"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.

Assumed sarcasm?

What does it mean when people especially girls always seem to assume that you're being sarcastic and interpret many things that you say as some criticism of them, or are quick to apologize for the littlest things and often insinuate that they're trying not offend you when you're being as warm and friendly as possible? How many of you get this? Am I just giving off the wrong vibes? Maybe I just seem too uptight and unapproachable.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Ask a person you know-not a close friend or family member about your tone of voice. My ex-wife always E NUN C ATED her words, what she thought was proper diction always came across as pissed.

This is a good thread.

I have the same problem too. I have the highest grade in my English 101 class and all the girls in there try to use big words with me trying to impress me or something. However, it is kinda funny when they use a big word in the wrong context in which it should be used. Anyways, when I do talk to them and they don't use a big word they act like their less superior than me and say stuff like, "I know I'm sounding dumb right now, but not all of us can be a writer and use big words like you." I'm always like, "What the f**k? I'm normal too you know."

It's an on going problem in my life. If someone can help you, I'm sure they can help me as well.
