Men with Hands on Hips??

The only time I have seen my husband stood with his hands on his hips was if our son had been naughty and he had to tell him off.He used to gather himself up and lean over David ,he hated having to do it.Not that I discriminate at all most men who stand with their hands on hips are usually sweet.That is a sign to other sweet men and warn the girls off.

I don't think it is a bad habit and a womanly habit!!! There are many men who do this and I don't feel it odd. Similarly I've heard many commenting on guys who cross their legs, that they are sitting like women. But again, I don't feel there is any norm that says women and men must have different ways of sitting and standing!!!

I think they are a little strange but so are we all all the best urban

I used to like to have my hands in my hip when I stand up. Now, I grew up and I change my habit a bit. I like to have hands cross whenever I stand up, or have my hands behind my back. Maybe that was how I got affected at my workplace. Most people would do the same, and I also have to follow the same style.

I could not agree to it totally. My hubby used to have hands in hips but it is in one side. But it looks so manly. I don't think it would not for both hands. Crossing legs in both gender looks great in my view. But sometimes it looks odd.

So what if they do? It doesn't matter anyways. let us just accept people of who and what they are.

If you study body language it can be noted that a hands on the hip stance shows the person is open yet being dominant and powerful. This is certainly not a feminine look by any means, except maybe when a woman is taking a stand against another person. If I see a man with his leg crossed over the other at the thigh I worry he might be squashing his bits, he looks uncomfortable as if he needs to go pee or something. To me, men look more comfortable if they sit with their ankle on top of the other leg at the knee. Women in short skirts should never cross their legs and women should never sit like men tend to with their legs wide apart. It's about body language and in the case of the latter, extreme body language...lol. If I'm reading body language, am I also stereotyping? When I was growing up, girls were taught to behave like ladies in a demure way. This was a direct contradiction of the changing times when women were being more involved with sports and the changing fashion where it was becoming accepted that there were times when trousers for women were quite appropriate. The feminist era began quite some time before I was born but a lot of the old values regarding men and women and dress and behaviour were still very prominent.

I have heard this thing also, and I think is kind of a cultural thing, standing with the hands on hips, may not be seen so wrong here in Latin America, and in the US is another story. Stereotypes always leads to prejudice, and this, to take us apart from certain people, we don´t think that "fits" with us, and, this is something not easy to avoid, I think that all of us has some type of prejudice, of some kind, yet, we do not have to allow this to apart us from other human beings.

I think it should be natural .. people follow the fashion and it can affect humans. But takoje can be and to genetics ...

I hate being stereotypes so i don't stereotype people also.....

The posture really very intriguing to look at. In my own notion, hands on hips shows his / her authority to something. In some point, some people feel comfortable to do it.
