Due to Popular Demand:
From a guy, to everyone out there. I know you're curious!
BODY LANGUAGE:
1. Standing Pose: See where my feet point. Watch the pelvis. It points towards the object of my attention. If I'm talking to you and that pelvis is pointing elsewhere, I want to move on. 2. Listening Pose: If I tilt my head, expose a little neck, I must be interested. (Think Vampire Victim)
3. Talking Poses:
If my head is slightly turned upwards and to the side, and I'm showing you under the cheekbone for the whole conversation, I don't want to talk.
4. Facial Expression:
Eyebrows quickly raise up and down when someone walks into room: More often than not, I'm attracted a bit, or interested.
Smile or not? Smile with only half my mouth, corner curling up... That's most likely a sneer.
Watch the eyes-- they should match the smile.
5. Sitting Pose:
If in conversation, it's a good sign when both parties are leaning forward, toward each other. This is the universal signal of interest in conversation!
Mindful Talk:
Hey! We don't think as far ahead as you girls do, but we're seriously not that dull.

Our mind is direct. We plan how to get from A to B, that's why we're good with instruction manuals. Oh, and we're generally more capable, spatially. That's why we're usually better at sports : P
DRAMA freaks everyone out. No one, except the most catty of them, wants a piece of it. No one. So don't drag us into that stuff.
When we start nodding a lot and saying something like "mm-hmmm" and nothing else, we are in dummy mode. In one ear, out the other ear. But hey! Girls do it too! >:O
It's a little weird when someone tries way too hard to be one of the guys. Or way too hard to be hot. Or way too much in one direction in general.
We sometimes forget to smell ourselves. Too bad if you don't like our cologne/aftershave ;P But if the lady is too fruity, her perfume too smelly, where am I supposed to run? D:
We also...gossip. We talk about our mates too, but not nearly as much as the females do. And we do daydream about the ones we wish we can be with.
If we don't call back right after a date, maybe we really are tired?!?
Why can't guys wear skirts? Why do girls get all the fun?
Heels look painful.
We can be quite playful, when we're not trying to be so manly! :P
We have a sensitive side, just like the females. Try not to beat us up.
Peace out!
