Men are more attracted to women with a child-like face - large eyes, small noses, full lips and cheeks. Women, conversely, prefer men with adult faces that show the ability to defend - strong jaws, larger brows and a strong nose. [2004] - Allan Pease

A woman doesn't need to be naturally beautiful to attract a man. She mainly needs to be able to display the signs that she could be available. [2004] - Allan Pease

We prefer to find mates who are roughly as attractive as we are, which means they are more likely to stay and not look for a better offer. [2004] - Allan Pease

Women continually express a preference for men with deeper, smoother voices. Overall, women also look for athletic body shape, broad shoulders, muscular chest and arms and a tight butt. Women find male hips with a 90% waist-to-hips ratio the most appealing. [2004] - Allan Pease

Taller people are more successful, healthier and live longer than short people. [2004] - Allan Pease

To ensure marital bliss, a man needs to be 1.09 times taller than his partner. [2004] - Allan Pease

Sitting directly opposite others creates bad vibes. The 'right-hand man' is more favored and others subconsciously credit the right-hand person with having more power than the one on the left side. More business deals are made when a salesperson sits to the customers' left than to their right. [2004] - Allan Pease

The left side of your face is the best side for giving a presentation. [2004] - Allan Pease

If you are going to do business over dinner, it's a wise strategy to complete most of the conversation before the food arrives. First, whether you are dining at home or at a restaurant, have the other person sitting with his back to a solid wall or screen. Next, the lights should be dimmed and muffled background music should be played to relax the senses. It would be best to use a round table and to have the other person's view of other people obscured by a screen or large green plant if you want a captive audience. [2004] - Allan Pease

Making Great First Impressions: Always stand in a reception area - never sit. Stand with Hand-in-Hand behind your back (confidence) and slowly rock back and forth on your feet (confident, controlled) or use the Steeple gesture (but never do this at the Tax Office). Put down your briefcase, folder or whatever is in your hands, shake the person's hand and immediately take a seat. Never shake directly across a desk. Use a person's name twice in the first 15 seconds and never talk for more than 30 seconds at a time. If the door was closed when you entered, close it behind you as you leave. If you're a man, make sure you have shined the back of your shoes. [2004] - Allan Pease

The most persuasive words in spoken language are: discovery, guarantee, love, proven, results, save, easy, health, money, new, safety and you. [2004] - Allan Pease

The higher the back of the chair, the more power and status the person sitting in it is perceived to have. Swivel chairs have more power and status than fixed chairs. Chairs with armrests, those that lean back and those that have wheels have more power. [2004] - Allan Pease

In Western cultures, men wearing chocolate colored suites turn women off. [2004] - Allan Pease

Keep your fingers closed when you gesture, your hands below chin level and avoid arm or feet crossing. [2004] - Allan Pease

Lean forward when listening, stand straight when speaking. [2004] - Allan Pease
