Is courtship one of the situations that is strongly influenced by nonverbal skills? A. Yes. In fact, early courtship is

9、almost entirely made up of nonverbal actions. Men and women unconsciously shrug their shoulders when they find each other attractive.

A man at a party or at a bar will stake out his territory by putting cigarettes or cash in front of him, to show females his status relative to other men.,31,to stak
