Man touching chimpanzee hand1/9/2023 ![]() … so I’m going to walk you through a few different parts of talking to guys… Getting comfortable with touching someone that you’re attracted to and don’t know that well can scary… It’s all about the touch and breaking the touch barrier. One of the most typical questions I get from women is, “How do I show interest in a guy? T he RIGHT Way to Touch a Guy to Show Interest in Him That’s exactly what I teach in Emotional Attraction Formula, a program for going beyond superficial attraction, and deep into the type of attraction that hooks him where it matters – his heart and his mind. In the initial phase of a relationship, women have been taught from a young age to use their sex appeal to attract a man.īut if you want to attract the right guy, and keep him around for the long term, you need to know how to emotionally attract him. Learning the right way to touch a guy gives you access to a whole new language for attraction. In this video I show you how to use touch to let him know you’re interested (and more) If you want a chance with him, you need to show some interest. Of course not, we’re hiding over here in the bushes watching him through binoculars! The research appears in the current issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Tall, beautiful eyes, tan, walking around in that perfectly tailored navy suit… So the flexibility of gestures may be the first primitive step toward the evolution of human language. Spoken language in humans is infinitely flexible, Goldin-Meadow says. "These species can be modifying their gestures and perhaps teaching their gestures to one another, or learning their gestures - so that it has a sort of flexibility that might allow a communication system to grow out of it," Goldin-Meadow says. It suggests that gestural communication might be a precursor to human language. Language researcher Susan Goldin-Meadow from the University of Chicago, finds this flexibility intriguing. The point: gestures are flexible - apes use them to communicate different things in different situations. ![]() For example, a particular vocalization, like a pant-hoot, was used by all four groups in the same kind of situation. Vocalizations and facial expressions were pretty much fixed. They found that only gestures varied between the four groups and between the two species. The researchers also compared gestures with two other ways that apes communicate: vocalizations and facial expressions. It was developed by one female named Georgia, and she introduced her family members to it, and now all the chimps in the group are doing it." ![]() together above their heads when they groom each other with the other hand," de Waal says. just one group, where the chimpanzees hold hands. "There are no other bonobos in the world that I know of that do that."Īnd, de Waal adds, if one ape starts using a gesture in a unique context, others in the group are apt to copy it, leading to what's called "cultural transmission." The group develops its own dialect of gestures. "The bonobos they clap their hands sometimes while they groom each other," de Waal says. The apes in this study also started using an old gesture in a completely novel situation. "In that case, it seems to mean: Why don't you come help me? So the same gesture can be used for very different reasons." "So let's say I have a fight with you, and my best friend is coming around the corner, and I go to my best friend and hold out an open hand," de Waal explains. "And the apes use that in that particular context to beg for food."īut the researchers discovered that in a different situation, the open-hand gesture conveys something totally different. "The open-hand begging gesture is also a universal human gesture used for begging for money and for food," de Waal notes. The researchers linked each gesture with the context of what was going on at the moment.Īmong those gestures, says primatologist Frans de Waal, is when a chimp extends an open hand when it sees another chimp with something it wants - food, for example. Researchers Frans de Waal and Amy Pollick videotaped hundreds of hours of the chimps and bonobos, which showed the primates using more than 30 distinct gestures such as waving a hand, raising an arm, dabbing with a finger or reaching out. Chimps and bonobos are two separate species of apes genetically, they are humans' closest relatives. Researchers at Emory University studied gestures used by two groups of chimps and two groups of bonobos. Watch a group of apes for a while and you'll inevitably see them use their hands to communicate that they want something from another - like food, or to play, or to be groomed, or to have sex. An adolescent bonobo male making sexual advances to a female adds the arm raise gesture.
