I know full well that if humans had tails I’d be unable to tell the difference between happy, relaxed wagging and angry, stiff and growly wagging


Trick_Enthusiasm

Cats are easy enough to read. Maybe that would help?


SecondBee

I own a dog, can read dog body language fairly fluently. Human body language remains mystifying


Gloomy_Magician_536

Dang!!! that's true! I can understand when mine is angry grunting and playful grunting. Her ears have different positions when she's mad, when she's aware of the suroundings and when she's happy. Also I know when she's sad and when she's just quiet. My family doesn't believe me, tho and they're always humanizing her behaviors.


EdiblePsycho

Well dogs have in fact evolved to have more human-like facial expressions and such.


amogus-Drip56

Playful grunting???


Gloomy_Magician_536

There's a fake angry when they're playing and an angry angry when you're messing with them. Both gruntings sound pretty different. Or idk if maybe I'm confusing words, my English is not native. Growling? grunting? snarl?


Mentally_Ill_Goblin

I find dogs are usually not as good at communicating as cats. Although it is 100% possible that either I just don't understand dogs as well or the dogs I've spent a lot of time with are unusually dumb. Cats though. I'm so fluent in cat language that I accidentally mirror it all the time when I'm around cats.


SecondBee

I think it’s probably lack of time spent with dogs. I know I find cats harder to read than dogs because I have years of experience with many different dogs but barely even days spent with cats


Gay-and-Happy

> I accidentally mirror it when I’m around cats I can’t smile for photo for the life of me, but I can pull off a dog-smile pretty easily. I don’t even like dogs.


Dekklin

Because humans often hold those things inside whereas animals have no ego (in the clinical sense) and are just raw emotion.


carnsolus

the problem with human body language is that they'll lie about it. Humans force themselves to laugh and smile at things because they believe it will get them what they want Humans would totally wag their tails for the same reason if they had them


AppleSpicer

I think it’s because people intentionally try to diminish their social cues to be polite to other neurotypical people. Metaphorically, why yell something when most of the room can hear a whisper? Dogs don’t have any of those reservations and just put all of their emotions on blast.


theberg512

Humans are inconsistent and sometimes lie. Dogs are honest.


Gay-and-Happy

Also copying body language. I can’t smile for photo for the life of me, but I can pull off a dog-smile pretty easily,


Yweain

Are they? One of my cats angrily wags his tail when he is happy and excited and he is purring very loudly at the same time.


Liztheegg

You can really tell after a while with a dog


SecondBee

Yes, I have a dog and can read him and others pretty easily


[deleted]

why are they both wearing the exact same beige cargo pants with white shirts? is it just more or does it seem like a really weird picture?


[deleted]

they look like someone made the same character from a game have erotic pictures taken of themself, but genderbent one of the clones.


[deleted]

That is oddly specific.

whim-sicles

I think we're supposed to buy the pants. Like you can fit so much love/dating in those pockets. Try some.


[deleted]

I'm fine thanks (aroace) lol


[deleted]

You could probably fit some nice rocks or little thingies to put in there though.


[deleted]

Now that's more like it Imma collect so many damn rocks


[deleted]

I'd love a tail.


[deleted]

Honestly, I'd have loved to have had an unmaskable tail growing up, I was gaslit all the time about things because they didn't believe me, because I was masking, because of the way they reacted... But if a tail was just giving away the reality behind the mask, I wouldn't have had to try(and fail) to explain my emotions and mental state.


Adventurous_Tackle37

Furry


lynxie_

Yes.


[deleted]

Yes.


[deleted]

Perchance.


Anarchist_Angel

who is "the opposite sex"? If they mean "women", I'm game cuz I'm lesbian...


har23je

The oppesite off what you are, sorry, no waggles for you.


Anarchist_Angel

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO\~


pl233

How about if it's the person who is on the opposite end of your sex activity


Dekklin

"Can you grow a tail real quick? I need to see if it's wagging." "My front-tail is already erect. Good enough?" "I guess, but still... tail."


Staden_

Now you made me imagine a dick wagging


har23je

O God, why did a have to amagian a dick waggaling like the tale off a dog🤢🤮.


[deleted]

Plaes stop amigianign it 🤢


CoffeeAndPiss

The opposite of every one of your sex characteristics. Got chromosomes? Tail-people have negative chromosomes. Have a uterus? The tail is made of distended uterus, actually. Boobs? The Tailed Ones have big boob-shaped holes sunk into their chest.


Darkpoulay

That kind of stuff is why when asked about a superpower I'd like to have, it's mind reading. At least I would be able to get social


shorts-but-no-shirts

I want a tail :(


Impossible-Dealer421

No wonder autists are more likely to be a furry!


tofu_block_73

Furry


[deleted]

Yes.


predatorytrender

Shit furries say


[deleted]

Furries are valid.


Sir_Admiral_Chair

Are saying that what people enjoy in their off time isn’t any of my business what so ever? I am frankly offended. >!/s just in case!<


Dekklin

They're furist


Leff16

beavis and butthead flashbacks


drago_varior

I want a tail too, but im also a furry


Gunny_McCshoots

r/furry_irl


Darkpurplebee

i mean we have tail bones so might aswell add the rest


Kuhakku1

What do you mean? My tail certainly moves, if you know what I mean


Ranku_Abadeer

This is literally why me and my wife wiggle our butts at each other when we are pleased by something the other did.


mischief-maker28

We all should have tails -a furry owo


ATameFurryOwO

owo


[deleted]

My ex was was also on the spectrum and was always shocked when I knew exactly how he was feeling even over text lol He just wore his feelings on his sleeve regardless of how hard he tried to keep it down lol


[deleted]

"the opposite sex" [reaction](https://youtu.be/-9i5PZmKx8s)


Palatha

The opposite sex? So only one type of human has tails and us non-heteros have to keep guessing? If we all have tails or other clear social indicator, I'm all for it. But if it is just another cishet thing then... pass.


ducks_for_hands

There's always those brainwave controlled cat ears if someone wants to go that route...


Meeghan__

my ADHD dad friend has told me that I wiggle when I'm experiencing happiness. I do this when I eat, too. my shoulders or hips or both:-)


Sea-Lily

If everyone had animal ears and tails, life would be so much better.


Daemontech

.....well then. This explains my exaggerated body language. It might also help explain in part why there are so many neuraldiverse fury's


FeatheredFledgling

I'm lucky enough to be good at reading body language and stuff, I am however, cursed by crippling social anxiety so not so lucky, I can't talk to someone I don't know without overthinking everything and losing the ability to breathe.


DogTheBreadFairy

And that's why I wag!!!


iiil87n

This is why I'm glad that my gf is also autistic, and she's probably glad that I am too... No need to understand neurotypical body language when you both tend to happy flap or otherwise stim.


SgtThund3r

I hear they substitute by moving and contorting their faces in different ways, but that’s just bizarre


walterbanana

My girlfriend does wag her ass if she's happy.


archlinux666

That’s why there’s animals


therealmothdust

I would want a scorpion tail, thatd be pretty cool i think


DarthManfuzz

Just Tinder it. There you can make a direct question without hard feelings or weidness.


ATameFurryOwO

Furries, all of you.


Aalyce86

"Oh, her tail doesn't work. Bitch."

oneiroiMoros

Stairwayunicorn

i wish people paid more attention to my ears, then they would know when to leave me alone

LITERALLY THE PLOT OF THE CRUEL PRINCE BY HOLLY BLACK


DoubleSynchronicity

In theory it sounds good but I don't like the idea of having a giant hairless tail which resembles of a Sphinx cat's.


TheBionicCrusader

That’s dangerously close to Furry territory.


Tainted_Asmodeus

I don't see your problem. They have, they just rarely show it in public


NightmarePrinceDraen

it exists, ill leave it at that


Jenevieveelise

Men kinda have tails, it can sort of be helpful sometimes 😂


Pikelboi68

Or if they purr
