Tall people walk faster naturally

Usually means you have a purpose and have things to do.

People that have nothing to do have no reason to walk fast.

Sometimes walking slow with confidence is the way to go especially at parties and The Mall.


For places like the mall and parties, ya wanna build up Social Momentum by just talking to the workers there or by joking around with your friends. That way you’ve got the social muscles and vibes working. I’d even do a few ‘ Catch and Release’ rituals when you’re out and about, People do it all the time in fishing to acknowledge The Universal abundance of God and his world, why not cold approach? Do it your first few sets, have fun, do whatever you want and ‘release’…it will give you a confident and not needy vibe.

I've heard this "walk fast = high status" theory. But I've also heard that the confident man uses slow, deliberate movements.
Sure, I suppose walking fast gives the impression you're busy, or in a rush. But honestly, using this as a strategy sounds like a bunch of BS to me.

Well I never saw John Wayne walk fast. If you walk to fast you'll look like you are holding in diarrhea.

Dude, actually this.
I know a business man, well respected, but He is very nervous and have this "keep it busy" attitude. Fast movements and walk like he's holding in diarrhea

confident man uses slow, deliberate movements.

I've never saw a Lion walking fast.. Did you?
Animal behaviour it's a suggestion

All this surface level pop psychology stuff about body language and other non verbal communication is largely nonsense from so called "experts" who just make shvt up. Something like confidence isn't so tangible to be tied to any one thing like where you put your arms or how fast you walk. If you're, confident your behavior will automatically reflect that, there's nothing you need to do.

The idea of "hacking" confidence is straight retarded. At best you can only fool a bunch of people that don't matter for a short period of time.

It doesn't matter if you walk fast or slow, you want to walk smoothly and with style.

Listen to the first 30 seconds of this song. How it makes you feel is how you want to walk.

It might make women more nervous if you walk behind them at that pace

In all seriousness though, I really wouldn't worry about that...it's unlikely to factor that into anyone's perception of higher status. In fact, hyper fixating on how you walk or the speed will possibly make you more nervous than anything.

As a woman, I will say that confidence does wonders! Focus on having a good posture, straighten your shoulders out, and maintain eye contact! I notice some guys tend to fidget a lot when they're nervous, like clenching their jaw or twisting their hands or rubbing their lips (it's not specific to gender, though). Stuff like that can be kind of off-putting, so if I were you I'd focus on maintaining a confident frame, with your movements being controlled and deliberate. Women do notice body language and we find it very attractive if you're projecting relaxed and assured vibes!

What if they're walking fast behind you and yelling loudly about God, Jesus and Hellfire?

Lol, that reminds me of a PUA article I read that said you should face your target with your palms out and facing the woman, like a religious figure. Because it shows that you were a giving person. Can you imagine someone actually doing this?

take a modeling class. will teach you how to stand/posture and other things about how to self present.

confidence will lead to a good walking style. a good walking style will not lead to confidence; usually.

the question becomes how to be confident, same as with many other topics. the root is confidence. confidence only comes from success, success comes from effort to do something well.
