Small Talk Tips

[Can’t Stump TrumpParticipant]

I fail epically at small talk. No matter how hard I try, I just can’t seem to give a f~~~. However, I also don’t want it to be obvious that I’m a sociopath. Do any of you witty and loquacious men have tips for how to handle small talk? I know the weather one; that’s about it.

Women are better at multitasking? Fucking up several things at once is not multitasking.

I think the answer is in your question. Small talks are not for everyone you know!

In the UK you can start a conversation with just about anyone by mentioning the weather.

It’s always changeable, unseasonaly hot or cold etc.

Then move on to what you can / can’t do at work or home due to the weather.

Then what you’d like to do if the weather was better.

Where you would like to live to enjoy better weather if you had the chance.

Which countries weather you have checked out while on holiday.

Recalling good or bad weather from summers or winters past.

What you like to do to cheer yourself up during long spells of bad weather.

You get the idea?

Basically, everyone on this island is at the mercy of the elements and so we all have this in common.

It’s a good ice breaker.

Where you take it from there is up to you 🙂

I used to think I sucked at “small talk”.
Now I know I suck at it, it’s been confirmed by a myriad of other people.

I rarely talk politics, religion, social agendas, or pretty much anything of any importance with people I do not “really’ know.
I cloak/taint everything I say in humour as sarcasm is not my forte.
Even chatting about the weather will “trigger” a f~~~ ton of environmental overreactions from people who have never left a city.

Keep small talk correct, concise, and mostly unimportant.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

If you appear to be comfortable with silence, then small talk does not matter. The only folks that are uncomfortable with silence are those that need constant affirmation. Starve them of oxygen and they move onto another potential host.

If I get someone Global Warming my Ass I say “Hell Yeah” “Bring it on!” I’m all for warmer weather me! 🙂

Really p~~~es them off as I laugh at their virtue signaling. The more they preach, the Dumber I play it until they walk away.

And I can play really really dumb. 🙂

i think the secret is to just let it happen.
it might start with a small compliment,
great tie !
then you can expect a “thanks..
if that’s all you get say ‘where did you get it?’
..and so on.
really anything will work..
i used to pick up chick’s in the produce section of supermarkets..
i would play dumb and ask,
“are 3 oranges for a dollar a good price?”
or some stupid question like that..
if they answered,
i had them..
if not it was NEXT.
..
purpose of small talk is the question..
at a party you can start with a comment about the food etc..
keep it positive as a negative can bite you in the ass.

Smooth pick up action there Hitman 🙂

If I really wanted to pick up women I think I’d rather head for the supermarket at 19.45hrs than the night club.

If there were no consequences then it could be a lot of fun.

I saw that in the cinema when it came out.

Might have started my interest in American culture. Automotive especially.

CB Radio became the internet of the day.

The US just seemed like another world to me at the time. Will finally vist this May to check it out in person. Might as well see some of the earth before it gets vapourised 🙂

Other people love to talk about them selfs and all things associated, If you let them. All you have to do is pay attention to the question in the statement or if it’s a direct question… well a self proclaimed sociopath should be able to figure that out. I will put in three words, listen and lead.

I’d like to spare the civilians, if possible.

I’m headin’ to Florida May 11th – May 25th. Going to call in at Pete’s. Don’t have any clear plans. Hopefully learn how to shoot on the range and drive on the right. Had planned to do a road trip but way too ambitious for my first trip. Just want to soak up the local culture. Want to check out Musscle car museums and Confederate Airforce. Hopefully see some parks and natural wonders. Also like to see how the American female operates in the local bars ;-). Intend to be polite and respectful to all and not get busted or shot!

If this goes well I’ll make more trips and get to see more of the country including Yellowstone park.
Would be happy to meet more members in person if possible and available.

A bit nervous, but looking forward to it.

Keep it succinct.

Try to smile and radiate positive body language.

Throw in a joke and make them laugh.

Don’t discuss politics or religion.

This seems to be a MGTOW consensus. Good advice.

Or you could stop giving a f~~~ and rock the boat till it sinks.

“nice weather today, eh?”
“This conversation is so trite already, what the f~~~ is the point? let’s connect like real f~~~ing human entities; what’s going on in your head? what are your biggest fears? what do you love? what makes you cry? did you see anyone you wanted to talk to today but didn’t? Have you ever thought that the only regrets in life are things not done?”

Boat: rocked.

and my favourite is to re-purpose that classic from fight club;

“I dunno I guess I’m just a normal person”
“oh yeah? How’s that working out for you? Being normal?”
“ok, I guess”
“great, keep it up then.”

Seriously next time an old lady on the bus starts talking at me, I’m going to ask her “why do you think I care? what are you talking to me about your f~~~ing grandchildren for? I don’t know them, who are you? what are you hoping to achieve by this small talk?”
