186.0. "WALK THIS WAY! TALK THIS WAY!.." by XCELR8::POLLITZ () Tue Nov 17 1987 07:31
WALKING:
( A DUMB QUESTION )
MEN : Study walking. Carefully. Do both sexes walk equally well?
Cite some possible general differences. With respect to
Social Classes ( ie Upper, Middle, Lower ) do you find a
difference in the Quality of the Walking Movements from
One Class to another ( or one sex to another ) and if so,
what do you think might account for those differences.
Which Class, if any, walks better.
Where in the mind are the motor connections that control
walking. Are there any anatomical differences that might
account for possible differences in the way the 2 sexes
walk, and if so to what extent might that difference affect
walk quality ( I don't see an anat. influence ).
Does good walking involve smooth, refined movements, along
with the putting of nominal stress/pressure on the joints.
I recall a recent Medical Report that found that Women on
average, put more stress on these joints than men. I don't
know what that stress difference between the sexes was.
How well do the sexes walk in relation to the other in
School grades 1 - 12. To what extent might muscular diff's
affect walk movements.
How much conscious thought is there to walking, and is
walking well a develped process,( ie a skill of sorts )?
Any intelligence connections in that mind area where the
Spark * to walk occurs, and if so, to what extent might that
I.C. influence that walk quality?
Just gimme a kiss..

| The only DUMB question is an unasked question. :')

I will take a gander at it to see just what you mean.

| THE 4 Books I suggest People look at are in 2.123.
It's not a Perfect list, the best works are the Dowling
and Eisler works, harder lines the other 2. Truth can be
Hard to face. I deeply apoligize to anyone I've confused,
hurt, angered, insulted, or worse. By the way, these 4 books
are written by brilliant Women. Women and Men *ARE* intelli-
gent, we just sometimes stray in Bizarre Ways. Don't We?

| Hi Russ,
I'm not sure if I understand your question but I have noticed that
people that have alot of self-confidence walk differently than people
with low self esteem.
Of course I have noticed that I have one walk when I wear high heels
and a straight skirt and I walk alittle differently when I wear
sneakers and jeans.
The point I'm trying to make is that not only are there psychological
differences that may account for the manner in which a person walks,
but the shoes and/or clothing that a person wears may also affect
the way a person walks.

The way people walk is partly dependent on their frame of mind
and attitude at the moment. That effects their posture. The overall
major contributing factors though, are the length of their legs vs their
over all height and where their center of gravity falls within the
person.
The only people that fall outside of this normal factor are those
that have acquired a learned walk (such as a model) or have acquired
one different from their natural walk with out realizing it. These
would include people into karate or dance. Both of these things
result in a unconscience difference in the way a person caries
themselves and walks.

| I didnt look back to see the 4 books mentioned aforehand, but one
I'd recommend about the strides and stances and what they mean is
called "Manwatching" and it's by Desmond Morris. I think he also
wrote another book about similar things, but I can't remember it's
title.

RE. .5
I read "Manwatching" and "Naked Ape" (both by Desmond Morris) a
few years ago. I want to acquire and read these books again, but
can't find them in the local bookstores (Marlboro, MA. area).
I think these are the best books on body language.
Does anybody know were to find these books?
Anybody know about other good books on Bodylanuage and Transactional
Analysis?

re .6
Both these books are freely available in the UK - so I suggest you
find someone who is coming over on business and ask them to pick
them up for you.
Alternatively, you could probably mail-order them on a VISA card
- if you're interested I will ask at my local bookshops if they
can do this.
