Body Language Analysis No. 4193: Hope Hicks, Sexual Attraction, Armpits, and Elbows - Nonverbal and Emotional Intelligence (PHOTO)

Yesterday, in a triple-sourced article, The New York Times reported that Mark Corallo (who served as a spokesman for Donald Trump's legal team before resigning in July) has concerns that the White House communications director Hope Hicks "could be contemplating obstructing justice".

Specifically, Ms. Hicks allegedly told President Trump on a conference call that Donald Trump Jr.'s emails "will never get out,". It's also reported that Mr. Corallo plans to share this information with special counsel Robert Mueller.

The above picture of Hope Hicks was taken in early November 2017. She was on a small boat with other members of the President's entourage - on their way to the Pearl Harbor memorial. This stop in Hawai'i occurred just prior to Donald Trump's five-nation Asia trip.

With rare exception, whenever a woman exposes her armpits - and more specifically as Ms. Hicks is doing here - directed OUT LATERALLY (not straight ahead) - it's a subtype of high-alpha nonverbal behavior. More specifically, this display is very strong signal of both sexual attraction and putting oneself on sexual display.

Hicks' sexual emotions are being amplified even further via the upward direction of her elbows.

Of course, both men and women need (and feel the need) to adjust their hair. However, regardless of gender, no one ever makes this configuration without first feeling high levels of emotional confidence (alpha emotions). Moreover, with women, it's extremely rare for this behavior (arms held high, elbows out laterally) to occur without the presence of either significant sexual attraction and/or in the absence of a sexual display.

Summary: Hope Hicks is, with very high probability, sexually attracted to the man with whom she's speaking - and she wants him to know it.

Nonverbal Communication Analysis No. 3489: Margot Robbie wants Prince Harry - Body Language (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

Although Margot Robbie has been in a relationship with Tom Ackerley, a British assistant director, for almost two years, her appearance on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show tells us she desires Prince Harry. When actors are not "in character", particularly when they're discussing their personal lives and experiences - they're no better than average at suppressing their nonverbal behavior.

What follows is a partial nonverbal analysis of Ms. Robbie's this appearance.

During 0:09 - 0:11, Margot displays a variation of the elbows-out, armpit configuration as Jimmy Fallon takes out the picture taken in a photo booth which includes (along with some friends) both herself and Prince Harry (who she had mistook for Ed Sheeran).

The elbows-out armpit display, when coupled with certain facial expressions conveys a significant element of sexuality (In this moment Ms. Robbie's face includes a sincere smile/sincere laughter with blushing which carries with it a component of embarrassment). It doesn't necessarily indicate that a person is attracted to someone in the immediate area. It does however mean that they are feeling, significantly sexual. Of course here she's on TV and the Internet - so her display is to a much larger audience than most moments in life.

Not surprisingly, this effect of this nonverbal cluster is significantly amplified when armpits are not covered by clothing. What may be intriguing to some people however, is that the elbows-out, armpit exposed body language will also often sexually stimulate many of those who see this behavior.

This particular nonverbal cluster is indicative of a high sincerity moment (0:40 - 0:42).

When the head-neck unit is tilted (and here rotated as well) coupled with finger/thumb touching of the temple region - along with a smile - the smile is almost always a sincere one (Duchenne Smile). Her blushing also indicates a high level of sincerity.

Immediately after Fallon points out that Harry was also in the picture, Margot touches her ring on the ring-finger of her left hand (1:14 - 1:15) indicating a romantic emotional tone toward the Prince.

Watch out Tom Ackerley, your princess is on the prowl.

Nonverbal Communication Analysis No. 3355: Spin the Microphone on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show - Gwen Stefani is very attracted to Blake Shelton - Body Language (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

Along with Adam Levine and Pharrell Williams, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton were also guests of Jimmy Fallon Tuesday on the Tonight Show (The original video has been removed from Fallon's Youtube Channel).

Gwen Stafani displayed multiple nonverbal signals indicating her sexual attraction to Blake Shelton. And Blake sent some back. Some of these body language tells are disgusted below.

Gwen Stefani repeatedly displayed a classic signal of sexual display/sexual attraction during this "Spin the Microphone" game.

Multiple times, along with other body pointing, Stephani directed her armpits toward Blake Shelton while falsely adjusting here hair.

Stefani's "Elbows Out Hair Adjust" aka "Armpit display" was repeatedly directed at Sheldon - not only with one arm several times - but with both.

Pharrell Williams and Adam Levine recognized (or had foreknowledge) of their two co-judges' ("The Voice") mutual attraction and seemed to acquiesce their own respective energies to Gwen, Blake - and their bonding. 

Depending on the other nonverbals with which it is clustered, this elbows out (false) hair adjust is a very reliable signal of sexual attraction and/or sexual display.

Stephani's and Shelton's eye contact with each other was significantly greater than with Fallon, Pharrell or Levine. This was particularly true of Gwen.

Note Stephani's hips very close to Shelton's during this hug. This is body language proximity is highly indicative of significant affection and/or sexual attraction.

If you were to only see this last image, based on their body language - who would you think is more attracted to the other, Shelton to Stephani or Stephani to Shelton .... or is their attraction about equal? What specifically makes you conclude their relative attraction levels?

Nonverbal Communication Analysis No. 3338: Brie Larson, Jimmy Fallon and a common Body Language Signal of Sexual Display and/or Sexual Attraction (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

Brie Larson was a guest on the Tonight Show last week. The actress/singer recounted for Jimmy Fallon a time when, as an eighteen-year old, she went to a college party at Brown University. During her description of this misadventure, she displays one very telling body language signal three times.

When a woman adjusts her hair with her elbow up and out - with her upper arm approximately in the same plane as her "shoulder axis" - there is a high degree of reliability that she is putting herself on sexual display. Here Brie Larson is showing us an armpit display during 0:01 - 0:04.

As is the case with many nonverbals - the true emotion (sexual) is (partially) camouflaged with a very obvious and practical action (e.g., here, a false hair adjust). And while this is absolutely an alpha display - be careful not to confuse this with the "Hair Adjust Behind Ear" (HABE) nonverbal.

It may very well be in a voyeuristic sense - e.g., if televised, on YouTube or social media, etc. - she is putting herself on display for the public-at-large rather than necessarily for the person who is interviewing/speaking directly with her.

When there is a more direct sexual attraction - such as in a semi-private setting (e.g. at a restaurant) or in private, the elbow is typically held up for longer duration. Crucially, this sexually provocative nonverbal configuration exposes the arm pit as well as putting the breasts on deliberate display. When the sexual attraction is at a higher level - sometimes this armpit display may be seen bilaterally (with both arms).

While this very flirtatious body language tell is significantly more commonly with women - it's certainly not rare at all to see it exhibited by straight men.

As with all nonverbal communication - it's of paramount importance never to interpret signals in isolation - but together with other simultaneous (or nearly so) signs clustered with it. What are some scenarios where the armpit is exposed in which a completely different emotion is being broadcasted? (And just as importantly - what are the other nonverbal modifiers one would expect to see in such circumstances?)

A second armpit display: 0:35 - 0:39

Again during 0:56 - 1:00

Nonverbal Communication Analysis No. 3160: Warren Sapp Recounts Night with Prostitutes - Body Language (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

TMZ Sports has just released a video of a portion of Warren Sapp's interview-interrogation associated with his subsequent arrest in Phoenix, Arizona on 2 February 2015 (the day after the Super Bowl) for allegedly soliciting a prostitute.

The above video is shown here because it includes a very telling nonverbal. When one arm (and often this is seen with both arms) is directed laterally (NOT pointed forward) - and usually for more than just a second or two - wherein the armpit is widely exposed (it may of course be covered by clothing), depending on the other nonverbal signals with which it is clustered, it usually indicates one of three emotional states:

1. Alpha Dominance
2. I or We have just been defeated or captured
3. Sexual attraction or sexual fantasy with a component of sexual arousal

Based on the other signals present, which of the above scenarios do you think applies to Warren Sapp in this scenario? How would your decision and body language analysis be influenced by the fact that at the time of this video, Mr. Sapp did not believe he was going to be arrested?
