talking to everyone

I just find something relative to chat about. Yesterday, this woman sat down next to me on the train. It was raining and we were both drenched. I just go "What's the deal with North Station and the subway not being connected?" and we ended up having a pretty hilarious conversation.

Point is, it doesn't really matter. Just talk. Most likely I will never see that person again in my life. And if it ends up weird or they're not receptive, then fuck them and thank you for giving me something to laugh about afterwards.

Now this is good advice. Learn how to socialize. Cowards don't become alphas. Ever. Ever. Ever. You think you lift and read some website and you are going to be a real alpha? Alpha males will destroy you verbally and physically. Learn your role and improve of course. But this website is not going to make you a badass. Most ridiculous shit I ever heard. This place has gold in it for sure. But socializing, ie talking to people with no intention of anything but conversation is huge for everything in life! Do it! And fucking fight faggots. Join a boxing club. Get punched up a little. Learn how to defend yourself a bit. I hate fighting and sparring but it changes you in a way you are prepared to deal with the world. I'm not saying be a fighter, but a little taste. Cowards can fake it all they want real men run this shit as it should be.

When I hang around upper management (CIO, Deputy Chief, Assistant Secretary) they always talk and crack jokes to secretaries, janitors, waitresses, bartenders, shoe shine guy, homeless people, etc.

Pretend like you woke up this morning with a billion dollars in your bank account; how would you act the rest of the day?

Try to remember one fact about them that they tell you the first time you have a chat - maybe they've got a pet, maybe their kid is starting school. Perhaps they're going on a cruise. Bring it up the next time you meet them - even if you remember nothing else, they get the impression that you don't forget anyone.

Also, talk to the "lower" staff - interns, janitors, those types. The janitorial staff especially. They've been there longer than you have and probably know the place better, too.

I like to start off conversations with co-workers/higher-ups with "Hi, I'm [name]. I don't believe we've met." whilst offering a firm handshake and a smile (some girls don't do handshakes. Use your judgement). You've got the informal "hi" juxtaposed with the more formal "believe", and it's short enough that you can easily use it anywhere. I also change the words a bit if you're meeting a lot of people in quick succession - you want to avoid sounding like you're reciting a script, even if you are.

One thing that bothers me is that a lot of men seem scared of this kind of thing. I tend to walk with my head up and make eye contact and greet people I see, but when I do this with men, a lot of them quickly look down until they pass me.

Eye contact and a smile. Speech is unnecessary if you're just trying to get into being more involved in the people around you. I greet people I'm in the elevator with or in line with, but just passing, eye contact and a smile is enough.

People accept "how are you" as "hi" these days. It's fine.

I think the trick is to act like you're in sales and you gotta sell something with every 'hi' or 'hello' and then move on. For those who actually worked retail sales this can be second nature.

Frequently as I'm walking in to work I'll give a friendly smile to some of the ladies, raise the coffee cup to anyone approaching or closer to me, maybe say hi twice to people, depending.

I look & act busy so even if I'm not it's assumed I am.

Elsewhere I'm less friendly because generally people are in a real hurry, it's not warm out, and people aren't looking for conversation. If someone is, maybe that's OK, sometimes it's really not and I will avoid it. More than happy to have a good conversation with a hot girl but this only happens now & then. Frequently I'm too busy to stop & talk. I plan my time out almost to the minute so I don't spend all day "shopping like a woman" instead of getting stuff done like a man ought to - precisely & efficiently.
