Body Language: Hands

Our hands are composed of 27 small bones, all connected together through

dozens of ligaments and numerous tiny muscles to move our joints.  According to researchers, there are more amounts of nerve connections between our hands and our brain than any other part of the body making it the most revealing and visible area of our body when trying to read body language.  These are some of the many popular hand gestures:

• Rubbing Hands: When someone quickly rubs their palms together, it's a sign of positive expectation.  Haven't you ever made exciting plans and while talking about them with someone, you rubbed your hands in impatience looking forward to the event?  Observe some people who are about to throw dice...they'll quickly rub the dice inside their palms before throwing it in hopes of good fortune, go to a local club and watch the MC introduce his special guest for that night...they'll rub heir hands while saying "We have a special treat tonight ___".  One thing you have to notice though is the speed in which the person is rubbing their hands together.  If a person rubs their hands together quickly this means they are hoping for a honest positive outcome for themselves and/or everyone, whereas if they rub their hands slowly, this can clearly be interpreted as a sign of deviousnessand sneakiness.  Many used car salesman use the slow rubbing hands movement while trying to get rid of one of their old black smoke exhaust bombs.
