Never put your hands in your pockets or else a ninja will chop them off.

Munger, great fucking idea, and JB, gonna have to kinda agree. Hands-in-your-pockets look is fine when you're not flirting with girls and whatnot. It may look kinda weak and whatnot but to be honest, NO ONE but us thinks about that kinda shit.

never do anything dirty with any bodily fluid haha. or solid. or gas. if you feel like u needa munt a little bit, don't sit there thinking 'naaa i can hold it in' cause this is what will happen Bob - *i can hold it in, i can hold it in, just relax* Babe - HEYYY WATSUP!!! Bob - AYYY NOT MUCH BA... *PROJECTILEEEEEEEE* Yeee... and munt outside in private. Don't announce it to anyone for a communal munt session, no 'just gotta say hi to this kid real quick', no nothing, first priority is just to slip away and projectile that goon sack. When your pissed and you need to munt, you can't be fucked and you just want to munt. But WAIT, before we commence with projectile muntage, make sure you don't hit your fluro pink furry sombrero hat, astro boots or any other items of clothing. Make sure that bush your about to flood isn't anyones prized orchids. After you munt you should be ok to game again if your still keen, just wash your mouth out, tic tacs. Haha, it's been done before. But looking back that was kind of dirty of me. So maybe just chill with your boys that night hahahahaha That is all on the science of executing a successful munt hahaha. Sounds kind like common sense, but so many stupid assholes fuck up nights by munting onto people and shit like that. Leave for awhile if you even kind-of think you need to munt. Another thing, don't munt into sinks. It seems like something that you wouldn't mind doing at your own house, but that is not your house haha. Go outside. Party on peopleeeeeee

I'm gonna have to agree with grape here. Never fucking do that. Instead don't put your hands in your back pockets or you'll still look stupid, put your thumbs in your back pockets like they're hooked on. Just leave them there it looks natural and kinda cool. Another thing you can Do is put your arms by your sides and then lightly touching your index finger and your middle finger together. It works, trust me.

I find myself not putting my hands in my pockets as much. But it gets awkward sometimes, so I just cross my arms. I feel like when you put your hands in your pockets, you're just...submitting.

Isn't crossing your arms showing that you are unwilling to talk/or are shy/lacking confidence?
At least, that's what I always thought.

I put my hands in my pockets all the time, never really all the way. I would put my thumbs in or leave my thumbs out. Depends on why my hands are in my pocket. I actually use things like that to show who I'm talking to my feelings about the conversation. If I'm enjoying it, my hands are out and are expressive, if I'm about to excuse myself or just not digging it anymore, the hands go into my pockets.
They tend to try harder when I lower my energy level from where it was previously at.
Other than that, I haven't really seen much of a difference in success whether my hands were in my pocket or not. If for some reason it is a rare day when I am just comfortable having my hands in my pockets I am just as well received as when I don't stuff my hands in my pockets. There's a way to do it and just come off as relaxed.
Personally, I think this is just nitpicking and is not all that important. Nobody is going to open a girl with their hands in their pockets and they'll only go into the pocket once the first impression stage is over, 9/10.
If you're caring about this and that and this and that you'll never be able to just "be". If you're becoming more confident, hands leaving the pocket will be a natural occurrence and I don't think it is something that needs to be highlighted in body language, unlike good posture or slower walking.

Okay so from everything I've recently studied in body language and gut instinct, this is not something that is that bad. It shows apprehensiveness and uneasiness if the person isn't doing it by habit. 90% of the time it's a habit.
This is simple; it's overanalyzation. In the same way PUAs overanalyze women.

Ari Gold: Why do you think it became a habit? Because of constant apprehensiveness and uneasiness. Habits don't just pop up, they're built, so to speak.
Only put your hands in your pockets if it's like really comfortable. I have these jeans with really big, loose pockets. It's just nice. When you're talking, always make gestures. It breathes life into the convo, it makes people look at you, because you aren't just standing and talking. You want people to think you're interesting, but if you're just standing still, you might aswell be a robot.

I agree that RELYING on putting your hands in your pockets is bad. You should switch it up, and honestly the best way is to kino if you get bored, if you even have the urge to stick you hands in your pockets, raise your hands and do a mannerism to emphasis how much you like that topic, and lead into kino, if kino is your thing, some guys do just fine without it.

Putting ur hands in ur pockets has nothing to do and doesnt affect ur game at all. the moment u think about weather its the rite thing to do is the moment uv lost the plot. put ur hand on ur crotch if u wana it doesnt effect how u feel on the inside
