No, that is not a lean-in. As you can see, his attention is focused on something off-camera, not Melania.

He is relaxed and showing some affection to his wife who, as we saw in the previous shot, had in fact turned to kiss him while he just lounged there. The arm over the shoulder is likely not mate guarding in this situation. They are clearly relaxed and appear to be in some sort of relaxed and semi-intimate environment. In that case what you're seeing isn't some kind of mate guarding move it is simply a gesture of affection and masculine dominance.

I'm all for good body language but I have to say that some of the analysis of body language on this forum goes way too far. It can resemble micro-picking.

By that sort of logic, any time a man gets angry, stressed (often for good reason), or moves his shoulders a centimeter from the perfect upright position, he's a beta.

Frankly I wouldn't call it micro-picking, I'd simply call it a mistaken analysis that failed to properly identify the specific body language displayed and failed to properly account for context.

I'm pretty sure he was being facetious guys, lighten up and take a joke.

Yes, guys. Lighten up. Besides, Melania''s pointy elbows are digging into his torso, so that lean-in may in fact be a wince.

Good on them for dropping dead weight. No man should fuck below his capabilities.

I started the thread off with Nathan Lyon.

I didn't realize until recently how much attention back home has been paid to the woman he dumped. Ironically, her rage against him has made her slim down somewhat.

This is one of dozens of examples of the attention being paid to her over the last 12 months:

She recently decided to milk the cow further by courting media focus with her "one year anniversary" of him dumping her:

Whilst it's great for Nathan that he upgraded from this...



...to this...



...it's pathetic that a 2/10 WNB, now "improved" to a 3 or 3.5 WNB with a little weight loss, is being feted as some kind of media victim and darling.

These girls seriously can't lose. On the one hand, she snared a millionaire sportsman as a 2/10. On the other, when he dumped her, she got to keep the proceeds of his wealth via a multimillion-dollar home and now gets a side career as a jilted woman.
