Green Line Test
A viral body-language theory that draws a line through couples in photos and claims the person leaning more is less dominant or more invested.
“The comments ran the green line test on the red-carpet photo even though it was only one pose.”
The test is mainly meme analysis and should not be treated as reliable evidence about a relationship or personality.
The trend spread on TikTok and X in the early 2020s through edited celebrity photos marked with green posture lines.
