The basis of communication

The human being is filled with thoughts and feelings, wills and desires, delights and discomforts, needs and wants. Some of these are conscious, others are not.

The essence of communication is the transference of an idea from one place to another. From one person to another, from thoughts to paper and from the subconscious to the conscious (and many more). The human body is continuously communicating various messages between the limbs and organs.

Interpersonal communication is when a massage gets passed from one person to another. These messages are sometimes verbal, sometimes non verbal. Some will say that the majority of human communication is nonverbal.

Mixed messages

People become confused when the verbal and nonverbal messages don't match up with each other or worse, when they outright contradict each other. Being that actions speak louder than words, people are more likely to believe your actions - your nonverbal communication - and disbelieve your words. This is tolerable here and there but will certainly lead to a great deal of frustration if done regularly.

There are some cases where you're compelled by law to believe the words over the actions. For example - if her body language indicates a strong desire for sex but she says no, he'd be locked up for rape if he goes ahead with the sex. However, because of the mixed messages she's sending him, the relationship between the two will suffer a serious blow.

This natural confusion is multiplied by the fact that men are more likely to have false positives and women are more likely to have false negatives. In simple terms - a man is likely to think she's interested when she isn't (false positive) and a woman is likely to think he isn't interested when he really is (false negative).

Broadcasting to the world through clothing and demeanor

The type of clothing we wear, sends messages about ourselves to the world. Our facial expressions and body language does the same. These messages are broadcast whether we like them or not. Body language experts can often expose the true intentions that lays behind the lies and bluff.

Some clothing say - take me seriously. Some clothing say - take me sexually. Some clothing say - look here. Some clothing say - nothing to see here. Some clothing say - open for business. Some clothing say - I'm closed off. Oftentimes, there are several messages being broadcast simultaneously.

When a woman wears a push-up bra with a low cut shirt that accentuates her cleavage, that sends a loud message to the male gaze. It says look here buddy. Likewise with form fitting yoga pants that accentuate the butt. Likewise with many other articles of clothing and accessories that say - look here.

When a woman wears a short skirt or a button down shirt that's open down the middle, it sends a message that says - I want you to imagine what's beyond the curtain.

When a man wears a suit and tie with nice shoes, it sends a message that says - I'm a respectable person who's ready for business. Take me seriously.

When a man wears baggy pants halfway down his ass with a hoodie over his head and wabbels like a duck, it sends a message that says - I'm a lowlife and possibly a thug who has nothing real going on in his life.

It isn't politically correct to say these things but TRP is about seeking the truth even when uncomfortable. The truth is that your clothing and your body language broadcast messages to the world. Furthermore, you get to choose what to wear but you don't get to choose who will see you once you step outside. Therefore, if you aren't comfortable broadcasting [insert specific message here] to the whole entire world, perhaps it's time to broadcast a different message.

Conclusion

We can go on all day regarding specific clothing and demeanor and the messages they broadcast. The point is clear - clothing and demeanor broadcast things about you whether you like it or not, whether you're conscious of it or not.

If your words don't match the message being broadcast, it'll lead to confusion and frustration. If your words contradict the unspoken messages, it'll compound this confusion and frustration.

Send the message you want the whole world to see!

Cheers!
