Question

“Why does nonverbal communication speak louder than words in intimate relationships?”

Answer 1

For a lot of people its what you do or don't do in a relationship that tells them how you feel about them. I think the quote is "If someone shows you who they are, believe them" basically you can make your mouth say anything...but your actions are what makes the difference. For instance, if you say you love me, but constantly cheat on, yell at, and put me down then I not going to believe you. Its sad but people's word is not as good a source as it use to be. Also lots of times its not what you say but how you say it. A person can say "yea sure!" and mean two different things. Its all about body language and tone. They say that most communication is not done through words. Its true. Just think of all the times in your life when someone has said they would do something and you didn't believe them. Most likely you didn't believe them because of a past experience with them. Their past actions spoke to you louder than any promise they could make. This is not just true in intimate relationships but all relationships.

Answer 2

That's simple... because your nonverbal actions shows how you actually feel about that particular person.

If some woman touches me... smiles at me... winks at me... can't keep her eyes off me... I know she is some mysterious woman lurking in the corner ready to be swept off her feet.

So do I pursue it? You bet! Why? For the thrill, fun, emotional attachment, and sex.

Nothing in life gets better than that. Woo hoo!

Answer 3

Most people can lie with words because they consciously think of what to say but many people are not fully aware of their body language and the little signals they send out so therefore cannot control them.

Answer 4

Because it shows our true intent....
