When men lie, their body language appears relaxed. Women, on the other hand, pretend to look busy when they lie.


In day to day living, men display facial gestures that are more relaxed and express less warmth, while women’s gestures are lighter and more flexible.

Men smile more frequently and the smile takes time to fade away. Women, too, smile frequently, but the smile lasts only for a while.

In case of a positive atmosphere of the conversation, women bend towards the speaker, while men bend their head towards the side.

If the situation is negative, a woman will not indulge in eye contact. Conversely, a man would look more steadily towards the interlocutor.

Both men and women look directly into the eyes of their interest while conversing. However, men may move their eyes indicating their nervousness, while women, many a times, shy off and bend their head.

Men show their interest in women by sitting close to them or touching their shoulder or arms softly, while talking. Conversely, women touch the arms or shoulders of men softly only if they like the physical closeness of the person.

Men rarely make compliments and joke more rather. Women, on the other hand, pass compliments and hardly joke.

Men prefer using strict and direct formulations and are less talkative than women. Their sounds are more loud and brisk, but monotonous, as compared to the sounds of women.

Women often use elegant phrases like “it would be extremely kind of you”, “it was incredible”, “we have spent an unforgettable evening” and so on. Contrarily, men can be seen using phrases, such as “always”, “never”, “nobody”, “everybody”, “all”, and so on.
