Women to talk a lot more than men. Women are also much more responsive to tone and body language than men. No news here. Talking and other forms of communication did not "Ruin" our relationship. It was the realization there were little prospects for a stable long term relationship because of differing goals combined with her facing a significant decision that would be influenced by our relationship status, I decided it was time to end it. It is said non-verbal communication makes up something like 90% of all communications. Below are significant examples in my life, some of which I've shared with you previously under our previous aliases. As a 4 year old, my mom took me to Mexico. After we returned home, she remarked to other people how well the kids down there and I got along considering we spoke different languages. I said to her I did not realize we spoke different languages! I was unknowingly set up for a fight by someone I trusted against Scott. So we arrive to the location where Scott was accompanied by some of his friends. After some small talk, Scott started walking towards me and I stepped in and hit him in the stomach twice, very lightly, and returned to my previous position. Scott then prepared to take a swing but at the last moment he turned away sharply and walked to where an engine in the process of being rebuilt was.. No words were exchanged through out this incident. Here is a detailed breakdown: Apparently my trusted friend, a known gossip speader who frequently misquotes people, got me into trouble with Scott who then wanted to fight me. Although I perceived Scott to have limited fighting skills, he was tall, Brahma Bull strong, and tough. While he could defeat me easily in a fight, I probably would not have sustained major long term damage. When Scott walked towards me, my subconscious mind kicked in and came up with the incredible solution of to avoid the fight I had to hit my opponent! Twice! The key was to demonstrate skill and a willingness to fight, but at the same time satisfy Scott's ego. This is where the well timed light hits and my facial expressions came in. After the first hit that looked like my opponent walked into, I gave an exaggerated look of astonishment. After the second hit, I stepped back and exaggerated a "Gulp" sound and a wide eyed look, while returning my hands to my sides. In the second or split second this happened, there was no way my conscious mind could process everthing and come up with a solution like this to avoid a fight. Indeed, it wasn't until after this incident did I finally figure out what happened. I usually take a playful approach when finding a woman I'm curious about. It could be a woman I already know or even a complete stranger. I have been known to blocks paths, move slowly and quietly while maintaining eye contact in a intercepting course as in stalking, "accidentally" bump into her and "apologizing" by saying "Sorry, this is such a small room, it hard to get by"! Then bumping her again. I have gotten some great, usually polarized responses doing this. One woman I was "stalking" caught herself walking faster and gave an annoyed look but not at me, at herself for reacting that way! Another woman flashed annoyance, but engaged in conversation to not seem too prudish. Conversative women tend to give me a "Don't bother, It's not going to work" look. Yet other women become animated and occasionally make the first physical contact by "Beating me to the punch" as it where. Some of the other woman who did not give encouraging responses to my initial contact, become receptive to engagement the next time I see them. A recent example involved an attractive cashier in a travel plaza. There were barriers placed between the counter to maintain minimum distancing from customers and cashiers. Never seeing her before, I leaned over the barrier with my arms wide open and said "How am I going to put my arms around you with these barriers here"? She dead-panned, but when I came in again that day, she left the counter and walked to an accessible area, inviting communication. Body language and tone is the only way to communicate with animals. A particularly well remembered event was after I climbed a 10 foot fence enclosing a seemingly public area, I was soon challenged by a woman and noticed a dog running towards me from the opposite direction. I looked at the women as if to say "Are you going to call off the dog"? She gave no response, implying that I was on my own. I turned towards the medium large dog to assess my risk of being attacked. I could not determine this, so I abruptly turned away from the dog are looked in the direction I wanted the dog to go. The dog disengaged and went in that direction. If the dog did not disengage at the point, the fight would be on. Animals can read our body language well and respond accordingly, whether it is for comfort, play, or work. Thinking about it, for companionship, I think I'll get a dog instead!
