How To Display Masculine Body Language

64 Comments

In this past article, I discussed how to present a strong and masculine face. Which is to say, I taught you how to manipulate your head’s body language for the purposes of making yourself appear strong, masculine, and confident.

While the head (and particularly the eyes) are the most “readable” part of your body, there’s obviously a whole lot more body to deal with, and that’s what this article will deal with.

The first issue that we will be dealing with with regards to the body is, of course, posture!

Posture

Posture shows and affects the attitude that you convey. Remember that body language is the sum of the parts of all the body. Think of it like this: the face shows the mood, and the body shows the intensity of the mood. Confidence starts at the face and spreads through the body

As with the face and head, you want to be tight, upright, and symmetrical. However, masculine and dominant body language with regards to the torso and limbs adds a new dimension, that of taking up space.

To put it very simply (and thus make it easy to understand and perform in your daily life), high status and confidence are reflected in an open and wide posture. And conversely, low status makes people shrink up, showing posture that is closed and prospective.

As you can see in the pictures below, posture that utilizes hunched shoulders, a drooping head, and inward chest shows weakness and a lack of commitment.

As the picture states, these pictures show the man to be nervous and unconfident

Even without seeing their heads, you can tell that these people are standing tall and proud

Throwing Your Weight Around

In the literal, not the metaphorical, sense.

Placing the weight evenly between the legs, while standing firm and upright, shows strength, confidence, and all of the masculine traits that you want to convey.

Hold your head high, chest open, and stomach in and tight. The feet and legs have to work in harmony with the torso, arms, and heads to convey a certain image. If you want to be seen as powerful, you must stand firm with your legs shoulder width apart and your chest puffed out.

Yours truly. Note the high chest and shoulder width legs

And don’t think that these rules only apply when you’re standing. When sitting down, the strong and confident man has his legs retain their shoulder length position, and the body is slightly leaned back and the arms are relaxed and neutral: not open, not closed.

While I hate to use the cliched animal metaphors that you so often see on hacky men’s websites (“be like a wolf, brah!”), it is fitting here: Imagine a lion, does he lean forward and make himself scarce? No, he reclines and stretches out, taking up space and showing who’s dominant.

Room To Breathe

A good rule of thumb to remember for strong body posture (i.e., the one thing you must remember) is to present your testicles—and yes, I’m being serious. Another way to put this rule of thumb is to ask, “Are my testicles breathing?”  If you feel that your bits are being squashed together and are uncomfortable, you’re not taking up enough space.

Like this, except I’d advise you to not do this naked or with that particular facial expression

So beyond that rule that most men know instinctively, what else can be done with the body?

Arms

Seeing as the “ball rule” deals with the legs, and posture deals with the torso, the arms are all that is left. Luckily, this is probably the simplest to deal with: having them open too wide makes you look open, and welcoming, where as having narrow shoulders and arms clenched before your groin makes you look weak.

The key is arm neutrality, or occasionally arm crossing should you want to convey authority. Also bear in mind that palms facing downward shows authority (“the buck stops here” sort of thing), so if you want to gesticulate to make a point, your palms face downward. Bear in mind that crossing the arms will by definition put the palms downward.

All of the information above deals with the entire body for the most part, and can be instantaneously utilized to present superior body language.

There are many other moods and mindsets that can be expressed through body language, but a cool, masculine dominance is the gold standard of body language, so why would you bother learning anything else? Your body will naturally form any other emotions needed, so just try to maintain dominant body language as much as possible, and you’ll notice your life will markedly improve.

      2. Kidding aside – there is a noticeable difference in Vader’s body language between the original movies and the newer ones. The original vader-suit-wearer (David Prowse) was a body builder who moved about like he was made entirely of balls. He took up space. People got out of his way. The latest incarnations…..
        swishy walking, dipped shoulders….

        2. Empire Strikes Back was the high point, I believe. The scene in cloud city was tops…the ominous figure at the top of the stairs; the one handed cat with a mouse duel with Luke.

  2. They way you carry yourself is very important. I never really understood just how important until a few years ago I watched a documentary about Guantanamo Bay prison.
    The camera crew just kind of followed the guards around while doing the rounds. The inmates were acting a fool, probably worse than usual because of the tv crew. The more that the inmates yelled at them, the worse their (guards) posture got. Walking around with their hands in their pockets or clasped behind or in front or arms crossed. They gave off an air of being uncomfortable/scared and the inmates fed off it.

    1. It’s no wonder the most powerful guards are known as hardasses who view the inmates as scum. Without that frame of mind, it must be very difficult to maintain the outward frame of authority.

      1. Its all a mind thing. Stand up straight, speak with authority, never put your hands in your pockets(that’s also a security measure).

        1. I remember when I first got to Pennsylvania, the locals had an interesting way of asking a question that started in a low tone, went up to a high tone, and then back down again to a middle/low tone. It sounds more like a statement than a question. I don’t know if it’s a PA German thing or something else, but I immediately incorporated it.

        2. I’m trying to think about how that would sound. I’m coming up with something like John Wayne or Sam Elliot – their questions sound more or less like statements.

        3. It’s hard to explain. If you think of the way someone would normally ask, “are you going on a picnic on Tuesday?” the tone would be rising and reach the highest point at the end.
          In this this way of asking a question the high point would be reached around ‘picnic’ and then flatten out or even come down some; the last syllable is emphasized. It’s really evident when girls do it. I actually think it sounds kind of sexy, esp if said girl shoots and/or owns a truck.

        4. I’d pay cash money on the barrel head to have a voice like Sam Elliot’s.

  3. The feet and legs are actually the most important parts of your body in terms of telegraphing cues and emotional states. While you train yourself to lie with your face since childhood, few people can lie with their feet. So keeping your feet and legs taking up space is the truest way to telegraph a strong presence (which is instinctively why feminists shrieked about manspreading a few years ago). Likewise if you want to read a person’s real feelings about you, look at the feet and legs first.
    I learned this years ago from an FBI agent that specialized in nonverbal behavior during interrogations. Many of you probably know him, Joe Navarro. He has a book you can take a look at that goes into great detail about the most and least honest parts of your body (which I listed in going over it): http://masculineepic.com/index.php/2015/12/12/read-em-and-reap-review/

    1. I read one of Navarro’s books. Great stuff about the feet and legs. As a lifelong soccer player I’m quite aware of this.

  6. When it comes to standing with your arms by your side, I notice a lot of people fiddle with their fingers and move their arms too much. Like they don’t know what to do with them and it makes them look insecure.
    One tip I picked up from public speaking classes is to roll your fingertips of your thumb and index finger together. It gives you something to focus on and stops the twiddling.

  7. Does anyone – aside from me – find the pics in the ads on this site quite revolting?

    2. Sad. Just sad. Neutered by a tribe of females. He had no chance and had to TransJenner. All I can think about is his Olympic wins…….and then this. Sad.

      1. You are right, sir, the guy was a true olympic legend. He is clearly fucked in the head now, but that’s what happens when you go Kardashian.

      1. Exactly. The properties of a masculine body posture serve masculine purpose. Masculinity evolved out of the violence of nature. Violence is a true gold standard. It is actually better than a gold standard because it’s value is universally understood and transcends culture. (Jack Donovan). Posture is the functional preparedness to defend against and exact violence while remaining repectfully aware of it’s consequences.

  10. Am guilty of both the lean and at times the slump, but thought that the lean wasn’t too bad. There’s gotta be a way to do it that looks okay..

  11. Try to avoid using the evil Illuminati all seeing eye symbol. Everyone using it is a despicable traitor.

    Of late, the old pyramid symbol has been coined the “MERKEL-RAUTE”. Be on the lookout for it.

    The bitch traitor Merkel uses the symbol all the time, literally

    BOOMHAUER never uses the symbol. He is affirmed as not being a traitor whatsoever and he also stands with proper posture
    http://img07.deviantart.net/06e3/i/2006/286/6/0/king_of_the_hill____boomhauer_by_aizxana.jpg
    We see Merkel using the symbol constantly as well as people around her like these two cunt licking traitor bitchboys of Merkel’s ‘Christian Democratic Union’ party. They’re as fuckaduck cuck traitor as cuckianity gets.

      1. I guess it comes natural for dried up humans (lets assume it’s Michael and not Michelle) and all those above just suffer of not being immortal like humans (we call it having children, those with a open fontanel/third eye)

  12. This is one philosophy and I call it the bodybuilder’s philosophy. The other philosophy is the warrior’s philosophy. In this case you radiate masculinity and power by keeping your chin down, chest in, shoulders rotated forward ready to pounce like a predator.
    The trouble with the bodybuilder’s philosophy is in the words. “Chest puffed out”. “Puffery”. Like a peacock or a salesman. To a warrior, standing with your head high and chest puffed out makes you look like an easy target. To anyone else it makes you look like an arrogant braggart. In any case, it is unnatural and uncomfortable to stand that way. You should look relaxed and powerful. A man with confidence always looks this way.

    2. Arnold called it “respect of size”. Dominating ones area without trying too hard

  13. this suggestions may work on a general basis, however, is not a deal breaker, why?
    because is all about LMS (look money and status) and this cover only one step, i.e. the guy in the first picture got looks, money and status for sure, not average joe’s who has a regular job
    Masculine power, today, doesn’t care so much about body language, you may see this all the times, when muthafukka and drug dealers get chicks’n’ sluts on a regular basis.
    Hence, this article, imo, focus only to have a better look, however, if you don’t it the Gym, you are only hillarious guy who try to be masculine, such as a land whale who try to be femminine wearing wrong dress! you got the picture?
    TODAY, if you want to show “masculine power” to get chicks, i will show you the truth? are you ready?
    http://www.wealthwayonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/17121923990_ba6b3b8fe6_b.jpg
    that’s all! and believe me, even if you are in your sixty, bald and a little fat, with this “masculine power” you will get more pussy and respect than ever!
    p.s.: the bodyguard in the last picture always welcome a wealthy/well known/actor/you name it, man!

  14. This really should be the first thing that game novices learn- posture and confident body language. I will add to what you wrote and say to take up space asymmetrically, have one leg stuck out

  15. It would be prudent to remind readers that all of the tips here instruct how to APPEAR masculine. Someone who has superior posture and gestures which have evolved naturally through their masculine experiences, will collapse your deceptive facade with a few words or even a look… The more appropriate way to gain masculine appearance is to go out in the world intent on being the most repectful, most responsible, and toughest SOB you can. You be the man. Find a burden worth bearing and carry it. The world will carve the superior posture.

    2. Mental frame is everything. When you’re intent on achieving goals, your body will reflect that surety. You won’t have to “try”.

  16. Been training this for couple of months. Especially opening up legs, like dominant monkeys do too. It becomes more and more of a habit and I notice now when taking wrong postures.

  19. My display of masculinity isn’t so subtle. I just whip out my almost foot long cock in public. It lets everybody know who the man in the room is.
