This.It’s about not needing anything from the interaction, and just having a curiosity and openness about people.
I recently posted some advice in another thread on how to have meaningful, curious conversations with people when you are nervous. The point of the post was to describe how to dig deep and understand what makes people tick. Avoid the "interview".
This is a great point and it reminds me of an interaction I had at a wedding. There was this girl there who was in her late 20's. Natural blond and just a drop-dead stunner. Solid 9. She was there alone cradling her newborn infant. I walked up to her during the reception and started up a conversation. It was a good and deep conversation that helped me learn about her and what made her unique. I figured she might have a bit of an attitude based on how hot she was and the fact that I didn't see many people talking to her throughout the evening, and the only people who did were women (maybe on account of that infant hah), but it wasn't true at all. When I excused myself to continue making the rounds, she looked at me with a really genuine look and said, "Hey, thank you for coming and talking to me. Really." Throughout the night after that, I caught her staring at me with this look on her face of, "Who IS this guy?" Given that she had a newborn, I obviously wasn't talking to her to try to start anything, which made it even easier than normal to be outcome independent. But her subsequent reactions to me during and after the conversation prove BE's point.and men sometimes make the assumption that beautiful women always get everything handed to them, which I’m here to tell you is NOT the case, at least not from the men you really want.
