When You Wait to Call…You’re trying to FORCE the PRINCIPLE OF LEAST INTEREST!

Remember the scene from Swingers where Mikey gets the girl’s number and asks his pals how long he should wait to call and they tell him “three days is kinda money.”

Of course…Mikey then decides to disregard their advice and, well…we know what happens then (watch it HERE).  Man, that’s still hard to watch even after having seen it 1,000 times .

Anyway…the whole idea of WAITING to call someone back is a perfect example of trying to FORCE (or even TRICK) the POLI…since the REAL reason you are doing it is to GAIN POWER by letting the person think that you really aren’t anxious and that you have other shit going on.

Here’s a great article about “Waiting to Call” and the POLI that I stumbled upon as I was doing some research.  Ultimately…what I think you will find is that in MOST CASES trying to FORCE the POLI just doesn’t work!

Enjoy…
