Women and Nonverbal Communication

As we said in another article, women are in a situation of greater risk than men in a flirting scenario, so they would find the greatest benefit in the use of nonverbal language. With body language, a woman is able to:

1- Reduce the risk to be rejected by the person from which she is attracted, thing that could happen if she tried a direct approach.

2- Test the availability of many men contemporarily sending to everyone of them nonverbal signals that only the interested subjects are able to understand and choosing the one she finds more congenial among those who have "answered" positively.

This allows her to have many subjects to choose from without the need to physically approach every single person to communicate him her interest. She just needs to send some signals. This way she doesn’t run the risk to be considered as “too available” by the other possible contenders that, watching her approach a man after another, would loose their interest in her.

Women are biologically and psychologically benefited from the point of view of nonverbal communication if compared to men. They have great familiarity with body language. One of the situations in which is clear their advantage in this kind of communication is the search for a partner.

As we already explained, women have been forced to develop and to refine a way to convey their messages sophisticated enough to reduce the risks to the minimum and that would allow them to make the best possible choice of the partner with which to start a relationship and eventually to have children.
