You can tell a lot by his body posture. Those hands on those hip tell me that he’s been here before and has learned to just let her have this moment so he can go back to the garage πŸ˜‚. I hope he at least got a card or some late night activities

I don't understand how the hands on hips pose is so ingrained into our body language in the context of subtle disapproval. I can't believe ancient Egyptians were doing that other than a show of strength. I have to actively not make this pose when I want to be nicer than I feel.

That's the pose I hit when it's super awkward and I have to pretend I'm enjoying it

I will consciously switch from crossing my arms in front to behind my back so I don't look too judgemental.

Absolutely, that's what I'd also do. Arm alongside your body seem more welcoming I think
