If you send out more codes , I ' d love one . <| sep |> Looks like the print Tink left on Peter Panning ' s shirt the night his kids were taken away . to Nederland ! ' The children were screaming ! !!!'<| sep |> Guys listing off accomplishments or things guys think are interesting about themselves . On the same continuum of bragging but without the intent of arrogance . Instead , it has a tone of , I ' d like to impress you . This is a serious turnoff . I ' ll explain why . Guys will be so focused on what they think will make girls into them they end up turning girls running the other direction . usually sooner rather than later . I ' ve been in multiple situations where I ' ve been on a date or on the phone and listened to a guy while he listed off his accomplishments andor interests . thinking it would make him look better to me in my eyes . These dates then become incredibly memorable because of how unexpectedly comedic the situation gets . So many times I have listen to a guy talk about himself because I ' m just curious just how long he ' s talk about himself . I ' ve been on dates where guys have literally talked to me for an hour without asking me anything about myself . I ' m fascinated by their lack of recognition that I ' m not being impressed . They mistake me asking questions about them as complete interest in how it relates to them rather than a question to be explored to get to know me . Case 1 Dude calls me on the phone . Doesn ' t even bother to ask if I ' m busy I ' m in the middle of a busy work day . Begins to tell me about the salsa classes he ' s been taking . continues on to other things I ' m completely uninterested in . 20 minutes later , he ' s still listing all the projects he ' s working on and activities he does in his free time with the undertone that these hobbies made him so sensitive and cool and I finally get a word in to tell him I have to get back to work . Case 2 Meet guy for first date . He proceeds to talk about himself for half an hour straight . I just sit there because I ' m fascinated by his cluelessness . He too gives me a list of all the things that in his mind would be impressive to me . I finally find a good moment to segue out of the conversation and the date . Later this guy is upset when I say I am uninterested in seeing him again as he thought we had a really good date . He probably had a good date . he obviously liked talking about himself . My conclusion after many years of dating and relationshipsGuys have a way they talk to each other to assess status with one another . It can be athletics , gaming , collections , awards , titles , whatever . There is a natural inclination to make their accomplishments into some sort of barometer that can be measured in some metriclike way . True , some girls will be impressed by this either because they are superficial or because it may take awhile for them to see that the accomplishments and status don ' t correlate to a good relationship . Guys , just be yourselves . And just pay attention to the girls you are with . This means asking them good questions , insightful questions about them . Pay attention to their likes and dislikes , what interests them and what doesn ' t . Elaborate by asking deeper questions on what they are talk about . You ' ll make way more of a favorable impression on girls this way . My husband has never been a strong conversationalist , but he has always paid attention to the subtleties of who I am . He demonstrates it through his actions all the time . It ' s because he really listens . and that ' s really what makes a man attractive .
