Detailed explanation-1: -Women might be better at reading body language because more of their brain is active when they evaluate others’ behavior. MRI scans reveal that women have 14 to 16 active brain areas while evaluating others, whereas men only have 4 to 6 active.
Detailed explanation-2: -“Women tend to use more head motion, facial expressions, and voice inflections to show engagement in conversation. Men tend to talk with their hands more.” “Men nod to show agreement. Women nod to show they’re listening.”
Detailed explanation-3: -Several meta-analyses on gender differences in nonverbal decoding have shown that women are superior in decoding emotions than are men [16, 17, 18]. Of the studies included in these meta-analyses, 80% show a female advantage, although differences were small to moderate.
Detailed explanation-4: -Men and women give off different body language signals. Men don’t share as many facial expressions or reactions as women. Men frown or squint more when listening and don’t provide as much eye contact, while women have more face-to-face contact.
