"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.

Well look no further, and I quote
A NEW reason to hate bankers. And men. And spreadsheets.
Oh Owen Vaughan, that's some champagne journalism.

And lets not forget the title of this piece:
Creepy investment banker rated dates on spreadsheet
His crime? evaluating women on a spreadsheet *GASP*
Nevermind the fact women have whole sites dedicated to this or a little thing called gossip, he's "creepy"?

And to top it off, this guy apologizes.

"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.

Geez. The sad part is the part where he apologizes. It's that sort of behavior that keeps this sh!t happening.

Pretty much every woman in the comments has said there's nothing wrong with this, making Owen Vaughan look like a tool with his pre-emptive white knighting.

I wouldn't trust this IB fella with my money though. He now has a history of leaking private spreadsheets to gossiping bimbos.
