Body Language Analysis No. 4340: Ruby Rose gets Emotional regarding her new Role as Batwoman - Nonverbal and Emotional Intelligence (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

On 7 August 2018, the CW network announced they are casting Ruby Rose as Batwoman (whose alter ego is fictional character Kate Kane). It's a role she has dreamed of acting since childhood. Shortly thereafter, Ms. Rose received harsh criticism which asserted "wasn't lesbian enough", "wasn't Jewish" (in the comic series, Kane's character is Jewish), and "lacked the acting skills" to play Batwoman. Yet, Ruby Rose came out as lesbian when she was twelve years old. Ms. Rose has quit Twitter following this backlash.

The day after CW's Batwoman series announcement, Ruby Rose was a guest on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show.

One particular nonverbal display during this interview is worthy of a closer look.

At 1:21 in the above video, Ruby Rose briefly looks upward as she groans. Just afterward she says, "I said I wouldn't do that". Earlier in this exchange, she spoke of her fear of and need to avoid tears.

Momentarily and forcefully gazing straight upward is a little recognized, yet quite common dynamic we all occasionally display when we are trying to keep from crying. This nonverbal mechanism is subconsciously driven. Ruby Rose's desire to suppress her tears was sincere.

Body Language Analysis No. 4152: Ruby Rose and her Mother's (Overgrown) Pig - Nonverbal and Emotional Intelligence (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

Ruby Rose was recently a guest on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. She was promoting her soon to be released film, Pitch Perfect 3. She also discussed her trepidation toward a pig (who had grown unexpectedly large) she had purchased for her mother. What follows is a partial nonverbal analysis of her conversation with Jimmy Fallon.

On multiple occasions during her interview, Ruby Rose displays a classic and particular nonverbal signal which you've no doubt seen, yet is rarely discussed in any body language text: Asymmetrical Blinking.

During, 1:11, Ruby Rose Rolls her Eyes - both of them. This bilateral ocular display transmits the thought-emotions of:

• Contempt
• Impatient Dismissal

A split second later, also during 1:11, Ruby Rose displays an example of asymmetrical blinking. Asymmetrical blinking occurs when one eyelid closes while the other remains partially open - and/or when one eyelid re-opens whilst the other remains closed/mostly closed.

Asymmetrical Blinking frequently is seen multiple times in rapid succession, but it may also occur at a slower frequency and singularly.

She repeats the Asymmetrical Blinking once again during 3:08.

While Eye Rolling and Asymmetrical Blinking both project (in part) the emotion of Contempt - Asymmetrical Blinking also indicates thought feelings of:

• Sarcasm
• Pretentiousness
• Feigned Disbelief 

It's helpful to think of Asymmetrical Blinking as a Partially Suppressed Eye Roll.

Another display of Asymmetrical Blinking is exemplified during 3:41

Fascinatingly, while an eye roll occurs primarily at the level of consciousness (a deliberate act) with some dips into the edge-of-consciousness, Asymmetrical Blinking is a somewhat deeper phenomenon - happening mostly at the edge-of-consciousness but partially diving into the subconscious.

Summary: Asymmetrical Blinking is a nonverbal amalgam, displaying the emotions of Contempt - and also Pretentiousness, Sarcasm, and Feigned Disbelief.

Whenever you see Asymmetrical Blinking, it should signal to you that there is a component of hyperbolic behavior and Insincerity present.

Shakespeare would say, Asymmetrical Blinking is a classic nonverbal example of:

"The Lady doth protest too much, methinks."
