"Do you guys pay attention to your nonverbal, body language or other peoples, when in social settings?"

Sometimes I do, but it's mostly with people I know and interact with. 

"Do you guys pay attention to your nonverbal, body language or other peoples, when in social settings?"

Constantly. I grew up with theater, dance, and martial arts, which all train people to watch body language and movement, and who I am alongside being in an environment with everyone else learning the same thing pretty much turned that sort of surveillance into a requirement. Growing up had become gradually more passive, and microexpression studies only pushed that further once I stumbled onto those.

Do you think that maybe he might have seen you as somebody worth impressing?

Maybe he was just trying to impress you and the girl? Not everybody bullshits bc they're up to no good. Some people are just nervous and want to be seen in a more favourable light. That might have been the human equivalent of lying down so you could pee on him to show your acceptance of him in your pack.

I pay attention to other people's nonverbal cues but I barely understand them, so I don't register.

Hence, my nonverbal cues are bound to be used in the wrong context or setting. I rely on hand gestures and words, metaphors and analogies. As straightforward as it gets.

Yes. I pay more attention to body language than I do to the things that people say. What can I say? I'm a jaded individual who operates every day from the assumption that over 90% of the people I come into contact with are lying scam artists at best and possibly murderers and rapists at worst. Blame my family, the media, my neighbourhood or w/e.

It is what it is.

Being a good visual listener helps me to get past a good deal of bullshit that at the very least would waste copious amounts of my precious time.

 I can tell by what you say and what you imply in your posts that you are like me in that aspect.

 Yea that probably had a lot to do with it. It just made me think about how his body language did not fit the persona he was describing. I never really put a lot of thought into my own personal body language when im around people. I'm like most of you i pay all of my attention to other peoples actions and reactions.

Are you fucking serious with this?

was i trippin, or was some of the font for some reason really tiny? the tiny shit i didn't read, and i struggled to get through the rest.

anyhoo, do i pay attention to other's body language, no. i'm entirely too absorbed in my excellence to notice anything that exists outside of me. only when being a creeper in a park searching for my next victim do i key in on the awkward big bird dumpy walk of some insecure broad who'd easily turn just to be told she has a great set of eyes, or whatever else happens to sound nice, which usually ins't much.
