A further point about sitting with your legs crossed: remember how long your socks are. Flashing a length of hairy shin won't look good. Invest in knee-length socks for job interviews and other important occasions.

I've found that exercise and manual labour makes my movements and body language more natural, especially when walking. So to everyone who finds that they look awkward when moving around, I suggest trying to either exercise or do some heavy work in the yard or something.

I would especially recommend making sure your upper back is in shape, be it through sports, work or specific training exercises. When the upper back muscles are in shape, proper posture comes naturally. Especially archery training helped me to adopt an open posture, whereas previously I had a natural tendency to walk somewhat hunched.

As a person with autism myself, I want to say thank you for mentioning that people with autism need to find a peer to help them (if need be) on these social cues. There is one point of feedback though. People with autism follow different guidelines of social cues and that is untrainable. Mentoring would help but generalized situations often fall short on the reality for them. Its like we think we learn him to fish but instead he just got the fish to eat for that day... Just thought to chip than in as autism expert for those watching the video :)

Hello @Robert V. , I agree with you with most of what you say. I have also autism and as a young lad, I used to struggle very much with these things. However, as someone who got enough luck to have been trained and worked in the military prior to my diagnosis, I got the opportunity to be corrected on my posture and the aspects of body language dealt with in this video during that time. But true to say that more subtle cues are, unfortunately, difficult to understand... Or I understand through other things. So, anyhow, I still think that such video would be helpful for some of us. Even if we are all différent...

@Seaworth It is, though .Autism is a separate neurology which by definition affects both how we take in information and use it. Robert's commenting specifically that in situations that aren't one to one to a situation we have been taught a response to, we often do not consider them similar in the way a neurotypical person would and therefore won't apply a taught response to them. I have this issue somewhat regularly, even though I'm passable at masking. Scripting can help, but it's inauthentic and frankly stressful.

As I often say ... if you meet one person with ASD - you've met one person with autism. Everyone presents differently. There's a lot of high functioning autism (Aspergers) in my family. We can and have learned non-verbal communication, but it's conscious learning, and takes practice to get right. Having a few rules can get you started, but then there are all the exceptions, cultural differences, code switching ... these are important skills, and while not everyone can learn them, it's always worth the effort to try.

the walking and standing also have psychological effects too

Your voice is the clearest I've ever hear man

These tips are great but I always forget them whenever I'm actually talking to someone and after the conversation ends I think about how I should've done it differently.

Well done, Sir. Your advice reminded me a lot of how I was taught to walk at New Mexico Military Institute, a military high school / college. Proper etiquette was very important there and I’m glad for it. I wish it were more widely taught.

This is such a lovely video that managed to explain expected social cues without being ableist or neurotypical about it. Bravo.

*t-poses aggressively with a vitriolic stare* I think i'm doing alright (honestly, thank you for explaining why i'm in constant pain and often ignored whenever i'm standing talking to people)

This is a fantastic video! Well done mate, well done. I especially appreciate your honesty with your physical attributes that can effect the way people might move or interact. Food for thought when talking to others that might have such. I have personally focused on body language for 20 years and found this video to be spot on the money, I also noticed that I walk with fists and I will now adjust my walk. Thank you again gentleman, yours sincerely CJ.

I have never thought about such simple things in such depth, awesome !!!

I greatly enjoy listening to your voice Preston, and I wish everyone spoke like you.

Always educational. Love you folks!

Thanks for the video again, Rafael. In our culture, leg over leg is similar to man spread, as an impolite gesture which is sad because I really like to sit like this.

i watch these videos simply because Raphael makes me laugh with his amazing facial acting :D

Hand gestures... How much is to much? Italians: YES

Never walk, jog, or run with your hands in pockets! I've restored several folks front teeth after they stumbled, tripped, and faceplanted. Nothing worse than reconstructing a smile, and supporting structures. Can be done, albeit, not as quickly or as fast as they were ruined. Just my $.02.

Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I know a teenager (who was educated at a boxing gym where they were not allowed to put his hands in his pockets): he came home from school, stating he wasn't going to work with another boy at school and who kept his hand in his pocket while talking to him.

LOL, I like the funny samples of what not to do.

When you are in a threatening situation and don’t feel secure walking with your fists clenched is a sign of physical strength and makes you appear to be a less vulnerable target .

Looking at this guy I can't stop thinking about he saying "Do u want a cop of tea?" 😂 By the way your tips are priceless ✨

As per usual, great video! One thought, however: leg- on- leg sitting, while polite, is not great for lower- body circulation, and can lead to varicose veins in the legs.

May I say, you do socks so well, really. Thank you : )

Thank you for your helpful instructions and guidance. I have a walking situation when I'm out with my wife. I think I'm polite by walking at her pace, but I feel that her much slower speed hampers me. I feel ungainly. I've noticed other men will not wait for their slower partners, especially when shopping. Advice please.

Great thanks, the man spreading was very funny. Esp on a plastic office chair haha.

Lovely people in the GG team

I see that you use the barrel-style cufflink closure, as I do. I do not currently travel in circles where cufflinks are widely used, but am aware that the barrel style is relatively uncommon compared to the "pinched" closure (which presumably displays more ostentatiously that one is in fact using cufflinks rather than a button closure). I have therefore been looking for feedback on the barrel style cufflink closure - its pros and cons, how it is perceived by the larger cufflink-wearing community. So, Preston, could I ask for your thoughts on these matters?

This channel is great, let's bring back chivalry gents!

Man this is funny and spitting bars 😂

At 13:29 is the knockout walk 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good video. But I disagree with the man spreading part because third wave feminists turned this into a problem by saying that it's sexist, but actually isn't. How is a man supposed have that area down there any room to breathe? I do agree though that a man or a woman shouldn't spread there legs too widely though that it takes up too much space for the next person who wants to sit down on that extra seat you're taking up.

However much I love GG content, the manspreading part was much to my dismay. First, for not considering the need for breathing of skin and fabric down there. Second, (presumably) for not examining the origin of the word itself. It is a construct that has not been lingering around for a long time. Anyway, it would have been a nice detail to explain the view on, and acceptance of, the posture throughout the last 2-3 centuries.
