 LEGS
APART
Definite
The legs apart stance, predominantly a male
gesture, is a resolutely stable immovable
posture. It tells you tells you that a person is
standing his ground and is favored by those
who wish to show their dominance.

APART POSE
Legs apart is used as a dominance signal by men
because it highlights the genitals, giving them a virile
look.

scratching or giving their crotch an adjustment. This
allows males to highlight their masculinity and show
solidarity as a team by performing the same actions

to display them to their best advantage, turning their feet
outward to reveal their inner thighs, the softer and most
erogenous part of their legs.This a valuable clue to a

people sitting like this talk in shorter
sentences, reject more proposals and can
recall less detail of what was discussed
