I posted this already but noone answered and I need some feedback. What are some things that diferentiate between men and women when it comes to the use and interpretation of nonverbal cues?
So far I've gotten:
women roll their eyes
A handshake between men means something about the type of man they are
Women expect men to know what their nonverbal cues mean
Men are more likely to flag down a waiter
anything to add?
Are you just wanting stereotypes?

So far I've gotten:
women roll their eyes I don't do this.
A handshake between men means something about the type of man they are When I shake a man's hand, it says something to me about what type of man they are.
Women expect men to know what their nonverbal cues mean That's just not true, either.
Men are more likely to flag down a waiter If I need a waiter, I don't need someone else's dinner to be stopped to do it for me.
anything to add?
no, and these are not my oppinions, these are replies I've gotten from other people. I am looking for things you believe to be true, not stereotypes.

I already did this a couple weeks ago, and the post got deleted because it got stupid. The majority of women on here believe there are no differences between men and women.
Maybe it's not a majority thing which is why it's on the 'men' side of your list, but a handshake from a man or a woman can tell you a bit about them.
Women do seem to expect that men understand their verbal queues, but in my experience woman also tend to ignore men's non-verbal queues (double standard, perhaps?).
Men and women are different creatures for sure, but there are women who will do everything you can find on your 'men' list, and men who will do the things you get for your 'women' list. For me, it's hard to list out specifically when trying to think of it. Sorry I'm not much help.

Well this JMO on my relationship but... my husband is lazy! Yes he goes to work but when hes at home his ass is planted in front of the tv. The lawn has needed to be mowed for weeks now and when I mentioned it today since he didnt have to go to work until noon he bit my head off. He has wanted a pool for awhile and we are talking about it. Well I brought up how much work a pool is and of course he had an excuse "the pool will be so much easier to take care of... blah blah blah" Yea It will be one more thing I have to take care of. Besides taking care of our house, bill, 4 kids basically everything but the grass and grilling, I also home school our 2 school age children AND I have had a head cold the past three days.... Thanks for a place to vent, I know it wasnt the right place but I feel a little better Ahhh.
I think men and women are very different. Women are very complex, men are simple. Yes, this is a general statement, and there certainly are exclusions to the group. It is acceptable and expected for a business man to be "forward" in approaching a group. When a woman does, she starts getting a reputation as being pushy, aggressive, even bit*^%. For a man they would just call it assertive.

They can flag down a waiter but they can't simply stop and ask for directions.(lol).
Women seem to get more disorders, like anxiety, panic,agoraphobia and social disorders.
We retain more information better.
We can hike up our dresses or skirts to get attention.LOL.
That's it for now.

I've never seen a guy roll his eyes...well over the age of 14, lol. Anyway, I don't expect my boyfriend to know what my nonverbal cues are. I tell him point blank what I feel and he tells me how he feels when he's ready. Because of his job we try to have verbal communication or I leave notes for him. Neither one of us has ever flagged down a waiter. He don't ask for directions though, but if we are going someplace far or new, he will mapquest it.
