Generally if the 80/20 rule would apply for the interaction it would be nothing good as it should be a conversation and not one person speaking all the time. Also if the other person wouldn't speak at all as for me it could mean she/he is not interested or is very shy. Anyway if there is going to be something between two people both parties should be involved on nearly the same level i think. Yes Khiem, I have exactly the same experiences.

I know it's a rule put forth in the Pickup Community... but as far as I know... all my interactions are pretty balanced from the beginning. It may start with 60/40 but very quickly it gets into a 50/50 conversational exchange. Why would I talk to someone if I have to pull teeth out of them for them to talk? Actually, most of the time, my conversation starts with them talking a bit more (unless they are a bit responsive). I'm curious about the people I talk to... as such... I ask a lot of interesting questions... and they answer. They respond because they see that I am genuinely enthusiastic about them. I talk to them with genuine care. Matt,

You know something though you just brought something to mind though and it is very interesting...But what about 90/10. I run across people each day and some care and some don't.

David, it makes total sense. She had a stomach bug, and she lays on that rug all the time... so I'm thinking she shat herself! How did you not see it coming? ;) We can learn how to communicate better and improve our interaction skills… but ultimately we will not be able to click with everyone we meet in our lives, even if they are great people.

It just shows that connecting with strangers is always a two way street, and we should never be disappointed if we don't make friends with everyone we meet. Oh... and unlucky with the rug :) Thanks for the advice.

Im don't think it's true but that it what some say.
