'''Gait''' is a person's manner of walking. How attractive a man's gait is depends on many important factors such as leg, feet, and spine bone straightness, 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 the walker is perceived to be from gait alone. However, when viewed from the side the exaggerated body morphology and exaggerated gait is perceived as less attractive, than a comparatively more "averaged" body morphology and comparatively more "neutral" gait, although much more intimidating and higher status. Suggesting men should only "swagger" when the girls we like are in front or behind us, and when rival males are looking at us from the side. 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.
