The Ultimate Body Language Book

wrapping one around the other. The result makes the legs appear extremely toned. To produce a sexual
cluster that intensifies signals of interest, a woman can place one hand on her thigh, stroke it, and
engage in eye contact, and even bat her eyes at her object of affection.
Crossing and uncrossing the legs in the presence of men, especially if done slowly also shows interest,
as it exposes the inner thigh which is a very intimate part of the female body. Leaving the legs
uncrossed altogether, while sitting or standing, or massaging them so as to draw attention to them, can
ramp up a sexual invitation even further. Another leg crossing variation happens when the leg is tucked
under the body and sat on with the knee pointing toward her interest. This also leaves the inside of the
thigh exposed and is particularly alluring when wearing a skirt, especially a short one!
Legs are often crossed toward a person of interest although this isn’t a hard fast rule. For example, most
people have a leg cross preference, and so only find sitting one way or the other to be comfortable. The
theory behind leg crossing toward the person we are connecting with stems from the symbolism of the
leg as a barrier preventing outside people from entering. Orienting the body and shoulders toward
someone has the same effect. However, leaning in with a leg cross to shrink the distance can deliver a
much stronger and more reliable message. It is the proximity that produces the real information, rather
than the actual leg cross direction. Having the legs spread while sitting or standing isn’t always a
positive cue of interest, though sometimes it is, but it always tell us something about the sender.
For the sake of being complete, at the risk of sounding obvious, open legs tells us that a woman is
either easy, trying to look that way, or doesn’t realize she’s be improper so is careless about her sitting
postures. In other words, legs wide open says she’s a bit sloppy, regardless of her true intention.
Woman should always hold good leg crossing postures especially in public and even when trying to
attract the attention of men. In most cases, appearing easy or sloppy is not to their benefit, at least to
most. With the recent lax in proper manners, I suspect appearing sloppy, or “casual” to use a more
political term, is the likely culprit, but legs open can still be tested for easiness by men keen on scoring
an easy women. While this all might sound crass, remember that these are the types of signals being
sent when women comport themselves in these ways, so it is up to them to change their body postures,
as changing the nature of subconscious perceptions is impossible. Those that aren’t reading material on
body language, which is a healthy majority, will merely go on instinct, and this instinct will have
“easy” written all over it.
