Real Men Real Style I found this kind of interesting, for me though I have a bad knee so normally I just sit whichever way doesn't hurt at the moment. it probably doesn't send the best message always moving my leg.
Real Men Real Style I sit at the military seated position of attention, sometimes I may put my arms on the armrests of a chair or something. How is this looked at and what signals am I giving off?
Men should sit however they want, but you won't find me sitting in the "leg-over-leg" position; it's just too uncomfortable. I mostly sit with knees spread and in the wrestling move, which sounded like pretty much what you do. I have noticed myself sitting with crossed ankles occassionally and your analysis as to why feels spot on, as it's usually been in situations with some anxiety or cautiousness. Thanks for the video. A few more body language videos wouldn't be nice (edit: of course I mean *would* be nice :). I've read on the topic before, but it's nice to be reminded of once in a while and you explain it in a clear, concise way. The whole concept of "controlling the message" is fantastic and your earlier videos where you've discussed this concept has also been great.
Real Men Real Style Love the body language vids! You should definietly continue making them because people forget the importance of body language and it is key when you are trying to send a message or make an impression.
I like the legs crossed up on the desk, reclined with my hands clasped behind my head position. It usually results in the interviewer telling me to get my feet off their desk and get out of his/her office. I think it shows dominance though...
*I hate RUclips!!!!! STOP DELETING COMMENTS LIKE ITS HATE SPEECH WHEN THEY'RE JUST JOKES!!!!!!!!!* All I wrote was trying to write was "Like taking a 'dump' (I used *S* with three poop emojis 💩💩💩) like some dirty ( and here I mentioned a certain nonape relative with a tail🐒)" *HOW IS THAT OFFENSIVE?????*
I actually think that the leg over leg position is a comfortable one, and in my personal experience I feel comfortable, secure, relaxed and open to listening and conversing. Also the spread knee is a position that establishes dominance, power, security. So, I would say those two are my go to sitting positions
It's seen as unnecessary self inflicted pain but if you're comfortable sitting like this just explain and they'll understand, if they don't then they are not friends
@@alessiom3859 I'm insensitive to some pain. Crossing my legs as a male doesn't bother me. I noticed certain areas of my body feel less pain, compared to others where it feels like Hell, like chest and back pain are terrible, but losing my toenail? That happened to me once and didn't feel much pain.
@@GnosticMindTrain well, if you have to travel you instantly sit normally, but if crossing legs feels more comfortable no one is going to say anything, unless, they're that type of people to criticize strangers even for how they sit
Leg over leg is the most gentleman-like in my opinion. It shows confidence, it is elegant - a since this is not a "natural" posture, I believe it is one of those things that shows you care about your position and your attitude. It also looks really good with a suit.
I find leg over leg very comfortable. I had a high level interview three days ago and went with the leg over leg position mid way though, I felt a lot more open and confident. I was offered the job.
I thought I was the only who always felt that way, when someone throw me some very difficult or personal question I tend to cross my legs or at the very least cross my arms
I actually started sitting leg over leg cross legged when I was 7 and just watched the Godfather. I wanted to emulate them and forced myself to get used to it. Many years later and I still think its the most classy way to sit and havent had problems communicating with anybody. But then again I smile a lot so maybe that balances out the apparent 'closed off' edness of sitting crossed leg haha
I used ankle-lock commonly in school, but that´s because I was sitting on a uncomfortable plywood chair every day and most of the class listening to teachers. I better bring pillow to sit on and do some squats on workout days, if that helps. Great video by the way. I think it´s good to be consciuos about sitting positions and try them whether it be serious or relaxed environment. Try different positions and have fun doing so.
The highest status people in Europe sit leg over leg position. When I see a sharp old man sitting leg over leg I know he is high status, dominant and that he is the boss of his group.
I personally prefer the leg-over-leg position, especially in more serious/adult conversation, considering I'm a teenager. With people my age I tend to spread but with adults I tend to cross. I find it more elegant and sometimes more comfortable. Maybe is because I've always seen my dad sitting like that and I've grown up to imitate him, but normally the educated, middle and higher class British people, like my dad, tend to sit like that. I guess the important thing is to find yourself comfortable
That sucks 😂 Nearly every politician sits this way as well as people in C-suite/board positions. It’s now a body language standard amongst powerful people.
Fantastic video Antonio. I've been thinking of this topic recently, and I'm glad that you brought it up. I find figure four to be the most uncomfortable because the way I have to shift my hips. One that I often do unconsciously is the ankle lock position, but I notice that I do this when I am in high focused situations, such as listening to someone that is fascinating, or taking any form of test.
I've been studying body language seriously for about 5 years (give or take) Its basically a whole new world once you start to understand. Please, keep them coming. Its my favorite topic in life. Keep up the great work, A-man.
A lot of what you said seems very correct. As a kid, I watched my dad in a meeting once and he sat in the leg over leg position. I then copied him and he corrected me. He told me this was for grown ups and told me that the figure four leg lock would be proper. He owned his own construction company and always dressed to the nines. I thought the leg over position sent a messaged of someone very relaxed but could also be seen as somewhat feminine by some.
I disagree on the leg over leg. If u look at at powerful figure heads (presidents, pm's, military leaders, and CEO), the leg over leg is one of the most common leg position - especially when they are being interviewed. It shows a sign of confidence and power, making them seem in control of the conversation.
Somewhere in the video he mentioned “removed from the situation, protecting yourself”. Well the people in power are usually removed and protecting themselves do ward off offensive verbal attacks from the interviewer. Sitting to reason/negotiate is not the same as sitting to be interviewed/interrogate.
If you don't spread your leg you get the soyboy lower parts syndrome, high pitch voice, unexplainable pain down there, unability to open up with people properly especially if you're shy, and of course, it may attract politically fixated girls, which in 52% of the cases ends very badly for your reputation, money, and all of this after you did all the struggle
I generally keep my knees shoulder width apart. Feet flat on the ground or resting on the outside of both heels if there's space. Seems like a good balance.
Hey, Antonio, it was a great video. I really appreciate when you put on body language videos. Most the time i see myself in the ankle crossed one, and it happens unconsciously. That last part was great especially for me.
Pretty interesting! Do make more body language videos. It's just like with crossing your arms, but even more unconscious as feet are farther away from the brain.
I've been searching about of its ok to sit l sit cross-legged as a guy, even if one finds it confortable like me, and saw a bit of this video. I agree with you, this is pretty silly
It’s strategic. Concerning yourself with leg positions can be indicative of a next level in subconscious conversation. Same way body position during handshakes matter. Or moments of silence, word count when conversing, etc.
Hey Antonio, great video as always. I have a quick question though! Could you make a video on hairstyles (classic and modern) that one could wear together with a fedora or pork pie style hat? I recently got myself a Stetson but my hair is quite boring when its not styled so i don't really know what to do. Cheers
In an interview I always start with the straight legged position showing I am ready to talk/negotiate and I end with the figure four position because it signals dominance and security messaging the interviewer that you are ready to work and it'll be a mistake to let you walk away.
Depemds on cultural context. My girlfriend hates this position, to her it shows low IQ and self-conscious problems. But overall here in Northern Europe it is not considered a dominance but rather hillbilly position
I usually sit with a Figure 4 cross because its comfy and I can put my laptop on it; otherwise I'll have legs fully extended and my ankles crossed, because its comfy . . .
leg over leg is pretty common in Europe and is considered not defensive. more like i'm paying attention and taking my time listening to you or showing interest. however, spread knees comes over as quite rude and primitive and aggressive in Europe, no elegance.
Since I started watching your videos my girlfriend noticed the changes and told me I have been showing signs of maturity. Don't tell her I'm your subscribers lol
TableTurn well thats wrong, a job interview or a business meeting are ussually verry short, you have a verry short window of time to proof yourself. And so things like body language style and image will be looked and judged at. those things are also verry well researcht, and are still being researcht. Second Steve jobs was there to help build apple from the ground, so the guy never really needed to look at things like style. So bad example
Real Men Real Style maybe some body positions that should be done while having conversations with someone and also how to understand the signals the body language sent by your listener..
It's my nature to sit leg over leg and I disagree with the analysis. For me it's formal seating position but I dont regard it as closed off. I see it as a position of physical comfort as well as a position of, I'm comfortable with who I am as a person.
Yes u can. Im 8in and i can do it very combfortably. U just gotta grab all ur junk in a handfull and put it on top of ur thighs. Completely out of the way
I was wondering about leg positions just when i saw this video in my feed, it was really informative. And I personally would love to see more body language videos in the future.
Well in Europe the "European leg cross position" is very common, you practically can not walk into a room without seeing at least 2 persons sitting with their legs crossed like that. So in Europe we don't really mind this position at all, in some places it's not even classed as being "closed for business" but the other way around, it shows that you are interested and listening, and you are relaxed in the conversation. If however you were to sit with your legs open and your back tilted forwards like in north America it can give of the signal that you are stressed and out of patience. Great vid btw!
Leg over gives me more comfort when being in a conversation. Positioning the chair slight sideways, cross the legs over, using hand gestures when explaining - it's just great.
Great ! keep making them. Although europe and us are a bit different in dressing style and communications (I am from netherlands..) it still gives me some great insight in how to and what not to... I have heard from several people that a spread seat, little bit resting backwards to one side, neutral face having your right elbow on the arm of the chair and left hand over the wrist of the other (duh..) thumbs out and fingers in relaxxx position gives the people talking to me a "Knowledgeable, trusting and comforting" feeling. keep up the great work
Crossed legs, leg over leg, and rest your arms on the back railing of the bench is always the best for me. Shows confidence, and how much of a beast you are.
Yes. I notice this and though Antonio was another huckster then found out he was a Marine. This is an officer deploying his troops. Direct, clear, concise and authoritative. No doubt is conveyed. Realizing that I became much more open to his message.
Body language videos are great. Figure four hurts my knees. I do the European. It puts the least amount of stress on my knee. It is casual for sure and i do not sit like that at work, meetings or interviews. John Wayne sits like that and so does Clint Eastwood. Im just saying.....

Yes. I notice this and though Antonio was another huckster then found out he was a Marine. This is an officer deploying his troops. Direct, clear, concise and authoritative. No doubt is conveyed. Realizing that I became much more open to his message.
Love the body language stuff! I've actually wondered about this for years! :) glad to finally know
Super!
Good video! Never thought that there are rules for sitting. Now I’m obligated, hehe.
Body language videos are great. Figure four hurts my knees. I do the European. It puts the least amount of stress on my knee. It is casual for sure and i do not sit like that at work, meetings or interviews. John Wayne sits like that and so does Clint Eastwood. Im just saying.....
Nobody gives a damn facts, men sit whatever way it’s comfortable
Antonio, it's a great idea to upload more videos about body language! Looking forward to it!
Damn it it's a 7 months old video ;D
Great video keep body language coming.
Title should be “how men shouldn’t sit.”
Now you know how not to sit, REAL MAN
@@ibamuad but I still need to learn how TO sit! Still just a boy

U.S.A = The whole planet
