable during speed dating and in the dating app. The effect was more pronounced for men, however.

Bolded to twist the shiv in feminists’ spotted hides. Sorry, feminists, dominance displays benefit men more than women! (You can tell how badly this shiv hits the shitlib bone by the alacrity with which the NPR writer avoided deeper examination of this equalist narrative-busting caveat.)

These postures convey power and openness, says Vacharkulksemsuk. “The information packing in that nonverbal behavior is social dominance, and where that person stands in a hierarchy,” she says. And, presumably, the person high in the pecking order is sexy. Alphas are scarce and in demand.

The reader who forwarded the NPR link asks, “Do you ever get tired of being right?”

No.

    Absolutely. My default standing pose is feet shoulder length apart with hands behind back. (When this pose is used you should clasp one hand with the other; don’t grab your wrist or arm with the other hand; that’s actually a defensive posture.) In addition to projecting confidence, this pose has the added benefit of keeping your hands and arms out of the way and preventing hoverhands.

    When sitting I often like to lean back in my chair and put my hands on top of or behind my head, with feet splayed out. That’s another good pose.

        well Scott Walker is the gov and endorsed Cruz and Paul Ryan is the congressional rep…

        None of that suggests in a state of a mere 5 million people, and two solid weeks of TRUMP bashing to dwell upon since his last triumph that he was going to win.

        He knew it. He wasn’t even there tonight.

        Now his floor of 30% is very high. So that’s still a plus. If he goes over 50% in NY he will take all the 95 delegates… mooting WI.

        Cruz is fucked he will never win the nomination via the primary, he can’t get to 1237 and he will NOT win a contested convention because the GOP faithful HATE him.

        Kasich’s behavior at this point is straight up treason. RU-BO still has more delegates than Gaycuck has…

        I read it differently. Sure their hands are clasped but options are limited on a couch with no back (cf a sofa with a back would probably see both men stretch their arms out wide and rest their hands on it. This is a favourite of mine because it makes you as wide as possible.)

        Also check the legs. Wide open with crotch exposed (Cruise more so than Butler). Bold. Contrast with Norton – he’s made his legs so narrow they’re literally crossing over each other. It’s defensive, beta, effeminate body language.
