"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I'm referring to the change of tone of posts. First @Bible_Belt is saying I have a crappy outbound call center job, next he's worried about stealing xyz from the employer which doesn't add up for this type of work. I did not understand that.

You're a telemarketer. Your job sucks. Your coworkers are losers. I've had your job, so I know. Bragging that you fit in with these people is sad. You ought to be the best, it's not that hard compared to these people, and then you could get a better job. But that isn't happening when you focus you energy on screwing off at work.

You can't look for another job while you are working at your desk though. If you are making an argument about "stealing employers time", then that would fall into it, just like any other activity that's not direclty related to the task you are donig, or reading "authorized" material from that office if there is a slow day, between the calls.

Oh by the way, I don't "steer" at the smartphone screen. You are talking about an occasional peek of a running video when nobody's looking. Videos are treated much the same way as if was an actual real person. Just like you wouldn't steer at a lady working out in a Gym that has tight yoga pants and is doing squats while you are in adjacent machine doing your own thing, but might peek around, the videos are also treated a similar way. If you look too much at those videos, then it's that grey-zone of feeling creepy looking at those types of videos, because you it's not how you would behave in real life, say, if you were in a Gym. or space where there was a lady twerking around by herself (ie within a Gym), etc...
