Was sitting in town on a nice sunny day,and we had a competition, to see how many people actually when standing,stand with their hands on their sides.Some fold their arms ,some put a hand in their pocket,or hands on their hips etc,but out of fifty or so people we found one guy that was standing with his hands down .I thoughgt vthis was quite interesting.Are you a hands down person?i,m not ,i always have one hand in my pocket.And no lol i,m not playin with it.bet nearly every one puts their hand somewhere

When I sit in a livingroom chair I use the sides of the chair to lift me up because of a bad knee. I just tested to see what I do with my arms when I get off a chair that doesn't have sides and I see that sometimes my arms are at my side and sometimes out in front of me.

BTW, I took a peek at your profile. I'm envious of where you live. Absolutely beautiful!

I've noticed that men in the U.S. rarely put hands in pockets anymore, and you used to see that all the time. It was kind of a swagger, laissez-faire sort of thing. Now, it seems like it has lost it's "cool". You even hear some bosses/authority types say, "Don't stand around with your hands in your pockets", or "get those hands out of your pockets". I admit it irritates me, too, it looks rather lazy. To me, anyhow.

I cross my chest with one arm, holding the strap of my bag or purse and the other is down or both arms are down because my bag is strapped across by chest leaving my hands free to do what they want.

I have always heard that when people stand with their arms and hands hanging staight to their sides they either come from a military back ground or prison uh oh when arms are crossed they are guarded there has been many studies on this subject. It depends alot on my enviroment on how I stand. Am I comfortable? But in all honesty I am the type of person I hardly stand still long enough to have my hands at my side for any extended amount of time I also talk with my hands wine
