Melbourne, Jan 19: Ever wondered why you catch your man when he lies to you? Well, that’s because you have superior sensory equipment. According to self-help authors and body language experts Allan and Barbara Pease, men and women think differently and have different behaviours.
The body language research of humans reveal, that in face-to-face communication, non-verbal signals account for around 60% of the impact of the message, while vocal sounds make up for around 30%. The other 10% or so is words, said the authors.
While communicating, a woman`s superior sensory equipment picks the information and analyses it, reports a newspaper.
Her brain`s ability to transfer rapidly between hemispheres makes her more proficient at integrating and deciphering verbal, visual and other signals. That is why most men have difficulty in successfully lying to a woman face-to-face.
But, lying to a man on face is comparatively easy, as he does not have the necessary sensitivity to spot incongruities between her verbal and non-verbal signals.
Most men, if they were going to lie to a woman, would be far better off doing it over the phone, in a letter or with all the lights off, and a blanket over their heads.
