    This video is nice proof that “body language experts” are charlatans

    This really shows why behavioral science is not an exact science, i.e. physics, etc. There’s just too much personal interpretation involved.
    Still, it was very interesting to see how one action could lead to almost opposite conclusions.

    shouldn’t this be filmed secretly? I feel like people being aware that they are on tape skews the results.

      Even if they got signed permission afterwards, filming secretly first would be a major consent issue.

    I love body language videos, thank you! I went to college but didn’t have the brain for science studies. When the internet came along it was a gift to me! (Yes, I’m old)

    The way this is edited is all 9ver the place, theres no structure or oversight, and that annoys me.
    It makes sure the viewer doesnt get the correct time or angle to also analyse.

    How can it be that at least one of these experts was right each time! I can’t believe that.

    Looks like they didn’t really take cultural backgrounds into consideration.. they need to.

    Also, my first dates are pretty much similar to my dates 5 years on. It’s pretty relaxed and flirty, if you make someone comfortable, even on a first date. And flirty, comfy behavior has always been five years into my relationships.. 11 years on can start to get more distant (well, only once) 😏

    Funny how time and time again reading body language has been proven to be completely wrong and useless as astrology but here we are. On Wired 😐

    Easy tell for people married 5+ yrs — they’re both looking at their phone and not each other

    Funny how they throwing a bunch contradicting explanation without establishing a baseline for each individual.

    • Spinthepickle

      September 19, 2023 at 8:19 pm

      I think Navarro kinda covered that early in the video when he said normally they’d be looking at other information as well. They’re just doing the best they can with the setup Wired gave them. Maybe their interpretations would have been more in line if they had a baseline. I watched an episode of Sorted earlier where they were challenged to recreate a dish they had never seen or eaten. They were just given the ingredients and the dish name. The closest to replicating it won. That’s also… pretty dumb. It’s not an accurate representation of how anyone would try to replicate a dish served in a restaurant is. I think both a real in depth approach to body language analysis would be more interesting and watching the guys cook after tasting the dish would be more entertaining!

    body language reading is pseudoscience, look it up on google scholar

  35. Azure's Life @ NZ

    September 19, 2023 at 6:09 am

    Sorry to say but Indians tend to marry by arrangement of parents so it’s not surprising that many couples are not really in love with each other.

  36. Gamunu Bandara

    September 19, 2023 at 9:04 am

    FBI guys for the win.

  37. MissDemeanor

    these 3 “experts” seem about as smart as a box of rocks. nothing but contradictions.

  40. Jenni from The Dock

    September 19, 2023 at 10:09 am

    I guess they’re too professional to notice BLATANT CLUES like….ohhhh I don’t know…… WEDDING BANDS? 😂😅

  41. Cube the Fool

    September 19, 2023 at 11:54 am

    the 5th couple, they’ve been together for such a long time and still being very romantic and flirty with each other. Guess that’s why they can stay together for so long and perhaps forever.

  42. Big Poppa Tentacles

    September 19, 2023 at 5:04 pm

    Theres no such thing as a body language expert, its a pseudo science that has been thoroughly debunked.

  43. MightyMuffin

    September 19, 2023 at 11:46 pm

    I think that they should have gone with just total time together. Some folks choose not to get married or get married later, so it’s a bit wierd to have dating vs married

  44. Sheitbs

    September 20, 2023 at 1:09 am

    Dr Abbie Marono has a very questionable educational background. I wonder if Wired actually does background checks before they publish videos with so called experts.

      September 22, 2023 at 4:41 pm

    0:42: 👫 Body language experts analyze couples on first dates to guess how long they have been dating based on their behavior.
    3:03: 💑 The video discusses the behavior and body language of couples on a first date and how it contrasts with long-term relationships.
    6:06: 😊 The video discusses nonverbal cues and emotions observed during a date.
    8:56: 😊 The video discusses comfort displays and gestures in different relationships.
    11:59: ! A couple on a blind date seem comfortable and genuinely interested in each other.

    The idea that you “stop flirting” after being together for years is such a stupid generalization. Some people really value flirtation and ensuring their partner feels attractive, well after marriage. I feel like a lot of this is just picking on random behaviours and over analyzing it, which is why they got most of them wrong. It’s fun but no science.

  47. dunnowy123

    September 20, 2023 at 8:10 am

    12:16 so her assertion that “people stop flirting after being together for a while” is…objectively wrong? A lot of people really value making their partner feel attractive and vice versa. It was such a dumb generalization and personally, I see the lack of flirting as time goes by as an indicator of a flailing relationship

    M=married, D=date, number = # yrs
    Couple 1
    M4, M4, M1, actually M1
    Couple 2
    M1, D5, D5, actually D5
    Couple 3
    1stD, 1D, M1, actually 1D
    Couple 4
    D1, M1, M4, actually D1
    Couple 5
    D5, M4, 1st date, actually D14
    They all kinda averaged out.

    Imagine if one of them guessed that the other one was cheating off body language alone.

    My partner and I always sit side by side so we can analyze other people in the restaurant.
