Happiness. Facial movements: Muscle around the eyes tightened, “crows feet” wrinkles around the eyes, cheeks raised, lip corners raised diagonally. Despite the friendly connotation, researchers believe our smiles might have a more sinister origin.
Lips: Hints of a smile at the corners signal happiness rather than anger. Hand: Right hand is open and arm is dangling loosely, indicating that he's not feeling aggressive.
The mouth makes some of the most important body language signs. Examples include: Smiling to show happiness, approval, sarcasm, or cynicism. Biting the lower lip to indicate insecurity or worry.
Happiness and the Authentic Smile
A sign of happiness is when the sides of the lips rise symmetrically (as in the first picture on the left). In an authentic smile the eyelids drop, and the eyebrows lower accompanied by a symmetrical smile (see the picture on the right).
Nodding or tilting the head to the side
Nodding and tilting the head during conversations are positive and respectful gestures that indicate approachability and openness.
“If you are happy and relaxed, your skin will be happy too, with optimal blood flow (not pale or too flushed), and no excess sweat that you can sometimes get if you are stressed or anxious.” That's something Dr Anton Alexandroff, consultant dermatologist at BMI The Manor Hospital in Bedford agrees with.
The researchers, Nabanita Datta Gupta, Nancy Etcoff, and Mads Jaeger found subjective well-being, or happiness, was associated with more physical attractiveness.
One of the first signs that your ex is happier without you is that they don't stalk you on social media. They may even have deleted you from their friend's list or unfollowed your accounts. They might not be too keen on keeping up with what you're doing in your life after the break-up.
Some of the things psychologists look for are your posture, hands, eye contact, facial expressions, and the position of your arms and legs. Your posture says a lot about your comfort level.
According to the book's analysis of the data, men find women in their early 20s most attractive. Even as the men got older, their preference for 20-something women seemed to stay the same.
A positive attitude, a balanced extroversion and confidence have been revealed as the most attractive qualities, in both sexes. Psychologists say these three personality qualities not only make someone more attractive to the opposite sex but also prove they can get on with anyone.
Besides close relationships, there are two other things that predict happiness in people: having a job or hobby that they love and that challenges them and helping others through volunteer work, random acts of kindness or another type of prosocial behavior. All three of these things make sense.
Good news: That whole “glow” thing people associate with being in love is, on some level, actually true. According to Linder, those giddy butterflies and mushy feelings you experience while falling in love reflect a physiological process that can benefit your skin, unlike any sheet mask.
“Being happy doesn't just make us feel better, it improves our health. It helps us eat healthier, be more active and sleep better.” Because happiness leads to healthier behaviors, it helps stave off high blood pressure and excess body fat, resulting in lower risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease, she said.
These aren't merely the markers of youthful skin but the appearance of your skin on happiness. Not only that but your skin's ability to repair and renew itself is enhanced. Overall, you skin looks healthy, radiant, and younger. While negative emotions can contribute to skin damage, positive emotions help improve it.
The best way to describe arrogant body language is “dominating.” Examples include pointing a finger at someone's chest, hands on hips or waving someone off with a flick of the finger. Confidence is open and less intimidating.
Perhaps the most consistent body language channel of love, however, is touch. Couples in love engage in “tie signs”—holding hands, arms around the shoulders, or touching knees when seated. A subtle touch can create sexual arousal or simply provide reassurance, that “I'm here for you.”
Chapter 1: The Five C's of Body Language lays a frame- work for the book by giving an overview of factors—context, clusters, congruence, consistency, and culture—that need to be considered when decoding the messages in someone's body language.
People rubbing eyes are either tired, sleepy or are in disbelief of what you are saying to them. It also signals frustration and irritation.
According to science, men find women more attractive when they are smart, intelligent, caring, confident, humorous, kind, independent, and supportive. Although these qualities may generally apply, what one man may find the most attractive may differ from another.
Men prefer a woman who can stay calm and relaxed. Beauty is more than make-up and a fancy haircut. Men find women more attractive when they are neat and clean. Men find women who smell nice, who have clean hair and hydrated skin more attractive than a face perfectly covered in makeup.
