How to Get a Job or Date Without Speaking

did you know that you can drastically. increase your chance of getting a date. or a job without even saying a. word hi I'm Katie from Rich Virginia. let's talk about. [Music]. that good mythical morning today's. episode is brought to you by smle makers. of musical apps including madpad you can. record sights and sounds using your. phone or iPad and then turn them into a. Audio Visual drum machine it's amazing.

download it today. sm.com there's been some research that's. been happening and as you mythical Beast. who watch Good Mythical Morning know. when research begins happening my ears. perk up we we happen along with it. research research we happen with. research I usually do that I'm do this. with my ears and say research. research and then it it's like the news. if you go.

just tell us about it I don't do that. but you tell me about it and I'll do the. news do it's already annoying but it'll. become more annoying if you continue to. do it thought it was awesome Amy cuy is. her name I like that name Amy cuy she's. a psychologist at Harvard University and. she has determined through a study and. some research. that posture is very important did you. know that link sit up a little bit hold. your channel up a little bit okay. posture is very important did you know. it's almost like a life hack or a brain.

hack meaning that you can actually. change the biochemistry of your brain. simply by your posture so I now now my. my nana would always tell me to sit up. straight she would always do that like. she'd poke me in the back and is she. psychologist no and she never said that. sit up straight I'm altering your body. chemistry or your brain chemistry boy. and then she slapped you right no she. Nana never slapped me my grandma slapped. me all the time no well you deserved it. Grandma's didn't slap you no but if she.

did I'm sure it would alter my body. chemistry so what if you have good. posture it gives you better body. chemistry is that what you're saying. well what I am saying is that okay there. are two there's a lot of chemicals in. your body but two of the chemicals in. your body are testosterone and cortisol. okay and if you have high levels of. usually leaders in fact people who. assume leadership positions increase. their levels of testosterone this is. male or female and they lower their.

cortisol levels your cortisol is like. your stress hormone so so people who. maybe are you know getting beat down all. the time and having to do work for. somebody they might have low. testosterone and high cortisol because. they're kind of stressed out but you. actually alter your body chemistry when. you assume a position like in the. workplace or in the world but this uh. lady Amy cudy she actually determined. that putting your body into a position. that makes you bigger which is usually. perceived as more confident.

you know more in command as opposed to. one where you're kind of like you're. kind of down here and you're kind of. defeated and you're you're holding. yourself in putting yourself in that. position actually temporarily increases. your testosterone levels and lowers your. cortisol levels and makes you a more. effective leader makes you more. confident now I know that you know I've. heard a lot about body language that. body language ex can exude confidence. did your grandma tell you this well like. if you sit like this it means what if. and you're listening to someone it means. you're kind of closed off to their point. yeah and if you and if you're like this.

and if you go like this when they're. talking to you it's like keep speaking. to me yeah I'm taking it all in and if. you lean in say if you're at a if you're. at a meeting and you don't just if you. sit like this it's just like okay just. give it give me what I got coming but if. you're like this you're like I'm taking. what I want you know there's body. language can exude confidence and power. or the opposite and most people that's. not exactly what we're talking about. here because most people assume that if. you've got the right levels or you're.

the right kind of person genetically or. whatever you've got your mind right then. you're going to go in and you're gonna. hold your body in the right way you're. going to exude confidence because of who. you are that is partially true but this. study is actually saying you can trick. yourself what was the test what she did. is she got a bunch of she got a bunch of. participants the people in the. experiment okay she divided them up in. two and she got them to give a. presentation to a panel of judges and. this panel of Judges did not know what. they were anything about what the.

experiment was they were just there to. watch the people do a presentation she. got half of them to for a few minutes. before the presentation to stand in very. confident like the Superman pose you. know he stands like that for a reason. he's trying to lower his cortisol and. raise his testosterone so he didn't know. that he's just super yeah he's also. super but they got people to she got. people to stand in this position for a. few minutes and then she got people to. like do very like defeated like making. themselves smaller it's actually how big.

you make yourself the key to this is it. makes you as big as you possibly could. be and when you kind of get down like. this and you hunch over and you bring. everything and you cross your legs. you're making yourself smaller and then. and they did this before giving the. present before the presentation and then. during the presentation they didn't do. anything in particular they didn't they. weren't focusing on posture at all but. then she surveyed the panel of judges. and it was very very noticeable. correlation that the people who had made. the super posture before the. presentation were perceived as much more. confident and in control and in command.

so let's apply this to our own lives. this is fascinating I must say this is. fascinating now there's old studies they. discovered a long time ago that you can. actually trick yourself into being happy. by simply making a happy face like if. you are sad and you just can force. yourself to. smile you can actually make yourself. happy that put on a happy face is. actually a scientific thing but putting. on a confident. posture is also has the same effect. before going into something so and also.

you know and while you're in something. obviously if it applies before it also. applies during so you should carry. yourself in a confident posture if. you're trying to get something across. but it you you can prep yourself for. certain situations as they did so let's. let's talk about some of these. situations that might help out some of. the mythical Beast viewers out there. well if you're applying for a job. anytime soon maybe you've been out of. work for a while and you go to job. interviews and none you're not alone. none of them are going well it's it's.

not you it's the economy don't blame. yourself starting that day I would say. what one of the things I'm going to. start doing I'm not looking for a job. well actually I am looking for a job but. we can talk about that later oh um if I. were looking for a job from the very. beginning when I got in the shower that. day I would bathe in the Superman post. be like rubbing soap or alofa I don't. use use a loofah let's not let's not. share that you know I would bathe. everything I would shampoo and I be as. big as I could I'm a big man already but.

I would be bigger than I possibly. probably wouldn't fit in your shower I. mean just from the and then I would walk. to my car like robocup you know and then. I would get in and I would drive drop. it I would drive very confidently to the. interview and then I would now then once. you get into a public Arena you can't. walk in like you can't look here comes. RoboCop don't give that guy the job. because if you're looking if you look. too confident unless you're applying to. be RoboCop well this will help if you're. applying to be. RoboCop I'm talking to you.

drop it anyway so when you get to the. job interview and you're in the waiting. room they're in the waiting first of all. I would say in the waiting room sit. don't look too overconfident because. that's going to be a turn off but be as. big and as relaxed and make your body as. big as you possibly can don't put your. feet up on the coffee table though in. the live in the they they'll never hire. you then I would say I'm next I'm going. to be interviewed next for the job that. you're not going to get go to the. bathroom get in a stall use it if you.

have to but then just stand in a super. powerful pose for like 3 or 4 minutes. and then come out and be like well I. guess you had to take a dump before the. interview you don't want to see you. don't want to see him go see you go in. there for that long because that. definitely means you were taking a dump. if you're going for like well everyone. does that right I mean you evacuate you. evacuate before the interview no we all. do number two but then you come out and. you'll actually bring more confidence. into the interview and it will be. perceived by the person who's. interviewing you okay so you're you're. public place you see somebody that.

you're interested in dating you're. supposed to just kind. of just pose up no okay let's and then. kind of lock eyes let's say there's. somebody build up the testosterone. there's somebody that you're interested. in and you want to call them on the. phone drop it first of all stand like. Superman if you want to date someone. don't say drop it while speaking on the. phone before you call them get into the. superose or if you're going to break up. with somebody then yeah yeah you but but. what happens is natural tendency is when.

you're encountering things in life that. are intimidating depending on what kind. of person you are you kind of tend to. sort of like oh I've got to call it I've. got to call her and break up with her. and I or I got to call her and ask her. out on a date and I or ask her out on. another date and and tell her I had a. good time the other night and you start. getting small and but if you're like I'm. going to call this woman tell her I had. a good time and ask her for another date. but then you have to drop that accent. before you begin speaking cuz she's just. going to think you're a complete jerk if. you speak like that you're kind of a. tool you definitely sound like a tool.

but you can keep the posture because. you're on the phone and then in in in. real life if you just begin to make a. practice of keeping your shoulders back. keeping your chin up and when you're in. public you just spread out a little bit. relax a little bit not in a. disrespectful way but just make yourself. as big as possible don't don't focus on. always being so small and because that. actually will have a has a compounding. effect on on who you are h i I remember. when we were in Middle School the guys.

you know the guys would always like. throw their leg up and just be real cool. and I remember one day all the teachers. got together and said we have to have a. meeting and they told us cuz remember. all the boys would wear these big baggy. soccer shorts called umbros umbros and I. remember the teacher saying what are you. going with this I remember the teacher. saying when you prop your legs up and. stuff like that when I'm teaching you I. don't think they use these words but. they said I we can we can see your junk.

what that's what they told us using. different words which are probably more. proper for teachers to use but they said. if you're going to wear big baggy shorts. don't don't prop your legs up so that's. my word of caution take up more space to. increase your testosterone in order to. perform better in a leadership mentality. but don't let t-shirt teachers look up. your shorts I think you just don't wear. umbros unless you're actually out there. playing soccer yeah don't maybe they're. coming back though fashion I'm just.

looking out for the the kids out there. let's end this episode don't show. teachers your. junk I'm going to end in the best POS. possible posture I. can blink how are we going to end this. episode I don't know but we're going to. do it with confidence and now we're. going to try to out testosterone on each. other is that what we're doing yeah. we're going to be working all day just. kind of looking at each other in the. hero I think I'm winning breath hold. contest now I know you're at this than. me but we'll have to fast forward.

because you can hold your breath a long. time Jason you say go when you're ready. do a 3 2 1 go 3 2 1. [Music]. go I breathed in too deeply and it's. something hurting my chest I'm out. [Music].

see you tomorrow.
