"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.

Hey people, it's iwanttofight here. I got a little bit of advice to pass on to my broski's.
Are you the "Ok" person or "not the ok" person?

Eric Berne, a psychologist coined these two terms to describe two basic personality types - people who are basically content with themselves, and people that feel inferior and insecure.

OK person= Basic posture is upright, with shoulders firm and square, head raised and body evenly and easily balanced. Moves briskly and without hesitation, and the expression is lively with a permanent half smile. If you get close to a "OK" person you may notice lines at the corners of the mouth slope upward. He or she will smile more than sulk.

Not ok person= posture is hunched, back slightly bent. Movements slow, weary, and forced. Expression is tired and sad. There mouth corner lines slope slightly downward which is a sign that this person sulks more than smiles.

If you meet a Not ok person you will be automatically wary. You may feel, without knowing why, that although they are quite lively at this party, in the long term they won't be much fun to be with. Such feelings are instinctive and should be heeded. If you can't listen to what your own body is telling you, how can you take advice from other people. You are a stranger to yourself. Listening to instinctive advice will save you from long term unhappiness, bad marriages, ect. and will caution yourself to steer clear of these horrible life altering decisions.

I think people with Not Ok body language are at a social disadvantage, finding it difficult to make contact and maintain relationships. Because body language becomes more fixed with time, these people may find themselves becoming more and more isolated. Be warned! Stay clear away of women with the Not Ok personality distinction. If you just want to get your d*ck wet then it would be ok to dip your dip stick and check your oil with these women. I would not get into a relationship with one these women though. When you become a partner with another women you will inherit the other person's traits. You do not want to inherit the beta "not ok" traits now do you?
Well it's been fun my fellow man with plan, ghost with most, the player extaordinaire. Now Peace the F*ck Out.

Interesting that you talk about the half smile. I've been working on that, realizing that my chronic pain (from childhood on) has caused me to look overly serious. Essentially, although I look extraordinarily young for my age, I believe that the look of never-ending pain is on my face.

I'm trying now to train my face into that half-smile, which does seem to be the sweet spot for me. I don't want to be too smiley, but I'm trying to look a little more approachable and friendly. To that end, I've been forcing the semi-smile for several minutes at a time every day, along with trying to be more aware of my facial muscles when interacting. I find that it elevates my mood a little, too.
