"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.

As you know, Im a retired Disabled Air Force Vet still living with my parents. I watch and take care of them because of their health issues. My dad is pretty laidback with me, my mother on the otherhand, is always on my case about this and that and always cranky. You know how women are in the comfort of your own home, lol. Today we would have had a big argument, but you know what I did? I just told her, ‘ hey Im going to wash dishes and clean the kitchen now, I’ll get back to you later’. Seeing me busy and get off my ass calmed her down. Ive done this technique a few occasions, to all my married or who has lived with a chick? Have you done this several times as well? I know this is my mom, but this is a universal theme here. Just wondering man.
