00:09:57,680 --> 00:09:59,920
The tactic,
generally, was to deliberately

159
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,200
freeze out the one you were
actually interested in.

160
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,280
<i>For one thing you
wouldn't seem needy but...</i>

161
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,800
...also they would, most times,
sort of lean in naturally.

162
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,080
People want to be noticed.

163
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,440
They don't like to be shut out.
It makes them feel invisible.

164
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:21,400
But this girl...

165
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,120
<i>This girl seemed content
with being ignored.</i>

166
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:29,000
Maybe she could smell a loser.

167
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,200
No.

168
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,440
No. She was an outsider.

169

<i>An attractive outsider.</i>

170
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,440

OK, look, it's too public here.

Ask if you can move someplace
quieter, where you can really talk.

239
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,280
People want to be heard. That's why
90 percent of seduction is just listening.

[MAN] Or at least pulling
a face like you're listening.

Yeah, that works, too.

242
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,960
The important thing
is to make them feel important.

243
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,960
Like they can make you want to
extinguish the rest of the world

244
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,360
and focus on them.

00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,800
I just... I just never
noticed it before.

249
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,800
[SCOFFS] In five years? Jesus.

250
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,640
Anyway, the point is to stay
locked in on them long enough

251
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,480
to build a rapport.

252
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,320
So, well, I would guess
that either every guy in there

253
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,160
has already tried to hit on you or, uh,
maybe they find you too intimidating.

00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,960
- Am I intimidating?
- No, no, no, no, no. I'm just, uh...

255
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,600
No, I just imagine that they all
kind of want to get in inside your...

- Head.
- ...head.

257
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,400

00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,480
Not directly.

259
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,320
They send messages, or they make
it so you know what they're thinking.

Yeah. That can't be fun.

- ...Magson Frank.

267
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,480
- Three years. - Oh, wow.
So three Christmas parties.

00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,720

- Mm-hm.

270
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,120
I've been planning it forever,
but you know what it's like.

271
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,240
You know you have to do it, but
when it comes right down to it,

272
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,080
it's hard
to work up the courage.

273
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,240
You can empathize with that.

274
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,520
Yeah. It's like when you want
to jump into a pool,

275
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,320
and you're worried that
the water's going to be cold.

276
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,520
But you know moments after you
jump in that it'll be fine.

277
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,000
It's the fear of the shock
that holds you back.

278
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,840
Ultimately, the only thing you're
worried about is the transition

279
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,040
from one state to another.

280
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,800
And that can't hurt you because
it's... it's just a state change.

281
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,480
Great stuff, kid.
Almost word-for-word.

282
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,520
That's exactly right,
it's just a state change.

283
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,240
Right. And it's
frustrating because

284
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,760
you've always got these ten voices
in your head saying, "Don't do it"

285
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,240
and another ten in your head
saying, "Do it".

286
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,400
Which one do you listen to?

287
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:58,720
The "do it"s.

Yeah. If you don't like it, you
can just cut and run, you know.
