Male Body Language & Lying?

Question

How do you know when a man is lying to you. Also, if he smiles with all his teeth, is that a lie? Things like that. The more specific the better. Thanks!

Answer 1

look at their hands

do they touch their face (nose, ears, scratching) while they're saying something--this is a sign of a lie or a half truth.

if they hold their chest or if the hands are out (away from the body) its something that's true

Does he/she cover his mouth (this is a big lie--the brain doesn't even want to let it out of the mouth)...

Also when they are thinking:

if their eyes go down....its probably a lie...(they are making it up)

if the eyes go up ...it's probably the truth..(they are trying to recall it).

REMEMBER:  the body language will suport what they believe to be true...not necessarily the actual truth...

Answer 2

Many humans have a heard time with eye contact and not fidgeting when they are lying...or so I've heard.

Answer 3

There is no "universal" body language.  Go with your gut, if you think he's lying, he most likely is.  don't sell yourself short.

Answer 4

Body Language of Lies:

• Physical expression will be limited and stiff, with few arm and hand movements. Hand, arm and leg movement are toward their own body the liar takes up less space.

• A person who is lying to you will avoid making eye contact.

• Hands touching their face, throat & mouth. Touching or scratching the nose or behind their ear. Not likely to touch his chest/heart with an open hand.

Emotional Gestures & Contradiction

• Timing and duration of emotional gestures and emotions are off a normal pace. The display of emotion is delayed, stays longer it would naturally, then stops suddenly.

• Timing is off between emotions gestures/expressions and words. Example: Someone says "I love it!" when receiving a gift, and then smile after making that statement, rather then at the same time the statement is made.

• Gestures/expressions don’t match the verbal statement, such as frowning when saying “I love you.”

• Expressions are limited to mouth movements when someone is faking emotions (like happy, surprised, sad, awe, )instead of the whole face. For example; when someone smiles naturally their whole face is involved: jaw/cheek movement, eyes and forehead push down, etc.

Interactions and Reactions

• A guilty person gets defensive. An innocent person will often go on the offensive.

• A liar is uncomfortable facing his questioner/accuser and may turn his head or body away.

• A liar might unconsciously place objects (book, coffee cup, etc.) between themselves and you.

Body Language

Verbal Context and Content

• A liar will use your words to make answer a question. When asked, “Did you eat the last cookie?” The liar answers, “No, I did not eat the last cookie.”

•A statement with a contraction is more likely to be truthful: “ I didn't do it” instead of “I did not do it”

• Liars sometimes avoid "lying" by not making direct statements. They imply answers instead of denying something directly.

• The guilty person may speak more than natural, adding unnecessary details to convince you... they are not comfortable with silence or pauses in the conversation.

• A liar may leave out pronouns and speak in a monotonous tone. When a truthful statement is made the pronoun is emphasized as much or more than the rest of the words in a statement.

• Words may be garbled and spoken softly, and syntax and grammar may be off. In other

words, his sentences will likely be muddled rather than emphasized.

Other signs of a lie:

• If you believe someone is lying, then change subject of a conversation quickly, a liar follows along willingly and becomes more relaxed. The guilty wants the subject changed; an innocent person may be confused by the sudden change in topics and will want to back to the previous subject.

• Using humor or sarcasm to avoid a subject.

Final Notes:

Obviously, just because someone exhibits one or more of these signs does not make them a liar. The above behaviors should be compared to a persons base (normal) behavior whenever possible.

Answer 5

its in the eyes. when anyone man or women lie their eyes go to the left its basically where the brain cortex that deals with construction. if the look up and left its a visual lies, left normal is an auditory lie and if it is down and left it is a Feeling / Kinesthetic lie. Add to this a under the nose or mouth rub then its a big big lie. Its regardless of s*x.

Answer 6

There are no easy ways to tell. There are men and women who can stare you in the eye and lie. Some of them believe the lie they are telling you, so their body language will not give them away.

Answer 7

Chances are, if he's having trouble maintaining eye contact, he's lying to you.

Answer 8

Inconsistent eye contact could also be due to social anxiety, or simple nervousness. It's very easy to misinterpret variations in eye contact.
