Does being silent and unreadable make you more interesting to new people?

No you’ll look like an antisocial retard. Talk to people but don’t overshare

Absolutely not. Interesting people are interesting. Doing nothing is not interesting.

At first, you will seem mysterious, but after a while people will get fed up and not bother with you. Humans will only attempt interacting so many times before moving on, regardless of SMV.

Only if your attractive, not if your unattractive.

Depends, of course. Imagine you are the new guy, and no one knows about you. You dont do anything, people dont ask you anything because you dont seem interesting. Yes, you are mysterious, but no one cares enough to ask you shit.

Now, if you as the new guy do something cool, are interesting and shit, but you are mostly quiet and stoic, thats different. You showed them what you can do, but not why, or what else can you do, etc.

Being mysterious is useless if people dont see you as high value/interesting/worth getting to know.

Never try to impress people either by over communicating or acting like a mystery. Focus on what you do, and leave a mark through your actions. Be authentic. I am a quiet type, it take a while for me to warm up to people and I do not allow too many individuals in my close proximity unless we really have something in common. But that is me, I was born this way and the world has shaped me to realize that I am more comfortable like that. Some people are talkative, friendly, even obnoxious. It work for them, good deal. Be yourself, be authentic, be unique. Some people just do not deserve the attention or the care.

No. The only way that would work is if you had a reputation of being more than meets the eye. Maybe if people heard of your wild parties or your sexual conquests or that you are some hot shot who commands a corporate empire. Otherwise you just come across as a shy, silent guy.

Yes, but you'll also seem like a weirdo. Be friendly and interesting, respect yourself, and don't overshare.

You need to seduce people. People are flimsy, flighty, mentally weak, but self-centred and focus on self-preservation. Mystery is one form of seduction ("who's that?") but it's also a threat. Seduce people by talking about the superficial and everyday emotions of yourself, let them know you're not a threat and don't view them as such, the interesting but irrelevant fluff of life, but don't tell them about how your father left when you were a kid the second time you meet them. Then you become an obligation, and weak, and incapable, a liability to the pack.

No. If you’re attractive you’ll just look like an asshole, and if you’re unattractive you’ll just look like a loser.

Depends how high your SMV is.

If you're really good looking, yes. If you're average or below, people will just ignore you.

It will make you look autistic and retard. People want mystery and fun but also someone who is similar to them in some aspects. Never be ' Holier than thou'. Just don't run your mouth too much or else they'll think they know you very well and now nothing about you interests them.

Gaidsbola · 2019-11-05T13:22:18+00:00

If you act like a autistic shit stain people will think you are a autistic shit stain. Don’t act like a fucking weirdo op.
