Qualifying-
Qualifying with statements such as:
- not bad.
- if you say so
- why do you say that?
- riggght.
The key to qualifying is to not give away what you want, and to get them to jump through your hoops. Qualifying with body language and facial expressions is a little trickier. The main goal however should be to judge whatever they say against your own internal rational thinking and feelings.
For instance, If I told you that bush is an idiot. You would either agree, disagree, or not have an opinion. Those are the 3 basic rules to qualifying. You either agree with the statement, disagree with the statement or have no opinion for or against. You could have some caveats but more or less you either agree or disagree.
Same concept when dealing with people.
The problem people have with this is that it is common for people to think that to build rapport with people you should find commonalities with them. And that is true, however, people often sacrifice their own ideals in order to build rapport with another.
Let me dispel the belief that finding commonalities means agreeing with everything they say. It is true that often times the fastest way to find commonalities is to have the same thoughts regarding similar issues, but that is only if it is true. If you don’t actually believe that bush is an idiot then disagree with me. Part of being a man is standing up for what you believe in, even if it means being confrontational.
Which brings me to this point. Confrontation, a man should know when to stand up and fight, and when to disregard. Part of being a man is not being afraid to get into a confrontation. That’s where the fire hardens you as a man, and as a person in general.
My brain farted and this is what came out.
