As a man, I try to be very scrupulous about not looking at a woman's breasts when talking to her. Nonetheless, a woman will sometimes cross her arms or fold her cardigan over her chest as I'm talking to her. It bothers me that she might be doing that because she thinks I'm looking at her breasts when I'm being very careful not to. So, question for ladies: if a woman does that, is it almost always because she thinks a man's eyes are wandering, or is it just a normal gesture? Please help me quantify this. Thanks.
Look up body language. It doesn't have to mean they think you're staring at their tits. They could just be uncomfortable
It’s not all about you, bro.
More likely they're either cold (because offices tend to be colder than women find comfortable) or they feel uncomfortable for some other reason. Or they've been standing a long time and it's more comfortable to stand that way.
I only ever think about it when a guy is standing and I'm sitting and I remember that my shirt isn't buttoned to the neck, which sometimes happens if someone walks up to my desk. Then I might fold my arms or zip up my hoodie for modesty reasons.
Not because I think he's staring, I just don't want to have an awkward moment.
It means she’s about to congratulate you for for being careful to not look at her breasts.
I cross my arms when I’m bored and tired so if u really wanna read into it too much then I’d say ur just boring and tiring women. Or you could just not make it abt you because most likely you’re not even crossing their minds lol
Remember guys, if you try to associate every body movement and action by women in relation to yourself, you will become a self centered dick. However you can work to prevent that!
I do this all the time. 99.5% it’s because I’m cold and crossing arms or pulling on cardigan keeps me warmer. The other .5% it’s because I want to project an image of seriousness and/or strongly dislike the person so don’t want to appear emotionally open to them. Gender has nothing to do with it. Crossing arms in the scenario OP described happens 0% of the time.
If you’re consciously not trying to stare at her chest, and you notice her covering up, chances are, your eyes are drifting and they’re noticing it. Covering up/ crossing your arms is red flag #1 that a woman is uncomfortable
I think I do this because I want to cross my arms but I know it would put my chest up for display so I cross my sweater and then cross my arms. Usually because I am cold or tired.
I cross my arms when I'm getting aggravated about a situation or discussion. I don't want to say the wrong thing or if I'm about to get defensive.
Close your eyes when talking to women.
