Observations in the Mall-how one walks with the opposite sex.

[Parker]

I was at the Mall yesterday, with a a former significant other. I was helping her pick out glasses. Well, as we were walking, it was side by side, talking, laughing, etc. As she was being helped, I sat down and  noticed (it was about an hour) probably about 30 couples, various races, ages, etc, go by.  And my question is this:

What do you percieve when the woman is walking ahead of the man, even when talking to him?
What do you percieve when the man is walking in ahead of woman?

And by these observations, can one gauge the intimacy level or the closeness and strength of the relationship? Or who is dominant one?

Your thoughts?

could just be Type A and type B people together.  Anyone who is walking ahead is usually there for the purpose... the other is just putting up with the BS

Im all for anazlying people but man you are just trying to hard.
You can learn a lot more from watching them interact, and theyre body language.
Youre just going nuts trying to analze the way they walk.

Maybe they are in a rush or something. I doubt it means much tbh

the person walking ahead doesn't want to be seen with the other person

One thing I've noticed (in myself as well as others): men who walk/stand behind their woman usually look more at other women. being behind your woman's field of vision gives the freedom to do that.

You’re a severely confused *man*. Truly lost.

Well sometimes it's a big, brown dick with a white collar business criminal asshole sucking on the wet end of it.

Im friends with her. And she respects my opinion.  Don't know about you and your former significant others, but I'm friends with all of mine---cause I'm cool like that...

not "trying too hard", I notice their interactions with one another. But you know in some cultures like some Indian (dot), the woman walks behind the man, means he is the Dom one and she is the sub one.

It was midday and nobody was rushing,

and the few times I was walking ahead, I was checking out other women....the few times I was ahead.
Now, I had noticed the couples because, I was waiting for her to do what she had to do with the person helping her. So I sat and observed.

[Thin Lizzy]

Im friends with her.

Outed

Outed

Yeah, damn...I gotta piss her off, somehow...

If the guy is trailing, it's because he's been mall shopping for over 20 minutes and has reached his mall saturation point.  His eyes are glazed over and he has no spark of life remaining.  If he's ahead, it's because the next destination is the parking lot and freedom.  I hate the mall.

I hate the mall too, sometimes. But, other times, I view the mall like a male lion does when he is prowling on the Serengeti plains..."is it slim pickings or full of prey?", and the food court is like a "watering hole" of sorts. Women have their guard down, when on the phone-walking, buying things (confused and asking for your opinion), and at the food court (she doesn't notice the croc....)

But, being a former Mall rat, Gap and Footlocker employee, when I go to Mall, I get what I want, and bounce...

Ya, I'm a surgical strike shopper.  My ex was a meanderer.  Tension.

Mall opens up at 10? Roll in get what you want, when you want, and the employees tend to be slightly nicer---their day just began.

I have a good laugh watching these loser husbands dragging six bags of shopping while their wives walk a good 10 paces infront of them spending all their money and running up their credit cards. No one has balls and or respect anymore.

[Parker]

OUTED!!!!!

Back in my college days, I worked there and got some good trim from there. This was before the twink era. And Footlocker as well---you have to bring 5 things to the customer, so you learn how to hook up a tennis outfit for a chick---and get the digits as well, if you do a good job. One dude who looked like Ginuwine, got a girl's number right in front of her man--(in case she needed to return items, and left a smiley face)

hey, at least you know I know how to dress and I'm not ugly---they don't hire those people at the gap.

my 2 cents;

the person walking in front, is there for a reason..
the person walking in back, has been forced or just doesn't really want to be there in the first place

Good call, from experience?
