OK, this post is not about sex tapes. No, it's about seeing yourself as you are when dressed.
Or, actually, seeing yourself walking when dressed.
I've recently taken my camcorder and taped myself walking, standing, sitting, bending and otherwise doing normal everyday things while dressed.
What an eye opener!
You know the posture and walking gate we learned as men? Well, I thought I had the female walk down until I saw myself on tape. Arggggg!
I also noted that I have a terrible tendency to bend my head down when I walk. Mistake! When I do that, I look like a male gorilla shuffling along.
And that side to side shuffle we guys have? Well, I thought I had that under control until I saw myself on camera. Again - Arggggg!
So, lots of work yet to do. We can't change our body too much, but we sure can change how we move.
Get out your camera and see what I'm talking about.
Head posture is a very male tell. So is the position of your feet/legs when you walk up to something and stop (men brace to engage.) Other things to check are bending over to pick something up (men bow their backs more) and sitting at a table and drinking from a glass (men quaff.) In all cases men stick their elbows out more, brace more and in general take up more room. "Male privilege" is telegraphed in most movements.
