Basic Principles - no woman wakes up saying "God, I hope I don't
get swept off my feet today!" Now, she might say "This is a really
bad time for me," or something like "I just need some space," or my
personal favorite "I'm really into my career right now." You
believe that? Neither does she. You know why? 'Cause she's lying to
you, that's why. You understand me? Lying! It's not a bad time for
her. She doesn't need any space. And she may be into her career,
but what she's really saying is "Uh, get away from me now," or
possibly "Try harder, stupid," but which one is it? 60% of all
human communication is nonverbal, body language; 30% is your tone,
so that means 90% of what you're saying ain't coming out of your
mouth. Of course she's going to lie to you! She's a nice person!
She doesn't want to hurt your feelings! What else she going to say?
She doesn't even know you... yet. Luckily, the fact is that just
like the rest of us, even a beautiful woman doesn't know what she
wants until she sees it, and that's where I come in. My job is to
open her eyes. Basic Principles - no matter what, no matter when,
no matter who... any man has a chance to sweep any woman off her
feet; he just needs the right broom.
