We talk a lot about nonverbal communicating such as how we walk, stand, and make eye contact. In this video men’s style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM https://iamalpham.com/ AaronMarino https://aaronmarino.com/ Pete & Pedro https://peteandpedro.com/ Tiege Hanley https://www.tiege.com/and ENEMY https://enemy.com/ says another important part of nonverbal communicating is how you use your hands. These hand gestures can make the difference between charismatic and boring.
Rules to Attractive Hand Communication
- Speed and tempo of speaking and hand gestures should match
- Hand communication zone should remain in the hand talking bubble: chest, waist, shoulders, and inside your personal space.
- Your fingers shouldn’t be stiff and robotic. Stay loose and limber.
- Make sure you hand movements are casual, and fluid — not fast and jerky.
- Always wear a watch — it draws attention to your hand gestures.

Most Attractive {and Unattractive} Hand Gestures
- Single fist hand pump — signifies encouragement
- Finger pointing — be careful with this one because it can look accusatory or scolding. Use it to say they’re awesome to be positive.
- Single hand clap — it signifies power and strength. It can also wake up people, have them pay attention to you, and you are the man.
- The teepee — signifies that someone knows what they’re talking about (aka expert)
- The U — it goes outside the bubble, but it brings them in, let’s them know they’re special, and that they’re valued.
- Angled hands, fingers open (but not spread), palms somewhat up — signifies being open and honest. Palms totally up with fingers spread wide signifies pleading and begging.
- Upside down hand is not attractive because it’s demeaning saying you are dominate.
- Kung Fu — you look stiff and robotic rather than warm and friendly.
