Gestures is a form of curing their own arguments. As long as it is not exaggerated, and used in key moments of a conversation. How do you see an individual who continually gestures when wearing a discussion with you? Gestures, for or against? Why?

I use a lot of gestures when I have a conversation with someone, especially someone who kinda intimates me or who isn't like a family member or a close friend. I tend to get pretty nervous when my teachers talk to me so when I talk I tend to move my hands around a bit so that I can talk more clearly and speak the words I want to speak. So when I say a few words, I use my hands to try to make a point when I talk. It makes me feel so much more comfortable and I can speak a lot better when i use hand gestures. I don't know if other people actually notice it but I tend to do it unintentionally. It's simply a habit, I hope no one thinks it's weird 
Good speech makers use gestures as it makes them more animated and adds more emphasis on their arguments or the words they wish to express. Gestures are pretty powerful, as they say, actions speak louder than words.

To be honest, with some people I do think it looks weird or more fake.
Especially if presidents-candidates or so are doing it. It looks seldom natural, more forced.
I don't use that much gestures only when I am upset or angry or so, at least I think I use them more, although my face/mimic says enough according to most people.

It depends on the person, the culture what kind and how many or frequently gestures are used. Some people use more gestures/body languages as they talk.

Indeed...Most times, words are not enough to express yourself, to make you understand. Sometimes you need and some fireworks, and when you do not provide a projector for a PowerPoint slideshow, or a few slides, you not only remains the easiest solution: hands. Sometimes it is helpful if you know how to synchronize your movements with which remove the mouth, sometimes risking to become painful or deepens your audience in a state of confusion, as when taking part in a game where you must mimic transmit the word ...
Thanks for response.

I think that gestures are very common and sometimes expected. Most people when in a conversation, use many gestures, like using their hands to emphasize something either exciting or common. I find nothing wrong with gestures, I also use then.
