3 Second Rule? Nah… 30 Second Rule!

There’s an interesting new article out on the ‘net that says women will make a judgement about a guy within 30 seconds of meeting him. This is good news for all of us who follow the 3-seond rule, because it means we have an extra 27 seconds to use to our advantage! Whew, pressure off…
Anyway, here’s the first part of the article…
HEY baby, what’s your favourite pizza topping? Surprising though it may seem, that question could hold the key to dating success.
Forget carefully crafted compliments and witty jokes, because an inquiry about the merits of pepperoni versus anchovy is more likely to get you that coveted telephone number, according to a study of speed dating.
And men need to get their champion chat-up lines in quickly, because women are even quicker to judge than they are. Almost half (45 per cent) of the women in a mass speed-dating experiment gave prospective partners the mental thumbs down in less than 30 seconds. The men took a minute and a half.
The study, at the Edinburgh International Science Festival last week, involved 100 single people aged from 22 to 45. Each participant had ten speed dates, then had to decide whether they wanted to see any of the ten again.
On average, each man was smitten by four women, whereas women were interested in only two of the eligible males. The 70 couples who registered a mutual attraction will be monitored as they go on further dates over the next six months.
Two participants, one man and one woman, managed an envy-inducing 100 per cent success rate, with all ten of their dates hoping to see them again.
But, according to the organiser of the study, Richard Wiseman, a psychology professor, “they were by no means the most attractive people in the room”.
He said: “They asked interesting, quirky questions. He asked people who they would be on Stars in their Eyes, and she asked them what their favourite pizza topping was. It’s difficult to answer either without a smile on your face.”
In sad contrast, there was a plethora of cringeworthy one-liners and tragic misjudgments.
“I have a PhD in computing,” was never going to light any fires, and “My favourite place in the world is anywhere you are,” sounds like the confession of a particularly cheesy stalker.
Both sexes were heavily influenced by physical appearance, Professor Wiseman, of the University of Hertfordshire, said. “But women tended to look for an instant ‘chemistry’. If that was missing they quickly rejected the man, so the opening line really matters.
“Guys were less judgmental and took a bit longer to assess a woman’s attractiveness.”
In a second experiment, 500 people were asked to play Cupid for a male participant, Kes, a 30-year-old mechanical engineer. Lucky Kes shared a four-course meal with four women, each joining him in his private dining room for one course.
Members of the public were given photographs and short descriptions of the women and were asked to predict which one Kes would find the most attractive.
The most popular choice was a 26-year-old nurse, Ray (37 per cent). Those who rated themselves as good matchmakers were particularly adamant that she was Miss Right. But Kes proved them wrong, opting for a teacher, Jan, whom only 23 per cent had predicted he would choose.
I’d definitely read the whole article. It’s pretty interesting. Hat tip to Jeff for this one.

Errr…..
3 second rule is important to block out approach anxiety for most people. It’s not just about the ‘first impression’.
What you’re talking about (the first impression thing anyway) has been a known fact for quite a while.

Hit on Your Dream Girls
Most guys shake in their boots at the thought of approaching a hot babe.
This is your King speaking and I am the world’s number one guy at approaching hot babes.
A few quick pointers as I have been getting laid like a mad man and have little time to write for you boys.
Approach YOUR GIRLS with confidence.
Don’t worry about memorizing pick up lines know as openers. Say anything that comes to your mind. If I get tongue tied I just pass the girl my phone number and split.
Ignore those little voices in your head that make excuses for you not to hit on her.
Go for it. Even if you screw up you are ahead of 95% of the men of the world!
Think about how you feel when you let the love of your life walk out of your life.
You only have about THREE seconds to make your move before you lose your nerve or she is gone like the wind.
Don’t be concerned about the outcome. I approach scores of girls per day and never worry about JUST one little hottie.
Always make it a habit to look for hot babes every where you go. Never let your guard down. Be ready to approach at all times.
Face your fear and attack. Let fear be your guide instead of your enemy!

Similar studies were conducted years ago and published by Leil Lowndes.
What is funny is that nobody quite agrees on exactly what it “means”.
Leil would tell you that you should first be seen by the girl so she can have an initial first impression of you before you go up talking. PAIMAI.
The community will tell you that you should go straight up to the girl 3 second rule so what you say will override her biological judgment of you.
If you follow the community approach the act of juggling her judgement of you and listening to you could make her feel uncomfortable and overall be detrimental.
Everything has to be field tested and things aren’t as clear as they seem.

Hi there outstanding blog! Does running a blog like this take a massive amount work?
I’ve no expertise in computer programming however I had been hoping to start
my own blog in the near future. Anyway, should
you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please share.
I understand this is off subject but I just had to ask. Thanks a lot!
Great goods from you, man. I’ve understand your stuff previous to and you
are just too magnificent. I actually like what
you have acquired here, really like what you’re saying and
the way in which you say it. You make it enjoyable and you still care for to keep it smart.
I cant wait to read much more from you. This
is really a wonderful website.
First off I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question that
I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
I’ve had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting
my ideas out. I do take pleasure in writing however it
just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions
or tips? Appreciate it!
I don’t know if it’s just me or if everybody else encountering issues with your blog.
It seems like some of the written text within your content are
running off the screen. Can someone else please
comment and let me know if this is happening to them
too? This could be a issue with my browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Thanks
Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the
web the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while
people think about worries that they just don’t know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal.
Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
