Sexual signals help you find, meet, talk with and date Mister or Ms Right using secrets of nonverbal communication. Forty photographs clearly show what to watch out for. The essence of courtship and dating conversations is to communicate, with and without words, "This is who I am. I like myself. I hope you like me. Show and tell me about yourself so I can discover if I like you."

Women, learn how you can easily get noticed, then interest and attract the right type of man, a man you can trust. The way he stands or sits, touches or does not touch himself lets you know if he is telling the truth. The brutally honest chapter is titled Courtship Tactics For Women. Men, learn how you can tell from across the room if she's interested in you just by her posture and gestures. During conversation, find out if she's leading you on or if she's sincerely interested in you. The brutally honest chapter is titled Courtship Tactics For Men.

The Charisma of Body Language

August 30, 2010

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

R. Don Steele's, "Body Language Secrets: A Guide During Courtship and Dating" is a good introductory book for becoming better aware of the nonverbal language that goes on between men and women during potentially romantic settings. A key take away of the book is to look for "clusters" of behavior from the person you are attempting to engage. Is their body in an open and receptive position? Are they smiling? Exercising friendly touching? Pupils dilated?

Steele outlines why all these factors are important in assessing one's interest without verbalization. If over 50 % of communication is nonverbal, it behooves us to align our thoughts with effective nonverbal communication. To do otherwise, leads to extreme miscommunication and failed attempts at connecting. To be as attractive as possible, it is essential to manage one's physical and kinetic expressions.

I highly recommend this book on the road to self-mastery.

This book promises a lot,

January 4, 2000

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

It delivers a lot, too...but not all that it promises.
Mostmen will buy this book for the same reason I did, in the hope that itwill explain how to get girls to like you without risk of emotional injury. Steele ropes us in by telling us how easy it will be, how the fear of rejection is something we can kiss goodbye forever. Then he begins to steadily backpedal towards the truth: that whether one reads this book or not, the courtship game is learned primarily through trial and error. We may have to accept that no book will ever save us from the necessity of putting our egos on the line.
Steele's advice on interpreting body signals is pretty damn accurate. But the book lacks the concrete advice he initially promises regarding how to respond to such signals, how to safely assert yourself with women without being too aggressive, how to be charming without becoming overbearing. You can't blame him for not being able to provide such knowledge, since it's something for which each individual has to develop an aptitude. But you can blame Steele for promising to provide it in the first place.
Still, this book is a lot more entertaining than most dry body-language books. The information is dispensed in language that anyone on the common side of George Plimpton can understand and use. There's no less of that information than in other books. The photos, grainy as they are, will immediately strike chords with the reader. After reading this book, go out to a restaurant, bookstore or bar and look for signals given by the patrons to eachother. It's fascinating, and soon you'll be looking for signals everywhere you go.
Steele's far-from-PC approach to the subject is endearing to any bitter, frustrated soul unable to decipher the opposite sex. But in combination with the dreadful writing and editing in this book, Steele gradually sounds more like a high school football coach...the last person you'd go to for advice on reeling in the chicks. Some serious cleanup work is in order.
In summary, I'm confused by this book. The information dispensed seems to work for me, but I don't see how it worked for Steele. I'm missing something. This is a great book on how not to lose with women. It does not answer the unanswerable question of how to win with them.

Keep your salt shaker handy...

September 20, 2004

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

There are some good observations in this book, and good advice on learning to read other people's unconscious body language, as well as how to control and adjust your own. But take the pseudo-scientific claims with several grains of salt. What the heck does it mean to say that "people form 90% of their opinion of you in the first 90 seconds"? How would you measure a thing like that? How do they know it isn't 85% in the first 95 seconds? Should you CARE about the opinion of anyone who makes up their mind about you in less than 2 minutes? Also, the author often comes across as pompous and arrogant. The way to read this book is to consider it an intellectual exercise to get past the hooey and glean what's valid from it.

Some Good Advice, Some Cheesy Advice, But A Good Refresher On Non-verbal Communication

January 6, 2006

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The Pros:

- Good layout

Sections are appropriately titled and information in each section is relevant (for the most part). Headlines make specific points easy to find, and most ideas are then clearly explained under sub-headings.

- (On that note) Clear explanations of ideas. I would imagine that even a high schooler shouldn't have too much trouble understanding the ideas and the language used.

- A good quick reference for people who already have an understanding of non-verbal communication and gives a little more depth to some of the reasoning behind some actions.

- Pictures demonstrate many ideas (also a con - see below)

The Cons:

- Anyone with even a moderate understanding of non-verbal communication or anyone who has read a book on communication in relationships will find 99% of the information useless.

- When taken for just the parts covered in the appendix, the book is a great reference, however his actual content is awful. He goes on and on throughout the book about "Rapo" (Rape-O) women and "Cavalier" men, which has very little point.

- More time is spent explaining that some men are "dogs" and some women are "teases" than is spent on actual "body language secrets".

- A large part of the book does not even pretend to discuss body language. Chapters include,"Meeting Ms Or Mr Right", "Courtship Tactics For Women", and "On Not Being Too Nice". Interestingly enough, because of the lack of compelling content on the actual body language side, I personally found these areas the most useful.

- His analysis like the idea that a man is being insincere if his feet are not firmly planted when talking to you does not take into account problems like how a short or tall man might not be able to plant their feet because the size of a chair may be wrong (for example).

- The pictures are all of the author and his wife. Many pictures do not very clearly demonstrate the point the author is trying to make.

My Analysis:

Spend a little more money and get a good textbook on non-verbal communication.
