Hi Preston, Great video as always. Off topic, I am wondering if the Fort Belvedere shadow stripe socks in the smallest size will fit women who wear a size 7 1/2 shoe? Thanks dear! Lisa
@@craft-o-matic2377 A small pair of Fort Belvedere socks fits men's shoe sizes 6-7.5 (US sizing), and a men's 6 fits a women's 7.5. You should be fine with a small pair of socks.
@@johnb4966 some people have immune conditions or care for someone who does and some people live in countries or regions that are still enforcing lockdowns.
@@jonahpeacock2561 here in italy, we think that it will might possible another lock down in the next weeks. Some little areas, mainly in the south, are arleady signed as red areas which they are now in lock down, so it could be possible.
I've found that exercise and manual labour makes my movements and body language more natural, especially when walking. So to everyone who finds that they look awkward when moving around, I suggest trying to either exercise or do some heavy work in the yard or something.
I would especially recommend making sure your upper back is in shape, be it through sports, work or specific training exercises. When the upper back muscles are in shape, proper posture comes naturally. Especially archery training helped me to adopt an open posture, whereas previously I had a natural tendency to walk somewhat hunched.
A further point about sitting with your legs crossed: remember how long your socks are. Flashing a length of hairy shin won't look good. Invest in knee-length socks for job interviews and other important occasions.
I appreciate the mentioning of disabilities and specifically autism in this video, I think it’s great that you include these things since they’re very important parts of some people’s lives (like me with ASD traits and scoliosis) !! Great video
As a person with autism myself, I want to say thank you for mentioning that people with autism need to find a peer to help them (if need be) on these social cues. There is one point of feedback though. People with autism follow different guidelines of social cues and that is untrainable. Mentoring would help but generalized situations often fall short on the reality for them. Its like we think we learn him to fish but instead he just got the fish to eat for that day... Just thought to chip than in as autism expert for those watching the video :)
Hello @Robert V. , I agree with you with most of what you say. I have also autism and as a young lad, I used to struggle very much with these things. However, as someone who got enough luck to have been trained and worked in the military prior to my diagnosis, I got the opportunity to be corrected on my posture and the aspects of body language dealt with in this video during that time. But true to say that more subtle cues are, unfortunately, difficult to understand... Or I understand through other things. So, anyhow, I still think that such video would be helpful for some of us. Even if we are all différent...
@Seaworth It is, though .Autism is a separate neurology which by definition affects both how we take in information and use it. Robert's commenting specifically that in situations that aren't one to one to a situation we have been taught a response to, we often do not consider them similar in the way a neurotypical person would and therefore won't apply a taught response to them. I have this issue somewhat regularly, even though I'm passable at masking. Scripting can help, but it's inauthentic and frankly stressful.
As I often say ... if you meet one person with ASD - you've met one person with autism. Everyone presents differently. There's a lot of high functioning autism (Aspergers) in my family. We can and have learned non-verbal communication, but it's conscious learning, and takes practice to get right. Having a few rules can get you started, but then there are all the exceptions, cultural differences, code switching ... these are important skills, and while not everyone can learn them, it's always worth the effort to try.
Well done, Sir. Your advice reminded me a lot of how I was taught to walk at New Mexico Military Institute, a military high school / college. Proper etiquette was very important there and I’m glad for it. I wish it were more widely taught.
Thanks for the video again, Rafael. In our culture, leg over leg is similar to man spread, as an impolite gesture which is sad because I really like to sit like this.
Totally random note, but I really love the fact that you choose Zodiac for the clip of phone hand gestures...such a great movie! Fantastic video as always, gents...I'm gonna start practicing on my walk now!
We love the effort and humor you put into your videos, and of course the reaction to your former self. Just filmed something similar... Are you still working with craftsmen clothing mostly?
This is a fantastic video! Well done mate, well done. I especially appreciate your honesty with your physical attributes that can effect the way people might move or interact. Food for thought when talking to others that might have such. I have personally focused on body language for 20 years and found this video to be spot on the money, I also noticed that I walk with fists and I will now adjust my walk. Thank you again gentleman, yours sincerely CJ.
These tips are great but I always forget them whenever I'm actually talking to someone and after the conversation ends I think about how I should've done it differently.
*t-poses aggressively with a vitriolic stare* I think i'm doing alright (honestly, thank you for explaining why i'm in constant pain and often ignored whenever i'm standing talking to people)
I’m from Brazil and, from personal preference, use in most cases the leg over leg, but is considerer a feminine way, most men use the figure-four. Ps: sorry for the mispeling
Thank you for your helpful instructions and guidance. I have a walking situation when I'm out with my wife. I think I'm polite by walking at her pace, but I feel that her much slower speed hampers me. I feel ungainly. I've noticed other men will not wait for their slower partners, especially when shopping. Advice please.
It's quite a distinguished video, but my question is, How to keep my hands while standing still or walking, I would be delighted to know. Sorry if it's wrong or weird I was just trying to be socialized...well that is what the book says 😅
As per usual, great video! One thought, however: leg- on- leg sitting, while polite, is not great for lower- body circulation, and can lead to varicose veins in the legs.
Having lived in some rough neighborhoods, I know that walking slow with your head down and your shoulders hunched communicates, victim here, come and get it! I always walk with purpose.
This has been a great 👍🏻 video because it touches on many aspects, even the disability aspect for many people... How about a video on how to act or conduct yourself when dealing with people with a disability ? 🤔 Could be physical or mental as U mentioned.. 👏🏻 👋🏻
When you are in a threatening situation and don’t feel secure walking with your fists clenched is a sign of physical strength and makes you appear to be a less vulnerable target .
@@MrBarnettcm i’am the size of a child nobody is intimidated by me 😂😂😵💫😵💫. It gives you a different perspective because you know the odds of you fighting your way out of a situation is limited and no I do no carry a gun 😂😂.
This video is pretty useful acting wise. I've been working on portraying a charismatic character and wanted to check my progress with this video. Turns out the only thing I need to work on is my standing 👍
I know a teenager (who was educated at a boxing gym where they were not allowed to put his hands in his pockets): he came home from school, stating he wasn't going to work with another boy at school and who kept his hand in his pocket while talking to him.
Never walk, jog, or run with your hands in pockets! I've restored several folks front teeth after they stumbled, tripped, and faceplanted. Nothing worse than reconstructing a smile, and supporting structures. Can be done, albeit, not as quickly or as fast as they were ruined. Just my $.02.
after i saw the first sitting position (having your leg opens too wide) i think im a little bit overconfident, lol. its nice i searched for this video, not only it allows me to know that i was wrong, but also allow me to be better.
Being an animator, I am particularly sensitive to body language and the ways people move. Working as an animation artist all my life has ironically also had the lamentable effect of promoting a hunched posture, as animators tend to lean into their work at their desks. Had I only listened to my beloved grandmother's advice to "Sit up/stand up straight" as a child...
One should be aware that crossing one's leg is deemed to be disrespectful in some cultures especially in the presence of your elders, the ones . who outrank you etc. Also excessive hand jestures may be perfectly okay for some cultures whereas in others it may also be deemed as offensive.
It's quite true that body language is more important than what is said. Being autistic has completely ruined my ability to work with others or be invited or included. When I was young, people would ask me why I was angry every time I was concentrating, even when I was quite happy.
I always wonder, do Preston and Sven Raphael both live in the USA? And is Preston american? I am not a native speaker, but his accent is so distinct and clear, which I think is very pleasant to listen to.
Nice to see Raphael sporting an Apple Watch. I love classic watches for the quality movements and style, but love the convenience and fitness aspects of the Apple Watch. I have brown and black leather bands to pair with my attire. I also use the analog style dials. Love the content. Keep the great videos coming!

Thank you once again dear Gents. I'm becoming a new man. People are already recognizing it through wardrobe and behavior. This is my favorite chanel.
Hahaha I love your eyes contact Preston at 2:57 😆😆😊😊 you’re the best actor 👍👍👍
Your voice is the clearest I've ever hear man

I am so tired of the 4 feet social distancing policy,,i am so looking forward to return to the 15 feet Norwegian standard 😎😀
This will be the first video that I will show my son when he is born.
This is such a lovely video that managed to explain expected social cues without being ableist or neurotypical about it. Bravo.
I greatly enjoy listening to your voice Preston, and I wish everyone spoke like you.
Love that at 1:17!! Ah oh, sh*t, not enough to pay for that meal...Great acting Raphael!
This video is so ridiculous well produced and the quality is absolutely amazing
I love the way you show what 'not to do' 😂 Preston is like a stuntman!

Preston, the man, the myth, the legend.
This was great video! Very educational and funny, I also appreciate the speaker bringing out tips for those struggling with a disabled. Excellent Job!
I have never thought about such simple things in such depth, awesome !!!
If I had Prestons ""staring face" as a large printout pinned over my bed I would need 1 instead of 7 alarms in the morning...
Yes, that one is awesome - being a good concert singer, he had to have something like this in his sleeve too.
He looked just like Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys.

Hand gestures... How much is to much?
Italians: YES
In Middle Eastern countries it’s considered very rude to show the soles of your shoes to others. So the 4 position would not be appropriate.
I know a teenager (who was educated at a boxing gym where they were not allowed to put his hands in his pockets): he came home from school, stating he wasn't going to work with another boy at school and who kept his hand in his pocket while talking to him.
