Men should sit however they want, but you won't find me sitting in the "leg-over-leg" position; it's just too uncomfortable. I mostly sit with knees spread and in the wrestling move, which sounded like pretty much what you do. I have noticed myself sitting with crossed ankles occassionally and your analysis as to why feels spot on, as it's usually been in situations with some anxiety or cautiousness. Thanks for the video. A few more body language videos wouldn't be nice (edit: of course I mean *would* be nice :). I've read on the topic before, but it's nice to be reminded of once in a while and you explain it in a clear, concise way. The whole concept of "controlling the message" is fantastic and your earlier videos where you've discussed this concept has also been great.

I personally prefer the leg-over-leg position, especially in more serious/adult conversation, considering I'm a teenager. With people my age I tend to spread but with adults I tend to cross. I find it more elegant and sometimes more comfortable. Maybe is because I've always seen my dad sitting like that and I've grown up to imitate him, but normally the educated, middle and higher class British people, like my dad, tend to sit like that. I guess the important thing is to find yourself comfortable

I disagree on the leg over leg. If u look at at powerful figure heads (presidents, pm's, military leaders, and CEO), the leg over leg is one of the most common leg position - especially when they are being interviewed. It shows a sign of confidence and power, making them seem in control of the conversation.

He told me this was for grown ups and told me that the figure four leg lock would be proper. He owned his own construction company and always dressed to the nines.

Happy weekend team Antonio! Two things.. 1. I loved that pocket square. Did you get it at bows and ties? 2. Body language videos are an excellent idea. I'd like to see you do one on "what to do with your hands." I often have to consciously remind myself that putting my hands into my pockets when speaking to people to in public may project an image of timidness or self consciousness and honestly for me it just makes me feel like I look less aloof. I also cross my arms a lot but again that comes across as "closing myself off." Would love to hear your take on it.

Well in Europe the "European leg cross position" is very common, you practically can not walk into a room without seeing at least 2 persons sitting with their legs crossed like that. So in Europe we don't really mind this position at all, in some places it's not even classed as being "closed for business" but the other way around, it shows that you are interested and listening, and you are relaxed in the conversation. If however you were to sit with your legs open and your back tilted forwards like in north America it can give of the signal that you are stressed and out of patience. Great vid btw!

Some people view the legs crossed where the ankle touches the knee as the seated equivalent to the "arms crossed at the chest" standing position - guarded and possibly insecure at least, and lying to you or hiding something from you at worst. In other words "I'm creating this barrier that is a space keeping you on the outside and me on the inside." Body language is a truly fascinating thing, mostly because it is open to so much interpretation. What is considered "normal" in the US, for example, might not be considered the same way in a different country.

I am confident in my masculinity so how I cross my legs or what color shirt I wear does not make me feel feminine. Leg over leg I actually think looks more elegant. How you hold your arms and hands makes a difference as well.

Yes, but part of the reason for the "wider leg crosses" is shifting weight off the normal bottom and get some relief and also the hip muscles get to open/ stretch a bit. Anyone who has tried a butterfly stretch in yoga or other leg stretch exercises will tell you how much that helps relieve stress from the legs/ body. So at times the body might be trying to do some of that.

Great video! Ankle over ankle is the dead man position; when a person is killed while standing, the fall results in the ankle crossed position. The problem with doing it deliberately or from habit is with the subconscious mind. It is a body language signal to that part of the mind that you are not mentally present in the moment. You are not alive in the moment. Professional fighters sometimes fall with crossed ankles. Law enforcement is usually aware of the crossed ankles effect. Yes, do body language videos.

I used to sit in the European leg cross during elementary, but during middle school I got really self-aware of myself and switched to the figure four leg lock. I felt a little feminine doing the leg over leg cross.

I come from Germany and here the Leg-over-Leg position is very common and is by far not seen in the same way as apparently in America. Even at business meetings it is allowed to sit like this. This is not seen here as a defensive position or retreat. Especially since the position - for me - is very comfortable. If I sit in an armchair and drink my whisky or sit in a café then I can sit like that. Especially when sitting at a table, you should never sit in the Four Leg Lock position because the knee is much too high. And the knee should never be higher than the table top. Privately I can still sit like this, but in the business area it is a No Go.

Leg over leg is also known as the European sitting position because they are taught manners and etiquette, and this is the way a gentleman ready to have an adult conversation would sit. Hand on the lap as at rest. I didn’t know this before as I just sat this way because it comfortable, but it definitely gets you weird looks but at the same time respect as people can tell you are sure of yourself sitting that position.

Ankle to knee. that's how a man crosses his legs. I learned that from my father at a young age. He is from the days when men were men and not manginas.

Body language videos are great. Figure four hurts my knees. I do the European. It puts the least amount of stress on my knee. It is casual for sure and i do not sit like that at work, meetings or interviews. John Wayne sits like that and so does Clint Eastwood. Im just saying.....

How much more anxiety do you want to add to a persons life ? Now you have to be concerned with the way you sit and stress about if someone judges you over another thing ? No thank you... Your're not helping but hurting people with such videos. The right way to sit is the way you like to sit, period. Don't worry about it.

So interesting, I've actually thought of this but had never heard or read anything about it. I sometimes find sitting with my legs open to be somewhat vulgar or loose, too informal but it's by far the most comfortable. I also have a habit of sitting with my feet out with my ankles crossed but it's certainly a comfort thing and I became conscious of this topic when I noticed I have a weird habit of sitting at a desk with my soles of my feet facing each other, almost as if my feet are resting on the outside of my ankles and wondered if that looks strange or weak to anywhere who noticed. I work in the health sector in the mental health field. I have clients who are either disabled or have severe mental illness and my body language is crucial in building trust and rapport, conversely when I liaise with other professionals, my boss's, co-ordinators, clients family members and stakeholders, my credibility is paramount to me being given and sustaining work and my body language and the way I am perceived is a major part of that. I'm always conscious of my tone of voice, facial expressions and mannerisms and largely, my sitting body language since all of our meetings are sitting down. This was a great topic, I also appreciated the reference to being an asshole in public and not taking up too much room in regards to the elderly or a pregnant woman.

I'm late to the convo, but I find that a "reverse figure 4" where one ankle is crossed UNDER my other leg is comfortable. Also I've been trying to avoid sitting in favor of deep squatting.
