This was both an amusing and interesting post. There is some truth to it but given the date it was posted I wonder if it was a joke on some. https://whoareyoudating.wordpress.com/2015/04/01/if-confidence-power-how-do-i-get-some/

Restaurant bathrooms saw an uptick in people puffing their chests out and talking to themselves!

Tips to appear more powerful and confident
April 1, 2015 PsychCL

Confidence. People tend to equate it with power and ability. Both tend to be attractive qualities for people, at least in the short term.

So how do you show it when you don’t feel it? Well more recently in the psychological research literature, academics have been testing the idea of ‘fake it until you make it’. The idea is that if you pretend that you have it, eventually you will trick your brain (and others) into believing it.

A recent landmark experiment showed that if you do some power poses in the loo before a job interview – it seems to trick your brain into thinking that you are confident. This confidence comes across in your voice and posture and voila! you are perceived by the interviewer as being more confident and more ‘hireable’.

So our advice – give it a go on your dates. Here are the steps:

Strike a pose. High power = open and expansive.
Standing with chest puffed out and hands behind your head or on your hips.
Sitting upright with your chest open, shoulders back. Hands can be beside you or behind your head. Legs open. Take up as much space as you can.
Then think about your date and how well it is going to go.
Hold the pose (and the positive thoughts) for 7 minutes.
