I remember watching Dr. Oz and one of his guests comes out talking about the importance of body language. He basically explained that if you have your shoulders slumped over, chest in, talking quiet... you're going to be in a depressed state. I even tried this myself where I had no reason to be depressed, but I wanted to mellow out to see what would happen. I kept thinking "Why the fuck am I feeling depressed? I have no goddamn reason to be", because I felt depressed for no reason.
He also explained that if you stick your chest out a bit, talk a little bit louder, have hand gestures, etc... you will be in a good state. And it's true. Just try it yourself.
Now I'm thinking... We've all heard of Mind over Body... but maybe it's backwards. In my opinion it should be Body over Mind. The way you do things with your body will make your mind feel a certain way.
Thinking back... I remember I had BAD nervousness with this girl I was walking to class with. (I was in my head and not in the moment) I forced myself to stick out my chest, to the point I probably looked like some cocky douche lol... but I remember it helped dramatically.
Obviously you don't want to be in your head when talking to women, cause it always comes out fucked. But just practice good body language so it becomes natural and you don't have to think about it. I think if we can master that than we would be unstoppable. Fuck all the shit that is being taught... everything will fall into it's place if we can master good body language.
So what is good body language?
Good question. I need help answering that too. However, to get you started I think this is an awesome video that everyone should watch.

I really like this video. He explains head out chest slightly out etc, and also says to have a bit of spring in your step. Have a swagger to you. Don't be that beta phaggot who does these things but looks like he's acting hard. Probably b/c the majority of the time he has a serious face and has no swagger/spring to his step. That makes you look like you want to fight someone... and you know what those guys look like.
I really wish I could find more on this guy. You can tell he is a stud and knows what he's doing. Anyways... feel free to drop some tips on what good body language is... and/or share your thoughts.
Oh and this is just my opinion. Maybe I'm completely fucking off and you should speak up if you think so. I'm no pimp, I'm just speaking on my little experiences.
