"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.

It's like my Grandpa once told me. Treat em mean and you'll keep em keen. Treat em nice and you'll pay the price.
I wish my grandpa had given me that advice.

I bet I just earned myself a place on Iqqi's sh!t list. :crackup:
That would be quite a tragedy.....
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Well women who only seem to respond to being treated like sh!t, are the same as men who only respond to being treated like sh!t.

And that is why it is so obvious to me why men on this board are crying about being treated like sh!t! You are all more like the women you whine about than you would ever imagine! You are the easiest kind of men to game.

It is almost funny. But it is more sad.

Mikey, I don't have a sh!t list. But if you want to be on it, I can get rough with you... if that's how you like it. You may be one of the men I just described. :whistle:

Thanks for all the great feedback guys. You pretty much reinforced what I already felt, but I guess I just needed to hear it one more time.

Thanks!

i really don't have anything to hide, maybe others can learn from my mistakes.

elaborate on what you mean by cluster b type? is that slang for just "stupid b1tch?" or is that really a DJ term?

Cluster B --- a subset of the personalty disorders in the DSM - a catalog of psychiatric diagnoses. Cluster B includes BPD, HPD, ASPD, and some others. Look up "Borderline Personality Disorder." There are even some threads here about it.
