Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess, “Will you marry me?”
The Princess said, “NO !!!”
And the Prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and banged skinny long-legged girls and hunted and fished and raced cars and went to strip clubs and dated women half his age and drank whiskey and beer and never heard bitching and never paid child support or alimony and kept his house and guns and ate spam and potato chips and beans and never got cheated on while he was at work and all his friends and family thought he was cool as hell and he had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up.
The End
even after all this time she could come back and instinctively find the coffee…the equal (she liked equal)…the mugs.
she could be blindfolded and easily grab towels from the linen closet…and head into the shower without missing a beat.
she’d know exactly where to find the iron…and never need to ask which buttons to hit on the remote to turn on music while she got ready.
and then she would head right to the door…
and leave…
again.
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…
I have wanted to start this blog for a looooong time….finally got around to it today. Honestly, I am obsessed with the POLI. Enjoy!!!
WELCOME!
Now, you probably think that you’ve NEVER experienced The Principle of Least Interest (POLI)…but you’re about to see that you’ve not only experienced it…it probably runs your fucking life!
Tell you what — let’s start with a little test.
Think about something you wanted…and I mean something you wanted BADLY! Maybe it was a date with that guy…or to get your ex-girlfriend back…or that job…or that piece of business…or to sell your house……anything goes.
Now, I can almost guarantee…when you wanted it BADLY, you didn’t get it.
BUT…the second (literally the GODDAMN SECOND) you started to NOT GIVE A SHIT….BAM! there it was.
- You stopped thinking about your ex (because that new person came along)…and who called? Yep…your fucking ex!
- You weren’t getting the price you wanted for the house, so you decided to do some remodeling and stick around…and who came knockin’? The realtor with a higher offer than you ever expected!
- You stopped chasing that one BIG client after you got another piece of business…and who came begging for help? Yup…you guessed it…
Simply put…when you DON’T GIVE A SHIT…or CEASE TO GIVE A SHIT…things start happening!!!
That’s why there’s always that one person who tells you, “Act like you don’t care.” Basically, that person is promoting the POLI. Of course, that opens the door to a BIG question — can you actually TRICK the POLI? Most of us know the REAL answer…but maybe we’ll put it to the test at some point to see what happens.
Of course, I’ll also be showing you STUDIES…telling you about real-life EXPERIENCES (mine and the people around me)…maybe getting some EXPERT opinions about the POLI…etc.
Oh…and I want YOUR STORIES and INSIGHTS TOO…so be sure to use the “comments” button (that it took me 10 hours to figure out how to install on this fucking thing) and send them along.
Anyway…WELCOME!!!
