Does body language really affect girls?

It has been said that girls can read body language 10 times better than guys. do girls really notice or care about body language when they interact with guys?

yes, it makes a big difference in how I interact with the men around me. I can read their body language to see if I should joke with them, be extra nice to them, or make a move, etc. Guys might think they are hiding their true feelings by talking about other stuff and acting like they don't care, but I can read their body language to see what they are really thinking and feeling.

For example, my boss at work recently started standing quietly and clasping his hands in front of his crotch. I took that to mean that he took a blow to his manhood recently. Either he got rejected by a girl or he felt unmasculine for some reason and was "protecting" his privates. After I noticed him doing that, I was extra nice to him and made sure to not question his authority at work. So observing his body language defineately changed how I interacted with him.

I read body language to understand how to behave with the men around me. If I think they are being playful, I will play. If they look down and sad, I will be nice to them. If they want to prove their masculinity, I will praise them for doing something manly. I think relationships are complicated enough as it is; reading body language is just a tool to get the odds in our favor.

Actually when I'm talking to a guy I'm not really looking at their body language. I'm so distracted by the fact that he (if I like him) is actually talking to me. Either I'm looking in his eyes, or looking at the ground.

If I'm talking to a random person, or a friend, I realize I don't actually look at people when they talk to me. I look somewhere else... I have no idea where I'm actually looking, but I'm not paying attention to their body language at all; this is why I have so much trouble reading signs on whether a guy likes me or not.

I pay attention to body language when I talk to anyone since it's a pretty good indicator of whether someone's nervous, uncomfortable, etc. I can't say that I pay more attention to a guy's body language though, or that I use it to gauge their interest in me. But I tend to be oblivious when it comes to flirting, so that would explain a lot lol
