Telling fact
Pretend smiles are sustained for much longer than genuine, heartfelt smiles and are confined to the lower half of the face. Source: The Book of Tells by Peter Collett |

The rules of the game Once men and women are together they give out many physical tells to each other, encouraging or detering, according to how the encounter is going. Men tend to demonstrate their sexuality with displays of dominance: stretching their legs out into shared space, holding themselves at full height and using expansive gestures to create an impression of size. Women play up their differences to men, crossing their legs to appear smaller, keeping their arms close to their body, and drawing attention to the soft, feminine parts of their body (the neck, cleavage, inner wrists and thighs) by self-touching or movement. Each interested individual will unconsciously flatter the other by imitating their postures, leaning forward attentively, and nodding to demonstrate close attention. Women often laugh at jokes made by men they find attractive as it acknowledges their dominance. While touching might not yet be appropriate, both sexes can reveal their physical desires in the attention they pay to other objects. For example, a woman may sensually caress the rim of her wine glass, while a man may take hold of a woman's car keys and play with them throughout the conversation.
