Oh jeez. I’d like to ask you to stop thinking of girls this way, but who are we kidding here?
Anyway, the two main things women are looking for in conversations with strangers are interestingness and positivity. It literally doesn’t matter what you’re talking about so long as you can keep the energy up and it’s at least mildly entertaining. It’s not about the subjects at all. You could be talking about the Manson family murders and lots of girls wouldn’t even bat an eye at the subject matter, as long as you can maintain positive energy.
If you think about it, just about anybody would love to have a conversation like this with anyone. Doesn’t matter if you’re young or old, attractive or ugly, conversation skills can earn you attention like nothing else.
I call these ‘extraverted conversations’ and I avoid them unless I’m so into the person that it starts coming naturally. It takes a lot to break me out of my shell. I like having deep introverted-type conversations. In these types of conversations, both interestingness and positivity aren’t strictly needed. But what is needed is time and an almost meditative focus.
You need time to meander through whatever superficial topic you find yourself talking about, weather, the venue, the hosts, to find something deep to talk about. Most extraverts get off on short bursts of positivity and just won’t have the patience to stick it through. They’ve got all these other people to talk to, you can’t monopolize their time all night!
So you need interestingness and positivity to hold their attention.
