#6. Is She Interested In You? Look at Her Feet.

Remember back in high school when you were talking to that cute girl you really liked, but you couldn’t tell if she liked you back, and your fear of rejection prevented you from expressing your feelings in any way apart from night after night of tearful masturbation? Remember when you did the same thing last week? Wouldn’t asking someone out be so much easier if you knew how they’d answer before you asked them?

How? Tell Me!

Experts will tell you it’s all in the body language, but you know better. People — and especially women — are really, really good at feigning disinterest. Anything short of the woman outright grabbing your junk will be lost on most guys.

But watch her feet.

Apparently, people aren’t as conscious of their foot movements as they are of other parts of their body, and so their feet can unconsciously send messages about themselves. They did a study at the University of Manchester on this, studying subjects’ foot movements in various social situations.

Specifically, they found if a woman moves her feet apart to adopt a more open-legged stance, it generally means that she’s into you. However, if she finds you utterly repulsive, she will likely cross her legs or keep them tucked underneath her body. We’ll, uh, let you figure out the symbolic meaning of those gestures.
