Doesn't mean much in an online forum. But on the street is another story.

Also, you've got me wondering now what sort of "training" goes into noticing cues and body language.
Did you complete an interactive computer course?

 

Oh... I don't want to get into this again....but.....

Experience.
Experience teaches you.
Much like playing poker or even boxing/martial arts.
I'm sure LEO's go through courses, but experience is king.

I once told my wife, when visiting Gettysburg, where a certain couple were from and even what the profession was of the wife.
We were in a tour group with them, later.
I was mostly right.
I guessed NY, instead of New Jersey.

My experience ?
A bouncer, artist, somewhat of a mimic of comedians (their inflections/delivery), armchair psychologist, and doing my own social experiments.
It's fun to sit in a mall and deduce what people are talking about.

If we ever have a time to hang together, I can show you.
I've never met a stranger.
I guess maybe that's how I make up for my lack of political experience, when mingling with local government people.
