Excuse me if I'm a little behind on curve, but I had an epiphany the other day. During conversation, vagueness can keep shit interesting.

You're probably thinking... wtf? That sounds like a piece of shit idea wrapped in decomposed bacon fat.

I'm not denying that. It very well could be a steaming hunk of poop. But hopefully not.

What I've found is that, during a simplistic conversation-- from greetings all the way to bye-byes-- you can increase the level of attraction by being vague with your answers.

It's a psychological thing; If somebody calls and asks what you're doing, you'd simply reply "driving" or "talking to some friends" or "eating."

If there's even a small level of attraction with the person you're speaking to, they'll ask "where you driving?" "who you talking to?" etc.

What this is is a very simple form of bait and hook. By answering questions with vague answers, you're making whoever you're talking to either guess the details (which are usually more creative than the actual details) or ask for specifics.

It's tapping into the subconscious need for information. It makes you control the conversation in a very, very passive way. And prospectively makes you a more interesting person.

Done over a mid to long period (Specifics are definitely vital to first impressions.. so don't apply this to approaches,) it's a very easy way to get somebody to qualify her/his self to you.

Why? Because they're asking questions. Asking questions means they're interested. If you can create the subconscious need to ask questions, you can MAKE them more interested.

As an rAFC, I know the struggle to keep shit interesting, so there's no bullshit in this. Let me know if it requires clarification.
