Nonverbal Language and Attraction

Among the various messages that we can more or less unconsciously transmit through nonverbal language to the individuals around us, attraction messages are perhaps the most interesting ones.

When we are attracted by someone, we tend to assume postures and to make gestures that project our feelings to the outside world. These messages can inform a person who knows how to interpret them about our state of mind in that moment.

We can reproduce consciously every nonverbal language signal that our body, independently from our will, is able to “send”.
We are able, for example, to “produce” a smile, to make other people believe we are happy, even in a situation in which we really are not.

However, from the type of produced expression, it is possible to understand, with due training and knowing which parameters to read, if it is a “forced expression” or if it is really correlated to the feeling that produced it, i.e. if the person that smiles is really happy.

Since is therefore possible to reproduce at will a gesture or an expression to knowingly communicate feelings and emotions, it would seem convenient to use them, instead of oral communication, to transmit “sensitive” messages, information that we want to deliver to the recipient and that, at the same time, we don’t want to be intercepted by others or, if intercepted, that cannot be easily deciphered. Basically a sort of encrypted language.

To be able to use an encrypted language, however, it’s necessary that all the parties involved in the exchange of the messages know the encryption key used for disguising the sent information and to make it unrecognizable. It won't be otherwise possible to decrypt it and consequently, the content of the received information will remain unknown.
