  Dr. Gruber concludes that males express more types of body language when around females as a way to attract the opposite sex. Frank, a college student who participated in the study and behaved in the predicted way in Dr. Gruber's study, is out at a night club. When surrounded by a group of female students he feels tense and remains motionless. However, when a group of his male friends arrive Frank relaxes and shows increased signs of body language.
