"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.

I have noticed that a lot of people like to wear a long sleeve shirt and then roll up the sleeves so that it looks more like a short sleeved shirt, exposing your forearms. I think the Gap and BR have some nice shirts I could do this with. I feel like buying some long sleeved shirtsand trying it out. I think it looks good...what do you guys think? Do the ladies like it, or is it a fad?
 

"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.

Everywhere you want to be.... I'm like a Visa card
If you do it and you get giant elbows made of sleeve, that's not the most attractive look. Try it with a shirt made of thinner material.

Rolled-up sleeves is a much more casual look. I can't wear my long-sleeved shirts all the way down, it now drives me nuts.

With some shirts you can get away with just folding the cuffs up.
