uh huh, That's cute.
Ladies, let's try this. Who are you more willing to go home with or give your number to? The guy who talks about himself endlessly, or the guy who listens to what you have to say.
2 cases:
-The guy who talks goes on and on about his career and goals without real regard as to what you are interested in. He may or may not look you in the eye when you talk and he might pause to hear what you have to say, but if the ego doesn't get stroked he'll rephrase until you do give him some kind of ego nudge. By the time he's done, your eyes have glazed over and you are working on your 3rd Daquiri/fuzzy navel/whatever.
-The guy who listens looks you directly in the eye while you speak, and seems engaged and interested in your rant by nodding appropriately and interrupts only to say he agrees or shares your interests/outlook/goals. He may not care either, but it seems like he does. By the time you're done, you are all smiles and thinking that this cat could be "the one".
Who are you leaving with?
let's face it...the latter guy will be called a good conversationalist and will be seen as emotionally "in tune" with you.
