'''Gait''' is a person's manner of walking. How attractive a man's gait is depends on many factors the most important being generally/sexually attractive armpit odor, technique, shoulder width, forearm length, torso length, height, upright posture, physical strength, emotional state, intentions, and rhythm. When the viewer is watching the walker from the front or behind, the more exaggerated these traits, the more attractive as well as higher status the walker is perceived to be from gait alone. However, a comparatively more "averaged" body morphology and comparatively more "neutral" gait, is seen as most attractive when the walker is viewed from the side. Suggesting a man should "swagger" only when the girl he likes is in front or behind him. Also women more than men 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 enhances 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.

Studies on gait and attractiveness using motion capture technology, show the most attractive male gait when viewed from the front or behind, advertises a combination of vigor, power, and determination.<ref>https://s3.amazonaws.com/academia.edu.documents/30797311/IGSN_Troje2003.pdf?response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3DCat_walk_and_western_hero_motion_is_expr.pdf&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAIWOWYYGZ2Y53UL3A%2F20200119%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20200119T182323Z&X-Amz-Expires=3600&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=7fef0fe16bd57b81399c879cb67a705b84922a08b044f9fd5377aa21c1a0d26b</ref> The motion capture technology used at the Bio Motion Lab, shows attractive male gaits have 3 key things in common<ref>https://www.biomotionlab.ca/</ref> 1. A perfectly upright to lean backed posture 2. One forearm swinging vigorously while the other remains nearly still. (see video below) This shifts most of the body's weight to one side forcing the person to have to slightly "bounce" on each step, creating a swaggering appearance.  3. the leg on the vigorous forearm side does not not bend at the knee, during extension and remains near stiff like a peg leg, while the other leg bends at the knee during the extension and extends further than the stiff leg.
