The document discusses the 'three second rule' in dating, suggesting that individuals should take action quickly when they see an opportunity instead of waiting for assurance. It argues that both men and women are often unsure in social situations, and taking immediate action can lead to better outcomes. The author uses examples from a seminar and sports to illustrate the importance of seizing opportunities without hesitation.
The Three Second Rule Of Life
- 2. In dating they've got this thing called the "three second rule."
- 3. When a guy sees a girl, he's supposed to walk over and start a conversation within three seconds.
- 4. Now, some say this is because all girls are super confident and are always in control of their emotions, which means if they send a "signal" to a guy that it's safe to come over, and he doesn't, then she'll lose interest, within three seconds.
- 5. This, of course, is utter nonsense.
- 6. One thing most guys are shocked to find out is that girls are just as clueless as guys when it comes to finding, meeting and creating relationships.
- 7. So that's not the reason for the three second rule.
- 8. What is?
- 9. If you expand this back a bit, and consider ALL desires, then the three second rule makes more sense.
- 10. I remember a long time ago I was at this goofy real estate seminar.
- 11. The instructor, (in a clever ploy to "train" the audience to take action) pulled out a hundred dollar bill and just held it out.
- 12. About one or two seconds passed by, until one person got up and ran to the front.
- 13. Soon after she did, about twenty other people did the same thing.
- 14. Since she was first, she got the $100.
- 15. Everybody else that was waiting to make sure it was "safe" didn't get squat.
- 16. (As an aside, that same guru did that a few times during this "free" seminar before the big "pitch" which meant that by then many of the attendees were "well trained" to dive right into his multi-thousand dollar course.)
- 17. The bottom line is that when you see an opportunity, it's a good idea to take it.
- 18. Not wait around for confirmation.
- 19. Not wait for somebody to give you clear instructions
- 20. Not wait until other people take action so you know it's safe.
- 21. Hence the three second rule.
- 22. If you could train yourself, to AUTOMATICALLY take action, without thinking, within three seconds, what would you do?
- 23. In the dating community, guys that do this are called "approach machines."
- 24. See somebody cute, walk up and start talking BEFORE you get a chance to talk yourself out of it.
- 25. What if you could do this with ALL opportunities?
- 26. Sure, you'd strike out a bunch.
- 27. But so did Babe Ruth.
- 28. AND he also hit WAY more home runs than anybody else, at the time.
- 29. He didn't wait for an OK or a signal from his coach before he swung.
- 30. He saw high fat one and instinctively swung with all his might.
- 31. (He also lived large off the field as well).
- 32. Would you like to do the same?
