Leaning forward during a conversation - Confused as to what it conveys (and other body language questions)

It’s just too intense. Leaning forward/looming over a woman can make her feel very vulnerable. A slight lean forward is okay, but make sure the rest of your posture is open and relaxed.

Walking behind a woman signifies submissiveness and a general lack of confidence. Walk directly beside her and simply glance sideways if you want to look at her.

Leaning in says "this is impressive and important to me" which can be great if she is already invested in you and what she's talking about is genuinely interesting. Giving validation is a good thing if you've already demonstrated value, because it shows that you're human, not snobby or narcissistic.

Like anything else, whether or not it comes off as submissive or supplicative behavior depends on context. Is she telling you the story of how her pirate great great grandfather single-handedly sunk the Royal Admiral's galleon while fending off a kraken, or is she telling you about that bitch Mandy on insta the other day? Calibrate accordingly.

I lean in or breach the bubble all the time with women just to see if they're comfortable with me being so close.

Obviously, if they don't react repulsed and stand aside then that's a good thing and if I chose to pursue something then I can take that as a minor IOI.

I don't get where the "leaning in is a bad thing" idea comes from; I do that to listen better also so my advice to OP is continue doing what you're doing. Nothing wrong with it.

I recommend leaning back and spreading out like you own the place,let her lean forward. I’ll lean forward if I’m interacting playing some sorta game where I gotta tough her over the table. Whoever is leaning in is showing they are more interested and invested in the interaction.

I wouldn’t lean in unless she’s leaning in to and your leaning into each other to get physical.

Leaning forward shows that you are too invested in the conversation. Leaning back conveys that you are more relaxed, even slightly bored. This results in the person at the other end feeling they need to impress you instead of you already being hooked.

Leaning forward, bending down to put your mouth to there ears(to talk during loud music/chatting) signals interest and lack of confidence. Your voice should be loud enough to convey your words and your stance not moving. This all signals confidence in yourself. I'm 5'11 and even short women will lean into me(if there interested) during loud music/talking. You really don't need to move yourself at all.
