"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.

This forum has relly gotten worse. I remember 2 years ago when I first came here it was really something else. Plenty of people ,you got answeres in a few minutes, new tips, ideas... What happened? Where'd everybody go? This forum has really died.:( :( :( :( :(
 

"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.

I hear ya. Back then you knew everyone, it was more tight nitted. Now everybody likes to argue because half the people don't know what the hell they are talkin bout. Also, everything now seems to contradict itself within a post.

AFC asks for help => One or two guys with a clue respond and are ignored => another AFC tells first AFC what he wants to hear => 2nd AFC becomes "DJ" by the praise of the first.
Rinse. Repeat.
