Useful book in Romance and ANY Relationships

The focus of this excellent book is to learn the signals of body language during courtship and dating. Although written by a man for a man, woman can also learn a couple of lessons if they read it (although, since woman are intuitively familiar with body language, most of them will just be agreeing with what is written). The author knows what he talks about. He tells you the signals to look for which specify interest and also the ones that nonverbally say "stay away". It sure makes it easier to approach a woman knowing if she has an interest in you or not. This book tells you what you need to know. I especially like the frank, honest discussion the author provides. He tells you that a guy needs a lot more than one body language signal, but rather clusters of them. A guy must really be aware of a woman's nonverbal language and sense the multiple signels she gives before approaching her. I'd give this book a huge TWO THUMBS UP along with another book by the author, How To Date Young Woman. Turns out the author helps guys on a free www radio show ... - you can listen beforehand and get a feel for how refreshingly honest this mentor is. ... THE INFORMATION IN THIS BOOK IS PRICELESS AND THE SKILLS YOU WILL LEARN ARE WORTH EVEN MORE!

No more chasing women who aren't interested

I've found this book enormously helpful. I can see people lying,and I can see which women are interested in me and which ones aren't. I remember watching two people on a date once. Just looking over occasionally, I saw some of the things Steele mentions. The most memorable sign of disinterest and disbelief was that the young woman kept touching her nose when the guy was talking. But you have to look for more than one signal and consider the context. She also kept her arms up in front of her as a barrier. When she went to the restroom, she took her glasses off. When she returned to him, she put them back on. She didn't need the glasses to see -- they were a barrier. Her feet and body were pointed towards the door. She didn't smile very much and she was hunched over, frequently holding her head in her hands. What do you want bet that he didn't get another date? Steele has a radio show where he discusses body language, dating and sex, as well as office politics....

Best book I've read on body language

Why is it that most people trash body language books, yet fail to realize there are many truths? My impression is that we don't want to admit that tens of thousands of years of biology are still controlling part of our reactions so we try to distance ourselves from the body language spectacle.Anyway, here's some points you will pick up from this book:(1) Learn to read the body langauge of a woman before approaching her. Don't go where you aren't appreciated, in other words; (2) Several subtle, and not so subtle, clues as to whether she's interested in you . .. from eyes to feet to preening; (3) understanding anthropology; why men and women pick certain traits; (4) signs that she isn't interested; (5) looking for clusters; (6) becoming more aware; and (7) how to make yourself more attractive through body language.

The Language of love revealed through Body Language Secrets

Don Steele has written a very concise and readable manual of non-verbal communications, particularly of interest for singles. Many of us "older-but-wiser" types wish we could have read something similar 20 years ago, when the "non-verbal signals of interest" were flying our way, and we sadly missed, ignored, or simply misunderstood what was being said "without words." While unhappily we can't go back and relive our misspent youth, the author gives enough useful information for deciphering the signals of female interest (open posture, sidelong glance, preening, palm showing) that even the densest aspiring Don Juan should be able to figure out whether he is gaining or losing as he seeks to attract a woman's attentions. Similarly, there are chapters for women to gage a man's sincerity (via handshake, noticing exaggerated non-verbal gestures of sincerity or verbal reassurances of honesty).Other aspects of the book concentrate on the evolutionary biology of courtship, and many of the "body language" tips are useful in any type of negotiation, whether in romance or business. The book is well illustrated with photos, is easy to read, and reasonably priced.

Possibly the only layman's guide to hidden social dynamics.

This is the kind of book that we all wish we had read and understood at one time or another. But, until this book came along, no book on the complex interchange of gestures and body postures and eye movements in social male/female encounters existed. The lucky few men who innately understand this stuff got all the best dates in school and beyond. This book is for the rest of us. You spot an attractive woman in a bookstore and your eyes meet for a moment and then she lowers her eyes and looks at the floor. What does it mean? It's in the book. Or you are talking with someone of the opposite sex but they are crossing their arms and constantly touching their face. It's in the book. Which of the above scenarios is favorable to the outcome of the enounter, and why?? It's in the book. The author encapsulates years of experience in interpreting social interactions. This is no quickie seduction nonsense book. Again and again the reader will consider Steele's take on the numerous social encounters considered and flashes of insight will occur as the reader recalls similar situations from his or her past experience. The ultimate conclusion I got from this book is that the art of dealing with people in social situations is a skill to be learned, like swimming. It can be done well or poorly but this is the only book I've seen that provides some cues and some scripts for the unspoken language that passes daily between people who seek contact with others.
