I'm noticing women seem to expect a level excitement in a conversation right off the bat. Anyone else experienced this or is just my perception?
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Oddly enough, I used to be in the "I don't like small talk" crowd. Then I learned....I've made the mistake of under estimating the power of small talk before, especially when getting to know someone.
There are many aspects of good conversation: small talk, debate, philosophy, banter, humour, opinion, public affairs etc etc. A good conversationalist is well versed in all, and does not rely on one or another thing in particular.
It's good to hold conversation with lots of different people every day, not just got girls. Then, when one does turn up, you go completely unphased, to whatever happens.
Who cares what they ‘expect?’I'm noticing women seem to expect a level excitement in a conversation right off the bat. Anyone else experienced this or is just my perception?
I will absolutely look into that as it sounds very insightful. The situation I've run into seems a bit more strange, it happens rarely but I noticed because it happened twice in one day.There is a good book by an engineer on the subject that is worth a read.
The Fine Art of Small Talk by Debra Fine.
In it she goes through various methods to improve your conversational skills and increase your social calibration.
And she was a naturally geeky introvert by her own admission. It's quite a practical book, short, and useful. Order a copy.

This is good advice. What I'm talking about isn't that far into the conversation though it's literally in the opening 2 to 4 four sentences before any of that can take place.In my experience, less is more.
Nothing gets a pvssy more drier than long political debates, endless opiniated wallowing or trying to impress her with you standup comedy skills.
Just be the empty projection screen on which she can project herself, let her do the talking, all you need to do is show with your body language that you want her sexually.
That sounds like the old joke about the marine who gets slapped a lot.Who cares what they ‘expect?’
Can’t fall into their frame bro. Do you want to sleep with them, be their friend, or impress them? If you want to sleep with them, the less time you have for small talk and get to the point, the more likely they will think you are a man with options.
