Provide (or offer to provide) a free meal in a comfortable and secure venue.


So what I gather from this is, if I ask for advice on how to get a date, Fnord will buy me a meal. Do I get repeated meals for asking repeatedly? :P


it actually works that way if he is getting something in exchange, the ability to preach his beliefs at you and you seem responsive or any such thing that he sees rewarding (i.e. - the manipulation if worked properly is two way)


I volunteer in retail. I can pretend to be responsive. :)

Interesting post (my opening ;) Honestly it is an interesting post ) To support the idea that communication glides better when eating, notice often when you're in public how when one person starts eating of their own accord, soon another will likely start eating too. When a person eats it means their defenses are down and everyone else picks up on it and lower their defenses too.


Do you think NT people pick up on this kind of stuff subconsciously? Something like this would never have occurred to me unless someone pointed it out.


Most NTs do. Just eat more often in public things such as sandwiches or crisps and you will notice other people start to get out their packets of crisps/chips about 70% of the time, especially when sitting down. Don't get out stinky food because that puts people off.
