Love Signals: A Practical Field Guide to the Body Language of Courtship

I have read a few books on this subject and found one or two to be very disapointing. This one however, is one of the best in my opinion. It is divided into neat little sections, clearly explaining each signal and sign and how to interpret it. This book is very good as it deals with more than simply picking women up in clubs [although there are references to how to do this as well]. After reading this, you will be able to spot indcators of interest through out your daily life, not just when socialising in pubs and clubs. It is very well written, entertaining and easy to follow. Not in any way gimmicky or full of useless information like some books are. This one is a definate must have for all men as it shows a different approach to the ones described in books such as "the Game" and "the mystery method" which i would also recommend to get a completely different angle on love signals and what to do about them

Theres plenty in this book that most people wouldn't consider a love signal and its nice when you read about something so subtle like a hand with the palm facing up and not realising that it was a sign.Even things like body odour, while most of us understand that sweat and that unclean smell is off putting for most, theres the same damage from too much perfume or aftershave.The animal kingdom is mentioned a lot, which does make a lot of sense, it helps us to understand, and many references to different parts of the brain and which areas are being triggered by certain movements, stances, smells, sounds and more.Its an interesting book, definately helps you to understand more and a book that you could of course go back to as a reference.

Good and applicable anthropology! It's apparently based on years of research and delivered in a very matter of fact way that makes it trustworthy - it brings to mind a lot of things I've personally experienced and gives understanding. Very good. Of course swift delivery, you can't get much faster than electronic transmission!

Interesting book

I loved this book, it helps with interpretation of signals from the other part...... To read before your first dates.

There's really nothing very revealing or insightful. Not very interesting.

It's happened to all of us--you're out and about and see someone and think, Wow, I like that. And he never glances your way. Ouch! Well, this book helps to remedy that and can help you to pick up on body language signals that will enable you to get to the better relationships and past the rejection. I think this one is a keeper, along with another I quite liked:  How To Be Wanted: Use the Law of Attraction to Date the Man You Most Desire and Live the Life You Deserve .

To me, this book stated the obvious and presented a too simplistic view on signalling behaviour. In a way, it was superstitious. If you like voodoo and black magic, give this a go.

Other body language books commonly have the "If A, then B" type of presentation. "If she preens, it means this".The author not only takes a logical approach to explaining body language, but also the value it brings in social interactions. I can't quite explain it, but its the author's emphasis on the mystery of shyness and the expression of body language that's out in the open yet remains invisible. A quote in a book sums it up."I find it fascinating that we feel free to express ourselves through body language about things we would never speak of in words".This book has helped me become hyperaware during social interactions. Reading body language is slowly becoming instinct. It has helped me understand my own shyness threshold and other's.This is one of the few books worth reading over and over again. I will be adding this to my collection of life skill books.

A very interesting book with many interesting ideas. It is hardly however a practical guide - I have learned much more about the sexy body language from the chapters in standard body-language treatments, such as Julia Fast and Alan Pease.Also, I was a bit annoyed about the author sprinkling the text with many professional terms, which are explained, but really do not add much understanding.

The book is informative and gives useful clues to sorting out some mysteries of human nature. The writing style did not captivate me, but it worked well enough.

J'ai beaucoup aimé ce premier livre de David Givens.Son approche est très pragmatique.Ce livre regorge d'informations utiles pour tous ceux qui veulent approcher le sujet des relations humaines sous un angle anthropologique.Il est aussi très facile à lire.

Imagine that you've had a weathered old treasure map lying around your house for years. People told you that it's a real treasure map, and yet for some reason, you never got around to following it. Finally, one day, out of curiosity, you say, "What the hell -- let's see where this takes us." You follow the map, and -- you find treasure! Who knew.That's how I feel about "Love Signals" by Dr David Givens. I had known about its existence for years, but only now finally got to reading the whole book. What a treat! It is full of fascinating, little-known yet totally essential facts about how human beings operate in the world. I thought I had read every book under the sun about love and courtship, and yet this book contained reams of entirely brand-new data for me. I must have highlighted a good 40% of the text. Some delightful things I had never heard of before:-- Lip compression and showing the tip of the tongue are unconscious aversive signals. If you do them, people will stay away, and you won't even know why.-- Trigeminal taste, related to what people would call "heat" or "spiciness", is unexpectedly arousing-- The importance of signaling vulnerability for a successful approach (eg through pigeon toes or an exposed neck), especially if you're a guy.I particularly like that fact that Dr Givens has done a lot of the primary research himself and presents the data to you with the rigor and care of a scientist. No wildcat anecdotal claims in this book: everything is amply supported by peer-reviewed observation. The information in this book is so esssential and yet so little-known by the general public that it should be called "The Book of Secrets." And yet, here it is, hiding in plain sight. If you're interested in improving your love life or understanding humans a little bit better, this is essential reading.-- Ali Binazir, M.D., M.Phil., author of  The Tao of Dating: The Smart Woman's Guide to Being Absolutely Irresistible , the highest-rated dating book on Amazon for 157 weeks The Tao of Dating: The Smart Woman's Guide to Being Absolutely Irresistible
