'''Gait''' is a person's manner of walking. How attractive a man's gait is mostly depends on the width of the shoulders, as well as the forearms, also upright posture, and physical strength. The more exaggerated these traits the higher status the man is perceived to be from gait alone. Women more than men seem to discriminate between strong and weak walkers when assessing attractiveness of male gait.<ref>https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2017.01427/full</ref> Altering of the human [[femoid|female]] gait through use of high heels is also a female sexual strategy,<ref>https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2017.01875/full</ref> that likely enchances attractiveness through imitation of a lordotic (swayback) mating posture.<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40806-017-0123-7</ref> The same posing of the arched spine also makes [[twerk]]ing a sexually provocative dance. | '''Gait''' is a person's manner of walking.
