I was thinking about the old adage: "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it". And wondering what you all think and believe on how this applies to TRP. I believe this is absolutely true in all areas of life, especially true of implementing TRP/male-female interactions. In so many situations it depends on your frame/your reaction. Say someone tries to bully you, that moment that he tries to bully you, your reaction is critical to how he will treat you for the rest of your relationship with him. If you stand tall and stand your ground, act confident and don't show fear he will leave you alone, because he perceives you as strong even if you are short and skinny. Also like with women, they are so perception, always looking for that weak spot in your persona, the chink in the armor. And all of your reactions are critical to how she perceives you, she is trying to knock you off your keel and test you. Therefore, your reactions both physical (body language/tone of voice), and verbal (how you respond) are of your utmost concern. How true do you think this is and its application to TRP? Does a good portion boil down to your reactions to her shit-test and how you respond?
