"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.

Cheryl Winter spent $500 for Hartford-based Travelers Cos. Inc. to cover her daughter’s $50,000 destination wedding last October in New Orleans, where her biggest concern was a potential hurricane. The weather co-operated, but the limousine never showed up. Her daughter took a taxi cab to the church, and they used the insurance policy to claim the deposit money they couldn’t get back from the limo driver.

"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.

That seems like a simple variation of travel insurance. I don't see a problem with it.

I was kind of hoping the article was about a guy who bought a $10,000,000 "Wife Gains Fifty Pounds After Marriage" insurance.

You'd be surprised at the things you can get covered. . So long as somebody's got a measurable, financial risk they want to mitigate, and somebody's got a policy to sell, it's all good.

Farmers insure against the weather, Academy Awards and other shows that are ad revenue dependent insure in case of some kind of "breaking news event," athletes insure their limbs, and even here in Japan, people buy "Hole in one" insurance, as it's custom to buy loads of gifts for friends if you get a hole-in-one.

There is not an insurance company in the world that could afford to offer a policy on what women will and will not do in a marriage.
