How do you feel about this guy?
Truly curious about a specific aspect of this guy's body language.
However, before pointing it out, I'm truly curious:
How do you feel about this guy?
What strikes you most about him?
I feel slightly uncomfortable with his mannerism. For example, the upwardly tilted head as if he's looking down at you, and not smiling at all. Also he blinks a lot. I would say the most strange is his excessive mouth movement (tight mouth closing as well as sides going upwards showing potential disgust or discomfort). I don't really know what that is coming from.
He seems to know his content knowledge. If I were browsing just to check the content of the video, I probably wouldn't be too bothered by his body language and would still see if the content makes sense.
Thank you for sharing, Emily!
Happy to read some more thoughts (BTW, the first few seconds are enough, no need to watch the whole thing).
I think he has a bit of a jittery/shaky body language and is a bit salesy.
I think he's not very comfortable doing these videos.
Man, let me tell you I'm terrible at this game :D It's a good exercise, though. Let's play lol
Yes, I'm with Emily. Not only upwards, but also backwards. Sometimes I get the impression that he is trying to smile - perhaps even thinking that he's smiling - but can't bring himself to do it. It's weird how he mostly looks sideways at the camera when speaking - as if he doesn't want to look at you directly.
Sometimes, though, I get the impression that he's not fully sold on what he's saying. He often "hides"/holds one of his hands with the other hand. Also in 0:55 when he enumerates he looks down as if he was trying to remember what he's supposed to say.
The video also rearely dwells long enough on the motorcycle to for us to evaluate the results in detail. He says "do this", then the camera zooms in for a fraction of second then jumps to the other thing. This coupled with my impressions of his body language makes me very wary of the whole thing.
Either he's not very friendly, or, as John says, doesn't want to be there doing whatever he is doing,
Thank you John and Kavalier, much appreciated.
I'll wait a bit longer if there's any other input and then I'll share what I was curious about.
I second Emily’s comments on his condescending demeanor (looking down on the viewer, masking anger).
In line with this, he’s also totally monotone and unemotional.
A person to stay away from for sure.
Thank you Bel!
Totally agree with jittery and salesy. He seems not relaxed by himself, but he is "trying" to make his audience relaxed and amused.

He's a bit uncalibrated here, but this is just one moment. Everyone misbehaves 🙂
I think he could have some good intentions there and misbehaviors in one isolated scenario cannot say too much about him as a person, as I usually assume positive things on a person first. He could be trying too hard doing his sales job, and is just too nervous.
Thank you for sharing MMC!
