Why do women cross their arms over their chests?

Question

Many women at work and elsewhere spend most of the time with their arms crossed over their chest.

Is this because they think all men are staring at their b*****s?

It is a very awkward social thing for me, especially since I am NOT like that at all. It hurts me to think that they think I am.

But of course it's not just me I see it all the time, what gives?

Answer 1

I just do it for comfort really. Like if I'm not wearing pants with pockets, I do that so I have a place to put my arms. But as long as I have pockets my hands are just in my pockets. It's not to prevent people from staring. But it's like..they don't stare, so I might as well. *laughs*

Answer 2

I only do it if I have no other place to put my hands. If I have pockets, my hands will go in them.

Answer 3

It's strange. They show their clevage off but then accuse men of staring all the time. Why don't they just not dress up as tarts?

Of course we aren't all like that and so it is annoying.

Answer 4

Crossing of the arm's is a very common way of trying to defend ones self. Crossing arm's can also be showing Comforting behavior such as rubbing of the neck. Although obviously because I don't know the women there could be other thing's there doing which tell us more about there Body Language.

Answer 5

I do it, I've noticed, when someone is annoying me.

Answer 6

Our society is constantly degrading the feminist occupation since time began its been a "man's world. If you look closely you'll see the male cross his arms also. Crossing of the arms is an unconscious gesture of defiance. or when sitting the legs can be crossed. This may also represent a form of protection against the persuasiveness of society's influence to change your attitude. "its body language."
