Does body language really matter in a man-woman situation?
They say that women are usually quick to judge others because they can read body language better. I do not know whether this is true or not and maybe I can use this to my advantage.

Absolutely true. The thing called 'womans intuition' is an example of genetic wiring, or programming. Women traditionally raise the young. A baby has, initially no linguistic capabilities at all. The mother is 'tuned' to read it's needs and emotions by observation. Can instantly see if the infant is in pain or need etc. By 'traditionally' I don't mean 100 years ago, I'm talking cave-men. So it's not voodoo, and a million years or so of evolution still exerts a very strong pull. Using it to advantage is a partly a matter of making observations and acting on them, before they are explicitly defined by language. Which will endow you with a sort of 'supernatural gift' to someone who is less aware of their existence. Men can be observant too. The whole race is wired to make a split-second decision when looking at the face of another human. The decision is 'Are you a friend...or foe? Will you hurt me or help me?' It's strong...our life could depend on it in the stone-age! The most powerful way of using body language yourself is to understand the visual signs that will (even if he's not aware of the fact himself) send him 'messages' and which he will (completely unconciously) react to. Now, you either deliberately force these 'signals' in yourself, or amplify/accentuate them. Do these two effectively and another psychological phenomenon comes to your assistance. 'Halo Effect'. You're proved correct, you appear unbelievably clever and intuitive time and time again. So you must be clever and correct about everything else, right?? Your halo appears. No one questions you. If knowledge is power...you're practically a goddess! This is why it's powerful. Now in best Karl Marx tradition, I've blown it all working against anyone who reads this. Bugger!

Yes, it does. People, especially women, are designed to pick up non-verbal cues which can alert them of what a person truly feels. Call it woman’s intuition but they can pick up on these whether you are lying, concealing or just exhibiting <a href="[Link](Mouse over link to see full location) body language</a> .

Some people are better at reading body language than others. Women are, generally speaking, better at reading body language then men are.
But that doesn't mean women are quicker to judge. That's just silly. All it means is they are listening to more than what is being said to them.
What it does mean is that when you talk to someone, anyone, you should be aware of both what your words are telling them, and what your tone, body and movements are telling them. Everyone, men, women children and even animals, are listening to far more than just what you say.
