When meeting for the first time?? Not for me, bro.I disagree completely. Nothing wrong with feigning a little vulnerability at the right times. It's part of push n pull.
I don't do push/pull either. I only pull.

"when meeting for the first time" is in the first sentence of the original post.Of course not when you first meet.
I didn't realize it was their first time meeting.You've already provided details of yourself: where you live, what you do for work, etc. That is all boring/comfort/rapport. "So, tell me something about yourself" is taking things to the level of a job interview; it's starting to sound like she's giving you a hoop to jump through or maybe just uninspired. My standard line for this kind of information sh*t-test is "I could just tell you, but where's the fun in that?", or you can always take things to the absurd level - as others have already put.
Perhaps you are referring to Robert Greene's 12th law of power?
Use Selective Honesty And Generosity To Disarm Your Victim
A very powerful technique, but should be used on our own terms. It should be used sparingly. Also, remember the 4th law of power:
Always say less than is necessary.
Well it was just off the top of my head. I guess its revealing something about yourself without revealing yourself and keeping her wanting more. Otherwise you might seem boring or lacking social skills or something to that extent. Idk.Sprayarc, your suggestion to tell her you really like dogs is interesting... Recently, when I insisted that the girl had to be more specific with her question before I could answer, she said "Hmmm, well for example do you own a dog?"
Another of her responses was: "Well, what's your motto in life?"
Way to intense. Stop taking everything so seriously. You need to lighten up."Tell me something about yourself".
It's a horsesh!t "question" that demonstrates low social intelligence. That is not how people naturally converse.
Plus, self-reporting is garbage.
You don't learn anything worth knowing about a person by having them talk about themselves. You do that by talking about "stuff" and allowing them to gradually reveal their preferences and opinions about the world.
The nuclear option (always fun) is "That's a horsesh!t question and you know it. Why don't you tell me what you think about..."
You're taking back the frame and showing her how to have a real conversation. Jesus they're hard work sometimes.
